Even with less than two hours left in 2024 here in London, I’m still in disbelief that it’s almost over.

This year was full of major personal and professional developments, including a new job and a new home. I had to reevaluate my daily, weekly and monthly routines and set new priorities. I tested my skills and relished the opportunity to grow as a writer and editor. This year was challenging at times but also very rewarding.

I also switched up my posting schedule for MIDDI, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t find some things I truly loved. In this edition, I’m sharing my top three buys from 2024 that I’ll be carrying into the next twelve months. Check out each of these featured editions to learn more about why I’d spend the money on them again and again.

Happy holidays to you and yours — I’ll see you in 2025.

I’m still starting my nightly skincare routine every evening with HoliFrog Tashmoo Water Lily Milky Wash ($15 to $48) from A Gentler Approach:

I spent most of the summer and well into autumn in my red pair of Rothy’s Mary Janes (£180) from Summer Simplicity:

From sparkling water to Pimm’s, I’ve been serving up all sorts of tasty refreshments in my Fable Glassware Set (£122) from Let's Try This Again:
