I saw a blog post about a Christmas list, and it made me want to gather up some ideas and make my own.
Most of these things are just 'dream' Christmas gifts, because I'm pretty sure no one would ever give some of these to me as a gift. Which y'know, I understand.
I absolutely love Christmas time, because I love snow. I'm not really the type of person who gets super excited over gifts. I love giving gifts, but whether or not I receive a certain amount of gifts doesn't really ever cross my mind. After all, Christmas is not about getting presents, it's about Christ.
So, let me start off with the most reasonable things, and they we'll get to the crazy thing that I'm going to have to someday spend my life savings on.

1. Jewelry Tree Stand Organizer
I have been wearing more jewelry lately, and it's rather frustrating when I have nowhere to put it. I actually ended up sticking some tacks in the side of my mirror to hold my necklaces. Tacky I know. (Pun intended.) So, I basically told my mother that all I would even think of wanting for Christmas is something to hold my jewelry. The one pictured holds up to 60 pairs of earrings, and then whatever else you want to put on there. I think it is so adorable, and it would fit well with the decor of my bedroom. However, I have a wish list on www.amazon.com, and I have several stands in there.
$29.99
2. Reverse (Tapered) Curling Wand
I have seen a lot of people with short hair use a reverse curling wand. I'm not sure why it works better with short hair, but evidently it does! This specific wand is one I found on Amazon, and it is a pretty good price, with good reviews.
$26.99
3. Holster Camera Case
I have been wanting a case like this for some time, because I often go places with only my camera and one lens, so it is a pain to carry around my case with all of my lenses all the time (though I am sooo thankful to have a bag that fits all of my lenses and my camera).
$12.95
4. Wireless Shutter Release
Talk about geeky things huh? This is a wireless shutter release, for a DSLR, which is an excellent tool to have. I would really love to have one for night shots of the stars. Thankfully I live in an area where leaving my camera outside for a few hours at night wouldn't be deadly.
$18.95
5. Nail Art Brushes
I got a set of nail art brushes for Christmas a couple of years ago, and haven't really been able to use them all that much. A few of them are really nice, but the fine point ones are frayed and unusable. There are several sets on Amazon that are only about $1.00 for three brushes, which is a very good deal.
6. Starbucks Tumbler
Okay, just look at how beautiful that is. I saw it originally on a "Gift Guide" YouTube video and fell in love with it. This is such a gorgeous, and timeless tumbler. I would absolutely love to have it, and I've been looking for a new tumbler anyways, so I can go places with hot coffee, or tea in the winter! The fact that it is from Starbucks makes it 100% more awesome, despite the fact that I can't drink their coffee!
$22.95
7. Combat Boots
I have been searching for a pair of decently priced combat boots for most of this fall. I absolutely love the look of them, especially with skirts or dresses. I came across these on Kohls.com, and I love them. I just can't decide which color I like the best.... They're all great colors. Plus they're on sale for $19.99. *nudgenudge* They were $79.99... These might not be able to wait until Christmas! Though I'm not sure if it is socially acceptable for me to wear these boots with my 34" inseam and telephone pole legs... So... yeah. GO AGAINST THE FLOW BABY.
On sale now for $19.99!
8. Sweaters!
I absolutely love sweaters. I would live in them every day of my life if I could. They're so cozy, and yet easy to dress up if needed. So, sweaters... or a Target gift card (seeing that all of the sweaters above are from Target) would be a grand idea. ;)
9. Cross Body Bag
I have been carrying a cross body bag for quite some time now, because I am terrified of losing my purse, especially now that I usually have car keys with me... Anyways! I found this purse from Target and I absolutely fell in love with it. The colors are so gorgeous, and the size is perfect. The bag I have now is falling apart, because I use it every single day and stuff way more than should be able to fit, into it... So, I think it's about time for a new purse!
Mint: on clearance for $17.49
Grey: $24.99
10. Canon EOS Rebel T4i
*gasp* I know, there's a Canon on my blog! My camera would be so disappointed in me, but let's not tell him okay? This is almost my biggest dream gift. I would absolutely love to have this camera. I have heard and seen so many good things about Canon cameras, and this one in particular. So, I've been eyeing it for quite some time. Maybe someday I'll have enough cash to dish out for this camera. I know I already have three lenses for my Nikon, but there are lens adapters out there...
$719.99
Well that's it! I decided to keep it to ten items, because well... I had a hard time even coming up with ten items! Obviously this is just my dream list, and I'm not actually legitmately asking for all of these things! A sweater or two would be nice though... ;)
This was such a fun post to make, though it took me just about all day (on and off) to think of what I wanted to put in the list, and to deal with crazy computer issues. Anyways!
Is there anything in particular you are dreaming about for a Christmas gift?
Let me know in the comments down below. It's always fun to see what other people are wishing for!
Thanks for reading! Have a great Thanksgiving week!
Holy cow…those sweaters and cross body bags. LOVE!
