Holiday Wish List

 

1. Beeswax wax melts or a beeswax candle. I have heard so many good reviews of melting beeswax, compared to regular candles or melts. I made a note months ago to put one on my Christmas list.

2. A new cozy winter-themed blanket.  We have another like this and it's been a favorite for 10 years now. 

3. I always find myself ordering a new planner over Christmas break. While I have enjoyed my Erin Condren this past year, I want something large and flat for next year. I've always liked the Blue Sky planners. 

4. Hourglass blush. I prefer a powder blush. This is my favorite one and I've been out for awhile. 

5. A heated neck wrap is an absolute must, in my opinion. Last year, a parent at school gave me a $10 one from TJ Maxx and I have used that thing no less than 300 times in the last 350ish days. It is so great for those I-slept-wrong injuries and also for tension and stress relief. Now it has a hole in it so I'd like another one. 

6. A Clare V. Moyen Messenger is something I've been eyeing up for awhile. Scott told me he wanted nothing for his birthday, which is next week, and then he asked me "....what do you want? So I can financially prepare" because my birthday is in January. This would be it but I don't know that I'm ready to insist on it, you know? I also kind of have a thing for the green one. 

What's on your wish list this year? 

Christmas Wish List

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we can post Christmas lists, right?  Are you shopping today? I'm not because it's cold out and there's no need for dealing with crowds.  A day off of work should be spent in absolute relaxation, away from tons of people, in my opinion.  I've been accomplishing chores and checking tasks off my to-do list all week.  This is Christmas tree day.

I don't see an issue with decorating before Thanksgiving and I do shop well before Thanksgiving because I have to get our gifts ready to mail home to Pennsylvania.  However, I take issue with running out at 3pm (shame on you, JCPenney) on Thanksgiving to buy crap you don't need.  Like, what do you need that badly? If it's not a food item, it can wait until Friday (afternoon). You, again, don't need to leave the house at 3am for fleece blankets and kitchen gadgets you'll never use.

However, if you're looking for ideas for what to get me for Christmas...

*There are NO affiliate links here, so click away :)*

Socks.  I honest to goodness need socks.  I like these from Target. And super warm socks, like hunting socks ...only for me to wear while I watch t.v., not while I hunt (obviously). Scott is getting tired of me stealing his.

These boots from Madden Girl.  I love them a lot. And if you're buying them for me, let me know. I have a coupon and will use it ASAP, otherwise.

Mukluk boots.  My current Bear Paw ones are from 2010 and kind of starting to fall apart.

Combat boots.  I'm into shoes and socks right now I guess.

One of these J.Crew (Factory) vests.  They're lovely. Bought this for half off.  That felt good. I was not paying $108 for a vest.

An Athleta gift card. 

A Nordstrom gift card. For all those purses I always want to buy.

New living room pillows.  Blankets are always good too.

I also lovelovelove getting books for Christmas.

And my birthday is in January, so save this post as a bookmark (mom)...


What do you want for Christmas???
