Oh, hi there! I hope you all had a glorious Tgiving. I know I did. I did a LOT of sitting and a lot of hanging with my nephews, which was very cute. I also watched some Harry Potter with my family and I hate to jump the gun but…do I spy the makings of a Thanksgiving tradition?
Anywho, now it's December, and (for those of us who celebrate), we have less time than usual to prepare for X-mas! Never fear, for I have prepared amazing gift guides for you all to help get those wheels a turnin' in your brains. First up, the little lady or
PYT on your list. If you're like me, this is just a list of things you want for yourself.
1. Socks. I believe the black-hole-in-the-dryer theory because seriously I never ever ever have enough socks. J Crew's socks are warm and grown up but still cheeky, and if you wait for a sale (like NOW! 30% with the code HOLIDAY), you can scoop up a bunch at once.
2. I am a big bag girl. I think it's partially a New York thing? I'm constantly carrying work stuff, my planner, my charger, a water bottle, snacks, makeup, enough Tylenol for the entire city of Manhattan…you get the picture. On my trip to Ireland, I brought a tiny cross body bag and I felt FREE! I felt so free and wonderful. This one is nice and itsy and versatile…and can easily be stuffed into a larger bag just in case...
3. A little personal style resolution I have is to wear more earrings. I love emeralds this time of year, and these would be a great way to take a simple outfit -think plain white button down and black slacks for work- to sparkle level pretty instantly.
4. My iPhone case has seen better days. To be fair, I drop my phone more than I would like to admit, and it's time to graduate. I feel like a lot of cases are too bright or cheesy; I like that this case is simple and still fun.
5. Had to sneak some plaid in here. You all have got to get yourselves a pair of texting gloves. They have changed my life! No longer do my hands freeze to death while sending a text or looking up directions. Tech gloves are, in a word, convenient.
6. A Pendleton blanket is absolutely on my list this year. I use throws on the couch year round- for warmth in the winter and snuggle factor in the summer- so the more, the better. These are large and colorful, two prerequisites for throws in this household.
7. I'm a bit worried about Charlie's reaction if we did get something like this. But it's just so precious!
8. Candles are another requirement in my house. I have the Linnea's Lights Pumpkin scented candle and it's the best smelling pumpkin item I've ever experienced in my life. I'm not a fan of Christmas tree scented candles, so for winter time I like to switch to a wood burning scented candle. Santa, I won't mind this under the tree this year!
What's on your list this year? What do you think of my recommendations?
