What’s on my

wishlist this year

As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in shopping for everyone else—but don’t forget to add yourself to the list! Whether it’s for Christmas, your birthday (if you’re like me and celebrate during the holiday hustle), or simply a little self-care splurge, creating a wishlist is a fun way to treat yourself while giving others some gifting inspiration. I’ve rounded up 14 of my favorite picks this year, ranging from practical to indulgent, to help spark ideas for your own wishlist. After all, there’s nothing wrong with letting your loved ones know exactly what would make you smile!

This post was one of the most popular last year, and I’m excited to share even more wishlist-worthy finds with you again this year. Let’s get into it!


This bracelet has been on my wishlist for a while. It’s the perfect combination of elegance and everyday wearability. It has a simple design that makes it easy to layer with other bracelets or wear solo for a subtle sparkle. I love how timeless a diamond tennis bracelet feels—it's the kind of piece I could wear for years. If you’re not ready to splurge, you can a similar style for less here.

If you haven’t treated yourself to a bath sheet, you are missing out, my friend. We recently tried Weezie Towels for our new bathroom and they might be my favorite ever, I want them in the larger sizes now. The texture and softness are even better than hotel-level luxury. Not only are they ultra-soft and absorbent, but they also come with the option to customize with a monogram or initial, making them an ideal personal gift. Trust me, once you experience the cozy embrace of a bath sheet, you’ll never want to go back to regular towels again.

We recently splurged on these sheets, and we love them so much that I want another set. A good night’s sleep is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, which is why this sheet set has earned a spot on my wish list. Made from sustainably sourced bamboo, these sheets are not only incredibly soft but also breathable and temperature-regulating, making them ideal for year-round comfort. I love that they’re designed to last and have a 10-year warranty—what more could you ask for in bedding?

This tote bag is a dream bag for anyone who loves to travel in style and stay organized. The sleek design and premium leather make it a timeless style for work or play, while the triple compartments are perfect for keeping your essentials easily accessible on the go. Whether heading to the airport, running errands, or going to work, this tote has room for everything—laptop, snacks, water bottle, and more—without feeling bulky. It's the perfect combination of function and fashion.

This necklace is the splurge version of this similar style that I’ve been wearing since spring, and this one feels like the perfect upgrade. I wasn’t sure if I would wear it, but I do! It’s bold enough to make any outfit pop but still super wearable—think layered over cozy sweaters or a basic tee. It’s the kind of piece I’ll reach for over and over again.

Pajamas are one of my favorite gifts to give and receive every year—they’re cozy, practical, and always feel like a little luxury. These pajamas are cute and comfy, without being too warm. I love that they’re available in both standard and plus sizing, making them an inclusive and thoughtful gift for anyone on your list.

Here’s to comfort and practicality meeting on my wish list this year with these no-show underwear! Because when was the last time you refreshed your underwear drawer? They’re lightweight, seamless, and perfect for staying invisible under any outfit—exactly what I want for everyday wear and lounging. I always use this detergent to wash them, keeping them like new.

Shoes are always a great gift idea, and these leopard loafers are a no-brainer for my wish list this year. I have them in several other colors but I can’t resist this fun leopard print. I’ve been obsessed with Sam Edelman shoes for years—they’re my go-to for everything from heels to mules, loafers, and sneakers. They’re always stylish, super comfortable, and last forever. I can already picture myself wearing these loafers all the time—they’re just too good!

Slippers are a winter must-have, especially around the house. I love these cozy ones that have been trending for awhile. That said, I’ve also found a similar style here that offers the same look and feel, which makes this trend even more accessible! Whether you’re splurging on the originals or opting for a budget-friendly alternative, these slippers are a total win for staying comfy all season long.

This perfume sampler set is SUCH a good and practical gift idea, I don’t know why more people don’t talk about it. It comes with mini sizes of some of the best-selling fragrances, so you can try them all before committing to a favorite. The best part? It includes a voucher for a free full-size bottle of your favorite scent from the set for no additional price! It’s like gifting yourself (or someone else) the ultimate fragrance shopping experience. Perfect for anyone who loves trying new perfumes or wants to discover their signature scent.

I’m obsessed with this dry shampoo and could always use a restock. It gives it that fresh, just-washed look (and smell!) without any heavy residue. This set is a total game-changer so you can keep one in your bathroom, and one on the go for busy mornings, post-workout refreshes, or just extending your style a little longer. I can’t live without it! Perfect for those who like to work smarter, not harder for their perfect hair days.

Can you ever have too many tumblers? Don’t answer that. While my cupboards might suggest otherwise, I’m convinced the answer is no—especially when it comes to this tumbler. It’s perfect for keeping your drinks icy cold or piping hot all day long AND IS SPILL PROOF! My favorite part about it is the no-spill feature and the silicone straw, which makes it extra toddler-friendly so it doesn’t scrape the roof of their mouth. It’s definitely a wishlist-worthy upgrade for any large cup lover!

Coffee table books are one of my favorite ways to add a touch of style to any space. It’s not just a book—it’s a statement piece, elevating your living room, office, or even a bedroom. It’s the kind of gift that’s equal parts thoughtful and chic, perfect for anyone who loves fashion, design, or a beautifully curated space. You can see more of my coffee table books here!

This was on my list last year and Santa did not come through for me. As a self-proclaimed pizza lover, this pizza oven seems like a total dream. Imagine whipping up restaurant-quality, wood-fired pizzas—giving you that authentic experience without leaving home. If you’re as obsessed with pizza nights as I am, this is the ultimate gift to take them to the next level. Of course it’s not complete without this pizza peel too!
