Christmas Wish List

Yes, I know it's only the third of November. No, I don't care that I'm already posting about Christmas.


In my defense, my mom starts Christmas shopping very early and she's already asked me for a list. So while I'm at it I thought I would post it on my blog as well! I always like looking at other's lists as it usually gives me some inspiration for my own. Why is it that you can think of a million things you'd like in the summer, but once someone asks around Christmastime your mind goes blank?

1. Bookshelf
This is one of those practical presents I could really use! I'm constantly buying new books but I've run out of space for them on my three bookshelves. I currently have a little pile of books that need a new home! I'd be happy with anything, but I'd like it to have a lot of shelves. I don't see myself getting rid of any of my books anytime soon so I'll definitely be needing the space.

2. Makeup Brush Set
You can never have too many brushes, and my poor blush brush is on it's last legs. These are also quite easy to find, I know TJ Maxx always has a few options!

3. The Vampire Diaries Season 7
This was a no brainer--I've been asking for seasons of the Vampire Diaries since the show premiered. While it isn't my favorite show anymore, I love binge-watching it on long car trips and remembering how obsessed I was with it.

4. Mascara
I don't really like asking for specific makeup items, especially expensive ones, but I could always use a new mascara and I'll try anything!

5. Cards Against Humanities
I've only played this once but I've been meaning to get it for ages. It's absolutely hilarious! If you somehow haven't heard of it, it's basically an adult version of Apples to Apples. It's so much fun to play with a big group of friends.

6. Hollister jeans
I'm very particular about the kind of jeans that I wear. They have to be stretchy, skinny, and generally dark-wash. I really love Hollister jeans and I know what size I am in them. I wear jeans every single day so I'll get tons of use out of them, and a good pair of jeans will last for ages!

7. Elf Mad About Matte palette
As I said before I don't usually like asking for specific makeup items as no one in my immediate or extended family is a big makeup person. They'd probably find this palette from Elf to be on the pricey side! I've been after a matte palette for quite a while and although the new Urban Decay one is tempting, I've heard only good things about this Elf palette so I'd really like to try it. It's also drugstore so it should be easy to find!

8. Sephora/Ulta/Barnes and Noble gift cards
Gift cards are always welcome!

I'm going to start gift shopping soon so I'm really excited for that change in the blogosphere from autumn-based posts to holiday gift guides, wish lists, and party looks. It's so much help while shopping so I hope my list is beneficial to you, too!

If you celebrate Christmas, is there anything special you're hoping to get under the tree?
