9 Things on my Christmas List
I love presents! Like most adults, I love giving much more than getting. Getting is just awkward. I always end up sounding not genuine and make high-pitched squeaky noises that make everyone involved in the transaction uncomfortable. But I also feel so special, loved, and wanted when someone gives me a gift. You thought of meeeee??? insert the biggest and fattest heart emoji.
I also don't like when people ask me, "so, what do you want for Christmas?" Again, awkward. I don't like it at all. But then again, I do love giving a present with the utmost confidence that it's that perfect thing they wanted --- knowing they are going to L-O-V-E it. So, I also think that it's only fair that others get to feel that same joy when they are giving me a gift. Which is the only reason I give hints or in this case, make a public announcement of what's on my wish list for Santa and his helpers. And if you can get me only one thing...#9 with the sweetest little red bow would be amazing.
LINKS CAN BE FOUND ON THE PICTURES and BELOW.
1.) Tokyo Milk Dark Tainted Love Perfume | Southmoon Under | This came in my BirchBox several months ago and I love it. I found it cheaper at Southmoon Under. You're welcome.
2.) Saela Knit Cuff Boot | Ugg | Seal Suede | Nordstrom | I had two pairs of Ugg boots. I can't find either pair. I have two daughters ages 21 and 14. Neither knows where to find my boots. These are like my winter flip flops. I miss my winter flip flops.
3.) Toms Slippers | Toms | It's cold in our house and especially in my office. Warm fuzzy socks are great, but sometimes you just want to wear a nice pair of slippers.
4.) Faux Fur Coat | Forever41, I mean 21 | This is completely NOT practical and I would never buy it for myself. I'll probably only wear it once or twice a season but it looks so fancy. Ok, maybe it looks so bougie, but whatevs. I am what I am.
5.) Hunter Boots | Zappos | Both Lela and Emily have a pair and I highjack them often. It's about time I had my very own pair.
6.) Mason Weekend Bag | Sole Society | Nordstrom | Not practical since I don't travel for work like I used to, but I love this bag. I've had my eye on it for years.
7.) Swell Water Bottle | Starbucks | This holiday season Starbucks is offering Swell bottles with adorable floral and paisley patterns. Swell partnered with Liberty London to create six one-of-a-kind bottles using prints from the Liberty archives. These are sold exclusively at Starbucks and you can't buy them online. Nope. In an effort to get people actually interacting with people, Starbucks took down their online store in the hopes of getting the humbugs out and about spreading holiday cheer in their brick and mortar storefronts. It's been so hard for me NOT to buy this for myself.
8.) SPF 15 Energy-Boosting Moisturizer with Tint Release | Origins | This is my favorite moisturizer. Most days its the only thing I wear on my face. It's the best moisturizer for my face and when I come back a minute later, I look sun-kissed.
9.) For mankind to be kind.
