I'm back...Holiday edition!

At the request of Porter, I will make every attempt to blog more often. After all, what are we supposed to do all day at work if we don't have our friends' lives to read about? But really...

Anyway, I figured for this post, I'd get into the holiday spirit and talk about some of the things I'm hoping to get for Christmas. Yes, it's a bit materialistic, I know. But you won't see any iPads or new Lexuses on here, so I'm at least a reasonable materialist.

C.O. Bigelow
Lemon Hand Treatment (Ultra-Moisturizing and Skin-Brightening Formula)

I'm obsessed with this stuff. My mom bought some for me last year and I thought, "oh, so she's gone on another of her Bath and Body Works shopping sprees." But in reality, this is my favorite lotion I've ever used, and I'm on the verge of running out. Since it's hard to find, I figured Mom could pick this one up as an awesome stocking stuffer...

Tea kettle



So yes, I may be dreaming when I say I want a Le Creuset tea kettle. But my parents have two, so I don't see why I can't at least get my one. They have a blue and a red one. I have a little red tea pot I got in Argentina, but I'm ready for a step up. So why not this one?!

Touch Gloves

As an iPhone (addict) user, these are going to be a must-have this winter. Because, let's be honest, NOTHING is worse than trying to text with numb fingers. And these are leather and stylish! A complete win-win for my hands and my social life.

Pashmina



Yes, I know. What kind of freak girl am I to not own a pashmina? Exactly why I am remedying this this Christmas. Come on mom, this one is only $9.99!

So I'm trying to expand my list further, but it's so hard for me. Every Christmas, I try really hard to not only ask for things I'd like, but rather things I really need. It makes sense to me to take care of both, and be practical in what I ask for. Any ideas that you may have, please feel free to share! A girl could always use some suggestions.
