Holiday Gift Ideas: My Wish List

Holiday Gift Ideas: My Wishlist

 

It’s about time to hang those holiday lights, break out the gift wrap, blast your favorite Christmas tunes at start thinking of holiday gift ideas in preparation for the festive season!

For as long as I can remember, my step mom and grandma have taken their annual Christmas shopping trip during the month of October. I’m sure you’re thinking, “That’s way too early.” Trust me, making my Christmas List before Halloween was always a bit of a struggle, but somehow I managed to survive. I used to think they were being a tad bit overzealous, but the older I get, the more I realize how their proactive planning allows them to avoid the crowds. And while the rest of the world shops frantically at the very last minute (hey dad!…kidding), they’re already onto the next big thing – Christmas candy.

I decided to spice up my wish list this year by filling it with items that I fancy, rather than the typical and practical pieces that I need (I’m looking at you, bed sheets). This was way more exciting! Santa, I sure hope you’re following along.

From Essie’s Mini Winter Nail Polish Set to unique pieces like the Sophia Reyes bow necklace (created in collaboration with Sequins & Stripes), these gifts ideas are sure to fit everyone’s shopping budget this holiday season! If you aren’t quite ready to start your holiday gift shopping, that’s okay too! You can pin this image for later and visit my gift guide board on Pinterest when you’re ready to get down to business.

I want to know, what’s on your wish list this year?!

Essie Nail Polish // Ugg Slippers // Loren Hope bracelet // Illume candle // Sam Edelman boots // Old Navy coat // Kate Spade dish // Sonia Kashuk make up brush set // Yes Please by Amy Poehler // H&M sequin clutch // J.

    I should totally duplicate your wish list! I’m hoping for a faux fur vest and Amy Poehler’s new book! That coat is beautiful and I didn’t even know I needed one! I’m also hoping for some Hunter wellies, a label maker (so lame!) and ABM cute mini photo albums. Let the holidays begin! 🙂

    I am obsessed with embellishments this season! Thinking of doing a little DIY of my own! However, I will take one of everything you’ve listed. I have to admit, I shop all year long for the holidays and I’m almost done! The early bird, right?

    Ditto on the vest & Clinique chubby sticks! Ok, and the boots. Probably wouldn’t turn down the bracelet, either 😉
