Don’t get me wrong- getting gifts is great, but for me it’s definitely not the highlight of holidays and birthdays. Regardless, I’ve thrown together a little “wishlist” for this year’s birthday & hopefully this will help you if your birthday comes up and you, like myself, have no answer for “Uncle Tim and Aunt Sally” when they ask what you want. 

A Bluetooth Speaker

This is something that is pretty necessary in college which I don’t own. A bluetooth speaker is just generally something good to own, so why not ask for it as a gift?

JBL, 89.95

Beats Pill, $229.95

Activewear

It’s safe to say I live in either sweats or activewear when I’m at college. I also workout pretty much every day so investing in nice workout clothes is a must for me. I will NEVER regret buying a pair of LuluLemon leggings because even if they are on the pricier side I get so much use out of them- they act as loungewear, pants, and of course, activewear. 

LuluLemon, $118

Alo Yoga, $104

Sorority Apparel

OBBBVIOUSLY I’ve gotta rep my house on campus! Sorority gear is fun because it comes in so many logo designs, here are a few of my favorites:

The Social Life, $24

The Social Life

Altar Ego Sorority, $68

Nice Jewelry

Another good investment! I’m definitely the type of person to wear the same pieces every day and your birthday is the perfect time to say f**k it & treat yourself. Some of my new favorite trendy brands for everyday wear include: Bagatiba, The M Jewelers, Catbird, and of course, Tiffany & Co. 

Tiffany & Co, $150

Bagatiba, $188

The M Jewelers, Price Varies

Automatic Film Camera

Ahh!! For the love of film… film pictures have always had a soft spot in my heart, but to be honest, doesn’t it for everyone? I have a manual film camera which I occasionally use but unless I’m going on a photography excursion, I want my cameras to be fast and easy to use (I’m a millennial- what can I say?). 

And that’s a wrap!
