My Birthday Wish List

Hey friends! 

I don’t know about you, but I still make birthday lists every year. My parents and husband might be the only people who usually see it, and I might get nothing from it, but I still have a ton of fun making the list (and honestly, my mom usually is sweet enough to splurge on a few things from it!). 

You may need some gifty ideas for yourself or a friend, so I decided to share my list with you this year! My birthday is August 11th, which is quickly approaching, so I feel like I have a pretty great list and can’t wait to see what my last birthday before I have a baby brings me. 

Lifestyle Wish List: 

1. Madewell Traveler Tote in English Saddle: I would LOVE this bag. It has been on my list for a couple of years now, switching from birthday to Christmas list and back again. I’d want it monogrammed with their gold monogramming. So beautiful. 

2. Fouta Towels: these towels are made of Egyptian cotton. I’ve been drawn to these “Middle Eastern style” towels for a few years now, loving how they look when I see bloggers traveling to beachside locations with them. I want the Seafoam and the Rose colors (1-2 of each). You can use them as a towel, beach towel, blanket, or throw, and I just love that!

3. K. Hall Designs candle in Milk: I smelled this candle the last time my mom and I were shopping and loved it. It’s subtle and sweet, like sweetened condensed milk. Totally my kind of candle. 

4. Jo Malone fragrance in Fig and Cassis: I’ve been dying to smell Jo Malone scents after staring at them online for years. I finally found them in a Lord & Taylor and fell in love. I knew this Fig and Cassis one was made for me! Plus, when you order online you get a couple sample-sized ones to try (which are great for traveling!), and I’d love the Blackberry and Bay and the Nutmeg and Ginger scents for my samples. Doesn’t get much better than feeling like you smell amazing. 

5. S’well Bottle in Blonde Wood: My boss has probably 4 of these bottles and swears by them. I’ve seen her take hot tea to work in the morning, and come home and dump still-hot tea out of the bottle in the evening. They truly keep your drink at whatever temperature you put it in there (hot or cold!). I LOVE this pattern and definitely can see myself carrying this one around. 

6. Glenna Cake Stand (small): It’s not a birthday list unless Anthropologie makes an appearance. I’ve been in love with the Glenna collection for years now and plan on completely replacing all of my dinnerware with it. But until then, I want the small cake stand! I adore a good cake stand. 

 

Active Life Wish List: 

1. La Vie Boheme yoga mat in Marseille White: I’ve been stalking LVB on Instagram for awhile now and can’t stand how gorgeous all of their mats are (and that I don’t have one). This one has been on my mental list and I MUST own it. How gorgeous is this?!

2. Blooming Lotus Jewelry mala in Balance and Harmony: I’m revealing a very personal side by showing you the malas I want. I’ve been wanting a mala now for a bit, and I have it narrowed to two I love. I love the symbolism of a mala and the centering, calming thought behind them. And because I truly love yoga and feel like it helps me get through my day and week, I feel like a mala isn’t something I’ll just toss aside. The meaning behind the stones in this one really rings true to me. 

3. Tiny Devotions mala in Mama Mala: This is the other mala I’d love. I love the colors and strength it promotes. As a soon-to-be-mama, I love the message behind it. 

4. Frends headphones in Rose Gold: Ok, I would NEVER take these to the gym. But I would use them at home while I’m working from my computer (or at work when I’m using my computer). The colors are so ME and I just die over how sharp and gorgeous they are. MUST have. 

 

And that’s my list! Just 10 items, but still some pretty amazingly fun things and all so pretty. 

Note: This is not a sponsored post, I’m not paid by any of these companies, and all opinions are my own. This truly is just a wish list I compiled.
