‘Tis the season of holiday cheer! With the holidays fast approaching, you may want to expand that wishlist of yours! If you’re anything like me and never know what to ask for, here are some of my last-minute go-to’s to add to your list.

Makeup/Skincare

Take a look in your makeup bag and see what you need! From Rare Beauty blush to Summer Fridays lip gloss, there are so many great products to ask for this year. If makeup isn’t your thing, add some of those skincare products you’ve had your eye on! La Roche Posay and The Ordinary are some hot brands this year, and even adding some cute headbands to hold your hair back while you get ready is a great item to put on there. Ulta and Sephora are great websites to search for your new favorite product.

Phone Cases

There are so many cute cases out there, you’re bound to find one you love! Target, Wildflower, Amazon, and more all have amazing options in any price range, so find one you love and add it to that list!

Pajama Sets

Who doesn’t love a good and comfy PJ set? I always find myself lacking pajamas, so this is a go-to item for me. You can find some cute sets at places such as Old Navy, Gap, Aerie, and many more. There are so many cozy options out there, you’re bound to find one you’ll want to wish for.

Jellycats

Add a cute little friend to your wishlist this year! Go check out the Jellycat website and scroll until you find your new snuggle friend. I personally have the Amuseable Deviled Egg one, but with so many options, I had to add a few more to my list this year!

Hair Accessories

Just think of all the cute options out there. Claw clips, bows, headbands, and much more! You could add endless amounts of these items to your list, and they’re decently inexpensive if you’re looking for some wallet-friendly asks. Browse really any website to find what you’re looking for – I have found some cute options at Target, Urban Outfitters, and Amazon!

Gift Cards

When in doubt, gift cards are always a great wishlist item! My advice for gift cards is to ask for one place you want things from, along with a place you need things from. Think of places you always go to for a need – Target, Walmart, Trader Joe’s – all of which have gift cards! For places you want, check out Dutch Bros, Amazon, and whatever your favorite clothing store is!

I hope you have a fun and safe holiday season, Wildcats! Happy wishing!
