My love language is gifts. This doesn't surprise me, as I genuinely enjoy giving thoughtful presents to my family and friends to express that I'm thinking of them—after all, actions, in the form of gifts, can speak louder than words. However, when it comes to receiving gifts for myself, it's a bit tricky for anyone to give me anything because if there’s something I really want, I’ll just get it myself. I have no guilt or shame for this holiday, though; I want too many things, so whittling it down to 15 items in this wishlist was tough! But I’m excited to share my random yet eclectic holiday wishlist, which includes many lust-worthy items that I think you’ll also want, especially if you’re looking for luxurious upgrades for your closet, pet, or home.
Triomphe 51mm Square Reading Glasses
I stopped by Selima Optique in Soho a few weeks ago after spotting this pair of Celine eyeglasses in the window display. Even though I already own a few pairs of trusty Warby Parker glasses, I’ve always wanted a pair of fancier fashion frames, but I never wanted to pay the high price. Yet, after trying them on, they’ve lingered in my mind ever since. I may have to pull the trigger on these because the uniquely shaped frames with their signature Triomphe emblem on the sides elevated my entire face and outfit.
Oracle + Ceremonial magic Ritual Kit
I’ve been a follower of Anima Mundi for many years, and one of my hobbies is learning about healing herbs, tonics, rituals, and astrology. This Oracle and ceremonial magic kit has everything I need to do an energy cleanse at home. It has an herbal astrology deck, dream elixir, palo santo, and other items to invoke the power of your inner oracle.
Angelle Dress
I am always searching for a great sweater dress, and this one by Saylor checks off all the boxes. It has a cozy turtleneck and a few design elements, such as the fringe detail and high slit, that makes this piece very versatile. One of my go-to looks during winter is a longer sweater dress with knee-high boots for a polished but comfortable outfit. If it came in other colors, I would buy one of each.
Delina Collection
For the Coveteur newsletter, I wrote about my obsession with Parfums de Marly Delina Exclusif. It is the most mesmerizing niche scent I wish I could spray daily, even to walk my dog outside. I would bathe in this scent. One 75 ml bottle of Delina is $375, and in this coffret, you get three 30 ml bottles, so you’re essentially saving money… girl math.
Out-of-Office pet carrier
I have yet to take my dog on a plane ride, and I know when that day comes, I will make sure she gets the sturdiest and highest quality pet carrier. Some of the ones I’ve seen look flimsy, and I think if you put your precious pup in a carrier, it should at least be in one that is roomy and sturdy. This Roverlund pet carrier is stylish and has a durable and strong structure with plenty of mesh, which will put my mind at ease when we go on our next trip together.
Kody Puffer Jacket
My incredibly stylish friend Micaela, the Head of Editorial at J. McLaughlin, introduced me to this brand. Over the past few years, I’ve mostly only worn their outerwear and winter accessories. I love everything about this jacket–it has deep pockets, wide sleeves so you can comfortably layer underneath, and a flattering silhouette that will work with so many outfits.
The Globe Trotter
My close friends tease me for being "extra" about my dog, Lucy. Since getting her almost two years ago, I've consistently sought stylish and adorable accessories because she deserves the best! However, I was left speechless when I stumbled upon the brand Pagerie and saw their ultra-luxe harnesses and leashes. While she already owns a collection of cute mesh and fleece harnesses, adding this stunning leather harness with a matching leash would take her wardrobe to the next level.
The Ferrante Loop Studs
I love language, modern jewelry, and women-owned businesses: enter Sayre Studio. Designed and curated by novelist and poet Lauren Ross, each piece in the brand's capsule collection L'ecriture feminine is inspired by female authors, including Jane Austen, Alice Walker, and Sally Rooney. From this collection, the first item on my wish list are these classic gold Ferrante loop earrings I plan to wear daily.
Courtly Check 2 Quart Tea Kettle
Many years ago, I visited the iconic MacKenzie-Childs headquarters in Aurora, New York, and fell in love with the Courtly Check print. The classic print has a touch of whimsy and personality, and since my kitchen design is quite dull, this adorable tea kettle will give my stove a design boost.
Hestan CopperBond Ultimate 10-Piece Set
I hope to upgrade my cookware to a stunning Hestan copper set one day. This 10-piece set is all you need for all of your cooking needs. Currently, I make do with a random assortment of pots and pans that get the job done. However, owning a luxurious cookware set like this will allow me to enjoy cooking and learning new recipes.
Navy Blue Crocodile Embossed Leather Foldable Slipper with Eco-Fur
Whenever I travel, I always bring a pair of slides, but they’re so bulky and take up space in my carry-on. When I saw these foldable high-quality leather slippers, I couldn’t believe they could fold up and take up such little space. They’re so chic, too, because most foldable flats I’ve seen are practical but not stylish.
12 Days of Caviar
My love for caviar and tinned fish runs deep, and when I discovered that The Caviar Co. has an advent calendar for caviar and roe, I got so excited. It is such a brilliant idea; it has drawers of various 1 oz. tins of caviar and roe (perfect for two to enjoy), mother-of-pearl spoons, a tin key, and an exclusive recipe book.
Liaisons Dangereuses, Typical Me Eau de Parfum
I thought I would gatekeep this perfume forever, but it’s too good not to share. I have treasured my first bottle of Liaisons Dangereuses, and it has officially run out. I am ready for my second bottle. This is definitely a heavier, sensual scent with powerful notes of plum, rose, and vanilla. I wear this perfume for special occasions or long nights out, and it lasts for hours!
Versa 16 Outdoor Pizza Oven
Pizza is my favorite food, and since I primarily eat gluten-free, I’ve been trying to make and perfect a gluten-free pizza dough that actually tastes good. This perfectly sized outdoor pizza oven by Halo is on my wishlist because I would love to make pizza in my home and eat my gluten-free pizza creations in peace.
Super Anti-Aging 180 LED Mask
I own several LED face masks, but this one by Angela Caglia is one of the best on the market and is high on my wishlist. It is FDA-cleared, and this mask has the most LED lights of any flexible medical-grade silicone mask, which excites me. I love doing spa nights at home, and with this portable design, I’ll probably use this device every day.
Love Letter Pendant
This is not your ordinary initial pendant. I have been eyeing Samantha Knight’s carefully curated jewelry line, particularly this incredible 14K gold custom love letter pendant, for a while now. I think it’s the missing piece to my current charm necklace.
