Every year my family is supposed to finalize our Christmas lists by Thanksgiving. When I was coming up with mine, this is what came to mind:
- New tires for my car
- Our carpet replaced
- Hire me an electrician to fix the broken outlets in our house
- New blinds in our bedroom
- Exterminator services
- Cloth diapers
But since that’s completely unsatisfying for the giver and receiver, instead I’m asking for these things:
- Keurig Elite – as much as I love my French Press regular coffee, I think I’d love the Keurig to save me time and give me more options.
- The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides – It’s the next book for #twookclub, too popular to get from the library in time, and since it’s by one of my favorite authors I know I’ll want to own it anyway.
- Tech Candy iPhone case – mine is chipped and this is the cutest, most versatile case I’ve seen.
- LUSH Alkmaar soap – these soaps are perfect, except that they’re a little pricey and melt kinda fast so I never buy them for myself.
- Earrings – I wear the same two pairs of stud earrings all the time, so I want to expand my collection.
- Cloth diapers – so what if I left them on the list…for “Meredith”?
Also on Meredith’s list are classic children’s books, Robeez socks, and baby leg warmers. What’s on your Christmas list?
From spring:
I selected The Marriage Plot for my book club! Started it yesterday! :)
From Suburban Sweetheart:
I just learned that there’s a Lush in Harvard Square, where I visit with some regularity. I am SO SO SO HAPPY.
