Hey y'all,
We all know that Christmas time is months away but I love to get working on my Christmas list early. This year, who knows where I will be for Christmas. I might have a job in a different state, be living somewhere else in NC or still stuck in my hometown but since we don't know if I will be asking for apartment decor and kitchen gadgets here are a few things I have been eyeing but haven't taken the plunge to buy. Maybe they will be Christmas gifts, who knows!
1. An e-reader. If you met me in real life you would know that I have struggled over the e-reader debate. In most of my English classes at UNC it would always come up: books vs. digital text. I am a hardcore fan of holding a book in my hand and as you can see in my bookshelf organization post you know I am crazy about books. So to be practical I am hoping to get a Nook Simple Touch with Glow. No, I do not want to blog, play games or anything else. I simply want an e-reader for vacations, the gym, and for those times when I want to grab a book without the trip to the library or bookstore (yes, my county library has a digital library collection. It's great.) If you knew me in real life you would also know that I require any purse I purchase have the capacity to hold a paperback book. I take a book with me everywhere and it is time to upgrade. But we all know I will still have to go to the library, but maybe not 10 books checked out at a time. :) My Mom loves her nook color but I think the simple nook with glow for my late nights reading is the perfect decision for me. It looks just like a real book but slimmer and more compact.
And I would of course need one of these adorable cases to protect the e-reader:
2. A nice watch. I love my Anne Klein bracelet watch I got for my 21st Birthday but I am looking for something to add to my jewelry collection but won't break Santa's budget if he want's to get me an e-reader as well. Here are some that I am loving.
3.Patagonia Women's Re-Tool Snap Pullover. A nice comfy jacket that is perfect for those winter months. I love the pullover factor and I would want it in a fun color since my Columbia zip is brown and my peacoat is black (I lost my red one). Here are the colors I think would be great to brighten the weary winter.
4. Tervis Tumblers. I love the two tumblers by Tervis I already own (I also have a few tumblers by Lilly Pulitzer and other companies but still love my Tervis ones the most). I have a 16 oz one with the plain black j in it and then I have the 24oz with a hot pink circle monogram that I got last year during the Cyber Monday sales. I use them all the time so why not add to my collection.
5. A nice purse. I want something that is classic that I will have for years so I am looking probably at a leather tote that zips. I want it to be the perfect work or everything bag. Simple, classic and elegant. This might have to become my birthday present but who knows. I am thinking brown since I still have my large black Le Pilage Longchamp that will last a little while longer after two years of heavy textbook abuse. Here are some that I have been eyeing.
What have you been eyeing? What is on your wishlist?
Peace and Blessings,

I received a NOOK Simple Touch (with Glowlight) AND the Kate Spade Falling Letters case for my 21st birthday! I love carrying it around in my Longchamp and the Glowlight really does make a difference if you read in bed/at night. Definitely beats carrying around a book (or multiple, if you're like me and read more than one book at a time!) It's great for all those titles you've been meaning to read but you haven't gone to the store to buy because you can buy books wherever you have WiFi available.
ReplyDeleteI loveee that you're already planning your Christmas list - genius! I have the first edition NOOK and LOVE it. It's so easy to buy new books and you don't even have to leave your house! And those nice purses are gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteI love that MK purse - so sleek and classy! I hope you get one or more of the following:)
ReplyDeleteI love that Coach bag. It's so grown up! :)
ReplyDeleteLove my kindle and have a Vera B. cover. It fits perfectly into my longchamp!
ReplyDeleteOoh Patagonia fleeces are my favorite! Definitely a winter staple. I want new wedges, but I can't find any I like in my price range!
ReplyDeleteI debated back and forth on getting a Kindle and I absolutely love mine, but I do switch back between it and regular books :).
