If you're like me, you're probably too old to be writing letters to Santa for Christmas, but maybe you still write them as a joke or a desperate cry for your adulthood to come to a halt.
Being an adult means that you can't ask for Barbies and Lego sets (although some of those Legos are really cool) because you're supposed to be asking for important "adult things" for Christmas, given that you're still asking for Christmas gifts.
In case you have no idea what an adult should ask for for Christmas, here a few must-haves that I've found to be wonderful gifts.
Tupperware container.
Instead of throwing out your food and wasting your money, ask Santa for some Tupperware containers. They're also great if you're into meal prepping!
Iron and ironing board.
Quit looking like a mess with those wrinkled clothes. Instead of throwing your clothes back into the dryer every time they're wrinkled, put an iron and ironing board on your wishlist.
Sewing kit or sewing machine.
If you've never learned to sew, it's not too late to learn how. Ask Santa for a sewing kit or sewing machine to fix tears in your clothes, hem those pants that are too long, or even sew those cool patches onto your denim jacket.
Bedsheets, pillows, and mattress toppers.
It's time to ditch the cartoonish bedsheets and throw some new covers onto your bed. Add on some fluffy pillows and a mattress topper and you'll be ready for the new year as an adult.
Student loans paid off.
If you've got student loans and Santa is able to help you, ask if you can have some of your loans paid off. Even just a portion of that debt will make your Christmas a little jollier.
Gas money.
Car? Scooter? Motorcycle? Maybe now is the time to ask Santa Claus for gas money.
Gift cards for restaurants/grocery/clothing stores.
Instead of spending your money on food and clothes, ask for gift cards for your favorite places to shop and eat. It's an easy gift for Santa to find for you.
Grooming products.
If you don't own nail clippers, a nail file, or some sort of grooming product- it's time to grow up. Grooming yourself is part of being an adult, and Santa will be happy to provide you with whatever tools you need to maintain your appearance.
A massage/spa package.
As an adult, you're always stressed and your body is always hurting for some reason. Ask Santa for a massage or spa package for Christmas. Maybe he'll throw in an additional seaweed wrap or relaxing facial to help prepare you for the new year.
One month of rent paid.
Paying rent sucks, and now that you're an adult, it sucks even more. A great Christmas gift this year would be one month of rent paid, and maybe utilities, too.
A wine box subscription.
There's so many subscriptions services out now, but maybe the wine box subscription where you get a crate of wine delivered once a month is the most important one. See if Santa will throw in some wine glasses, too.
Preworkout or protein powder.
If going to the gym on a regular basis is part of your New Year's resolution, you definitely need to ask Santa Claus for preworkout or protein powder. Nothing says "I'm an adult" like a full protein shaker before the gym.
