There are sometimes I think holiday shopping for women is so easy; all you have to do is pay a little attention to detail. We love a little trinket, a little cutesy thing, etc. We like getting gifted things we would’ve bought ourselves anyway, and we love a little field trip.

After the drama of this year, I just want a few of the little things. My wishlist covers the basics (something I want, something I need, something to wear, something to read). Still throwing in a hydrofacial and prep for our next trip in February.

TBR
Feel the Bern: A Bernie Sanders Mystery
Girl Dinner by Olivie Blake
Having People Over by Chelsea Fagan
I love following Chelsea Fagan on TikTok and loved her series on Having People Over. I went to the Atlanta book signing and it’s the cutest gift book. Make it a full gift basket with a great spirit and cocktail mixer, a pack of fancy butter, flowers, Maldon sea salt, or maybe a set of napkins.  

Amazon Kindle
I think it’s finally time to upgrade. I have a very old iPad mini that is now a paperweight, and have since been reading eBooks from my iPhone. I always go back and forth on whether I NEED an eBook reader, but I think it’s for the best. It’s on sale and it’s green!

Thursday Penny Platform
I don’t know if anything could compare to my Steve Madden Platform loafers from high school, but these could be close.

Quince Cashmere Fisherman’s Crewneck
I bought a few sweaters from Quince last year and I was beyond pleased. I completely wore out the cashmere fisherman’s sweater. So congratulations, it is now my go-to gift for the year. I also love the Cashmere boatneck sweater.  

Things I Bought and Liked: Refills
NIDA Retinol Revive cream
Bloom Supergreens gummies
Nuxe Body Oil
Typology Tinted Serum
I’ve now gone through multiple bottles of each of these, so they are always welcome in the rotation.

Stocking Stuffers
Yes, technically all toiletries count as stocking stuffers along with any gift cards. But don’t forget to stay a bit playful:

Any candle that smells like a Christmas tree
Tajin Gummy bears
Glitter Freckles
Running Socks
Anything from Fishwife, bonus if you find their caviar
