Every year my husband spends weeks begging me for gift ideas, but it’s so hard for me to come up with a wishlist of things I want; it’s much easier for me to come up with gift ideas for you than it is for myself.
That said, here are some of my favorite Christmas ideas this year…and a few of these did make it onto my wishlist!
 | When Sean and I were in Charleston, SC for our anniversary a couple months ago, the condo we were renting had a Grand Hotel Collection Blanket, and it was amazing. The blanket itself is not thick, but it’s extremely heavy and warm, which I love. Actually, I loved the blanket so much that I briefly contemplated taking it with me, but I decided to add it to my Christmas wishlist instead! | |
 | Lisa Leonard Designs recently announced their new Build a Charm Bracelet, which would make an amazing gift this Christmas. Purchase the bracelet and starter charms, and each month in 2013 the recipient will receive a new charm to add to their bracelet! | |
 | I’ve been drooling over this Smart Phone Pocket Pouch for almost a year now. It’s the perfect accessory for outings where you don’t feel like carrying your whole purse because it holds not only your money, but your phone as well! | |
 | I have a thing for windchimes, and I love these musical chimes, like the Woodstock Amazing Grace Chime, which plays the notes of Amazing Grace. “How sweet the sound,” indeed! | |
 | Contigo recently sent me a collection of their Autoseal products, including the Randolph Stainless Steel Travel Mug, and this is the best travel mug I’ve ever owned. The Autoseal means you really don’t have to worry about spills, but it’s comfortable to hold and easy to use! | |
 | Help mom brave the wet weather in style with these Chooka Women’s Posh Dots Rain Boot, which color in a variety of fun colors, including berry, lime, yellow, navy and chocolate! | |
 | Or, for cold days at home, keep her toes warm with the smartdogs Womens Monique Slipper. These sweater knit slippers look soft and cozy and come in grey and white! | |
