My birthday is coming up really fast, which feels really strange because it came a lot sooner than I thought (here's to aging!). IDK about you, but I'm always stumped when people ask me what I want. So, to make their lives easier, I compiled a list of things I'd be thrilled to receive this year. Now, let me just pop in a quick disclaimer: I don't expect these things; this is more of a helpful guide. So, if you, too, need some help deciding what to add to your birthday wish list or what to buy someone else, keep reading for some ideas from Anthropologie, Sephora, Amazon and more.
