With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I figured I would put together a wish list of things I would love to receive. The thing about gifts for me is that the cost is unimportant. The best gifts that I have received are those items that I desire, but don’t necessarily want to spend the money on. For example, I had been complaining to my sister about how my liquid liner always ends up smudging all over my lids no matter what brand I try (something to know about me, I don’t spend money on makeup – it’s just not my thing). Sure enough a few days later, I get a package in the mail with the exact liner she raved about – The Kat Von D Tattoo Liner. This made the best gift because it was something I wanted, but didn’t want to purchase myself.
So going back to Valentine’s Day gifts, I put together a wish list of everything I personally want. Yes, I could have put together a gift guide for a significant other, a friend, a mother, a sister, etc., but everyone else has already done that for you. So this is a gift guide for me and for anyone in your life that is like me.
As you look at the wish list items below, you will clearly see a pattern. I am a shoe, bag, and skincare (not to be mistaken for makeup) obsessed person! You can’t blame a girl for definitely knowing what departments she would like gifts from.
So if you have a significant other, a friend, a mother, a sister that has the same obsessions as I do, any of these gifts would knock their socks off and get you a little extra lovin’. I’ll bet you would never guess what I really want from the wish list….scroll below to see the answer…
So out of all these what’s at the top of my list? That Instax camera and the Baies candle (and both are about $60)!

Hi Amy! Me neither, I would happily take anything from here, even the matches. Who doesn’t need pretty matches for that Baies candle someone will get me! =)
Every item on your Valentines wish list would make such an amazing Valentine’s day gift! I especially love that beige Valentino bag 🙂 Have an amazing day girl!

Hi Ash, I know right?! I figured many bloggers could identify with this wish list even though it’s my wish list. Maybe a certain someone will get the hint. Haha.

I love everything here on your wish list babe! I could use some Diptyque candles in my life right about now hehe 🙂 xo, sharon

I know, I would love them too, but as a gift. I can’t bear to spend that much on a candle! =)
This is a fabulous list!! I’m in love with the SKII treatment, they’re so powerful, but also gentle on the skin!!

Ohhh, I so badly want to try it but can’t get myself to pay for it so it’ll make a perfect gift idea for the hubs.
You sure curated an excellent list!! There are a few things in there I would love to call my own, though my partner doesn’t believe in VDay. Oh well.

I totally understand Jenelle. My hubbie says everyday should be a day of love. Hehe. I think us ladies make a bigger deal of it because it’s one more excuse to receive a gift!
these are amazing gift ideas Christine!! and i agree with you, i always end up loving gifs that came from a thoughtful place, it really doesn’t matter how much it costs! thanks for sharing!
xx Melis
http://fashionmews.com
Aren’t those the best gifts Melis? Not only do I really want the Instax camera and candle, I really want those matches too!
We must have similar tastes, because I have a good 40-50% of these same items on my own wishlist! So many cute things to ask for! I hope you get to enjoy many of them! 🙂
Stephanie // SheSawStyle.com
I know right? I wish I could create a wish list all the time. Just creating them is fun too. =)
I love all your items on the wishlist! I received the instant camera for Christmas and have been obsessed with it!!
Really?! Now I totally want that for Valentine’s Day!
I love everything you chose, especially those red heels. I need to compile a wishlist of my own 🙂
http://www.thebeautybeau.com
Thanks Candace. The best part is that those red heels are great for any occasion even after Valentine’s Day. They would really add a statement to an outfit.
I love that you did a guide for yourself!!! It reflects you personality and you have great taste. ❤❤
Hehe, it does, doesn’t it? Now everyone knows what my obsessions are lol.
I love beautiful gifts, your choices are really wonderful. Wish I can have them all. Can’t wait to see what I will get this Valentines 🙂 thanks for sharing, Christine. Happy Weekend! Xx, Gina
Thank you Gina, I wish I could have it all! =)
Oh babe I love love this gift guide!!! Can I request all the same things, better yet just share this post with everyone in my fam!?! Lol, but seriously I need it all!! :)) xx Adelina
http://www.thecharmingolive.com
You are too cute Adelina and hopefully we get something off this list for Valentine’s Day!
Hello Christine!!
Nice gift ideas, love the Gucci cardholder and the Instax for my daughter. Anyway nice all gifts what are you proposed for us, thx.
Sending love from Italy
Eva
http://www.themermaidfashion.com
Wow you are the best mom ever that you even think to get your daughter these gifts! Can I be in your family?! =)
Wouldn’t mind getting those gorgeous nude pumps either!
LA VEINE
You and I must be very similar, because I literally want everything on this list! So many great selections! I think I will forward this link straight to the hubby haha

I would love to get a pair of shoes, because all my shoes are in storage at the moment and I can’t see my babies! Thanks for ideas
Oooh I love the instax camera! To this day, I think it’s one of the best gifts you can give someone. For me, instead of caring for a monetary value gift, I prefer a sentimental gift. I can always buy expensive items and pick items I want the most, but a sentimental gift has so much more value to me since there’s a history and story behind it, which makes the gift so timeless and meaningful.
http://www.atsunamatsui.com
I’m the same – I always want to try new makeup products. I think it’s helpful for both parties when you know what you want and you let them know what’s on your list. hope you get the items on your wish list!
http://www.samanthamariko.com
Totally agree! I’ve given up on being surprised with the gifts and rather get what I want. =)
I could totally go for someone gifting me that YSL bag 😉 Love it all, especially the GG card case, but I need to stay away from Gucci!!! (The addiction is too real)!
Hehe, me too! I haven’t bought into the Gucci craze yet, but trust me I am about to give in!
Love those red heels! And I’m a huge fan of the Laura Mercier powder. I used to use the Kat Von D tattoo liner, but you know what’s even better? Tarte! They have a super fine liner that goes on so easily. A beginner would have no trouble using it.
xx Yasmin
http://banglesandbungalows.com
Ohhh, thanks for sharing, I will try the Tarte one too! I’ve been loving the Laura Mercier powder because I just gave in and got it for myself.
I seriously love everything on this list! I just got some samples of three of Replica’s scents from Sephora. Can’t wait to try them out!
xo, Jo
http://www.cutandchic.com
Oh, that is a great idea! I need to get some samples! =)
I am obsessing over everything on your wishlist!
Cheers,

Thanks Taylor! I knew creating a wish list for myself would also help others. =) Hehe.
Wow !!! Christine !! At first every single item reminded me of my mother who has the utmost style and class just like you sand then I saw the shoes and the camera and decided they would be perfect for me. You choose the most gorgeous bags and the skincare and candles are absolutely fabulous! Thank you so much for compiling such a thorough useful amazing list ! I am going to save this and refer to it for all the holidays .
Oh WOW looks like your hub’s gonna bleed after seeing your loooong wish list! And the Baies candle looks expensive – bet it must have smelt heavenly 😀
You’re hilarious Aldora! I hope he did read this wish list and has some great ideas for a gift for me. I don’t need all, just one or two or ten. =)
Omg it’s funny because when you were talking about how your eyeliner always smudge immediately I was going to recommend the Kat Von D tattoo liner but i see you already got that haha. Doesn’t it just work like a dream?!
And that’s actually such a good idea, usually people make these gift guide list for specific people like boyfriends/girlfriends/parents/friends, but it’s really too much variable and difference in people to make a list that suits them. As your followers we already have a great sense of your style and taste and it’s easy for us to know the people in our lives that are similar to you! So these is really a great gift guide to consider hehe. And yes omg I’ve been so into the YSL clutches lately too, I was eyeing the black one with the golden tassel for sooo long but i ended up getting a chanel wallet instead. Ahh until next time when i can finance it haha.

Oh yay, I am so glad to hear that you love the Kat Von D liner too! I have been enjoying it so far! Thanks for making me feel better about creating my own wish list haha. Ahhh, I’ve wanted that YSL tassel bag forever too but I think you were smart to go with the Chanel wallet. Chanel is just Chanel and you can’t beat that!
The smith and cult nail polish range is the cutest thing ever and I am a sucker for Byredo fragrances! My next one is going to be Mojave Ghost – have you smelt that yet??
Helen xx
https://helenchik.com/how-la-prairies-line-interception-power-duo-changed-my-skin
Love their polish colors, right? No, I haven’t tried Mojave Ghost but now I definitely need to! Thanks for the tip!
The YSL bag is so pretty! Great wishlist. 🙂
Isn’t it?! I have been eyeing a YSL bag for my next bag purchase!
Thank you Jennifer. I definitely am eyeing a YSL bag for my next bag purchase. Hopefully soon unless I get one as a gift (hint, hint). =)
This is such a great wish list, babe!!! I’m so glad you shared it. I love the fragrances and pumps you listed. How sexy! 🙂
http://www.cecelam.com/2017/02/island-hopper.html
Thanks Cece! I never thought I would be into fragrances, but I definitely love them but don’t want to spend my own money on them which makes them the perfect gift idea for someone!
Lovely wishlist! xoxo
Thanks so much Dolce! Hope you have a wish list for yourself too!
Haha, being single I actually enjoyed reading about a gift guide for yourself. I should make one for myself too so all my admirers (uh, like there would be so many…) can buy me all the things I want, including that Polaroid camera you have on your list! 🙂
xoxo

http://thomasfalkenstedt.com
Hehe, I know it seems a bit selfish creating my own wish list but why not? It was more for a hint to my hubbie. =) I know, that Instax camera is the cutest isn’t it? And perfect for flatlays (just saying).
I could make a wishlist but I know my husband isn’t buying me anything. I’ll be buying my own gifts this week at the Dannijo sample sale LOL. I want a YSL bag so bad…I need a sale ASAP!
XO
http://www.lehoarder.com/
Hehe, yes, I am all for buying our own gifts as well. I definitely want a YSL bag so let me know if you find any good deals!
Ok I want that red heels for V-day, it is so cute!!
Aren’t they super cute Deddeh? Not only for Valentine’s Day but they can be worn all the time and would make a major statement!
I love that put a gift wishlist for you, as its so true everyone else is posting a gift guide for others (including myself, though I have included some for myself too ;)). I love everything on this list and simply won’t be able to pick one if you asked me what I wanted 😀
xx, Kusum | http://www.sveeteskapes.com
Thanks Kusuma! I think as bloggers we all have similar tastes which is why my wish list works for a lot of us. =)
Oh I highly recommend splurging on the Balenciaga cuff bracelet – I have two and they are so nice. Sadly both packed away while my youngest by is in his food flinging stage, haha. Safer for them that way.
Great gift list, hope you get a few things off of it for Valentine’s day 🙂
Hope you had a really nice weekend 🙂

What a great list! I love seeing what skincare other people adore. Since moving to LA, I’ve gotten acne, and I didn’t have it before. I’m always looking to try out other products. I want to try the SKII products. I’ve seen them a lot, but haven’t taken the plunge, like you. So smart to have an unpurchased list of items for gift ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Xo,
Miki

Moving always affects the skin which is so annoying. It is definitely more dry here so I use a lot of masks and literally slather my face every night with lots of Korean skincare products. =)
So many fabulous picks! Seriously want them all!

All the best, Sarah-Allegra
http://www.fashionequalsscience.com
Thanks Sarah-Allegra! I love your new Gucci bag…need to add that to my next wish list! =)
I love that you made a wishlist for yourself. I think we are very similar. I’m a skincare enthusiast and I’m obsessed with bags and shoes hehe! I love that Gucci quilted leather card case. It is on my wish list 😉
Bisous, Josie
http://www.petiteandbold.com
Yay, glad you found things that you loved off my wish list too. Isn’t that Gucci card case too perfect?
What a fabulous wish list the polaroid camera is a great idea and you can shoot an awesome outfit post with that one! so it’s functional as well as a fun gift.
Of course I would love one of everything above ! Especially that little YSL bag that I hope to own someday ! You picked some great items with lots of various price points. Well done 🙂

I love the idea of having others buy you what you want!! Genius! Hahaha, I’m a shoe girl, but lately I’ve been into bags. I love all the neutral pumps that you chose. You can never go wrong with a neutral heel right? Really digging the G. Rossi pumps and those red bottoms with the spikes!!
I totally feel you on the shoes, they just make me so happy! Bags are great investments as well and definitely more everyday than shoes. But everyone has their thing and glad we share some similarities!
So many great selections and choices babe!!! I’mm craving for so many of these goodies.
Happy V day babe!!
Hugs from Tanzania

Marcy
Thanks Marcy! I hope you have a wonderful one too in somewhere magical!

Manda | http://EvocativelyChosen.com

These ideas are great. Thank you for sharing babe.

http://www.glamandposh.com
Thanks Maryam…they may not be for everyone, but I am sure it gets the ideas flowing. Hehe.
So many great items! You really cant go wrong with any of them 🙂
Girl this wishlist is exactly what I would want. Candles, lingerie, just missing a little wine haha. I actually have a necklace similar to that triangle one just not gold 🙂 I’ve also personally been dying for a polaroid cam! Aren’t they the cutest? Hope you have a good V-day!
Yes wine…I don’t drink much, but wine is also a great idea. Yes, the Instax camera is so cute and perfect for flatlays!

Great gift ideas! For a red lover like me I need those Saks Fifth red heels!!
https://www.bunnybernice.com/single-post/2017/02/10/Evening-Luxe-for-Lexx
Thanks Bernice! You totally would rock those red heels! Red is definitely your color!
I know that a lot of girls are dreaming of receiving beautiful lingerie on Valentine’s Day, but I would rather prefer Creme de La Mer! Am I addicted to makeup and skincare? LOL
