Holiday Present Wish List: 10 Ideas for the Season

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Maryland chapter.

The holidays are filled with the sweet sounds of carols, the fresh scent of Christmas trees, the just-out-of-the-oven smell of cookies and the same constant question from friends and family- “What do you want for the holidays?” The gift-giving season is upon us! And while one of the best parts about the holidays is giving presents to others, everyone has a secret guilty pleasure in putting together their own wish list. Here are items every girl should have on their lists this December:

1.     A purse or clutch: Every good outfit needs one! You cannot go wrong with this classic. Try a cross-body shoulder bag to go with every holiday party outfit this season!

2.     An oversized watch: Perfect for dressing up or down and in a variety of colors. Fossil has a great selection in every color imaginable.

3.     Riding boots: They are a timeless wardrobe staple and you can never have too many of them!

4.     I-phone accessories: It seems like half the world has one! Try the Michael Kors i-phone wristlet in python. It’s sleek, stylish and can match almost any item in your wardrobe.

5.     Perfume: You cannot go through an entire wish list without having one of the season’s new perfumes. Try Marc Jacobs O0h-La-La, Coach Poppy or even Justin Bieber’s Someday, which benefits The Make-A-Wish Foundation and Pencils of Promise organization.

6.     Girls Day: Ask for a gift card for a facial or massage at your favorite salon or spa to get through the long winter months. Your dry and dehydrated winter skin will thank you!

7.     Mani-Pedi’s: More self-pampering- Ask to treat yourself to a day at the nail salon and get the full manicure and pedicure treatments. Nothing gives you a pick me up during the winter blues like perfectly polished nails.

8.     Concert tickets: With a great line-up for the summer, it’s never too early to start thinking about who you want to see!

9.     Michael Buble’s Christmas album: It is simply heaven to your ears. Listen to it immediately.

10.  Jewelry: Whether it’s a Tiffany’s necklace, a Tori Burch charm bracelet or even just a pair of earrings, the holidays are the perfect time to put that piece of jewelry you have been eyeing all year on your list!
With these ten items, you are bound to love your gifts that you give and get this holiday season!
