This is the first year that I haven’t had an exhaustive Christmas list of things I need or want. I have been incredibly blessed this year!! Throughout this year, I have basically bought myself what I needed or wanted so it has been difficult to come up with things to as “Santa” for. So, I am putting together a list of things that I bought myself for Christmas, my family bought me, or things that I would like to receive as a gift. Hopefully you will find something you like here or get some inspiration for the 20-something lady in your life!
MacBook Pro computer
I bought this for myself because I have had my first MacBook Pro since I was a freshman in college. She still works just fine, excluding the abysmal battery life and storage, but I know that I’ll need a new one soon for school and work projects (ie: this website) and I want it to function a little bit better. I have been dabbling with iMovie and my current computer really can’t handle it too well anymore.
iPad
I was going to buy this for myself to use during school for note-taking. But, Santa, aka my parents, snagged it for me on Black Friday. I am honestly so thankful because they can be really expensive and I really need it! This is a great gift for students or people who are into creating content! I am really excited to use apps to create graphics for this website or edit photos and videos on it!
Carhartt Sweatshirt
If you know about a Carhartt sweatshirt, I don’t need to say more. But if you don’t know, they are the coziest and warmest sweatshirts for lounging around! Since I work from home, I tend to do a lot of that haha. But seriously, they are so warm and cozy but can also withstand things like bonfires, four wheeler rides, or whatever else you find yourself doing in the winter. This is truly one of my favorite gifts!
Facial Steamer
I feel like this is the missing step in my skincare routine. I think it would be so relaxing to just sit in front of a steamer and clean out my pores every now and then! They are also so aesthetically pleasing and cute for the bathroom counter! This is something I really hope to purchase in the near future!
A Nice Planner
I am truly a sucker for office supplies. Having a planner is essential to my mental health and organization because it becomes a running to do list that keeps my life on track. That being said, my neighbors actually got me the best planner I have ever seen! It’s called a START planner and I am truly so excited to use it! It has goal setting, vision boards, budgets, etc so that you can keep your whole life on track right there. Seriously, look into it.
Gift Cards/Gas Cards
As I have gotten older, people have said it is harder and harder to buy for me and my cousins because they don’t know what we want. They do know what stores and restaurants we like, but not specifically what to get us. So, I think gift cards are a great way to go. I know I really enjoy receiving them because I can pick out what I want without having to “pay” for it! Same thing goes for gas cards. With as much traveling on the road as I do, gas cards would literally be a godsend. Gas is something I truly despise paying for so this would be an awesome gift to get!
Heated Blanket
Lastly, I just got a heated blanket and I honestly am mad at myself for not getting one sooner. This is the best game changer I have seen. I am literally using it right now. I love having it at my desk so I can be warm while I work. Nothing makes it harder than to work while you’re shivering. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have this. I think this is one of the best gifts ever!
