This guide is always such a fun one to put together. Most of my other gift guides feature items I already own or that someone in my family has and loves, but this one is purely for things I’d love to receive (or treat myself to someday). Some are fanciful, some are frivolous, and some are more practical.
I once read a piece of data about influencer gift guides that said most people actually shop for themselves through them rather than for others. I’m curious if you all agree with that? Over the years, I’ve heard from many of you that my guides help you decide what to ask for at Christmastime. This “My Wish List” gift guide is always my most popular of the year, so I'm excited to share it now as we head into the heart of the holiday season. I always create a second “My Wish List” guide in December as well. Here are the current guides so far, and I've also linked the 2024 guides at the bottom of this post, which remain relevant this year.
2025 Gift Guides:
Rug// This rug is gorgeous. I've had the tab open in my browser for months. We have a perfectly nice rug in our living room right now, so it doesn't need to be replaced. However, I would really love to replace it with this one!
Perfume// My mom and I smelled this in the airport during our layover on our way to Portugal. It's a men's scent, but it's very unisex. There is a woman's version, but my mom and I both agreed that this smelled better. I'm not a rose scent person, and while you do smell a hint of rose, it's warm, sophisticated, and not powdery.
Diamond Bezel Tennis Bracelet // This was on my wish list last year, and sadly, Santa forgot to deliver. But maybe this year?!
Kettle// This is a pour-over kettle designed for hot water, but I envision it as a tea kettle where I add the tea bag, brew it in the pot, and then pour the tea into a mug as I drink it. I'm not sure if it would work that way, but I am always looking for something to elevate the everyday. I have my Grammie's Wedgwood tea set that my Grandpa gave her as an anniversary gift, but it's too precious for me to actually brew tea in it! I love how elegant this looks, and because it's not silver, I won't have to polish it!
Passport Cover// I am not a big LV gal, but some of their smaller things are pretty. I would love a new passport cover. I also really love the idea of this monogrammed one. It also has a more palatable price tag.
Salt + Pepper Mills// One of those things to elevate the everyday! We have salt and pepper shakers, but they are not mills. We like to mill our own salt and pepper when cooking, so I'd love to ditch our Costco Plastic Kirkland mills that we get when we buy peppercorns and go with something like this.
Crystal Pitcher// We have a gorgeous silver pitcher that we received for our wedding. It's so pretty, but I used it as a flower vase a few times, and it has this stained ring around the interior. Now, I'm concerned about drinking out of it, so I only use it as a vase, which is fine. I'd prefer a glass one so that it is easier to clean! We have several pieces of the 'Dorset' line, and I love how it's both modern and classic.
Laptop Cover// Again, elevate the everyday! I use my laptop every single day, so I might as well make it pretty!
Faux Fur Coat// I love a good faux fur coat, and it's no secret because I have two on this wish list alone. I tried this on in the store, and I have not stopped thinking about it since. It's so elegant and fabulous. I'm going to buy this for myself, but hope it goes on sale during Cyber Week!
Red Flats// I have these flats in black and have been wearing them nonstop since I got them. I love the shape, and they are incredibly comfortable!
Silver Pinky Ring// For my birthday this year, I treated myself to a DY bracelet (which will be featured in my splurge-worthy gift guide!), and I tried on this pinky ring in the store and loved it too. It was the perfect scale. It's also relatively inexpensive! I wear a gold monogrammed signet ring daily, and so I think it'd be fun to switch it up with silver every once in a while!
Heart Pajamas// One of my favorite pajama styles, I just love their whimsical prints. The blue hearts are iconic!
Persimmon Sweater// I love this color, and this is one of my favorite sweater styles that I have in 3 colors!
Cashmere Wrap// Another wardrobe staple I have in two colors and would love to add the pink to my collection. It's the perfect shade of pink, and you can't beat the quality for the price. This is a lovely gift for any woman, at any age. Plus, you can never have too many wraps!
Brown Block Heel Flats// I love a short block heel as I find them more comfortable than fully flat shoes. I have a high arch, and this is what works best for me. I love this style and especially the deep brown color. This shoe brand is one of my favorites. The price is much less than designer brands like Manolo, etc., but the quality is comparable.
Silver Shell Dish// Isn't this adorable? I love a little trinket dish!
Open Earbuds// These earbuds are 'open' so that they don't actually go into your ear. Therefore, you can still hear your surroundings clearly while listening to music you enjoy. From a safety aspect, I love this.
Mexican Train Game Set// We played this game at the lake this summer, and I loved it! I'd love a set so we can play at home!
Dinner Plate// Forever dreaming of a table full of Giniro in all of the colors!
Sweet and Sour Candy Mix// I am a gummy candy fiend. I can't be stopped!! This is one of those social media viral brands that specializes in Swedish candy.
Truffle Balsamic// This is my favorite balsamic brand. They're all pricey, but they're what we use for dressings. They are truly much better than most store-brand balsamic vinegars. I have yet to try the truffle version, but I would imagine it's amazing! I always think a gourmet/specialty food item is a wonderful gift for someone whom you either don't know very well or for someone who seemingly has everything!
Mascara// This is the BEST mascara. One side is brown, and you can either wear it on its own or layer it with the other side, which is black. The brown is used for separation and lengthening, while the black is used for plumping. I use both on my top lashes, and then just the brown on my bottom lashes. This is one of my favorite makeup brands.
Faux Fur Jacket// Another faux fur jacket on the list! I have this coat in the longer version and love it, but sometimes that feels 'too much' for more casual outings. I think the shorter jacket is easier to throw on. The faux fur is so realistic!
Silver Photo Frame// I have been looking for a tabletop frame for our bedroom, and this is my favorite. I also love that you can have the frame printed and put inside!
Suede Handbag// I've been eyeing this bag for years. I'm not a big handbag gal, but I really love how ladylike this is. I have been waffling between this and the Totem bag. Both are around the same price but have different looks.
Jewelry Box// I have a great jewelry box, but I need a bit more storage real estate! This is beautiful.
Night Cream// My all-time favorite night cream. I like to have one on hand for when I run out. It's so hydrating and plumping! It's definitely a splurge, but it has worked wonderfully for my skin. I love this brand. It's clean and made in Italy.
Tote Bag// This is something I likely won't actually get because I feel it's a bit too trendy for me, but I love the bandana print trend. Designers have become incredibly creative in incorporating the bandana print into a wide range of items. I love the colorful personalization option that this brand offers!
Black Pants// I have been seeing these pants everywhere. They're a barrel-style pant, and while I don't want to invest too much into the trend, I think these are fun.
Brown Suede Flats// Another pair of brown shoes I am eyeing. I have seen this brand everywhere, too, and I love all of the color options!
