Christmas 2013

I think I got on the Nice List with my parents Santa this year for Christmas: 

From Santa: I folded it in the picture, but it's a rust orange Hi-Lo tunic, paired with a tribal knit scarf. It'll be a cute outfit with leggings and booties.

From Santa: The picture doesn't do this blouse justice, it'll be great to wear to work next semester with pants and heels.

From Santa: I have a ton of coloured, plaid, knit scarves, so it's nice to have a light/dark neutral contrast graphic scarf.

From Santa: I bought a long, camel coloured puffer coat earlier this season, so I wanted to get a short, black puffer coat. It'll be nice to have two different options in Paris.

From Santa: I no longer have to bring a beach towel to hot yoga classes ever again...

I meant to get a keyboard for my tablet last Christmas, but we kept forgetting to buy it. Now I have a bluetooth wireless keyboard!

I also got a few nice things from my brothers, Ryan, and Maribeth, one of my social media clients:

From Adam: I really liked this striped tee, but it was a little too big...

When my family and I went to the mall, we returned the tee and exchanged it for two dresses.

From Dylan: My first Moleskine! I plan on having this on me at all times.

From Ryan: I got a book safe and a larger France travel guide! Between Dylan's Moleskine and this Fodor's travel book, I'll be taking copious notes before I leave for Paris in less than two weeks!

(also) From Ryan: I have a pair of black, sporty cloth texting gloves, but I really wanted another pair of texting gloves that looked a little more dressy. I've been obsessed with beige, tan and camel lately, so these are perfect.

From Maribeth: I was with Maribeth when she was ordering Kiel James Patrick bracelets for her store, KC Shoes. I was very happy to have this as a Christmas present, I'll be wearing it often!

Always remember that it's the thought and the intention of the gift giver that's the most important, not the gift itself!
