This year’s Christmas list is all about things that make life feel easier, cozier, and a little more magical — from faith-centered books and exclusive editions to mom-friendly comfort items, theme-park touches, and a few beauty upgrades to help me feel human again. These are all things I’ve been curious about, have heard amazing things about, or know I’ll use constantly.
Whether you’re shopping for yourself or another cozy, book-loving, theme-park-addicted millennial mama… here’s some inspiration. ✨
Things On My Wishlist
📚 Books I’m Loving or Want to Read in 2025
1. Beautiful Year With Jesus – I’m really craving more peaceful, grounding moments in this new season of life, and this devotional looks like the perfect way to slow down and reset each morning.
2. The Wordsearch Book: Hope (Quotes & Scriptures) – Scripture-based wordsearches feel like the calmest possible form of self-care. Perfect for quiet nights when I want something relaxing but still meaningful.
3. Alchemised (B&N Exclusive Edition) – My Dramione girlies will understand. 👀 As someone who’s very familiar with that fanfiction world, I’m sooo curious to see how this book reimagines those roots in a polished, original format. Plus the exclusive edition is gorgeous.
4. The One Year Bible – I want to be more consistent in my Bible reading, and this layout makes it feel simple and achievable – even in full mom mode.
5. Sunrise on the Reaping (Collector’s Gift Edition) – One of my absolute favorite reads of the year. Truly gives Catching Fire a run for its money as my top Hunger Games book, and this collector’s edition is stunning.
6. What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking – Most nights I’m tired by 4pm 😅 and I need meals that don’t require much thought. This book looks like the perfect solution.
👗 Clothing & Accessories
1. Hoka Bondi 9 (Size 7) – I’ve heard nothing but amazing things, and honestly… I’ve reached the age where I’m finally ready for good shoes. My feet always hurt, especially after long theme-park days. These feel like the answer. My color preferences are the Vanilla/Birch, Black, or White.
2. Heart Locket – Classic, sentimental, and so timeless. I love the idea of keeping tiny photos of the kids tucked inside.
3. Coach Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 28 – Minimalist, neutral, and polished – a perfect everyday mom bag without looking like a “mom bag.”
4. Baggu Medium Crescent Bag – Lightweight and cute for errands, travel, or theme-park days.
5. Bag Charms – I love adding personality to my bags – Disney, Harry Potter, boba, little fandom nods… it just makes me happy. Baublebar has some really cute ones, I also love supporting small shop-made ones.
✨ Other Fun & Practical Favorites
1. TYMO Curling Wand for Long Hair (Gold) – I love that this wand literally does the curling for you and tells you when it’s done. If styling my hair wasn’t so time-consuming and exhausting, I’d do it more – so I’m hoping this helps. And it’s specifically made for long hair, which feels like fate.
2. Buffy Breeze King Sheet Set (Earth or Moss) – We upgraded to a king bed this year and are still using backup sheets 😅. I miss our nice Brooklinen queen set from our wedding. I’ve heard such good things about Buffy, and I’m dying for high-quality sheets again.
3. Acacia Cake Stand – Beautiful, natural wood. Perfect for hosting, displaying treats, or just making my kitchen feel pretty.
4. Fujifilm Single-Use Camera + Smartphone Printer – I want to capture more candid, nostalgic moments – especially with Summer and soon baby boy – and actually print them. This combo is perfect.
5. Our Place Pan (Large in Steam) – We love our mini size, but we recently had to retire our main large non-stick pan due to scratches. This feels like the perfect upgrade – and the color Steam is gorgeous.
6. Lola Blanket in Desert Dune – Supposedly the softest, best blanket ever. Definitely a splurge, but wow, do I want to try one.
7. Merit Complexion Concealer Stick – Quick, easy mom makeup. One swipe and I look alive.
8. Theme Park Tickets – Because few things make me happier than going to Disney, Universal, or any park. Core memory central.
9. Prenatal Massage – Pregnant with a toddler = my back is begging for mercy. Enough said.
