SPLURGE! 2025
These are so unbelievably chic, I can hardly handle it. I want one s0o0o0o bad, for my sunglasses or computer glasses. They’re just so “cool girl.”
Curlsmith Defrizzion Curl Reviving Wand
If you have a curly girl in your life, YOU NEED TO BE HER SANTA AND GET HER THIS INCREDIBLE TOOL. I have never nailed the “refresh” with my curls, and this wand makes it so simple. The results are insane, and she will be forever indebted to you if you gift her this. Throw in some of this heat serum while you’re at it!
It took me forever to cave to the Kindle, but once I did, I haven’t looked back. It makes reading anywhere in any lighting so easy, light, and enjoyable. This Colorsoft is their newest version and it’s gorg.
I own these, so I can attest that they’re worth it. I LOVE how you can wear them with or without the back strap, and they look so cute with all bottoms. I haven’t bought a pair of UGG boots since college, but these called for a resurrection.
Just like the Anthro one but for less money and still just as delicious (I would know because I own one of each!). It washes up great and you get more size for your buck from Amazon.
A microwave is just a microwave, right? WRONG. This Breville one is incredible. It heats more slowly so you’re not blasting your food with so much hellfire at once, I love the turn knob, you can turn off the sound (which we do), you can lock the door (which we don’t), and it’s just top-notch, top of the line stuff.
I have this and LOVE IT. It’s just a smidge bigger than your standard carry-on, but still fits all the size requirements so you can pack more and still throw it in the overhead bin. A really lovely gift for the traveler in your life!
I’ve never heard of this brand, but I gasped when I saw this bag. It’s just so unique and beautiful, yet fully functional. The “Date” color is especially gorgeous. The abstractly shaped handle is so damn cool, and it’s 100% leather. The real deal.
Speaking of bags that made me gasp, this is officially on my own personal Christmas list (ZAC, ARE YOU READING THIS?). I’M OBSESSED. It just seems like the perfect bag from the size to the shoulder strap to the crossbody strap to all the color variations. IDK why, the black and white checker is so appealing to me, but I need to think long and hard about what color would go the distance. I just absolutely fucking love this bag so hard.
Caraway Airtight Glass Container Set
I got sent this set as a gift and it’s absolutely what organized kitchen dreams are made of. It comes in 6 colors (I got the sage, obviously) and is such an upgrade from the typical plastic ones we all have from Target. If you have a baker or cook you’re buying for this year and feel like spending some money on them, this is the route to go. It’s available in both a 13-piece and 26-piece set.
Fun story: I tried this on back in the summer when my SIL was visiting and we went to the mall. I loved it and decided it was going to be my big Christmas wish item. But that same weekend she was visiting, I got pregnant so I’m having to hold off on this investment purchase until next season. Regardless, it’s SUCH A GOOD BLAZER. It’s a classic that will truly never go out of style and can be worn daily. Very true to size, too!
I love the daintyness of this gorgeous gold name ring by Catbird. It would make such a special gift. But don’t forget — if your recipient is more of a chunky, statement ring girlie, the Bauble Bar one I listed on the “For Her” guide is great, too!
Towels are kinda boring… but are they? I don’t know. When you reach adulthood, a great NEW towel is kind of everything. I bought these towels for us last year and they are s0o0o0o plush and lovely and yes, actually dry you off. You can even personalize them if you’re feeling fancy! They’re very high quality towels.
Having a printer at home is so underrated. When did we stop having home printers at the ready?! I had to get a new printer this year and decided on this exact one by Brother, and it’s marvelous. It only prints black and white, but that’s all I need (because of all the returns I do on a weekly basis). It’s efficient, connects to WiFi, and easy to use.
I treated our home to two of these last year once our kitchen renovation was complete, and THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. My sister and mom ended up getting them, too, because they came over and were amazed at the ease and chicness. Plus, they hold a charge FOR SO LONG. Seriously, for weeks on end. It’s awesome and they’re so aesthetically pleasing. Make someone’s life easier with a set!
