WISH UPON THE STARS
Celebs look back on their most treasured holiday gifts—and inspire this year’s must-have list.
“When I was 6, I got a Wendy house—it’s a little house that you build.” —Catriona Balfe, 39, Outlander
MUST-HAVE: Fixer Upper’s Chip and Joanna Gaines know a bit about building homes. Their Hearth & Hand by Magnolia Wooden Dollhouse has an uncanny similarity to their own handcrafted farmhouse in Waco, Texas. $130, target.com
“A Mattel two holster and pistol set of a Fanner 50, which was a cap gun.” —Tom Selleck, 73, Blue Bloods
MUST-HAVE: Trade caps for points with Blast! Retro Gaming Systems, equipped with a USBpowered HDMI dongle that plugs into your TV. Available for old favorites like Pong, Centipede and Pac-Man. $20–$40, walmart.com
“I really wanted a Cabbage Patch Kids Cornsilk doll as a kid, and when I got one, I proceeded to immediately shave her bald. I just got so excited that she had real hair and I trimmed it. I gave it a bob and then I gave it a crewcut and then I just buzzed it. The whole point was that this Cabbage Patch had long silky hair, but I got carried away with the scissors. What can you do?” —Kristen Bell, 38, The Good Place
MUST-HAVE: Cabbage Patch is releasing the Cabbage Patch Kids 35th Anniversary Edition Kids. Just like the originals, each plush doll, complete with yarn hair and a retro outfit, comes with a name, adoption papers and a birth certificate. (Scissors not included.) $40, Target
MUST-HAVES: Cuddly plush pals never go out of style, especially if they also support the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). Fill a signature WWF Wooden
Bucket with three species from among 61 (from zebras and twotoed sloths to spotted eagle rays) for a donation of $75. gifts.worldwildlife.org
