Nursem Caring Hand Cream
£9.99 • Nursem
This is the best hand cream I’ve found. It smells amazing, isn’t sticky and stops my hands from getting destroyed in winter. For every product purchased, Nursem donates hand cream to an NHS nurse. —Nic Crawshaw

I, Joan by Charlie Josephine
£10.99 • Gays The Word
I went to see this at The Globe last month and it, was one of the best things I have ever seen at the theatre. A queer retelling of Joan of Arc. —Nic Crawshaw

Cocktail Tumblers
$14.55 • Not On The High Street
This is super boring, but I always ask for homeware that I need/want, and I’ve had my eye on some fancy tumblers for cocktails. —Nic Crawshaw

Grazia – Grazia vinyl
€399 • Discogs
This is an absolute gem of a record. Israeli-born teenager Grazia Peretz sings in Turkish on the whole album, and her tone and accent give the record a real sense of uniqueness. It’s so creative in its melodies, time signatures and production, and I just can’t get enough. There is a reissue version with a couple of tracks missing, but the original pressing is what I’ve really got my eye on. —Serra Petale

Sennheiser HD540 Headphones
$149.95 • eBay
Our dear friend and longtime collaborator, Tom Mitchell, told me about these headphones during a flight from Italy to Germany. He has described them as the best headphones to listen to music to, and I believe him! —Serra Petale

Roland JC20 Jazz Chorus Amplifier
£1,240 • PMT
The built-in chorus is so damn good. I recorded with one of these this year, and I never want to record with anything else, ever again. Make my dream come true! —Serra Petale

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
$59.99 • GameStop
This drops May 12, 2023, and needless to say I’ve been waiting a long time for this! The previous Zelda, Breath of the Wild still stands as the best Zelda game of all time for me, and I’m excited to see where they can take this incredible adventure in its sequel. —Serra Petale

Blazer Dress
£145 • Ilk and Earnie
Love this blazer dress from sustainable female-led clothing company Ilk and Ernie. Been eying it out for a while, hence is on top of the wish list! —Josefine Jonsson

Sowden Kettle
$164.49 • Trouva
Realistically, I’d never ever spend this much money on a Kettle, but if it’s on Santa’s tab, I promise I’ve been a very good girl indeed and deserve the most delicious cup of tea brewed in the most stylish kettle. —Josefine Jonsson

Stumpwork by Dry Cleaning vinyl
$29.99 • Rough Trade
This record dropped at the end of October, and it’s so good! Would love to have a physical copy for my record collection. —Josefine Jonsson

ABBA Sweater
£60 • ABBA
We went to see Abba Voyage back in July, and it was amazing! I was certainly skeptical whether I’d enjoy the hologram experience, but as soon as they started playing “Gimme Gimme Gimme!” — my favorite ABBA tune — any worries got washed away. Since then, I’ve really wanted this sweater. I think if I did get it, I probably won’t take it off, ever. —Josefine Jonsson

Pre-Raphaelite Cats by Susan Herbert
£7.95 • Waterstones
This book has everything I love. They should do one with dogs as well. —Agustina Ruiz

Breaking Hearts Black Celestial Penny Lane Coat
$200 • The Hippie Shake
The Hippie Shake designs the most iconic coats, and this one is no exception. —Agustina Ruiz

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (The Criterion Collection)
$39.95 • Amazon
Yukio Mishima is one of my favorite writers, and this movie is incredible, but I can’t find it anywhere online, so having this DVD will make my Sundays easier. —Agustina Ruiz
