Barb's Wish List (2025)

You really don't need to get me anything. But if you insist...

❤️ I genuinely appreciate donation gifts! I've posted a list of causes below, but do whatever you like. You can give me cash to donate through my employer to double the impact through our generous 100% match program.

🚫 Please no books, magazines, notebooks, calendars or other paper reading/writing material. You can gift an Audible donation if you want to share a book. (Greeting cards don't count - it's delightful to receive a card in the mail!)

🟡 I have enough scarves, handbags, wallets, candles and socks to last a lifetime. It's not a hard no, if you find something you think I'll really like.

General Guidance

• Food: Brings joy and leaves no clutter. I'm avoiding added sugar, but will make exceptions for special treats. Otherwise, surprise me!
  

• Gift Cards: Always welcome. Particularly Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, West Elm, Sephora, Ulta, Backcountry, REI.
  

• Digital Subscriptions: Audible gift cards are great. I'd be curious to get a digital-only subscription to Outside Magazine.
  

• Pura Scents: I have Pura home diffusers and a car diffuser, I'm always interested in trying new scents.
  

• Hand and Body Creams: Nice creams are always welcome. I like Origins Ginger Souffle Body Cream, and L'Occitane hand creams.
  

• Clothes and Shoes: Warning, I'm picky - but go for it if you're feeling bold, and save the receipt. I like ATM, James Perse, Joie and Velvet. My colors are black, charcoal grey, certain shades of teal and moss green, ochre yellow. If you buy me anything with patterns, you don't know me. If you pay full price, I will be sad. I'm generally an XS-S in clothes and 7.5 in shoes, ranging from 7 to 8 depending on fit.
