Wishes Under the Christmas Tree
I am so behind! I had meant to begin posting some holiday gift ideas the week of Thanksgiving, and it just got away from me. I rounded up some of the items that I'm hoping are waiting for me under the Christmas tree in a few weeks, and think you'll enjoy a lot of them too either to treat yourself or to give to others.
Side note - Lil' Miss and I baked our first batch of Christmas cookies this season over the weekend. Her favorites are the Creme de Menthe cookies that we used to use the Andes (green) baking chips for, and we can't seem to find them anywhere. Last year I could no longer find them at Target, Walmart of Publix so I ordered a bag from Amazon which of course was price gauged. That should have been the sign that they were discontinued. This year I couldn't even find them there, and ended up just getting a bag of the red baking chips in a recent Target Drive Up order which we'll use for cocoa peppermint cookies. Since Lil' Miss reallllly wanted to make these, I picked up Andes mints and chopped them up and voila - we have Creme de Menthe cookies.

I have loved my old Kate Spade Felicia sneakers (perhaps a little too much!) since 2019 when I went on my first world tour for work. They were perfect and oh so comfy for all the walking through airports, site seeing, and running around convention centers. I still love to pair them with shorts, skirts, athleisure looks etc... but they are tired ya'll. Enter this pair which are on sale!
Speaking of travel we are hoping to either head to Iceland (hoping to squeeze Ireland or Scotland in there too!) or on an Alaska Cruise in the new year. After experiencing the incredible splendors of the Alaska Cruise I went on with work last year (my last hurrah before being laid off), I came back saying we all HAD to go experience it together. I'm pretty set with the colder weather gear, but this ribbed beanie was too cute to pass up.
I still can't get enough Kenny Flowers pieces, and added their new long sleeve wrap dress and this resort dress in the most darlin Aperol Spritz print to my wish list.
I'm also swooning over this showstopping skirt for all the holiday fun, and need this acrylic dry erase calendar for my home office.
I used to ask for perfume every year, but it's been a while since I received a fresh new bottle. I still can't resist this scent that I've loved since college. Forever a classic. I also finally caved and want to try contouring to up my makeup look game. My makeup routine is pretty basic, and I'd love to glow a little more on date nights and girls night out. I keep seeing this stick on TikTok, and have officially been influenced.
I'm currently storing my jewelry on a necklace tree and ring dishes, but think this jewelry organizer will fit seamlessly in my closet. Or on this table that I'd use as a vanity.
