Holiday Wish List: Amazon Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

As the holiday season approaches, I know we are all beginning to work on our wishlists. I have found that a lot of the time, the best gifts are the most basic ones. While working on my own, I have compiled a list of some of the Amazon essentials I will definitely be asking for this holiday season to share with you. I have also included some daily basics I have from Amazon that I recommend you add to your holiday wishlists. 

Jewelry essentials

I am personally such an earring person. I have my first, second, and third piercings, and I absolutely love switching them up every once in a while. Having a variety of small earrings to layer and change up is a game-changer for my everyday outfits. My go-to earring set is from Amazon, and I wear at least one from this set every day. It comes in a pack of five, and they all look so good with each other. Gold is currently my preferred metal to wear, and I am in need of some basic big hoops, whether it be for going out or to spice up a casual outfit, and Amazon has so many great options.

workout sets

If you’re anything like me, cute workout outfits are the game changer for motivation. I am just so much more likely to go to the gym or work out when I am feeling cute and confident in my workout set. Amazon is the place to go for cute and affordable workout sets, so these will definitely be on my wishlist this year. The Amazon QINSEN ribbed workout outfits come in so many different colors and are only $32.99.

tiktok beauty products

I am honestly not the best at makeup, but TikTok has been motivating me to get better. I have seen nonstop promotion of the Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Tint, and will definitely be asking for it this year. Charlotte Tilbury makeup products have also taken over my TikTok feed, and I am looking forward to hopping on that bandwagon, specifically, the Flawless Filter. Both these products come in travel sizes, which is perfect for trying them out.

Long sleeve basics

I am always looking for basics I can wear to layer, especially during the cold winter season. Amazon has perfect options when it comes to basics. They are selling a shirt that is an amazing dupe for the Cotton On Ribbed Scoop Neck Shirt for only $10.99, the KMBANGI Women Low Cut Crop Shirt. They also come in so many different colors and are perfect for layering purposes.

Sweat sets

Sweat sets are definitely the loungewear of the year, and they can be really expensive. Thankfully, Amazon has great affordable options for this wishlist item as well. They are selling the Fixmatti Long Sleeve Jogger Pant 2 Piece Outfit for $46.99 in 12 different colors. I live in sweats during the cold winter season, and this is a perfect outfit to throw on and be comfy but still super fashionable. 

going out tops

I feel like you can never have too many going out tops. I personally am always looking for new ones, but they can be extremely expensive, and Amazon has many great options. I linked some of my favorite finds below.

As everyone starts finalizing their holiday wish lists, I hope that this list helped in coming up with some basic essentials for the winter season. Winter break is just around the corner — finish this final stretch and enjoy the holiday and winter season!
