HOW is it that Christmas is a mere 5 days away?! I’m ready and prepared, but I just feel like the holiday season really snuck up on me this year! Today is my last day of work for 2013 and I’m looking forward to twelve uninterrupted days of quality time with my people. Bring on the festivities!Josh & I don’t normally exchange gifts for Christmas. We’re those boring people that buy things that we need or want throughout the year and I almost always have a hard time even deciding what it is I want when the holiday rolls around. We don’t buy many gifts, in general, outside of the girls and other small children in our family, but for some reason I really wanted to exchange gifts this year. Maybe it’s because I found a few things I knew Josh would really enjoy. But it could be that I happened to want a few things of my own this Christmas.

Black Minnetonka Calf High Boots via Zappos: I originally asked for black Ugg boots (which I would still be happy to have), but the thought of Josh spending $200+ kind of made my heart hurt. Again, we’re shooting for small. I did really want some casual black boots, though. Something I could slip on with leggings & a sweatshirt to run to store, but that would also look great with jeans & a pretty top. Enter the moccasin boot. I’m hoping against hope I can pull these off, because I’ve been daydreaming about how to style them for weeks!
Petite Prong Studs in Ivory via Bauble Bar: I love a good stud earring. I might never be able to afford big, shiny diamonds, but these neutral colored studs might do the trick. Something I can wear with almost everything in my closet and is classic enough that I won’t get bored with them. They come in some other really pretty colors that I wouldn’t mind adding to my jewelry dish down the line.
iPhone 4s Charger / USB Cable via Etsy: I love laying in bed at night reading or browsing Pinterest and the plug is just far enough away to put a strain on my cable. I have a glamorous extension cord hanging over my side of the bed and it really needs to be replaced! I spotted this cute cable on Etsy a few weeks ago and it seems like the perfect alternative. It’s three feet long (but you can special order any length) and it’s PINK.
Mobi 8GB SD Card via Eye-Fi: Have you seen these miraculous little things? It’s an SD card for your DSLR, but it emits a wi-fi signal that allows you to dump photos from your camera directly to your iPhone. Why didn’t I think of that?
Stencil Initial Letter Cuff via C.Wonder: This little beauty has quite the story. My friend, Beth, & I were Christmas shopping last week and stopped by the new C.Wonder store for the first time since it opened. All of their jewelry was 30% and I was gushing over how much I wanted this bracelet, but I wasn’t shopping for myself until after the holidays. She ended up buying it “for her sister-in-law” and boy was I surprised to find out on Wednesday that she was my secret Santa and it was for me all along!! We laughed all night about what a great liar she is and I haven’t taken it off since.
