*Disclaimer* I have no expectations of actually receiving any of these items. I made this list strictly for fun...and maybe to give you a few gift ideas if you happen to know someone who would enjoy them. Also, some of the links below are affiliate links, which means that if you purchase that item, a small percentage of the price you pay comes back to me, at no additional cost to you. Now let's get started!
One, Two, Three, & Four I love a good holiday PJ, and this year I'm dying to get my hands on these adorable, hilarious tees from Saturday Morning Pancakes. Pairing them with some cute lounge pants from Old Navy makes for the perfect comfy combo.
Five I have been drooling over the bandanas from Hemlock Goods ever since I first saw them. Such gorgeous patterns! They've just released a new set, and I'm pretty sure I need them all.
Six I had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer Wilson of Simple Scrapper when I was interviewed for her podcast, so when she announced that she had designed a tee celebrating books and crafts, I knew it had to be on my list!
Seven & Eight If there is anything in this world I love more than coffee, it's pups. So when I first learned about Grounds & Hounds, I was immediately smitten. They donate 20% off all their profits to organizations that help give sheltered animals a chance to be rescued, and that is a cause I can get behind.
I have to admit that I haven't done nearly as much reading this year as I usually do, and I'm feeling a bit guilty about it. So I'm determined to do better next year, and these five books are the top on my list.
One Elise released this amazing book earlier this year, and I have yet to get my hands on a copy. It looks absolutely gorgeous, and it's full of inspirational and motivational nuggets, making it the perfect way to start the new year.
Two I was so excited when I heard that Michelle Obama was releasing a book! I heard her speak at ALA in 2018, and I was so inspired to get a copy when it came out...and then I didn't. Like I said, I've been abysmally bad at reading lately. The good news is that there is now a guided journal to go along with Becoming, so a part of me is kinda glad I was a reading slacker, so that now I can get the two together.
Three I read Felicia Day's first book a few year's back and loved it. I can't wait to read her newest book, Embrace Your Weird: Face Your Fears and Unleash Creativity. It promises to be both entertaining and informational, and what more can you ask for in a book?
Four I've been purposefully staying away from Atwood's new Handmaid's Tale sequel, because I honestly wasn't sure I was ready for what is sure to be an upsetting read. But I can't handle the suspense anymore. I need to know what happens!
Five I've loved everything I've ever read by Elizabeth Gilbert, and based on the reviews, this book isn't likely to ruin that streak.
One It's not secret that I struggle with stamping, which is why so many of my wish list items are related to that art. I've been thinking of investing in a stamp platform for a while, and I think it might be time. There are lots of options out there, but this is the one I've heard to most positive praise of.
Two I've seen so many people play with the new Foil Quill Freestyle Pens, and the results are amazing! I can't wait to try them out for myself!
Three I think I have seriously underestimated the value of a good set of acrylic blocks when it comes to stamping success. This bundle from Scrapbook.com has all the sizes I need.
Four The next year's new releases are just around the corner, so I've added a Scrapbook.com gift certificate to my list in preparation.
Five There's been a lot of buzz about this book lately. It's very similar to the Flow Book for Paper Lovers, but is much easier to get stateside. I'm a big fan of Flow, but I'd be willing to give this competitor a try.
Six Pinkfresh Studio recently released a line of dye inks, and I'm pretty sure I'd be willing to throw out every other ink I own in exchange for a full set of these gorgeous, colorful cubes.
Is it weird to ask for food on your holiday wish list? No, not at all.
One If you've been around here for any amount of time at all, then you know I love coffee. And in my book, there's nothing better than a sipping a seasonal blend on Christmas morning. I haven't tried this one yet, but it's bound to be amazing! Grounds and Hounds also has some pretty awesome gift bundles that would be perfect for the coffee drinking, puppy loving people on your list.
Two Yes, you know I love coffee, but a lesser-known fact about myself is that I enjoy a good cup of tea regularly throughout the cold months. My favorite at the moment is this peppermint/green tea blend from Celestial Seasonings. I toured their factory several years ago, and I can still easily recall the sensation of standing in the peppermint room. If you're ever near Boulder, Colorado, I would highly recommend stopping by.
Three If I'm not sipping coffee or tea, I likely have a cup of hot chocolate in my hand. Though I generally try to stay away from sweet drinks, hot chocolate is an indulgence I allow myself a few times throughout the winter. I'm partial to dark chocolate, personally, and nobody does dark chocolate better than Godiva.
Four The Alternative Baking Company makes some of the most delicious gluten-free cookies I've ever tasted in my life. They're soft and chewy and full of flavor, which may seem obvious, but is actually really hard to find in a gluten-free snack.
Five and Six Both of these snacks remind me of my time growing up in Nebraska, and since you can't get either of them here in Indiana, I can't think of a better, nostalgic gift to make my Christmas morning extra special.
And there you have it! Everything I've been dreaming about lately all in one nice little list. Now to remain super good so Santa doesn't put me on the naughty list. ;)
What are you wishing for this year?
