My birthday is coming up at the end of this week ๐ I actually keep a shared google doc on my phone that Dustin has access to of things that I want. Anytime I think of something I would really like to have, I add it to that document and Dustin checks it around holidays to help him shop. It’s worked out great for both of us because he’s able to check that list without asking me what I want. For example, this past Mother’s Day he Harrison bought me the Jo Malone perfume I had listed on the doc–exact scent–and he never had to ask me any questions.
These are a couple of the things that I’d LOVE to have for my birthday in case anyone is wondering ๐ Or you might can add some of these things to your own Christmas list!
- Wide leg pants–I used to dress up every day the first few years I started teaching and then I went through a super casual phase. Now I’m ready to dress it back up during the week and would love these to pair with comfortable heels I could stand in all day to teach. I like both green and navy.
- New coat–I’m really in need of a new winter coat and while I typically only want camel colored coats, I want black in this coat. And Dustin, if you’re reading this, Nordstrom will price match so make sure JCrew has it on sale and then have Nordstrom price match ๐
- Pie dish–I use my two glass pie dishes for way more than pies, so I’d love to add another one to my collection.
- Apple Watch–I’ve had my series 2 watch for a few years now and since I wear it every day, I really think it’s time to upgrade. I also think it would be neat to have cellular added so I don’t have to constantly have my phone near me to have the ability to get texts or phone calls.
- Kindle–I currently use my iPad (that’s over 6 years old) to read from my Kindle app, but it’s heavy and bulky if I tote it in my purse. I think I’d like a Kindle since they are smaller and more compact.
- Eye balm–I’ve seen another blogger talking about this and using it and this is a product I’d like to receive as a gift first lol! She made it seem like a really versatile product because you can use it under your eyes before make up, as a highlighter, or be applied throughout the day over your make up to brighten up any spots on your face.
- Nude Pumps–these are to go with my new pants at the top of the list ๐ They say they are for 12 hour wear, so I hope they would be!
Woohoo itโs the week of Sarah!!!! Iโve never tried eye balm, sounds great. Have a super birthday week!
Having that google doc sounds so handy!!! I have heard really good things about those Banana shoes from a girl at work. I do love my Calvin Kleins, though, if you end up getting them and they don't live up to the 12 hour promise!
Kindle will change your life! I LOVE mine!
The google doc is a great idea! I have the first generation apple watch…I think I'm due for an upgrade as well! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Kindle is def game changer! I went from the ipad to the kindle
I want an apple watch, too. I've never had one so it's high on my list!
Sounds like the perfect list to me!
Ooh, birthdays are always fun!! I hope you get the majority of your wish list!! I definitely love my kindle!! And nude pumps are a closet staple!!
