It Girl Items to Add to Your Wishlist

By: Lucy DiChristina

Your birthday should be one of your favorite days of the year focused around making you feel special, however, one of the things that I constantly stress about before my birthday is what I should ask for when people are wondering what to get me. I hate asking for gifts because I feel like it assumes that I am expecting one and it is not what my birthday is about. With that being said it is inevitable that gifts are going to come your way and that people are going to ask you what you want. I have a new mindset when requesting birthday gifts to ask for things that I don’t want to get for myself, would improve my life, and will make me think of the person who gave them to me. Although I always think a thoughtful card is sufficient, here are a few gift ideas if you need some to add to your list.

A Travel Jewelry Case

As a college student, every time I pack to go home for a weekend or month-long break I find myself struggling to figure out what jewelry to pack and wear to pack it. Right now my go to for packing my jewelry has been stuffing it all in a sunglasses case. Although I still think this idea is innovative and sufficient, there are definitely better storage options. A travel jewelry case is the obvious solution. Jewelry cases are the perfect gift because there are so many options of color fabric design that will fit nearly anybody’s aesthetic, and can even be personalized. One of the things that makes this a perfect gift wish list item is that jewelry cases are available in a large range of prices from $15-80 so people can truly spend only as much as they feel comfortable with! This is the perfect gift to simplify someone’s life and add to their collection that they will consistently use.

A Phone Case

I always hate buying new phone cases because I never know what to get and I never want to spend anything more than five dollars on a phone case that will probably break in 10 minutes. However, if you get a phone case for someone for their birthday, it is unavoidable that they will think of you every day when they pick up their phone in the morning and put it down before going to bed.

Emi Jay Hair Clip

Although I have been obsessed with the Emi Jay hair clips and accessories since their

establishment, I have never been able to justify buying one for myself. I always feel like my

money can be better directed towards a different cause and that spending it on a hair clip would be a waste. Emi Jay has a large variety of products and different aesthetics which the clips fit into. I think it is the perfect balance of being a chic timeless accessory without it being too expensive.

Heaven Mayhem Earrings

If you were looking for something nicer, I think the Heaven Mayhem earrings are the perfect

solution. Heaven Mayhem provides a wide selection of earrings that balance all of the current jewelry trends. My favorite item in the Heaven Mayhem selection is the cutest pair of mixed metal earrings. I think that mixed metal earrings, specifically these ones, are the perfect gift because of their versatility and popularity. Earrings are such a perfect gift because they are easy to dress up or dress down and can easily elevate any outfit.
