Confession time: I’m a terrible person to buy gifts for. Mostly because I have a tendency to just buy whatever it is I need or want (see below). But also because I tend to veer towards the pricier side of the Christmas wishlist. So today’s post is as much for you as it is my friends who are shopping this holiday season. Maybe you don’t know what to ask for or you have a beauty & wellness obsessed friend like me, I hope my Christmas wishlist can inspire you.
1. Herschel Supply Co. Carry On Bag*
I’ve had my eyes on this luggage for quite a while now. And I’m overwhelmingly due for a new carry on bag. With so many on the market, I love the classic look of this bag. It comes in a few different colors but the ash rose and white are my favorites.
2. By Terry Cellularose Brightening CC Serum*
I’ve had a bottle of this CC serum in my rotation for months. But I’m almost out and I’m not ready to live without it. I’ve bought a few others in search of a close dupe. However, this is by far one of my most used and loved products.
3. Pandora Hearts Of Pandora Eternity Stacking Ring*
I love a bit of dainty jewelry and I’ve been working to build my collection for the last few years. This pandora ring is simple but elegant. Plus, it will look amazing with my feather ring*.
4. Monica Vinader Alta Capture Link Chain Bracelet*
I’m not too much of bracelet girl. Maybe it’s because I’ve never gotten into the habit of wearing them but I find they annoy me if they are too large. So this link bracelet is the perfect middle ground. It’s simple and not too much for my wrist.
5. Ugg Bailey Bow II Boot*
So there’s a chance I may or may not have already bought these for myself. Whoops? I live in my ugg slippers year round. And despite already owning a pair of knit uggs, it’s time for an upgrade. Knit ones tend to lose their shape and don’t stay up well. While I won’t necessarily rock these every day, they are an investment I’ve had on my wishlist for over a year. My feet are looking forward to staying warm this winter.
6. May Lindstrom The Blue Cocoon*
Not surprisingly, a few items on my list this year are ones I love and will use again. I mentioned my love of Blue Cocoon in my November favorites. Unfortunately, I’m almost out of my jar of amazingness. The price tag is a bit heftier than I want to dish out right now. But the balm is so soothing and I’d love Santa even more if it appeared under the tree this year.
7. May Lindstrom The Honey Mud*
I have yet to own a full bottle of this May Lindstrom product but the samples alone won me over. During this time of the year, I find I’m reaching for hydrating and calming products the most. And Honey Mud is easily one of my favorite masks/cleansers that soothes and hydrates my skin.
8. Vitamix Pro 750 Heritage Blender
The older I get, the pricier my Christmas wishlist seems to get. And of course, what wellness blogger doesn’t need a Vitamix in her life? I’ve diligently used my Ninja blender for the past few years but I’m in the market to upgrade. Plus, who doesn’t love a blender with a self cleaning function?
9. Lucy Williams Octagon Medallion Necklace*
There’s 100% chance that this necklace is already around my neck thanks to Black Friday sales. However, I wanted to include it because it’s been on my wishlist for a while. Again, I’m here for the dainty jewelry. And I’ve been picturing this necklace with a few outfits over the last several months. Merry Christmas to me!
10. Beautyblender’s Blender Delight*
There are so many amazing gift sets around this of the year but this beautyblender one is at the top of my list. I love that the travel case and soap are included in the bundle!
11. Breville Milk Café Electric Frother*
As much as I love my Nespresso*, I could definitely use a better milk frother. Because I use non-dairy milk for everything, it can be challenging to get a good froth. And this one does a great job with a variety of milks.
12. Beautycounter Shimmer & Shine Body Set*
I’ve been obsessed with this body butter for a few months now. So this body oil and scrub combo is calling my name. Plus, every girls deserves a little non-toxic beauty under her Christmas tree.
13. Steve Madden Pearl Pump*
Full disclaimer: I’d actually prefer the black pair of these over the blue. But I love the bow detail on these heels. Perfect for the holiday season or just because. I’m all about a fun pair of heels.
14. Ted Baker London Padlock Leather Crossbody Bag*
There’s always at least one handbag on my Christmas wishlist and this is the one I’m drooling over this year. I love the leather and velvet combo. Plus, it’s the perfect size for every day use.
15. Nike Air Max 270 Premium Sneaker*
If I’m particular about any one part of my outfit, it’s always my shoes. They are my thing. And while my bootie collection is strong, there’s a lack in my sneaker selection. I love how simple but fun the design is on these Nikes. The white works with tons of things and the color adds the extra flair.
16. Gilded Velvet Pillow*
Every since I started the redo of my bedroom, I’ve been hunting for the right pillows. As it stands, I tend to swap my throw pillows around seasonally. But this velvet pillow is perfect for my post Christmas decor vibes. I love the contrast of velvet and shine.
17. Barefoot Dreams Cozy Chic Throw Blanket*
A few months ago Lauryn from the Skinny Confidential mentioned this blanket and I’ve wanted one every since. And because I tend to live under blankets during this time of the year, I’m hoping this will make it under the tree. Something soft, cozy and warm? What more could I ask for in a present?
18. Celine Flutes, Set of 4*
I’m a prosecco gal at heart. There’s just something I love about a glass of sparkling wine. But somehow I don’t seem to own any champagne flutes. This set is a bit different than my current glasses selection. However, I love the detailing and it makes drinking a glass of bubbly even more fun.
19. Nurse Jamie UpLift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller*
The closer I creep towards 30 the more I find myself diving into my skincare routine. And this facial roller is on the top of my list to add to my routine. I’m all for de-puffing my skin and helping it age as gracefully as possible. So this little guy is the perfect tool to help.
20. Slip Silk Sleep Mask*
A few months ago, I finally broke down and bought a silk pillow case*. I wanted something gentle to help with hair growth and my skin. And now that I’ve fallen in love with my pillow case, I’ve got my eyes on a silk eye mask.
21. Replica By The Fireplace*
I’ve never considered my self much of a fragrance girl but I’ve been slowly building my collection. After hearing Allana rave about this one, I decided to test it out in Sephora. Needless to say, I’ve fallen in love and now need it in my life.
22. HP Sprocket Portable Printer*
I know this little printer has made the rounds of sponsored videos. However, I’m starting to consider making more scrapbooks to remember my travels. I love the idea of being able to print out small photos to send in notes or just to save for myself.
23. Luxe Makeup Brush Cleaner*
If you watch my insta stories, you’ll know I’ve already snagged one of these for myself. Clearly I’m not feeling very patient this year. This has been on my to buy list for a while. And I’m so glad I finally broke down and got it. Cleaning my brushes just got a whole lot easier.
24. A Modern Way To Cook*
Last but not least, I wouldn’t be me without a cookbook on my wishlist. A recently discovery thanks to Anna from The Anna Edit. I’m all about finding new, fun ways to eat my veggies. And this vegetarian cookbook looks right up my street.
