Don’t know what to ask for this Christmas? We can feel you, baby — the stress of holiday shopping is overwhelming, even when it comes to choosing something for yourself! Finding the best gifts to get everyone on your list is daunting enough, but you realize you have to figure out what you want too? Cue the panic, cue the ~ dramz ~.
Now, let’s have a heart to heart: As you get older, the best gifts often end up being the most practical. I mean, who doesn’t love a good kitchen appliance while on vacation? Of course, you can’t wear a fancy blender per se, but you can make the best smoothies on the block. So, when writing your Christmas 2021 wishlist, try to identify big-ticket items that you had your eye on but couldn’t get hold of. Now is the time to ask for them!
Of course, not everything you ask for this holiday season has a specific purpose and is not ~ useful ~. What fun would that be? Make room for a few indulgences and luxuries that inspire you far beyond Christmas and New Years, like your favorite perfume or jewelry handmade by local artisans. Below, we’ve rounded up some must-have gifts to ask for this year so you can complete your holiday wishlist and focus on another stressor of the season – wrapping and sending the gifts! *deep breathing*
