So, Christmas is somehow nine days away. WHAT?! I don’t even know where this month has gone. I’m nowhere near done with my shopping. I’ve finished with my brother and my nephew, but I still need to do some serious shopping this weekend for my mom and some friends. I thought it would be fun to do a little Christmas wishlist, something I’ve done many years before. So, without further ado, my Christmas wishlist for 2014!
1. A new pair of TOMs
I got my first pair of TOMs for Christmas two years ago and I’ve worn them ragged. They may not be the prettiest of shoes, but they are super comfortable and are one of the few types of shoes that I can wear for walking long distances. Finding a new pair under the tree would be a delight!
2. A Keurig
I would love one of these, but they are pretty pricey and it’s one of those wishes that I put on my Christmas list for funsies. I’m not a huge coffee drinker, and I don’t have a regular coffeemaker now (I usually just whip by Starbucks or drink from the coffeemaker at work when I need a java jolt.) A Keurig would be such a treat! We’ll see what Santa thinks. 😉
3. A new Vera Bradley tote
Another thing I am in desperate need of. The one I have now is fine, but I’m just ready for a new one. You know how that is. I typically only use my totes on weekdays, for traveling to and from work, but they’re so nice to have on hand.
4. The SkinnyTaste Cookbook
Probably about 80% of the recipes in my regular cooking rotation now come from SkinnyTaste, and I definitely need her cookbook. I rarely buy cookbooks, but I’ve tried so many of her recipes before and I love them all.
5. Chromecast
Watching Netflix on my iPad Mini is fine, but it’d be nice to be able to plug this into the TV and watch Netflix on a larger screen. This is a purchase I’ve been meaning to make, but keep putting off, so I added it to my Christmas list to see what Santa thinks. If not, it’s something I’ll be buying after the holidays.
6. A pair of ankle boots
I have a pair of Uggs and knee-high boots, but I really need a pair of ankle boots. Of course, Florida has maybe 1-2 months where these are necessary, but I’m really trying to bulk up my winter wardrobe because it’s in a sad state. Ankle boots would really just complete things!
7. A keyboard for my iPad
This would just be nice! I don’t use my iPad as much as I thought I would because I hate using the keyboard. It’s mainly just used for watching Netflix, reading, and sometimes playing games. I’d love to be able to use it more frequently, and a keyboard would help me do that.
8. Yes, Please by Amy Poehler
I rarely buy physical books anymore, but I have a mad girl crush on Amy Poehler and I really want to read her book! I’m on the waiting list at my library, and I may just end up buying the Kindle edition if I don’t receive this for Christmas.
What’s on your Christmas list this year?
Fun! I love reading other people’s lists. I have heard good things about Amy Poehler’s book. I might get the eBook so I can listen to it on the drives to and from my parents lake for Christmas. I make a lot of Skinnytaste recipes, too, so would like her cookbook.
You’ve already seen my wishlist. Out of everything on there, the things I hope I get the most are new slippers and the gel mat for my kitchen!
I’ve been wanting to read Amy Poehler’s book! I hear good things : )
Can’t go wrong with a good pair of Toms. There are some of my most favorite things EVER.
I just picked up some ankle boots at Nordstrom Rack; I ignore the fact they are Jessica Simpson brand because I love them and they make me feel sassy when I wear them. I need to get a new pair of knee-high brown boots as all of mine are about to be tossed. I’ve had them each for 6 years! I figure that was a good investment 🙂
I just started reading Yes Please- it’s SO good so far, definitely worth buying I think! (though I’m reading a free library book on my kindle ha ha, so maybe not the best person to ask)
Also, I love Toms. I think they are plenty pretty, and super comfortable.
Eric bought a chrome cast a couple of weeks ago and it’s definitely pretty cool! I’ve heard so many amazing things about Yes Please, it’s not really my type of book but I might just have to give it a shot.
What a great list! I asked for Amy Poehler’s book too! And my TOMS finally kicked it (no pun intended, haha) in the spring but I figure between snow and maybe my feet getting bigger during pregnancy (although I pray that doesn’t happen), I should wait until next spring for a new pair!
I would LOVE a new pair of TOMs. Mine are so cozy, and I really want some of their flats.
Those ankle boots are SUPER CUTE! And I would also love Amy Poehler’s new book.
I bought the Skinnytaste cookbook for a friend and got to take a peek! I love it (and I’ve tried many of Gina’s recipes in the past!).
Here’s my wishlist: http://www.theinbetweenismine.com/2014/12/15/a-christmas-wishlist-2/
Yes! Amy Poehler’s book is on my To Read in 2015 list.
