By now, you’re probably familiar with our yearly gift guide—it’s a labor of love that we release every year, full of gift ideas for everyone from your mom to that friend whose cubicle is next to yours to that one picky in-law who already has everything. Yes, these guides are sprinkled with items from our personal wish lists, but occasionally, a (sometimes niche) item at the very top of our personal wish list doesn’t make the cut. That’s why I turned to our team, who famously have impeccable taste, and asked them to share what’s on their wishlist. What can I say, I selfishly need gift inspo, am nosey, and love watching “what’s in my bag” videos. But trust me, the girls delivered. If you’re still searching for wish list inspiration or hunting for the perfect gift for someone (same here), you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve been slowly building my dream home gym, and this machine is next on my wishlist. It’s compact, high-quality, and gives me a full lower-body workout without the monthly gym membership.
– Ally, Chief of Sales
I’ve reached the “buy fewer, better things” stage of my life, and I’ve been craving an everyday earring that feels polished without trying too hard. These emerald-cut studs are it—minimal, modern, and quietly making every outfit feel more expensive.
– Caitlin, Graphic Designer
I have officially entered my “prioritizing sleep is self-care”. So, I would love to stop jolting awake to my phone alarm like I’m being summoned by the IRS and start waking up to a gentle sunrise glow and calming sounds instead. Plus, anything that helps me wind down at night without scrolling TikTok until my melatonin kicks in is a win in my book.
— Paige, Branded Content Editor
This palette has been living rent-free in my mind since it launched this fall. The nature-inspired shades, buttery textures, and barely-there shimmer are ideal for no-makeup makeup days, holiday party looks, and everything in between.
– Jess, Senior Fashion & Beauty Editor
I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect brown bag ever since making the silver and brown color combo my entire personality last fall. I don’t do crossbodies, but I do require hands-free. I want real leather, but I refuse to spend over $200. Jess, our fashion editor, showed me this Madewell gem when it first dropped a couple of months ago—and I haven’t stopped thinking about her since.

As soon as I saw this, I knew I needed it. The one pain in my yoga routine is rolling up my mat and keeping it together on the way out of class. And I know I’m not alone in this—I watch the people around me fumble with their mats all the time. Not only is this mat scrunchie genius, it’s adorable. Why didn’t anyone think of it sooner?? I want one in every color.

I have a couple of pieces of Caraway cookware already, and they’re truly the only pots and pans I want to cook with. The non-stick ceramic coating ensures food slides right out of the pan (which means cleanup is a breeze), and the pop of green is so fun. Now I just need this 10.5-inch fry pan to complete my set.

Guess who is fed up with ingrown hairs and razor burn? THIS GIRL. As my hair has gotten more coarse (and honestly, painful) with age, I’ve been toying with the idea of laser hair removal. So when I inevitably get hit with the “what do you want for Christmas” text in our family group chat, I’ll be responding with a link to this 75% off package* from LaserAway. Dolphin-smooth skin is in my future and I cannot wait to break up with my wax machine.
– Ashley Selleke, Branded Content Managing Editor
I bought myself a pair of the OG Rag & Bone Miramar Sweatpant Jeans last year, right before my second daughter was born, and I’ve probably worn them 2-3 times a week since then. They really do look like jeans, but they’re relaxed, comfy, and cozy like sweatpants. I’ve been eyeing a few different washes to add to my ever-growing comfy pants collection, and I think a nice light wash would be the perfect addition.

There are few things I love more in life than a truly fantastic pair of pajamas. They’re the ultimate everyday luxury—something you get to enjoy for hours on end. And when it comes to the best of the best, I always come back to LAKE. I’ve tried plenty of brands, but nothing compares to their quality and longevity. I especially love this set because it’s so chic I don’t even have to change on Saturday mornings—I can run errands in it, and no one would ever guess I’m still in my PJs.

This heavyweight denim chore jacket is the perfect layering moment—it’s the kind of piece you throw over a tee, but it’s polished enough to actually pull an outfit together. I’ve had it on my list forever and have (so far) somehow resisted hitting “add to cart.”
— McKenna Pringle, Branded Content Editorial Assistant
I have had my eye on the Weekender Bag for over a year now, and I’m finally putting it on my wishlist. As I’ve begun traveling more, a high-quality bag is essential for carrying my essentials. I actually bought this bag for my brother last year—now it’s my turn!
— Jenna Piotrowicz, Editorial Assistant

There’s nothing I love more in this life than an everyday luxury, and I’ve been dying to add the Soft Services hand cream to my collection. When I saw this Dedcool collab—featuring the lotion in one of my favorite scents of all time, plus a travel-size perfume spray—I knew it was going on my wishlist immediately.
— Lauren Blue, Assistant Editor
I’ve never had ~bougie~ bedding in my entire life–but now that I’m pushing 25, I think it’s time. I’ve had my eye on this Everlasting set foreeeeeever. I’m a sucker for a statement duvet (sorry, minimalist queens) and anything pinstripe, so this has my name written all over it. I love that it’s really high quality without sacrificing a fun vibe. If this is the only present I get this year, I’ll be happy as a clam.

Now that I’m 30, I have convinced myself it’s worth investing in higher quality accessories that will easily elevate a basic outfit, saving me both time getting dressed (a lot of decision fatigue really is saved when repeating a go-to outfit formula) and money by opting for classic staples instead of trends I’ll get over by next season. I have been eyeing this necklace in particular for months, and I’m asking Santa for it this year. It’s sleek and simple enough to go with multiple outfits, but it feels trendy and elevated to update a basic sweater and jeans.

No one is doing coats like Damson Madder, and I would love to unwrap one this holiday season. This reversible option is so cute, and when you think about it, you’re basically getting two jackets for the price of one.
— Lauren Blue, Assistant Editor
OK, Mom, if you’re being sent this, do NOT freak out at the price—it almost always goes on sale over BFCM (or if you just do a quick TikTok scroll, you’ll likely find an influencer code for 50% off). These blankets have a cult following for good reason: They’re oversized, incredibly soft, and have a bit of elastic for the perfect amount of stretch. This is one of the only things I have on my list this year, and I can’t wait for all of the cozy snuggles in my future.

I’ve been dreaming about waking up in the morning and sliding directly into this robe to do my morning routine. I’m trying to create all the comfy and cozy vibes this winter, and this robe is calling my name.

I am looking for a comfortable yet chic shoe for my wedding next fall, and these Naturalizer slingbacks are my answer. I have a pair of Naturalizer heeled sandals that I have worn for other weddings, and they are so comfortable. I wear them all night long and I don’t feel any pain!

Not to sound like Goldilocks, but sometimes I need something just right—in between a big tote and a tiny going-out bag. When I think of a brand worth investing in for timeless silhouettes and quality materials, Cuyana instantly comes to mind. The brand’s commitment to sustainability and ethical production makes every purchase feel intentional, and I know their pieces are made to last. I love the bucket bag shape because it’s roomy yet structured, and you can easily grab what you need. Tie a scarf around the handle, and it instantly looks chic and updated for any season.

I’ve been obsessed with all things personalized, and I love this mini beaded necklace to add a playful layer to my daily jewelry stack. Now I just need to narrow down which color!

I desperately need a new phone case, and so when we dropped this adorable pink and green striped case, I knew I needed to have it. It’s so fun and I cannot wait to have it dress up my phone.
— Kirra Wallace, Art Director
Over the past few months, I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect birthstone jewelry piece to add to my collection. I want something subtle and wearable for everyday, but still stunning. This Mejuri bracelet checks all my boxes and more. I love that I can stack it with my other bracelets, the birthstone element isn’t too overpowering, and it’s durable enough for everyday.

I came across this print while gift shopping for a friend, but decided I, too, needed one. I love the idea of going Ross Geller–style and laminating my favorite movies on my wall for an instant conversation starter (or fight) at holiday parties.
— Madigan Will, Assistant Editor
I love a quick jaunt down to the beach first thing in the morning before it gets crowded, and I think this waterproof standing bag would be perfect for keeping a few essentials in my car for weekend beach days.

Every time I see someone wearing this, I think it is the perfect top. It’s been on my wishlist forever, but for some reason, I just haven’t ordered it yet. I love the idea of having this in my capsule wardrobe to grab whenever I’m going out to dinner or grabbing drinks with the girls.

Picking out new sneakers always feels like I’m reinventing myself a little every time, so I can get super picky about finding a new go-to pair. I’ve been eyeing this brand for ages, and the holiday season feels like the perfect time to put it in an article and casually send it to my mom (Santa) as a gifting hint.
— Madigan Will, Assistant Editor

If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I’m a chronic over-packer. This cult-favorite carry-on folds into a pouch, making it perfect for bringing along on a trip for shopping. This print was a recent addition to the Baggu lineup, and it’s one of my favorites of all time.
