I’m working on a bunch of gift guides to help you all with gift ideas for your loved ones. But first, I’m sharing my personal Christmas wishlist to help my loved ones! I like to think I’m pretty easy to shop for because I have so many interests, but I know how helpful it can be to just have a list of items spelled out for you. These items are things I have had my eye on for some time and would definitely use!
- Cookbooks – I love cooking and hosting and while I do get alot of ideas from food blogs online, I do love going through an old-fashioned cookbook. And speaking of old-fashioned, I would love to have my own copy of the classic Better Homes and Garden cookbook. Another option, would be this one which has easy recipes just for two (which is perfect for us!)
- Belt Bag – Who would’ve thought fanny packs would make such a comeback? I’m totally on board as they’re just so convenient! The Lululemon Everywhere belt bags look so nice but they keep selling out – if that doesn’t change, I would be plenty happy with anything neutral or Star Wars/Disney.
- Airpods – I’ve never owned a pair of earbuds because I typically find them uncomfortable. I’ve been working out at the gym a lot and think it’s time to give them another chance. Plus, I hear Airpods are more comfortable than most.
- Betabrand Pants – These are the ONLY brand of dress pants I wear now! They feel like yoga pants but look so professional and flattering! I have a black and navy pair that I wear multiple times a week and it’d be great to add another pair to my weekly rotation. They have some gorgeous vibrant colors, but I do tend to lean more towards neutrals. I wish they had a khaki option, but I do like the Bronze and Goldenrod colors. As for the Styles, I like the Straight-Leg and my size is Small Short Petite (which is PERFECT length for my 5’3″ height).
- Rothy’s Flats – These are the most comfortable pair of flats I own! I can’t believe they’re made from plastic bottles! I wear my black pair ALLLL the time and would love a second pair in either the Ecru or Camel color.
- Star Wars Loungefly Backpack – After admiring them for years, I finally bought my first Loungefly backpack this past year! With so many cute designs, it definitely takes some restraint to not spend all my money on these! I try to be very picky about which ones to add to my collection and I’ve had this Ladies of the Rebellion at the top of my list for some time now.
- Red Rising Board Game – One of my all time favorite book series made into a board game by one of my favorite board game companies? I am so intrigued and excited to play this! Would also love an expansion pack to one of my favorite board games, Wingspan.
- 1.25” Hair Curler – I love my T3 curling wand set, but it doesn’t come with a 1.25″ barrel which makes the perfect sized waves for my hair. I also like that this comes with a clamp.
- 2023 Planner – Hosanna Revival make the most beautiful Bibles and their hand-painted aesthetic extends to their planners! I am SO picky about my planners and the Salamanca design is my top choice. The undated desk calendar is also gorgeous.
- Popsocket – Thanks to these, no longer does my phone constantly fall out of my hands! I got a new phone and now need a new popsocket. The Harry Potter collection has some beautiful cases and this really cool Golden Snitch popsocket! Some other places (that are also small businesses) with great phone cases and popsockets that I would love are Hello SamSam Designs, Wonder Of A Kind, and Get It Creations!
- Fandom Accessories – I love the House of the Dragon replica pieces from Hot Topic and the classy necklaces from Jo and Co (my faves are the Reylo, Home, and Once Upon A Castle). I also can’t get enough of small shop made Disney ears – Mouse Goals Shop is one of my favorites!
- Meal Kit Subscription – I love meal kits! It’s so fun choosing your meals for the week and preparing them! Budget-wise, it’s tough to do them consistently but they are a treat every now and then!
- Funko Pops – Always looking to expand my little collection! Some characters I would love to add: Appa, Zuko, Neville, Cedric, Gambit, Wonder Woman + Steve, Dark Rey, and Kylo Ren (2).
- Theme Park Passes – I’m all about experiences/memories as gifts these days and going to theme parks is one of my absolute favorite things to do! I feel so fortunate that I live somewhere where so many theme parks are close by!
- Gift Cards – You truly can’t go wrong when you let me pick lol. If you need ideas of where I shop most: Amazon, Target, Abercombie, Etsy, Box Lunch, Hot Topic, It’s Boba Time, Her Universe, and Disney
