About

Without a wishlist is for the endless Googlers, generic gift shop scourers & often indecisive.

​

Take the stress out of finding gift ideas, get inspired by this ever-growing catalogue of gifts for every occasion, person & budget. 

Howdy!

I'm Emily

I've helped sell well over 20 million gifts in my life through my career in marketing, I've spent 12 years thinking non-stop about the next great Christmas, Mother's Day and birthday gifts and I figure it's about time I spread my knowledge & love for gift ideas.


People always find it unusual how much I love shopping for gifts, I will spend hours scouring the shops online & on the high street to find presents for friends & family.

I'm that ever-so-slightly annoying person who has all their Christmas shopping done by October so I'm often asked for advice.

​

My internet browser bookmarks & Evernote are full to bursting, so I decided to create this site as a catalogue of my favourite finds. Maybe you'll discover the perfect gift on Without a Wishlist or maybe it will just give you the spark of an idea you needed to get started.

​

All my recommendations are honest - things I'm buying, things I love or a trusted recommendation.

​

It's such a thrill to find a gift, without a wishlist, that the recipient loves!

When I'm not gift shopping I'm...

​

  • Down the garden talking to my chickens, pestering them for cuddles or feeding them treats. I'm obsessed.

​

  • Whipping out my bow & arrow like a suburban Robin Hood (without the pillaging and the merry men) to shoot at my local archery club

​​

  • Trying to live my best INFJ life by embracing JOMO ( the Joy of Missing Out) except when there's a sickening drag show to be seen

​

  • Re-bingeing feel-good TV shows like Grace & Frankie, Ru Paul's Drag Race, Queer Eye, to name but a few.
