BLOG ENTRY 021: Christmas Wishlist

Now that December is here, and my birthday has passed, Christmas is around the corner! I love seeing others post on social media what they are asking for this year. For the first year on this blog, I’m making a wish list! There are some things that I definitely need like a toothbrush and a pill case but there’s more to the list than that lol. This year I’m asking for things that I can use in my daily routine. I will link everything I mention in this post in case you want to add these products to your own list but if you don’t, happy window shopping!

Humidifier

I got one a while back from Target, but it was a small and cheap one that didn’t run for long #ripdawg. The one prior to that one was disgusting so having a bigger one will definitely help in the drier months!

Face Towels

I’ve seen a bunch of girls on TikTok marketing these and I believe that these are way better for you than normal hand towels. They’re disposable and I hope that these improve my skin in the long run!

Sol De Janerio Perfume

I LOVE the 71 sent they have; I love it so much that I’m running low. I want to try the 62 which is salted caramel and pistachio. I have the viral car freshener from TikTok shop and like it! Their perfume is affordable which is one of my favorite things about this brand!

Lanige Lip Mask

I have so many chapsticks that it’s not even funny, but this lip mask would be used for my nightly routine. I always put some chapstick on before going to bed and having a designated one would be helpful instead of trying to choose one.

Skincare Headband

These are also called grwm headbands because so many girls use them for that reason. I have bangs so it’s frustrating trying to pull back my hair while doing my skincare or putting on makeup. The ones I linked also have wristlets so water doesn’t run all over your arms which I find to be a need.

Chunky Gold Hoops

Every girl needs one pair in their life & unfortunately, I don’t.

Phone Tripod

The Alex Earle light is viral for its versatility in videos so this one I linked has a light, but the real reason for this on my list is because I have a tripod, but I accidentally washed the remote in the wash so #ripdawg. A tripod that can move more for overhead shots for the aesthetic coffee pictures and videos is a must when my hands are full!

Silicone Phone mini Suction Cup Mat

This is helpful as a creator to stick my phone to a mirror or a wall? I don’t know I don’t own one yet. I plan on buying a phone case just so I can put one of these on there.

Gold Bracelet Set

I have this white beaded bracelet I got years ago from American Eagle that has been THROUGH IT. Having a set is a must because I will lose one or accidently wear one in the shower, I pray that they don’t run away from me.

Laptop Sleeve

Having a sleeve for my laptop is probably safer than sliding it in the pocket of my backpack. I carry my laptop with me to coffee shops while I write the blog entries and cranking out schoolwork. No more winging for safety, a puffy sleeve will save my life!

Single, Dating, Engaged, Married by Ben Stewart

Firstly, I am not related to him, but his book has been on my TBR for a few years now and I have seen a few TikToks of how some readers have gotten into relationships while reading this book. I did write about singleness here a while ago and I think this book will help me gain wisdom for these seasons that so many people go through. I’ve heard so many good things about this book so I’m excited to read this book!

Record Player Needles

This recently came to my intention while I was playing one of my records. At first, I thought it was the record so I cleaned it but it was still crackling. I don’t have any extra needles so this one is a definite need, you should be changing them but I haven’t. This Christmas, the problem will be solved!

Merch

LANY is one of my favorite bands & they released ‘a beautiful blur’ this year so this sweatshirt is an item I know that I will wear to filth.

The Band Camino is also another favorite of mine and they also released an album, ‘the dark’ and this shirt will be a staple in my wardrobe.

NIGHT TRAVLER is a band my sister actually showed me last year and fell in love with their music. They didn’t release a new project this year but they’re promising for one next year so until then, I will ask for Dreams you don’t forget on vinyl, and it’s a clear pressing!

Lululemon Dual Pouch Wristlet

I would probably use this more than the everywhere belt bag because everything I need will be on a keychain. This is super helpful to put cash in one pouch and my cards in the other. it gets the job done.

I sent this list to my family with the products from Amazon and we shall see what I get this year! Honestly, I’m so grateful for what I have, and my twin sister SPOILED me on our birthday and I’m excited to see what my family thought of getting for me that I didn’t even link here. I plan on posting a haul of some sort on TikTok @khalie.stewart and post a few of the items on the Instagram for this blog so if you don’t follow it, make sure to chat with me there and we can chat about what we all got this year! I also wanted this entry to be fun and laid-back than what I normally write here and trust me- a Christmas entry will be here before you know it!

Until next week!

Keep Pouring,
