My Christmas Wish List (Plus My Team’s Christmas Wish Lists!)

christmas wishlist

One of my most popular posts every year is a list of what my team and I are asking for at Christmas. We’re all at different stages in life, so hopefully, these wish lists will help you build your own list or shop! 

 

I have four great girls on my team, and today they’re sharing their gift list for Christmas list inspiration! Sometimes it’s hard to decide what to ask for yourself during the holidays, so hopefully, these lists will help.

  • Mary is a mom of 4 – a college-aged oldest and an elementary school youngest. She lives by me in St. Louis!
  • Kristy is a mom of 4 – two teenage boys and two younger girls. She lives in Texas!
  • Laura has 3 little kids 6 and under.
  • Courtney has 2 little kids under 5, and is pregnant with her third.
  • Shelby is in her twenties and in college.

We are all at different stages with different wants and needs.

 

 

 

My Christmas Wishlist

  1. Red Light Therapy Mask. I have a cheap red light therapy mask that I bought a few years ago, and I like it, but it doesn’t have eye holes so I can’t wear it while I do other things. Plus it’s not very powerful, so I want one that is a little stronger. This one has great reviews!
  2. Diamond necklace. I keep seeing this necklace as an ad on instagram and I fell in love with it! It’s such a unique style, and it’s classy and special and a statement all at once. I love the 16″ length and the gold chain.
  3. Salad Spinner. I love kitchen gadgets, and this is one that I don’t have, but is absolutely a better system than laying your lettuce on paper towels and drying.
  4. Black tall boots. I bought brown riding boots last year, and as tall boots have made a major comeback this year, I’m wanting to add a pair of black tall boots to my closet!
  5. Cookie Sheets. I’ve had the same cookie sheets since we got married, I think, and it’s time to replace. I bake and cook a lot, so they’re definitely needing to be replaced, and Williams Sonoma is pricier, but such good quality that lasts for so long. Also I like the three set since sometimes I want a bigger or smaller size.
  6. Large floor mirror. I’ve wanted a big mirror like this for years, and there’s a place in our basement that would work really well.
  7. Packing Cubes. I have one packing cube that I use every time we travel, and I use it to store my shoes. I love it so much to keep them separate from the rest of my items, and would love a few more!
  8. Weighted Vest. I’ve heard so much about weighted vests this year, and how they’re great for women as they get older. I’m hoping to get the 8 lb vest, and use it for running.
  9. Glass Storage Containers. When we moved last year, we lost a few of our tupperware containers and now we have lots of mix and match pieces, so it’s time to get rid of all the old sets that don’t have lids, and get a new set!

 

Laura’s Christmas Wishlist

  1. Oversized Cable Knit Sweater. This fits my three style words perfectly – cool, classic and pretty. I know it’ll be a wardrobe staple for me!
  2. Metal Watch Band. I’m really, really trying to upgrade my style, and honestly an AppleWatch just feels dated and a little cheugy, just doesn’t feel like ME. But the convenience of the watch is too good to give up, so I’m hoping this band will make me feel a little more elevated.
  3. Steam Cleaner. Are you on cleantok like I am? I dream of having a steam cleaner to get in all those nooks and crannies (especially on the toilet – boy mom’s you get it!).
  4. Suede Bucket Bag. I’m transitioning out of the diaper bag phase of life, and want just a good, but elevated, everyday bag. This one is SO good and I love the deep rich brown color.
  5. New Balance N327 Sneakers. These are HANDS DOWN my favorite sneakers – I own them in two other colors. Comfy enough for walking around Disneyland, cool enough to wear every day.
  6. New Perfume. Part of my glow-up era is finding a good, every day scent. I’ve heard amazing things about DIME Perfume, so I bought their sampler set, and this was for sure the winner.
  7. Oval Sunglasses. I’ve been fighting off smaller sunglasses, but I think it’s finally time to release my death-grip on oversized sunglasses for something a little more elevated.
  8. Bezel Tennis Necklace. This is one of the prettiest necklaces I’ve ever seen, it’s so classic with a little twist to make it more of a statement piece.
  9. Electric Bread Knife. I make a lot of sourdough, and my basic bread knife isn’t cutting it anymore (pun intended ;)) so I’m ready to upgrade to some more power!

 

Kristy’s Christmas Wishlist

  1. LOLA Blanket I have been seeing these blankets all over and I just want to snuggle it. It looks so cozy and Merrick has me convinced I need this! Code MERRICK40 works for 40% off!
  2. Kindle Cover– Each year I love getting a new kindle cover.  These ones are so cute.
  3. Brooks 16 Ghost– I love walking.  It is really one of the most relaxing things I can do each day.  I need new walking shoes and have gotten these for the last few years and love them.
  4. Spanx Leggings– I got these last year and they are my new favorite workout leggings.  I love the fit, and they stay up when I’m walking which is a must.
  5. Madewell Handbag- This handbag is the new one I want this year.  I get myself a new bag each year and I think this is my new favorite style.
  6. Kindle Electric Reader– This electric page turner has been all over the internet and I think it would be great on a cold day when I just want to be snuggled and read!
  7. Weighted Vest– I am looking to improve my walking routine with this weighted vest.  More muscle in my old age is what I need! Ha!
  8. Foot Massager– Reading, snuggled up in a blanket and feet getting massaged! Sign me up!!
  9. Merit Perfume– I get a new perfume each year and after one smell of this one, I knew I had to have it!

 

Shelby’s Christmas Wishlist

  1. Apple Airpods 4– Between school, work, and running I wear my AirPods for hours everyday. I like this fit way better than the Airpod Pros, but have really wanted the noise canceling feature. When I saw this newer version has noise canceling and longer batter life, I had to add them to my list!
  2. Hair Crimper – I’ve been leaning into my hair’s naturally wavy look a lot more lately, but sometimes there’s still one or two pieces that are a little off and I can’t get quite the right shape with my curling wand. I’d love a crimper for those little touch ups!
  3. Gap Sweater – I’ve been obsessed with Gap’s sweaters this season. I already bought this one in black and it’s the cutest cozy fit. I find myself wanting to wear it multiple times a week, so I’d love it in either brown or pink (or honestly any of the colors they have!). It’s so soft, comfortable, and cute!
  4. DIME Perfume Sample Set– One of my fun goals for next year is to find a scent that I love. I’ve heard such good things about DIME, so I’d love to try this set and find my favorite scent!
  5. Everlane Jeans– I’m so sad because my favorite pair of jeans just got a hole in them and they don’t make them anymore! But I’ve been loving seeing all the ways Merrick has styled these jeans that look super similar similar so I’d love to get a pair for Christmas.
  6. Adidas Sneakers– I’m obsessed with my adidas sambas and wear them pretty much every day. I’d love a different color to mix it up a bit and these are so cute! This color is adorable too!
  7. Hand Warmers– This is a more niche ask, but I love hiking and going on walks even in the winter when it’s so cold. I used to have one of these hand warmers and it was so nice! I lost it this year and would love a new one. It’s a great gift idea for anyone on your list who loves the outdoors or walks to work/school.
  8. NYC Hat- I’ve had my eye on this hat for so long! It’s so cute and could be styled for more of a chic city look or a super casual running errands outfits.
  9. Pretty Book– I love reading and have loved starting to collect a few of my favorite books. These classics are gorgeous and I’d love to add one to my library.

 

Mary’s Christmas Wishlist

  1. Skylight Calendar – I saw this on Merrick’s kitchen counter months ago and immediately went and added it to my running “wishlist” that my husband has access to. With a large family, I need all the help I can get to organize everyone’s schedules. Love all the features of this calendar.
  2. Apple Airpods Pro 2 – I have the hardest time finding earbuds that fit into my ears.  I tried a pair recently that had the flexible tips on them and they surprisingly fit great!  I’ve always been happy with the sound quality with Apple Airpods, so I am excited to combine that with a good fit. I love to buy them through the apple store because they offer free personalized engraving too.
  3. Kindle Paperwhite – I know that I am way behind the curve, but I have never owned a kindle. My husband got his first one a few months ago, and I was so jealous on our last vacation when he had multiple books at his fingertips. I love this new version, that I can get it in my favorite color PINK, that the battery last for weeks, and I can change the lighting to amber colored to read in the dark and not have it hurt my eyes.
  4. Coach Leather Crossbody – I use my lululemon crossbody almost everyday.  It holds everything I need and is really convenient to keep my phone and my glucose monitor receiver nearby.  I wanted a dressier option, and I really like this.
  5. Ultra Mini Ugg Boots – I am always cold and tend to wear slippers inside most of the day during the winter.  I have a pair a slippers that don’t have a back on them and they are always slipping off my feet. My daughter showed these to me and I was obsessed!  Warm house shoes that I can slip on easily to wear to pilates and out to grab the mail? Yes, please!
  6. Strawberry Avocado Watch Band with Bow Charm – I have a couple of these Strawberry Avocado watch bands and they are fantastic!  The best quality I’ve tried and they are so cute. The charms are such a cute addition and this new bow one is perfect for the holidays and beyond.
  7. Wireless Meat Thermometer – I am the one who cooks all the meat in our house.  I do the grilling, the roasting, and want to learn how to smoke meats as well.  I love using a meat thermometer for cooking meat to perfection. I can’t wait to try a bluetooth version.
  8. Fingerless Yoga Gloves – I actually want to use these in my reformer pilates classes. Sometimes my hands get a little sweaty and I lose my grip.  I was excited to find these.  I think they’ll help me take my pilates game to the next level.
  9. Laneige Lip Balm – If you haven’t tried this yet, what are you waiting for?! This is the most luxurious lip balm I have ever used.  It makes my lips so soft and and the shine is perfect! I bought this for the first time a few months ago and I already need a new one.  I’ll have to be careful not to run out before Christmas because I don’t know what I’ll do without it.

 

Courtney’s Christmas Wishlist

  1. Amazon Essentials Puffer – I’m an Oregonian and as winter fast approaches I realized I’m in need of a good new jacket! I loved this one from Amazon, a great price point, I love the length, has a hood, and weather proof!
  2. Record Player – I’ve always thought it would be so fun and cozy to have a record player (especially during the holidays!) I though this one was so cute and nice because it could be folded and stored when not in use!
  3. Hydrojug – The BEST spill-proof water bottle that fits in your cup holder. I have the smaller version of this and ready to upgrade to the bigger size. I love love love it!
  4. Heating Pad – I’m expecting my 3rd baby and planning to use this postpartum (and really all the time!) My feet get so cold in the winter, I love having a heat pad at the end of my bed!!
  5. Lola Blanket – I’ve been seeing these ALL over the internet lately and I have to say I have been influenced haha. It just looks so ridiculously cozy and who doesn’t like to be ridiculously cozy?! Use MERRICK40 for 40% off!!
  6. Ugg Slipers – I can’t believe Uggs are back on my Christmas wishlist this year, but these are the cutest color I’ve ever seen! Love an easy and sturdy pair of slippers and these seem like they’d be the perfect fit!
  7. Glass Cutting Boards – Not only are these practical, but so pretty! I’m tired of our mismatched bright plastic cutting boards and think these would be such a lovely (and better for you!) upgrade!
  8. Walking Pad – I’ve been wanting a walking pad for awhile! I think it would be so convenient for short walks between kids naps/work/and any spare minute. Love how easy it feels and the price is honestly so doable!
  9. OOFOS – I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW MUCH EVERY NEEDS THESE!! I’ve had a pair for a few months and they have CHANGED ME. They are the most most comfortable slide I’ve ever tried. Need a second pair for indoor/outdoor!

I hope this is helpful as you put together your Christmas wishlists!

    What is a temple bag? A nice bag to take to temple or does it have to do something special with special compartments?

  4. Tammy Anderson says:

    I wanted a new temple bag this year too! I bought this one a couple of weeks ago. I like the way it looks and it’s definitely an upgrade from what I had before.
