My Holiday Wishlist 2018

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Before I jump into my wishlist for the year, a quick note on my gift guide that will be posted on Friday. My Official Holiday Gift Guide will be going live at 5 AM so you can shop those Black Friday deals! I am going to try to update the post throughout the day as I get emails about new deals, let you know if items are out of stock and where you can find similar things, and more! I'm going to try my best, so hold me accountable! If you need more info about anything in that post, I'm almost always on my phone so DM me with any questions.

Now let's get on with it! There aren't too many things that I want for the holidays this year, and I'm starting to think of only practical things -- more socks! Work outfits! Next thing you know I'll be asking for a vacuum and a KitchenAid mixer ;) Even though I have so many practical gift requests, Santa always does a great job of surprising me with things I didn't even know I needed either. I can't wait to see what will be under the tree this year!

I also think it's fair to mention that some of the gifts I share in the graphic above couldn't be linked in this widget. First up is the beautiful children's book Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes. It's written by Eva Chen (she is a Hopkins alumna and was the EIC of Lucky Magazine, which was my favorite growing up!) and tells the story of a little girl who tries on different shoes of famous women throughout history. I might not be a child, but I would absolutely love to see this book under my tree! 

For years, I have needed a jewelry roll to carry my jewelry when traveling. Right now I'm using the not-so-effective method of Ziploc bags and I need a better solution. This one from Gorjana looks like it has just the right number of pockets and compartments. Another fun gift - not a 'need' item by any means - is the Tuckernuck wine tote that has two spots for a white and a red wine. It would be perfect to give as a hostess gift, or volunteer to bring the wine to all the potluck dinners this season and keep it for yourself!
