What’s On My Wishlist This Year
what’s on my
wishlist this year
In a season that often encourages us to prioritize the needs of others, there's something truly liberating about taking a moment to focus on ourselves. Whether it's a birthday, holiday season, or just a desire to treat yourself, creating a gift list for yourself is a delightful exercise in self-care. But what if you find yourself pondering, "I don't really need anything?" Fear not! In this post, I’m sharing a collection of handpicked ideas that are on my personal wishlist this year and some options that are always a good idea. Most of these options are on sale right now too! In case you missed my Cyber Week sales coverage, be sure to check it out!
I’m a big fan of athletic sneakers without laces, as mine never stay tied. I previously had this pair, and I’ve worn the sole out on them, so I'm currently eyeing this pair! It’s hard to stay up to date on all of the latest beauty trends, but one that has been around a while and is here to stay is light therapy. I saw this device highly rated all over TikTok, and I’ve been curious to try it. If you have, I’d love to hear your thoughts! These delicate knot earrings are simple and chic, and they’re under $15, too, so they’d make a great easy gift or stocking stuffer idea.
Whenever I edit my videos, it’s usually hunched over in my office, trying to be as quiet as possible. I think it’s time for some noise-cancelling headphones, so I crank up the volume and not disturb anyone! I’ve been eyeing this pizza oven for quite some time now… It’s a splurge, but if I make pizza at least once a week, I can justify it… right? While browsing for this list, I realized I had not purchased any new hairbrushes in YEARS, and my postpartum hair shedding has been fierce. This one looks great, with nearly 3K positive reviews!
I’ll never say no to a fresh pair of pajamas… I previously shared a post dedicated to my favorites, and these ones are definitely among my top picks! I love their new prints. I usually size up to a 1X for a roomier fit to the plus-size version shown here. I’m a big fan of YSL Beauty, everything I’ve tried lately has been fantastic, including their lip colors. I love this set with the prettiest shades of pink. I’ve also been eyeing this waterproof trench coat, the one I previously had is a little snug, so I’m thinking it may be time for a new one, and I love the shade of tan that this one is!
When we moved back in 2021, our blender did not survive, and we never got around to purchasing a new one. I’ve seen several people talk about how this is the best one, and maybe it will motivate me to make more smoothies. I love a practical gift. We recently got a new vehicle, and I think it’s always a good idea to have one of these emergency roadside assistance kits in your trunk, just in case! This one has nearly 4K positive reviews. I keep this lip mask next to my bed and use it every single night, I love this gift set with the different varieties!
I’ve seen this olive oil all over social media and wanted to try it but haven’t gotten around to doing so! Have you tried? Is it good? I was an early adopter of the Away Luggage brand, I’ve used my carry-on bag for six years and am hoping to upgrade to the newer expandable option, I believe the wheels are a bit smoother on this one, too. Lastly, I love wearing a pair of house slippers throughout the winter months. I typically like something with a thicker sole, which feels better on my feet, and in case I need to run outside to let Walter out, my feet will stay dry. Every few years, I could use a fresh pair, so I was eyeing these ones!
a few other ideas
worth asking for
A color consultation from the small, female-owned business Created Colorful! It has changed the way I shop and how I dress! You can still use code CARALYN for a $20 discount.
Do you have a favorite hair, nail, waxing, or massage place? I always love gift certificates to those because most are services I purchase throughout the year anyway, and it’s a great way to support local businesses.
You could also ask for a gift certificate for a bra fitting at your favorite specialty shop! Starting the new year off right with some new, properly fitting undergarments is always a good idea in my book. Find a fit-focused retailer in this previous post.
Thanks for reading!
If you’re still looking for ideas, I have two dedicated lists on my Amazon Storefront. One is a list of my favorite Black Friday/Cyber Week deals happening right now, and another is a list of stocking stuffers and gift ideas under $50! I hope this post was helpful. What is on your wishlist this year?
