(Almost) 24 things on my 2024 Christmas wishlist
Thursday, November 21, 2024It’s weird that over the years it’s gotten harder and harder to actually create wishlists. I want less stuff, and I have a lot already, so I try to figure out what I really want or will find use out of. I was hoping to list 24 for things for 2024, but I just couldn’t do it, even throwing in some possible stocking stuffers.
A lot of my life really revolves around baby and being a mom. A TushBaby would provide some back and should comfort by reducing strain from toting baby O around, but would be easier than a full carrier if I’m needing to pick her up and put her back down often. There are lots of cute colors (I love the velvety look of orchid), but a neutral option is best for both me or A to wear. I’m also absolutely interested in literally any outfits, accessories, or shoes that will give *twin vibes* because this little girl is my mini me.
Another practical gift would be another organizer for the car that could hold diapers, a change of outfits, etc. Basically a space for a kind of sit it and forget it emergency kit for different scenarios. One of these covers for the trunk space in my car would also be ideal to keep things more private and possibly safer? It’s so weird my car didn’t come with one pre-installed.
Two items that are baby-adjacent but also home goods? A dish drying mat (the pump parts and the bottles and the sippy cups, oh my!) and a memory foam bath mat (this would do wonders for my knees during bathtime).
There are a few more home goods that are not necessarily related to #momlife, but that would be nice organizationally and/or for comfort. We have this sheet set that we love, and it’d be nice to have it in another color (I love the sage green!). I’d also love an under the sink organizer for the kitchen and this shelf that sits on top of the stove for easier access to things like spices. How cool that something like this exists. I’ve also noticed that as I’m getting older, I swear utensils have gotten weirder. Like, there’s not a matching set of anything, and where do all the forks go? I do love this black silverware set that looks very sleek and nice. Lastly, what I would give for a nice hall tree to have a place for my bags and shoes other than the dining room table!
And I wouldn’t be me without wanting some clothing, shoes, and accessories. Y’all, I really need some need Ugg slippers. Mine are on their last leg, and they don’t have that same style and color so I’ll have to opt for a different option, but these are quite cute. I’m also kind of obsessed with Adidas Samba and Gazelle sneakers. They’re really similar, but I really like the style and the fun colorways that exist (there are also toddler versions, but in less cute colors, oddly).
I love these two-piece sets from Dressed in Lala. A bought me a set last year for Christmas and I wear it so much, both as a set and mix/match, so I’ve definitely gotten his money’s worth.
And I’m not a big jewelry girl, but I do love minimalistic pieces. I’d love some flatback diamond earrings for my cartilage piercings. I’ve had the holes for so long but the regular backed earrings and often bother me, especially sleeping on that side, so I’d love the flatback options. I’d also really love a tennis bracelet (which is kind of an unrealistic ask), and a ring with a stone made out of my breastmilk. I know it sounds weird, but the jewelry is beautiful and I’ve spent so much time and work pumping, so it only feels right to commemorate this really cool thing my body has done.
Other, smaller items that may be nice little stocking stuffers could be things like dry shampoo, Baby Foot foot peel, hair scrunchies or clips to pull my hair up in the back, or boot socks (my favorite, so cozy).
I’ll also never turn down gift cards for places like Framebridge (custom framed items), Old Navy, or Target.
What’s on your Christmas list this year?
