However I figured I would share with you my Christmas list. This is what I shared with my loved ones - each year we provide one another with lists as guidelines and in hopes we don't have to do a bunch of returns come January. We usually don't stick to the list, but it's a great guideline to understand what that person is interested in that year. In fact, I found my list from last year and those items I asked for and didn't get I wouldn't want this year. But this is what I am feeling at the end of 2011:
Now some of these aren't exact, so I won't share the specific Polyvore links, but I do desire:
- Fashion books, especially those about Tom Ford and Diane von Furstenberg
- Touch gloves, so I can tweet while keeping my fingers toasty
- StriVectin Eye Concentrate - I keep hearing such good things about this stuff but it's far out of my regular beauty price range
- DiorShow mascara - another beauty splurge and always a wonderful holiday gift
- Subscription to Rolling Stone and a renewal to Real Simple - these two (and Bazaar) are my absolute favorite magazines
- A fancy candle. Another thing I would never buy myself but love getting as a gift
- Fun dish towels. We don't use paper towels, so I really love my collection of dish and tea towels. The quirkier the better.
- White serving dishes. While I love color in 99% of my life, I love the simplicity of white serving dishes. It's also easier to create a collection at any price point. When I host a party I often end up borrowing serving platters and bowls from relatives and friends so it would be nice to add to my current collection.
So what is on your grown-up gift list? Are these things you dream of, things you save up and buy yourself, or things you hope to receive from loved ones?
