THE WLW TEAM'S HOLIDAY WISHLIST


It’s always fun to know what people actually want for the holidays. Plus it can give us good ideas on what to gift others. Here’s a peak at what our team has on their list.


ZARA | WLW EVENT COORDINATOR & COMMUNITY MANAGER



1. The Carbonator Matte 3 White

I love the design of this carbonator! Plus it will help me reduce waste and save money in the long run. 


2. Wagi Japanese Trees

The only incense I swear by! I light one during my daily morning tea and it makes the ritual extra cozy.


3. Advanced Protection Cream

Am I the only one whose skin is extra dry this winter? Getting this moisturizer back in my routine ASAP. A little goes a long way with this one!


4. Pretzel Candy Bar

I grabbed a handful of these bars to share at a friends gathering the other day. We have 3 different flavors in the shop. This one reminds me of a sophisticated Twix bar (SO good!).


5. Carmela Necklace

I've been wanting a chunky gold piece for a while and tried this one in the Gorjana store the other day. Excited to pair with my neutral outfits for a pop of life!


NICOLE | WLW MARKETING COORDINATOR



1. Saison Holiday Cookie Tin

This cookie tin is just stunning. Made by a Brooklyn-based baker, this feels like the perfect tinge of nostalgia but with really modern beauty and delicious, unique flavor combinations.


2. Rustic Knot Napkin Ring

I've been trying to slowly accessorize my home with things that feel mature and put-together without losing elements of fun and filled with personality. These napkin rings feels like the best of both worlds and I love that they're handmade for that organic feel.


3. Trust and Travel Writing Retreat

I'm dying to go on any retreat they host. Dedicated time to write and create amongst community and in the most beautiful of places? I'm manifesting this hard. 


4. Glass Rainbow Maker

These are such a fun yet sophisticated way to add little glimmers of light to my home office, especially on days when I'm stuck working inside all day. I just love them.


5. East Coffee Brown Leather Boots

My mind is racing with all of the outfits I can put together with these. Plus, Alohas uses a pre-order system so only what is in demand is made, avoiding waste that's so prevalent in the fashion industry. 




Eden | wlw retail staff member



1. Mini Wavy Recycled Table Lamp

I love the design of this table lamp from Moma. It provides soft lighting, is made from recycled material and feels more like a sculpture than a lamp.


2. Cottage Socks

I want all of the colors in these! They are my all time favorites to wear and to gift! Perfect thickness to keep cozy all winter.


3. Ulla Johnson Packing Cubes

I love Ulla Johnson dresses but just discovered she also makes equally pretty accessories. I always feel like my organizers are mis-matched but this set would keep everything together for my next trip in the best way.


4. Surya Rose Petal Body Oil

The smell is beyond incredible and, unlike most body oils I've tried in the past, this scent lingers on your skin for hours afterwards. It's divine!


5. UGG Classic Ultra Mini

Now that the weather is getting chillier, I would love for these to be my new slip on boot for taking my dog out in the morning, running my morning errands, etc.


ANDREA | WLW OPERATIONS



1. Gabine Bembien Bag
A multifunctional purse that can be held, have a strap, or become a crossbody? Yes please.


2. & 3. Ceremonial Cacao + Royal Cinnamon

'Tis the season for bone broth hot chocolate and the BEST cinnamon.


4. Muse Reading with Kristina Adam

With an astrocartography add on. I've always wanted an in-depth reading to further learn about my placements and the multitude of gifts they bring!


5. The Braeve Ring

Designed by Issa Rae for Cast jewelry, it's a stunner. Cast works with female designers and artists for each capsule collection.




JILL | WLW RETAIL MANAGER



1. Gabine Bembien Bag

Love this one! It's perfect for everyday use! 


2. Diamond Vintage Heart Necklace

I've been really into vintage coin-style necklaces lately, and this one is so petty!


3. Balancing Collagen Cream

This is my holy grail for skincare. I can't go to sleep without it!


4. Sheer Lip Balms

I've been loving these! I got the black balm and can’t wait to try the other colors. 


5. Black Lime and Chili Salt

A favorite addition for me when cooking! It's savory, tart, and slightly spicy, making for the perfect combination of flavors.


RACHEL | WLW RETAIL STAFF MEMBER



1. The Yoko Boot

I've been a huge fangirl of her dresses and brand from the beginning and these boots would go with almost everything!


2. Single Harda Ayurvedic Yoga Mat

This would make the practice of honoring and returning home to my body even more beautiful!


3. Tickets to Laura Marling in LA

This is oddly specific, but this is an experience that came to mind and I'm all about those.


4. Hot Spring Bath Fizz

This is already a favorite scent of mine and taking baths has become such a powerful and necessary ritual for me this year.


5. Bobbie Bag

The oversized slouchy shape of this bag, combined with it being made with handwoven leather, keeps it casual yet elevated.
