It's starting to get to that crazy, crunch time where the good holiday cheer starts to fade and the present buying panic sets in...so I thought I'd share a little gift list mantra that my mom instituted a while ago that has helped ease the overspending/overstressing that can happen in the last few weeks of December...
Something you want...
Something you need...
Something to wear...
Something to read...
Last year I asked many of my favorite bloggers for their lists but couldn't quite pull it together this time around so I want to know what your want/need/wear/read list would be...tell me and I'll post some of my favorites next week! What's on my list? Want - Heath soup bowls (a good mix of french grey, linen, and matte brown would be lovely, no?) Need - practicalish snow boots for the million inches we've had this year (12 more this weekend forecasted - wah!), Wear - monogrammed PJ's - I've had my eye on this pair for ages, and Read - Shamefully I don't have Time For Dinner
yet but could also use another clothbound Penguin Classic to add to my collection...
