The Hip Team Christmas wish list includes top gifts that you will love!
We believe there’s a Santa! 🤞🏼🎁
Are you unsure what to ask this Christmas? We’re noticing a trend the older we get, the more difficult it is to think of things we actually want for Christmas. Here’s what a Hip reader recently wrote in and said:
“Hi! “Hi! What do you all at Hip2Save want Santa to bring? My boyfriend and my mom keep asking what I want and it’s actually a really hard question. LOL! I’m so used to buying for my kids and everyone else. I googled for Christmas ideas for women over 40. It would be fun to see what is on your wish list this year to help me!” – Debbie
To help our reader, Debbie, and many other readers who are struggling with a wish list of their own, we’re sharing what’s on the top of our wish list! Surely there’s something on our list that you can add to yours. 😉
Here’s what our Hip team is asking for this Christmas!
1. Emily and her fiancé are asking for a sound bar for their living room.
Emily and her fiancé are big on hosting friends and family especially when it comes to football games. A sound bar was at the top their list of things they wanted. It would enhance their gaming, movie night and couch time.
She loves this soundbar because it’s universal and she said it’s the same brand her brother has for surround sound in his basement which sounds simply amazing.
2. Madison says that an Ember mug is her greatest life upgrade.
This Ember mug is a lifesaver for anyone who forgets to heat their coffee in the microwave. Madison wouldn’t necessarily spend over $100 on a heated coffee mug for herself, but it’s definitely her most wished-for item this year.
The white color, which is only $109.99 at the moment, may arrive after Christmas. The other colors are available for slightly more, but you will still receive them before Christmas.
“I got an Ember mug for my Mom last Christmas and she has said multiple times it’s the best Christmas present she’s ever received because she uses it every single day! (And she’s no longer wasting so much of her hot teas and coffees).” – Leslie, Hip sidekick
3. Jenna is asking for a sleek Skylight calendar to manage her family’s busy schedule.
Skylight Calendar – $299.99
*Get $10 OFF with a monthly plan. The calendar is not dependent on a monthly plan.
Jenna shared that two of her kids are too young for phones and her husband isn’t ready to swap out his Android for an iPhone, so it’s really hard to get all 5 of their schedules synced up and in one location.
Jenna stated that this calendar was not the cheapest, but having the master calendar, chore schedule, and meal planner all in one location would change Jenna’s life. And well…it’s beautiful too. With the addition of a monthly plan, you’ll be able to turn it into a photo frame and use the convenient magic import to sync events you already have on your calendar.
She’s already convinced me I need one, too!
4. Lina asks for the popular perfume that everyone is raving over.
Lucky for Lina, She said she saw Santa already grabbed this perfume and it’s just waiting to be wrapped. 🤣 She can’t wait to try it after hearing so many of our Hip sidekicks raving about it. It’s known as the “perfume of happiness”, so if you need some of that in your life, this may be at the top of your wishlist too.
5. Ali asked for some fancy copper mugs.
Ali already had a lot of different drinkware, so buying some new copper cups felt like a bit of a luxury. She told her mother-in law that her current set was chipping, so she asked for this better site on Amazon. The set includes a copper straw for each cup, and a copper stirrer as well as a matching beer opener.
6. Rachel wants a portable monitor to split up her many tabs on two screens.
Rachel admitted that she is notoriously known as a “Tab Queen” and having this portable monitor would allow her to conveniently split her screen into two and manage all her open tabs more easily. She loves this option because it’s compatible with so many different devices including her mobile device, an Xbox, PS 3/4/5, and even a Nintendo Switch.
Our Hip sidekick, Trish, also has a portable monitor on her list since she’s so used to two screens in her office:
“I have to second what Rachel said! I’ve been wanting a portable monitor too just because in my office I have a second monitor and I’m so used to working with multiple screens. Having one will allow me to easily work from another room in my house or when I’m visiting my older kids.” – Trish, Hip sidekick
7. Erica’s top wished-for item every year is a planner and the one she’s asking for is under $5.
Erica wants to be organized for the coming year, so she always prioritizes a good planner. The same brand that Erica used last year is available on Amazon for just $5. Erica said it’s crucial for her to have a calendar that sits in the main area of her home so she can write down the family duties! She stated that each day is big enough for her entire family to record everything they have to do. Needless to say, they’d all be LOST without it!
8. Amber will ask for earbuds to scroll (quietly) beside her husband while they are on the couch.
Who else enjoys reading or scrolling their phone next to their partner as they watch a TV show or football match you don’t care about? 🙋🏼♀️ We know this is relatable to so many people, so we especially love Amber’s genius gift idea! Although Amber already has earbuds, she said hers are currently glitching so she doesn’t expect her current electronics to last for long.
She’s hoping to upgrade to this Anker set and said a shiny new Amazon Fire 8 Tablet would be the icing on the cake. Happy wife, happy family, right? 😉
9. Erika wants to replace her old Apple Watch that was faulty with the latest series.
Erika said she’s still sporting an Apple Watch Series 5 which is starting to chip and would love to replace it with the latest one on the market. She said it’s not typically something she would go out and buy for herself so it makes the perfect gift idea for her boyfriend. 😉
Melinda, our Hip sidekick said that she too would like to have a newer Apple Watch Series:
“I second the Apple Watch! Even if it’s not new, I’d just love a better version. My computer is old and doing weird things. Sometimes the screen gets messed up and I need to restart it and it’s so inconvenient, but I doubt I’ll buy myself one any time soon!” – Melinda
10. Bryn stated that she would love to receive some luxury bedding.
Bryn said that she’s yet to fall in love with a duvet that is luxurious and hotel-like. She often struggles with duvets slipping around and bunching up over time. While she doesn’t have a particular brand in mind, I did share the luxury bedding that I’ve been testing for many months. The zip-up cover is my favourite. 😉
11. Angie and myself are looking for a walking pad under the desk.
Angie saw many different walking pads go on sale during Amazon Prime Day, but still couldn’t justify the cost for herself so she’d love to receive one as a gift! The walking pad allows you to stay active while working at home. They can slide under your bed or couch when you’re not using them, and they conveniently can be used right under your office desk or kitchen countertop.
Both she and I have been hesitant about whether or not this purchase would be worth it, but here’s what our hip sidekick Jenna said that convinced us to put it at the top of our list.
“I am OBSESSED with my under-desk treadmill! Damon bought me a desk that stands for my birthday. This treadmill went great with it. I get my steps in even before lunch! I highly highly recommend it!” – Jenna
“I also bought a walking pad for myself for Christmas. It’s currently en route and I cannot wait for it to arrive!” – Rachel, Hip sidekick
And, our Hip sidekick, Elizabeth shared why she loves having one in case you needed any more convincing…
“I love my walking pad, I always said I would go to my apartment gym to walk during the day but I always get caught up in everything, and the next thing I know the day is over. Having the pad next to my desk makes it a lot easier to do and by the end of the day I feel a lot more energized and way less sluggish than if I just sit.” – Elizabeth
12. Angela has already bought a standing desk for her walking pad.
Standing desks are the next thing you should add to your wishlist if you’re in love with a walking mat. Angela, our hip sidekick from last year, had already bought herself a walking mat, so this standing desk was at the top of her list. She said that the only reason she chose to buy this desk was because it is made of one solid piece of wood. She said many others have two pieces where the slit goes down the middle horizontally or vertically and they aren’t nearly as sturdy.
13. Liza said she’d love a night in a hotel room to chill and come home refreshed.
Liza isn’t asking for much, and said she’d be thrilled with a night in a hotel room! She said it doesn’t even have to be an out-of-town vacation either. A night at a local hotel will do! She invited her entire family to stay with her. 😉 Just an evening to veg in a comfy room with her fam-jam, do a little mid-winter swimming, have a nice brunch, and go home relaxed is all she needs. 🤩
