Yes, there is a lot going on in the world right now (and the US government is certainly going through some stuff) but it’s Christmastime and I want to be a bit frivolous. Today, I’m sharing my personal Christmas wishlist items just for funsies. And also, in case my husband needs to last minute shop, he can use this to get me something I want, ha!
1} Mark & Graham Elisabetta Hazelnut Sauvage Leather Slouch Handbag
I have this tote in grey and I love it and wear it quite a bit. I rotate my handbags every quarter or so and my grey one is about to come out for the new year! But, I love the Hazelnut color and vintage quality of the Sauvage leather. This will definitely be my next handbag purchase!
2} Onyx Facial Roller
Jade rollers are everywhere and I’d take one of them as well, but I love black (see here) and Onyx has great properties for your skin.
3} Blender/Food Processor Combo
We do not have a blender or a food processor in the house. We need one. Cabinet space is always limited so a combo is a great solution.
4} Jim Beam Black Extra Aged Bourbon
This is my personal Christmas wishlist so it has to include alcohol. I love whiskey (Old Fashioneds are one of my favor drinks) and although I haven’t tried it yet, Jim Beam Black is supposed to be awesome. I’m willing to give it my honest review.
5} DevaCurl Microfiber Towel
Microfiber towels are really good for keeping curly hair less frizzy. I definitely need one for when I let my natural curls come out.
6} Salted Caramel Cocoa
World Market has my favorite kind but they recently changed the packaging and maybe even the formulation to dark chocolate. I bet it’s still delicious because I love almost anything with salted caramel! This Archer Farms version from Target is also yummy!
7} Amazing Grace Gift Set by philosophy
The Amazing Grace scent is one of my favorite fragrance profiles ever. It’s just so clean and feminine. I usually restock for myself at Christmastime and take advantage of sales and points offers from stores like Sephora.
8} A Cozy Faux Fur Throw
I love anything warm, cozy, and fuzzy. There are enough blankets in my home to keep a hockey team warm but I can never have enough. I don’t own a fur version and I am really into these from Pottery Barn.
9} A Colorful Office Chair
My office/craft room/sewing room has a broken chair. Obviously a new one is on my Christmas Wishlist this year. I need to make that space more functional and sew more so a cute and comfortable chair is a necessity.
10} A Bag of Sonic Ice
I chew ice. However, I only chew pebble ice. There are only 2 kinds of pebble ice I chew and they are Sonic or Chick-Fil-A. Sonic is the best ice, hand down. I go through a bag every 2 weeks or so. I have it on my personal Christmas Wishlist because I want my husband to gift me with a lifetime supply so I don’t have to go get it myself. It’s the little things. And I know they have counter top pebble ice-makers but they are out of budget… maybe one day!
I’d like to add a disclaimer that I would love for hunger and poverty to end and I would love to wish for World Peace. With that said, in my little sphere of the world, giving to causes important to my heart is my small way of making a difference.
Here are the charities I give to:
- Dallas Life Foundation
- Genesis Women’s Shelter
- Women’s Refugee Commission
- Orphan Outreach
- Doctors Without Borders
- The Jane Goodall Institute
Whether frivolous or philanthropic, tell us what’s on your personal Christmas wishlist this year or share what you received!
God bless you all and Happy Holidays!
