Gift Guide: My Wish List


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). Many are fanciful, some frivolous, quite a few are in my dreams, 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. 

I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge that while these gift guides are filled with beautiful things, at the end of the day, they are just that: things. 

Giving gifts is one of my love languages. Finding the perfect gift for someone, something that makes them feel truly seen and loved, is nearly priceless. 

But as much joy as I find in giving gifts, I also think it's important to remember that the magic of the holiday season has little to do with what gets wrapped up in ribbons. It's the time spent with the people we love and the traditions we look forward to year after year that stay with us long after the gifts have been torn through. 

I hope these guides provide inspiration and make your holiday shopping easier, but more than anything, I hope this season brings you time to enjoy the people and moments that matter most. After all, time spent with the people we love is the greatest gift.

Some items of note... 
- I'd love this Sheer Button-Down Shirt in every color. It feels like 'me,' but the sheer fabric feels edgy and unique. 

- This Faux Fur Trimmed Coat is a dream!! The details are stunning; it truly looks like a coat I pulled from my grammie's closet in the 1960s. The price tag is a bit steep, but it's truly a special piece. 

- I'm on the hunt for an everyday small black crossbody bag. I have so many fun, colorful bags; I'm honestly just lacking something very basic. I'm eyeing this Black Crossbody Bag.

- My favorite Face Cream is pricey. It unfortunately works so well!! 

- I'm Petite Plume's newest and biggest fan. I'd love this Navy Pajama Set in every color! 

Some items of note... 

- I want Hot Rollers to play around with. I'm not exactly sure if I'll love them, so this lower-priced set is all I need! 

- I have these Printed Colorful Pants in two colors, but I love this kind of Florentine design! 

- I'm going to start junk journaling as a little something to keep me off of my phone! I'm not a big DIY gal, but I think this is simple, fun, and a unique way to document memories. This Junk Journal seems like the perfect thing to get started. 

- I've put so many miles on these Sneakers, I think it's time for a new pair. The BEST sneakers. They are so bouncy and cushion my feet like no other. 

Some items of note... 

- I drink a cup of this Green Tea daily! So deliciuos! 

- We have these White Wine Glasses but a few have broken over the years, so I need to restock my arsenal! 

- I had the tab for this Fleece Lined Coat open for weeks. The other night, my husband and I were talking, and he pulled out his phone to show me this same coat and said he was thinking of ordering it! It is not the prettiest coat, that's for sure, but my goodness, is it practical. It kind of reminds me of those swim parkas that you'd wear during swim practice and meets. I just know throwing this coat on over whatever to walk Henry would be perfect, no matter what the winter weather brings. 

- Now these Monogrammed Hair Clips are purely frivolous, but how fun!! The perfect thing to get someone who has everything, because there is a good chance she doesn't have her own monogrammed, no-crease hair clips! 

- I think this Dog Cocktail Table is the most expensive thing on here, but I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw one in person in Charleston!
