16 Perfect Gift Ideas to Put on Your Birthday Wishlist for 2022

With the new year beginning, we all have 2022 birthdays to look forward to! Check out this list for a variety of ideas of what to ask for this year.

Espresso machine or cold-brew coffee maker. 

If you are a coffee enthusiast, like myself, and can no longer afford to spend $5 per 16 oz coffee at Starbucks, your very own coffee maker may be your hero and best friend all in one. Whether you prefer hot or cold coffee, there is a gadget out there for every caffeine lover. 

LED strip lights

These may be a little bit “last year,” but I think LED lights are an awesome way to add some color and fun to your space! 

Portable mini-fridge 

On the go or not, a portable mini-fridge makes it easy to keep your perishables fresh.

Portable smoothie blender

For the smoothie lovers, a portable blender may be even better than a portable mini fridge. This smoothie blender makes it easy to have a nice, refreshing drink even when in a hurry. 

Wall tapestry or flag 

Looking for ways to decorate your space? A wall tapestry of some nice artwork, or a flag of your favorite sports team is a quick and easy way to add some of your personality to your room. 

Bluetooth speaker 

A good speaker can go a long way! Bluetooth speakers are handy whether you’re just listening to music in your room or hanging out with a group of friends. Plus, they’re super easy to connect to and carry around. 

Cube shelves + storage bins 

Got too much stuff? Me too, but cube shelves and/or storage bins are a great way to keep your all things organized without taking up too much space. 

Phone case

Phone cases not only protect your phone from breaking, but they’re also a nice way to customize and add personality to your cell! There are a variety of great phone case brands, but my personal favorite is Wildflower Cases!

Disposable camera 

Taking pictures on your phone is alright, but taking film photos is unmatched. A disposable camera is a great way to capture moments in a more nostalgic way. Whenever I take a trip with friends or family, I love to buy a disposable camera to document the trip! The photos turn out great when developed, and it’s super fun to make a scrapbook of your adventures.

The Five Minute Journal

Journaling is a great way to start your morning! Jot down what how you feel, what you’re grateful for, and how you’re going to seize the day with the Five Minute Journal. This journal gives you ways to practice gratitude daily and helps to elevate your mood so you can start everyday as the best version of yourself. 

Water Bottle 

I’m not going to lecture you on why staying hydrating is important – because we all know that it is. Having a reusable water bottle in your favorite color makes drinking water easier, more fun and is MUCH better for the environment than cycling through plastic ones. 

Essential oil diffuser 

Essential oils have a nice scent, but they also have multiple mental and physical benefits. Using an essential oil diffuser can help you relax, boost your mood, ease joints and help you to breathe easier. 

Yoga mat

Make ab workouts, stretching and yoga more comfortable!

Slippers 

Cold feet no more! Cozy slippers to walk around the house in are the perfect gift for the cold winter months. 

Candles 

A well scented room is hard to beat, and candles are the perfect way to freshen up your space. I especially love to light candles in the winter months for the cozy feel. 

Gift Cards

Still not sure about the specifics of what you want on your wishlist? Gift cards are the perfect present for the indecisive. Just choose a handful of your favorite stores. Here are a few ideas, inspired by my favorites:

  • Target
  • Starbucks
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Lululemon
  • Chipotle 
  • Amazon
  • Visa
