A Gift List for Me (or YOU!)


As I’ve gotten older it’s become increasingly hard to come up with ideas to give to my family, in-laws or even Gary for myself because if there is something that I really want…I buy it! Seeing as how that takes the fun out of gift giving, this year I waited on a few things that I knew I wanted, but held off on purchasing in order to have ideas for people! So in case you’re still on the hunt for a nice little treat for someone on your list – here’s what I’ve added to mine! 


~All pictures in the photo above are clickable~




I’ve actually outgrown the makeup organizer that I got last year for Christmas and ever since Pamela mentioned this one a few months back I couldn’t get it out of my mind. What I love most is the top portion that holds the harder to store items! For only $20 if this isn’t gifted to me in a couple of weeks, then I’m 100% buying it! 



I’m not sure you’d all believe me on the price tag for this passport holder…$4.34 and how darling is it! It comes in 4 different colors with 4 different designs. I feel like I should get this one for every woman in my family that likes to travel!! Sadly it wont be delivered in time for Christmas, but there is always a New Years present! 





I’m a minimalist when it comes to my phone case – since I have the gold iPhone I want that to show through and I just love this Rose all day case– I think it would be even cuter if I end up getting the rose gold iPhone next year! 



I’ve been trying to amp up my coffee table book game and came across this Bright Lights Paris book – it’s basically the perfect book filled with the most beautiful photos of Pairs which works for anyone that’s in love with the city of LOVE! 



I usually leave it up to Gary with the jewelry that he buys for me, but when I spot something that I know I like and will wear, I send him a link and basically say “THIS” in the subject line! It’s a win/win because he knows he’s getting me something I’ll wear and I know I’m getting something I like…let’s see if I’ll be getting these earrings this year!



If you follow me on SnapChat then you know I had Sugarfina gummy bears a few weeks ago and they are seriously the most delicious gummy bears ever – what makes these even more delicious…they arechampagne infused! Who can say no to that?






I mentioned a desk calendar last week in my favorites, but what I failed to mention was that I actually added it to my wish list…here’s hoping this pretty one will be sitting on my desk come January 2!! 





I’m not going to lie – getting a pair of Valentino Rock stud flats would be an incredible Christmas gift, but seriously unrealistic. Since I’m very hard on my flats, I’d rather a pair for such a low price I could ask for 10 and not even come close to the price of one Valentino pair – the ones I have my eye on are under $15!! Now if we’re talking a Valentino purse – that’s a different story and would be happy with the real deal! 




I’ll be 100% honest (and maybe even a little cheesy) but I really just want my family and loved ones to be healthy and happy – everything else is just gravy!!




Did you ask for anything specific this year? Do you still make a gift list?

    I have that acrylic organizer and those shoes and I'm obsessed! And I definitely need to order a desk calendar ASAP! Love the one you picked! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

    I have the acrylic organizer and it is TOTALLY worth the $20 price tag. I hope Santa, or one of his elves gifts it to you this year, but if not, go get one at Bed Bath and Beyond–and use the 20% off coupon too (or Amazon). I need a desk calendar for work–loving what you ended up going with!

    Fabulous finds!!! I saw those bears and wondered if they were tasty! I so need a passport holder, always afraid I'll loose mine, this one is perfection! Fun stuff and I hope you get every one of these but more importantly love the sweet sentiment about your loved ones, sweet and precious as can be!!

    I agree that finding gifts for myself is difficult. My parents always ask what I want and I can never give her an answer. I love those calendars though! I've been searching for a new one for my office at work!

    That phone case is everything! And hoping that makeup organizer is waiting for you under the tree! I have a similar one, and it's amazing how much it fits and you can't beat how chic it looks too. Win-win <3

    I've been really horrible about starting to shop for someone else and then being like…but actually I would look better in this so I'm just going to get it. Whoops. Probably why I have gone overbudget so much!

    I love that there is a cheap alternative in FLATS to the Valentino rockstud trend. I've loved it, but I'm not much of a heels girl and it's out of my budget. Maybe now I can rock the look.

    Those are some great picks! I like those flats, too. I agree Valentino's would be great – but I would hate to wear them for fear of ruining them for the price! Hope you get what's on your list.

    Oh gosh, gummy bears are my favorite. Champagne infused?! Sign me up! I have a hard time with a wish list…usually I just browse and try to come up with a few things, but I always end up finding stuff I like better as the season goes on…a lot of that comes from reading blogs!

    I love the makeup organzier and the passport holder. I'm with you on the Valentino Rock Stud flats. Besides, I'd rather spend money on shoes that have heels or wedges. I have a hard time spending a lot on flats even though I do wear them a lot.
    All I want for Christmas is for things to slow down and have time to actually enjoy myself.
