In this day and age, it’s harder for kids who are trying to be adults to actually do just that. We have to financially rely on our parents for longer, which means that some 25 year olds are still living with their parents or their parents are paying their rent for them. So when your mom asks what’s on your Christmas list, what do you say when you no longer want Barbies and toys, but you also don’t want DVDs or electronics? Here are some things that can go on your adult Christmas list this year:

1. A year long Netflix subscription.

Do you really think your friend is going to keep letting you use their log in? If you want to start adulting, you’re going to need your own log ins for streaming services. You’ll be saving anywhere from $7.99-$11.99 per month, depending on which plan you ask for, which would pay off after a year.

2. An experience.

Asking for experiences is always my favorite. Yeah, you may not have anything but some tickets or a confirmation receipt to open under the Christmas tree, but who cares? Ask Santa for tickets to a Broadway show or a Paint Nite, where you go to a restaurant and eat and drink while learning how to paint a gorgeous picture on a canvas. If none of the artistic experiences are up your alley, ask to go skydiving. I guarantee you the experience will outweigh the disappointment of not opening an actual gift on Christmas day.

3. Classes.

If you have a hobby of any sort, such as pilates, ask Santa for an unlimited month of classes at a pilates studio, or some other kind of class package. This is great because you can improve at your hobby without the stress of how you’re going to pay for it. A lot of times these days, people want to take up hobbies or activities, but they just can’t afford the classes, which is so upsetting because activities are what make people interesting.

4. A year’s worth of toiletries.

If you live on your own, you know that grocery shopping can really put a dent in your wallet. If you ask Santa to send you toiletries every month through Peapod, you only have to worry about buying food when you go to the grocery store. Think of all the things you wouldn’t have to spend money on for a year: toilet paper, paper towels, pads and tampons, makeup remover, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Santa would be delivering gifts straight to your door once a month rather than just on one day!

You can always ask for money to do whatever you’d like with, but if you get money, you may get side tracked and spend it on frivolous things rather than putting it toward your rent. If the money that you’d get is money you’d use toward Hulu or on toiletries anyway, things like streaming subscriptions and grocery deliveries can ease some of the stress of bills. Adulting can be made a little easier if you start thinking about how you can use holidays like Christmas to your financial benefit.
