It's Self-Care Season—27 Gifts I'm Giving Myself After a Long Year
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Not to be dramatic, but this year has been a lot. From elections to moving houses to welcoming a new puppy (who I love dearly, but might as well be a tornado), let's just say I've earned a little me time. And what better way to recharge than with a little retail therapy? My online shopping cart is practically overflowing with things I've been eyeing all year—luxury beauty products from Chanel, ridiculously cozy blankets to curl up with on cold nights, and, of course, fashion finds I can't resist (Bags! Shoes! Sweaters!). There's something about treating yourself that feels extra special during the holidays—it's like wrapping up the year in a bow. So yes, I'm fully leaning into self-gifting mode because I deserve it, and honestly? You do, too. Keep scrolling to see the pieces I'm about to splurge on—consider it your permission to do the same.
Like I mentioned, I recently got a new puppy… so expensive eye cream is a must. Anyone else who has a puppy gets it.
Once I tried luxury bath towels, I never went back. My favorites are always from Cozy Earth.
I got Chanel's Rouge Allure Liquid Velvet a few Christmases ago and haven't stopped buying it since. I have it in every shade.
I've been eyeing this bezel diamond bracelet for months and months. Can you blame me?
Lately, I've been upping my belt game, and this Bottega one is the ultimate buy.
I have this in black, but I definitely need it in gray. It's that good.
I've been looking for a new signature fragrance, and so many people have recommended Coco Mademoiselle.
Not only does this blanket go beautifully with my home aesthetic, but it's also so soft. A win-win.
Not a day goes by that I don't think about this bag.
I've decided that 2025 is the year I'm going to start running. Hopefully, these shoes will help me start.
I'm positive that a Dairy Boy oversize sweatshirt would just cure everything.
I have so many weddings coming up next year and I'm already looking for unique dresses to wear.
No, I can't get over this collab between Madewell and one of my favorite jewelry brands, Agmes. Thanks for asking.
