I have an extremely large family and Christmas is one of our favorite holidays. And despite my published online Christmas wish list that implies I love GETTING gifts, giving gifts is my favorite part about Christmas. I enjoy the planning, list making, and shopping... and most of all seeing my family members happy with their gifts that I got them. I actually hand out each gift separately so I can watch each person open his/her gift. My family has a lot to be thankful for this year, so I expect this holiday season to be one of the best. I will not be sad or mad if I don't get what I list below, in all actuality I very well may buy myself some of these gifts before December 25th... lol. This is just my way of saying "Hey! If you wanna spend some moo-lah on me... these are my preferences!"
1. Knee High (or very tall) Leather Riding Boots
- Dark Brown or Black
- I already have a pair of brown ones, but they are worn
- Would prefer brown ones
- Will eventually get black too though
- Minimal amount of buckles and decor
- No suede!
-Size 8
-Prefer 19" shaft height
-All links are to Macy's but DSW may have some nice ones
Links to each boots (Left Column First - Then Right side)
2. Large Face Watches in Gold Tones
-Gold or Rose Gold
-Large Plain Links (no intricate details)
- Not a lot of gems/rhinestones
- Other watch brands I like are Fossil and Kate Spade

3. Fragrances- Wall Flowers and/or Candles
-No "fall" or "winter" scents please! For example - anything spicy or cotton! No thanks.
- Apple, lemon, and island margarita are good among many others!
-Anything fruity and clean!
-Would like 2 of these wallflower plugs from Bath and Body Works
-(1 for living room, 1 for bedroom - then I bring my hot pink one to school)
-Yankee Candles or Chesapeake Bay Candles (Get at HOME GOODS for cheap!)
- If Bath and Body Works only has fall scents for plug ins, a gift card will be good because they have the semi-annual sale right after Christmas where I may be able to get other scents.
4. MAC Creme de Nude Lipstick
- If Bath and Body Works only has fall scents for plug ins, a gift card will be good because they have the semi-annual sale right after Christmas where I may be able to get other scents.
4. MAC Creme de Nude Lipstick
- From Mac counter at Macy's or from Mac online
5. Turquoise Towels
- I can never have enough towels.

STAY TUNED AS I UPDATE ;)
I already asked the little kids (my youngest 5 brothers) in my family what they wanted for Christmas... I asked them to tell me three things:
1. A place, activity, or restaurant they'd like to go to
2. A specific kind of clothing or shoes (for example: Long Sleeve American Eagle Shirt)
3. A book or book topic/Magazine
This way they get what they want, and I get to shop for what I like :) Win Win
Mommy, Daddy, Billy, Danny, Timmy, Nikki - Give a girl some options for things you may want for Christmas time! Like anything on Groupon or at Home Goods? lol
This is the only time of the year I wish I had sisters instead of brothers!
