Even shopping editors make holiday wish lists. So while we’ve been finding all the best gifts for you to give, we’ve also been adding to ours. These are the things we’re dying to receive this year, and we’re hoping it’ll give you (and our moms) a little inspiration.
An everyday tote at the top of our wish list…
“I’ve been eyeing this Alex Mill tote forever. It’s an item that actually looks like it might be worth the price — from the 100% cotton canvas that’ll get better with age to the just-right size. It’s nice that it has an interior zip pocket and double straps, so you can choose how to carry it. My biggest problem will be choosing what color to get.”—Martha Upton
A phone case that says it all…
“I’ve been trying to add as much whimsy as possible into my life. So when I saw this hot pink rhinestone phone case with a little attitude, I thought, ‘You know what? Sure.’ I’m a fan of this brand, and I’ve heard their phone cases are cute, yet actually protective. It’s a good reason to make ‘so what?’ my mantra for 2027.” —Martha Upton
The Parachute towels we can’t stop thinking about…
“I’m fairly certain I first saw these towels on Pinterest, and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since. The retro pattern is so pleasing to me, and it makes them more absorbent than most towels. They’re made of organic cotton, and I love the idea of mixing and matching the different colorways.” —Martha Upton
A new set of Icon Juice Glasses…
“Whenever a gifting moment rolls around, I ask for more Icon Juice Glasses. They’re so large and sturdy, I absolutely love them. I use them for iced coffee, iced tea — any of my treat drinks that provide some joy on the daily. The festive-themed ones are adorable of course, so I plan to get either the snowman or snowflake designs.” —Alexandra Napoli
A new pair of Aligns…
“I held out on trying Lululemon’s Align leggings for the longest time — I was actually staunchly against buying a pair. But then I finally caved and tried them, and unfortunately have never looked back. They’re so comfortable, truly a second-skin feel that feels great whether I’m working from home, running errands, commuting, or working out. I bought a few capri-length styles for the summer, so now I’m asking for the longer version (with pockets) for winter workouts.” —Alexandra Napoli
The chicest coasters we’ve ever seen…
“I did indeed buy these spiral Sophie Lou Jacobsen coasters for myself as a treat. I feel like it’s hard to come across genuinely cool coasters, so the moment I saw this set of nickel-plated ones, I knew I couldn’t pass them up. They’re a subtle way to add some whimsy to your space (without injecting a bright color).” —Margo Ghertner
The everyday bag that has been sitting in our editor’s cart for months now…

A mixed metal ring that looks effortless…
“One of these days, I’m going to invest in a Spinelli Kilcollin ring. Until that day comes, this similar, more affordable option from Ana Luisa will tide me over. The mixed metals are edgy without trying too hard, and the diamond detail elevates the whole aesthetic. This is obviously a statement piece, but I think it would look extremely cool with a whole handful of rings like the model is wearing.” —Caroline Goldstein
A beaded bag we can’t stop drooling over…
“I’ve had my eye on Staud’s beaded bags for what feels like forever. They’re colorful and eye-catching, but definitely on the pricier side. I’ve tried a few dupes here and there, but it’s hard to compete with Staud’s impeccable craftsmanship and vibrant beadwork. I’d love to wear this bag out during the colder months when the rest of my wardrobe is mostly black.” —Alessandra Rey
