Please, before you read any further, take a moment to set the mood by putting on some Mariah Carey (or Michael Bublé, or the soundtrack to The Holiday, depending on your vibe). OK, thank you. Now gather round, pals, for it's frankie staff Christmas wishlist season! This year we’re kicking off the festivities with our editor’s top picks for stuffing-fillers and tree-stashers. If you’re short of a gift or two, take a gander at Shannon’s wishlist below.

Clockwise from top-left:

1. I’m going through a bit of a shoe-and-bag phase at the moment. (Is this what happens when you reach your late-20s?) These LMS heels are supposedly bridal shoes, but I’m just here for the pink-and-red colour combo and the detachable satin rosettes. 

2. My preferred post-work activity is to sit on the lounge and make collages in a notebook while binge-watching comfort shows. My sister recently gifted me some cute floral stamps to use in my collages, but I don’t have any ink. These ink pads would do the trick.

3. This Lisa Says Gah dress might just be the perfect festive frock. I would style it with some glittery eyeshadow, red lippy, and a hefty slice of cherry-covered pav.

4. One day, when I’m all grown up, I’d love to be someone who exclusively owns lovely, matching towels (or bath sheets, if we’re really getting fancy). There will be no mismatched, raggedy towels in this future home!! I would like to start with these swish ones from Hommey. 

5. Whenever I rewatch Mad Men (which is quite often, to be honest), I’m always envious of the schmick decanters that can be found in the offices of Don Draper and Roger Sterling. I’m determined to find a chic crystal decanter, like this one, from my local Vinnies store. Instant class! 

6. When I’m relaxing at home, I need my apartment to be clean and tidy, the front door must be open, and incense must be burning. This balsam fir incense apparently smells like Christmas trees. How festive.

 7. Another smelly item for the wishlist. I pride myself on smelling good, and always need to douse myself in a quick spritz of perfume before leaving the house. Vanilla is my favourite scent (yes, it’s basic, but it's everyone's favourite for good reason!!). I just know I would wear the shit out of this extrait de parfum by Odesse.

8. In line with the aforementioned shoe-and-bag phase, I’ve got my eye on this chocolate-hued beauty from Status Anxiety. The shape is interesting but versatile enough for everyday use, and it’s big enough to fit all the essentials – plus something extra (like a book or a make-up pouch).

9. I love magazines (I know, I know – what a surprise!) and would very much like to snag the new issue of Spanish interiors mag Apartamento to sink my teeth into during the summer holidays. Because everyone needs a new mag for the holidays! 

10. Lovely frankie friend Kitiya Palaskas has been busy making adorable ‘junk drawer’ bag charms and keyrings. This ‘tulips’ one would go perfectly with a certain pair of red shoes and a certain red frock…
