Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Like most Capricorns, I’m a big birthday person. Throwing a party, being the center of attention, receiving gifts—I love it all. Now I’m definitely of the “it’s the thought that counts” mindset, but that doesn’t mean I don’t curate my birthday wish list weeks—okay, fine, months—in advance. Why not give my loved ones a little help and guidance?
This year, I’m looking to invest in items that elevate my life, and my list of dream birthday gifts reflects that. Think stylish luggage for upcoming travels, luxe beauty essentials that make my skincare and makeup routine simple yet effective, and timeless wardrobe staples I’ll have for years to come. Below are 50 items that will please even the pickiest, most high-maintenance Capricorn (myself included). No pressure.
A neural sneaker that I’d wear during all four seasons.
Tommy Hilfiger
Rib-Knit Polo Cardigan
I always think that cardigans with buttons that are the same color as the fabric look so much chicer.
Gap
Vegan Suede Slouchy Tote Bag
I’ve had this bag in tan for over a year and wear it all the time. I think it’s time to get the chocolate-brown one too.
Leopard is a neutral, and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Abercrombie
Mid Rise 90s Straight Jean
Don’t sleep on Abercrombie’s jeans.
