It’s almost Christmas! And given one’s universal wish for peace, joy, and good health, I asked friends to tell us about their wishes that could actually be “bought.”
I know Christmas is not necessarily about gifts, (unless you’re a kid) but it never really hurt anyone to receive one.
Tricia Centenera
Lingerie! Because I really believe girls should not buy their own lingerie.
Nikka Garcia
Aquazzura shoes, because I find their designs sexy, and I need that boost as a mom.
Mikaela Martinez
A black Hermès Kelly with gold hardware, because it’s a classic.
Rocio Olbes-Ressano
I want jewelry from Macky Fah, because I love everything Philippine-made. It’s also double the treat when made by a friend.
Janina Dizon-Hoschka
I would love a Chanel tweed coat!
Cit-Cit Sioson
It’s a long shot because it’s not available for sale yet, but I’ve been lusting over “The Spector.” It’s a prototype made by Fiona O’ Leary, a student at the Royal College of Art. It’s a gadget that takes a photo of any font and color you see in the world, which you can then upload into Adobe InDesign and use in your own work!

A set of these platito (for 12) from Au Bain Marie would add a shot of whimsy to the one I already have at home. I’ve always loved its illustrations and the tin + glass plays nicely off my stoneware. I like to set a place setting the way I style my clothes—mixing up the styles and with a lot of contrasting materials. Additionally, I wish for storage; my cabinets are already heaving.
Chesca Kramer
A trip to Japan with the whole family!
Patty Ang
A gold Patek Philippe Nautilus!
Cat Antonio
I want a Sony PX 100 camera, because it’s the best Sony camera for Vlogs. It’s stable and has a great selfie flip screen.
