Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a big birthday person. What's not to love about getting dressed up to celebrate with my friends, blowing out candles on my favorite dessert, and unwrapping gifts? With my birthday exactly one week away, I've already curated my wish list full of fashion, beauty, and home things I'd love to receive this year. Capricorns are known for being organized, after all, so don't come for me. I'll admit some items are more realistic than others, but that's part of the fun. And some of these 30 items are so good I'll be buying them for myself and as gifts for my friends, too.
