Team CUR's WISHLIST (+ what's on YOURS!)

You’ve made the list, you’ve checked it twice…chances are, in considering everyone else and their mother, you forgot yourself! If you, too, are in need of some gifting inspo for your personal wishlist, consider stealing ours. 😉

ERICA:

Shark Flexstyle – Do I need another hair styling tool? Sure don’t. But am I dying to try this Dyson Airwrap alternative that’s *half* the price? You betcha.
Hand massager – As a pianist AND writer, I think I deserve this. 😉 But really, sometimes I get manicures at the salon JUST for the hand massage.
1st editions of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame – I flew through both books on my Kindle (which is a *stellar* gift idea in my humble opinion – one of the most-used gifts I’ve ever received!), but loveloveloved so much I hope to have the hard copy collection of the entire series.
– I’ve become the world’s biggest lip oil fan lately…they’ve just been so much more moisturizing for quick daytime application and give the perfect sheen, even on no makeup days. This one is pricier but apparently worth the splurge – Santa, take notes!
– Such a pretty personalized piece in classic AND statement colors…I’m torn on which to choose!
Gold ball studs –(14K gold, 8 mm) – I have a smaller pair of these that I wear near-daily, so I’d lovelovelove the biggest option for more of a statement! They’re made SO well and last with zero tarnishing or discoloration and are safe for sensitive ears.
Paragon fitwear – I am a HUGE fan of Paragon Fitwear…honestly, I like their pieces more than Lululemon a lot of the time, and they’re a FRACTION of the cost. They’re made well, lightweight and buttery soft without collecting fuzz or pilling like Lulus – and their new Sculpt lines make your butt look GREAT. Plus, code ERICAL10 will take an extra 10% off your order! Yay!
New luggage – Christmas is basically the perfect time for a new suitcase set, especially with how many go on sale for Black Friday and beyond. 2/3 pieces in my current set have broken handles…so I think mama’s due for an upgrade! 😉
Heated eyelash curler – If there’s one thing I do in my beauty routine every single day, it’s curl my eyelashes (+ add mascara). I’ve heard that heating up your curler makes a WORLD of difference in not just how they look, but really, how long they last. So I’m all for the hack – a perfect stocking stuffer!

SARAH:

Teak & Tobacco Candle – A great smelling candle is always a great gift for me – I have a candle cabinet full of great smells.
Liquid IV – The ultimate stocking stuffer for those of us in our 30s!
– I never buy perfume for myself, so it’s always on my wish list for holidays or birthdays.
– I just majorly cleaned out my workout clothes, so now I need to get some new, fun options to make me want to run in 2024!
– Leopard print Mary Janes seem like a fun party shoe that’s still practical
– I love setting up a cheese plate, and this serving board is so fun with little serving bowls and spoons.

TAYLOR:

DIME clean beauty products (Get 20% off your entire DIME order with code THRIVE20 at checkout! Woo!)
- “Morning Minimalist” Duo – a must for the cooler weather
- Tinted Wonderscreen – I haven’t tried it yet 🙈 (Here’s Erica’s full DIME Tinted Wonderscreen review with before-and-afters, etc!)
- Volume Mascara – my personal favorite clean mascara that doesn’t run
- Perfume Rollers – if I can ever decide on the scents since they are all amazing (Erica wears 7 Summers most!)
- Here’s a CUR-approved list of hits AND misses from DIME, in case you’re curious! 😉
Dorai Home Bath Stone – I’ve been wanting to upgrade our bathroom mats for awhile and love asking for practical gifts/things that are less exciting to spend money on.
Embroidery Kits – My latest obsession and favorite way to destress on the couch with my favorite show. Easy to learn and perfect for a craft lover!
– Our wedding was officially over a year ago and we still haven’t had any photos printed!
– This one is on Erica’s wishlist, too…ha!

The CURowd:

We polled readers, followers + friends (aka YOU) on what you’re asking Santa for this year…here’s what you said, and what we’d recommend passing right along to your own Santa for some shopping inspo. 😉

A name necklace with my daughters’ names on it – Andrea

I recommend I’m OBSESSED with mine and they make the most meaningful keepsake pieces. You can opt for a more affordable metal or go a bit splurgier with 14K gold. I have the 14K gold and recommend because you’ll wear it forever without it discoloring or tarnishing…10000% worth it for those most special pieces!

Money for rent! – Jess

Era mug, Tarte shimmer gloss, a bar necklace, , and ! – Meg

Espresso machine – Anita

Winter clothes for my babies – Samantha

A Kindle! – Mandy

My best friend gifted me a Kindle for my birthday before having Jonah and it’s one of my *favorite* things now…gets SO MUCH USE and makes reading on the go so easy.

Golden Goose sneakers – Cass

Cordless vacuum – @anderer6
