Decode Your Style: What Your 2013 Luxury Holiday Wishlist Reveals About You

Gift guides are wonderful for inspiring what to give others, but let’s be honest—you’ve likely already curated your own dream list. A holiday wishlist is part aspiration, part personality test, and part proof that you already know exactly what you love.

Just like the handbags you carry, your holiday wishlist offers a glimpse into your character. Below, we’ve matched a few wishlist favorites with the kind of fashion personality they suggest.

A Designer Handbag

You possess an encyclopedic knowledge of luxury goods—perhaps enough to take over our editorial desk.

A Luxury Watch

You know luxury when you see it, and you appreciate craftsmanship, silhouette, and timeless appeal.

An Item That’s Already Sold Out

You’re testing the dedication of those around you.

You like accessories that are polished, practical, and quietly powerful.

An iPad

You had an unfortunate spill with your previous device.

You probably enjoy pieces that work hard for your wardrobe while still feeling elegant.

An iPad Mini

You’ve purchased the mini version of a full-size bag you already own—more than once.

A Laptop

This kind of wishlist pick suggests a collector’s mindset and a strong sense of personal taste.

HP Envy Sleekbook, $999 via Microsoft

A Faux Fur Throw

Your Pinterest boards are nothing short of aggressive.

An iPad on your list points to someone who wants style and utility to coexist.

A Diamond Ring

Just propose already.

A MICHAEL Michael Kors Jet Set Tote

You like things streamlined, compact, and undeniably cute.

An Xbox One

You’ve lost your way.

You’re practical, ambitious, and ready to invest in what supports your goals.

Your First Pair of Louboutins

You’re ready for sophisticated soirées.

You may be stylish, but you’re also serious about getting things done.

A Brand New Car

You’re aiming high, and we admire your ambition. (Do let us know if it arrives with an oversized red bow.)

Oh, Nothing…

You’re drawn to cozy pieces that still feel elevated, and your mood boards probably reflect that balance.

Cash or Check, Please

The pursuit is nearly as thrilling as the acquisition itself.

I would really like the bottle green medium Antigona under the tree…but alas, I think I am going to have to purchase that for myself! A diamond ring on your wishlist can signal romance, commitment, or simply a love of meaningful jewelry. > I want the grey one … BTW – the new metal embellishments on the handles make it a bit less understated … still Antigona would be on top of my list … bonus time is 3 months away … sigh … I adore your rationale behind the iPad mini. You’re building a wardrobe around function, polish, and ease. I carry my great, big, gigantic iPad (which seemed SO small a year ago! ) in a fabulous Kate Spade “book cover” case that always gets compliments… so why on earth do I need to get a SECOND iPad, just to hide it in one of my mini-bags? You have broader interests than people may expect, and you’re comfortable showing them. Thanks, Amanda, for yet another clever column that made me laugh aloud. It suggests someone who values fun, downtime, and a little balance alongside all things fashion. > i wish win tonight Powerball and next 2 weeks star shopping. Yes take 4 weeks to got the money.. A first pair of designer heels suggests confidence, anticipation, and a love of statement-making style. Uncle Sam its not joking….. > True statement about the iPad mini! A car on your wishlist points to ambition, independence, and a taste for milestones that feel major. (See the Xbox One description)
