All I want for Christmas

As a child I was infamous for making the longest most detailed Christmas wish lists EVER.

Literally...I would pull open the JCPenney catalog, grab a notebook and a pen, and would continue to document the page, item number, and description of each and every toy I was interested in.

My poor parents. I cannot lie, I was always quite spoiled come Christmas time.

My Christmas wants are quite different these days. My mother asked if there was anything I was in need of so that her and my dad and my brother, sister, and in-laws could get me some small things to unwrap while I was home (nothing big, as I hate the trouble of trying to fly back with tons of new stuff!).

It's amazing how practical my wish list has become. I asked for a gift card to Bed, Bath, & Beyond, some gift cards to Target, more of my perfume that I wear (Paris Hilton Can Can...I'm addicted), and some stud earrings to put in my second ear piercings (I have somehow lost all my small earrings here or there...wonder how that happened!).

Hefty list I tell you. The gift cards are the big part...I can never afford to buy all the things I want for my apartment, so hopefully this will help with all of that. I need a new bedspread and some new sheets, I want to get a blender and food processor, and maybe even a nice fancy mixer for my kitchen too, so that all of my baking/cooking is much easier :).

But I do have a little secret list of random unnecessary things that I have been coveting. I figure if I put them all in this blog posting, maybe that will be a way for me to keep track of them and keep crossing them off as I'm able to afford them!

Horse shoe ring by Early Jewelry

-me...horsey-themed jewelry...NEVER!


Cuppie the Cupcake Magnets from Cakespy (right here in Seattle!)
-cupcakes with unicorns and robots (ummmm HELLO!)

















A FEED bag
-cause I want to do my part and feed those Kenyan children! (the bag is pretty damn sweet too)



Berry Merry Dress from ModCloth

-THIS DRESS SHALL BE MINE. NEW YEAR'S BETTER WATCH OUT...THIS IS IT!



I Love Macarons

-I want to learn how to make these little lovelies. :)
















Venetian-Style Champagne Flutes from Napa Style

-I love my champagne, and MIMOSAS. And I STILL don't own any champagne flutes. Period. This is a sad thing.



Rainbow Sandals
-I've been due for a new set of these since I left Arizona. Even though I don't get to use them as much in Seattle, I feel lost without these!



FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) Sparkle Motion earphones from Skull Candy
-can't go wrong with the Skull Candy...and the reference to Donnie Darko that goes with these ear buds just cannot be ignored.



Green Picnic Charcoal Grill from the Serious Eats Store
-for those random day bbq's I've soooo been wanting to go on with a friend or two




New York Times dinnerware from Fishs Eddy

-Sigh. One of these days.

And FINALLY, something that I did order for myself this Christmas:



O'CLOCK Yellow Watch

-cause yellow is my favorite color. Bow chicka bow bow!



Yeah, I think that seems like a pretty well-rounded and complete list to me. :)

Back to the holiday shopping....have a great weekend!
