Employee Wish List: Chris Woodhead
See what the Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
Employee: Chris Woodhead, Field Display Manager
(Check out his band, Old Arrows!)
What he wants:
I’ve been looking for a vintage motorcycle jacket for a while now, but if I had a brand new one like this, I would get to do the fun part and beat the heck out of it.
You can wear them with socks and no one can mess with you! I really like the contrasting wool and leather construction these have going on.
What dude isn’t down with Carhartt brown? No dude, that’s who. I like the not super-skinny, but not construction-site-ready cut chosen for these.
This brand is made in the USA but is usually only found overseas, so I was stoked to see we are carrying a few pieces. The pink and green combo is crazy (crazy good!), and I love the techy, mountaineering inspired aesthetic.
The whole CPO line is great. This piece would be awesome with an OBD shirt, the Carhartt pants I picked, and a 60/40 parka.
What Would Uncle Jesse Want?
Jesse Katsopolis was the hottest uncle to ever grace our TV screens. From the first episode, Danny Tanner's younger step-brother became a major heart-throb, stealing the hearts of girls young and old. Even though he was a smooth, motorcycling musician, with great hair and a too-cool attitude, he was sweet, funny and the best babysitter ever. We even liked him when he threw temper tantrums, acted like a diva and tried running away. But his love for the girls, well just Michelle really, always brought him back. Here's what we think this hunka hunka uncle would be asking for during A Very Tanner Christmas.
The Uncle Jesse uniform usually involves some light-washed jeans, a plain T-shirt and a tough leather jacket. (Lucky for him, we don't pick out his clothes. We'd choose something a little more comfortable. Have mercy!)
Whether he's playing with his band Jesse and the Rippers, practicing in his studio or just singing to the girls, Uncle J needs a badass guitar!
As much as we'd love to run our fingers through his luscious locks, we're pretty sure he'd prefer we don't. ("No, not the hair!") We think he'd like this Fatboy Perfect Putty Hair Paste to keep his Elvis do in place—and safe from the ladies.
Jesse would want this Beach Boys record, not only to support his famous friends, but to practice their songs for an impromptu jam session!
Hey YoYo
Hey YoYo is seriously the Etsy store of our dreams. With cupcake papers, cake toppers and swizzle sticks, it has all your party needs and more (Macho Man Cake Topper anyone?). Our plans for holiday parties just got a whole lot sweeter.
Field Guide Design

Employee Wish List: Esther Choi
See what the Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
Employee: Esther Choi, Graphic Designer
What she wants:
This blazer would be easy to wear over a fancy dress or casual washed out skinny jeans.
HUF Plantlife Christmas Stocking
HUF's Plantlife Christmas Stocking will let Santa know exactly what you want your stocking stuffed with. Just make sure to hide the cookies from him, you know you'll want them later.
What Would Veronica and JD Want?
Veronica Sawyer and Jason Dean (JD) from the cult classic Heathers are your typical high school couple. They get slushies, play strip croquet and kill the most popular kids at school on the weekends. We know, we know. That doesn't seem normal. But they completely deserved it! With friends like Heather Chandler, Heather Duke and Heather McNamara, who needs enemies? So, if Veronica and JD inherit five million dollars the same day aliens land on the earth and say they're going to blow it up in two days, we think this is how they would spend it.
Veronica would definitely appreciate this notebook; we can just hear her reading the cover in her most sarcastic tone. Plus, she needs something to draft her future suicide notes in.
They could use a new coffee mug for JDs infamous "wake-up cup full of liquid drainer." Plus, Veronica can tell a Heather how beautiful she is again without even having to say it.
It may be a little flashy, but we think Veronica would enjoy this '80s sequin blazer. We're just not sure if she would wear it to prom or to hell.
In a land of swatch dogs and Diet Coke-heads, JD is a complete outsider—especially in fashion. Since the bomb blew up his last coat, we think he'd like this leather jacket as a replacement. It's no trench, but it's definitely big enough to keep a gun in (one that only shoots blanks, of course).
With cool guys like JD out of her life, Veronica's the new sheriff in town. We just think she might like to reminisce about all the good times they had with these Stackable Initial Rings. (Well, we would anyway. JD may have been a mass-murderer but he was still a mega-babe. RIP!)
2012 Calendar of Silly Holidays
Dirty Bandit's 2012 Calendar of Silly Holidays will give you a couple good reasons to celebrate the new year. From National High Five Day to Take Your Houseplants For A Walk Day (seriously?), they're giving you 12 more excuses to have some fun.
Employee Wish List: Galen Wang
See what the Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
Galen Wang, Merchandise Assistant for Knits
1. Filson Tin Cloth Tote BagWhat he wants:
I know I’d carry this tote bag everyday and everywhere, and I know it’ll form its unique look through time while keeping everything inside timeless.
"When it is dark out, your subconscious starts to prevail.” If that’s the case I’d like everything around me to look like it too.
Gaga x Terry, 'nuff said.
Becky Brisco

Gift Couture
If someone wrapped our presents in this Gift Couture Cheeseburger wrapping paper set, we would probably just leave them under the tree for a few weeks and let our mouths water. Check out their Kickstarter to learn more!
Weetzie Bat as imagined by Wildfox.
What Would Weetzie Want?
Francesca Lia Block's early '90s series of young adult novels, Dangerous Angels, are unforgettable. With a dreamy Los Angeles landscape and a cast of characters with names such as Weetzie Bat, Witch Baby and My Secret Agent Lover Man, Block plunged her readers into a world that tread a smokey line between reality and fairytale.
Weetzie as imagined by Autumn De Wilde and Shirley Kurata for Paper Magazine.
Shop the Gift Center
Weetzie Bat was a punk pixie who believed in wishing on pink cars, slam dancing in mosh pits, wearing whatever she wanted, and supporting her best friend Dirk no matter what. Here's what we think Weetzie would wish for this December—in addition to My Secret Agent Lover Man, of course.
A perfect place to keep the keys to Grandma Fifi's cottage.
Rose-colored glasses, for seeing the world through...
Weetzie was both a wild fox and a little lamb.
Fancy dresses best accessorized with a rubber chicken.
Comfy creepers are a must for a night of slam-dancing, otherwise you'll never make it to Oki-Dogs afterwards.
Rubber chicken! Slinkster cool.
And for those, like us, who wish that there were an infinite number of Weetzie Bat books, Block's Weetzie prequel, Pink Smog, comes out in January! Lanky Lizards!
3D Christmas Advent Calendar
This Christmas Advent calendar from the Finnish design company Houm is a three-dimensional little room that, at first, looks pretty normal. But once the days go by you can open it up and discover that pieces of the room contain a seasonal surprise. It's such a creative, and pretty, idea for an Advent calendar! - Hazel
Employee Wish List: Samantha Fletcher
See what the Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
Employee: Samantha Fletcher, Junior Web-Stylist
What she wants:
I love this YMC toggle coat. The style and the camel color are perfect and can go with almost everything.
These shorts are the cutest, love the shiny foil look.
These broken-in Doc Martens are the best and are so comfy! I want them in every color, but I am especially into the white ones.
Polaroid film is just a classic. It's the best way to keep track of your memories.
What Would Cher and Dionne Want?
Cher Horowitz and Dionne Davenport are like, totally the most popular girls at Bronson Alcott High School. Whether they're dishing on dudes or making over one of their clueless friends, they are always the best dressed people in the room (unless Christian is around, of course). Here's what we think these BFFs would be asking for this holiday, aside from Luke Perry and Murray with hair.
A plaid skirt, thigh-highs, and a white collared shirt are school essentials, because having the right outfit is just as important as getting good grades.
Showing up to class looking like they just rolled out of bed? As if! Here are some headbands that will give them that preppy put-together look and keep their hair out of their eyes while they're debating.
Where would Cher be without her signature skin-tight dress? And yes Mel, they ARE dresses. We think she would be butt-crazy in love with this Rodebjer Mira Tank Dress!
Bright red lipstick for Dionne is a must. Being popular means always being prepared, even if you're just making a cameo at a Val party.
For their next non-school book of the week, we think they'd enjoy flipping through 100 Ideas That Changed Fashion to help them with their makeovers of the ensembly challenged.
Finally, the Mystic Predict-a-Pen, for the answers to all of those deep philosophical questions Cher asks herself. (Did my hair get flat? Did I stumble into some bad lighting? What's wrong with me?)
What Would Kelly Want?
'Tis the season to be a badass chick! Kelly Bundy from the TV show Married With Children would want a lot of leather and skin-tight ensembles for Christmas. With her tough Valley Girl vibes and party girl attitude, Kelly would know how to have a super awesome time this holiday season. Here's what we think she would want for Xmas!
She'd definitely want a super body-con slinky dress to attract all the dudes. But literally, ALL the dudes.
This chunky platform black leather heel seems perfect for Kelly Bundy.
Kelly would love these cross earrings because she's, like, super religious and all. Wait, or maybe, like, not?
How can Kelly make her hair even more bitchin'? With these awesome clip-in hair extensions!
And the brightest red lipstick ever, to leave her mark when she smooches a hot dude. -Hazel

Employee Wish List: Flavia Cervantes
See what the Urban Outfitters employees are asking for this holiday season!
What she wants:
I love our Around The World collection. The garden print on this Stolen Girlfriends Club dress is just so dreamy!
There are no words to accurately describe how much I adore this little dog!
These speakers are the perfect culmination of my two addictions: shoes and hip-hop.
Happy Thanksgiving!
