#FavoriteThings2014: Stocking Stuffers

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and most people are well in to the swing of the holiday season by now. Sitting at Starbucks writing this post I heard someone's phone ring and Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You" came singing through the little speakers. I love it!

Today's #FavoriteThings2014 post is all about Stocking Stuffers. Since I don't have kids yet, to me this mean little treats that I might pick up for a friend. I have just a few little suggestions here for you guys. These are all things I know my friends would love.

1. Mason Jar Shot Glasses- The Mason Jar craze has swept through, and I'm still not over it. A friend got me a similar version of these little guys, and I love them. Although their opportunity for use has decreased significantly since graduation- I still think they are adorable and a great little present for anyone who loves teeny things.

2. Nail Polish- What girl doesn't want to add more great colors to her collection? These Charlie Brown/Peanut inspired colors are adorable. I would love to see something like this show up in my stocking.

3. Snarky Coffee Cups- Apparently I am all about things you can drink things out of in this post... But I have become a coffee addict these days. It is a rare day when my Keurig sits idle without making me at least one cup of coffee. I am all for either a good travel mug or a real coffee mug with some sort of message on it. I love this one here that says "Sorry for what I said before I had my coffee..." #mylife

4. Ear Warmer/Headbands- I remember I got one of these from a cousin a few years ago and I didn't know how to make it work at the time. Now that I have moved to a colder climate than CA I love them. Even in TX, these cute little headbands are useful. And you can find just about any kind you want on Etsy.

So that's all I've got for you today. Join the fun and link up with April, Elise, Katie, and Zelle for more holiday fun!

#FavoriteThings2014: My Christmas Wishlist

Today I am linking up with April, Elise, Katie, and Zelle for the first day of their These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things link up.

In no particular order, here are some of the things I am lusting after this year:

Wood USA Wall Map- World Market: I have wanted to buy this piece of wall decor for a very long time now, like probably months. I am not sure why I haven't just picked it up myself but since I haven't... here it is on my Christmas list.

Kindle Fire HDX- Amazon: That boyfriend of mine got himself one of these a few months back- he actually had it delivered to my place in Dallas because he was going to be here visiting me when it would be arriving- and ever since I've been in need of a tablet of my own. I love playing on this thing, its great for watching Netflix, catching up on blogs, reading Kindle eBooks, etc. It's also an extremely reasonable price in comparison to other tablets.

Steve Madden Kylee Over The Knee Boots- DSW: I have a boot obsession. This is definitely not news to anyone who knows me.... So of course, I need to add a new pair to my collection this Christmas. I know I am looking for black (my black go to pair are kind of falling apart); I know I am looking for over the knee; and I know I am looking for leather/faux leather. These Steve Madden pair look nice, but aren't necessarily the only pair that would meet what I am hoping to find this year.

Blouses & Cardigans- Basically all clothing stores: I am always in need of more blouses and cardigans. Pieces that can be worn both to work or with jeans on a casual day are what I enjoy most. I have had great luck shopping online with ModCloth so I pulled the two items pictured above from their website.

Urban Decay Full Frontal Lipstick Stash Set- Sephora: I am lacking solid lip products in my everyday make up routine so I thought a set like this would be an easy way to add some variety to my makeup collection. I am totally open to suggestions of lip products that are pigmented, long lasting, and not drying...!

Reclaimed Wood Headboard- Etsy: My bed is sad and still looks like it belongs to a college kid. It's a box spring and mattress on a metal frame... that's it. I've been dying to find myself a head board for quite some time now- but these things are not cheap, y'all! I found someone on Etsy (liked above) who does custom reclaimed wood headboards for what I consider to be a relatively reasonable price. Ordering something like this online without being able to see it first definitely scares me, but it is an option.

Amazon Fire TV- Amazon: When I moved to Dallas, I rewarded myself with a big ol' 55'' TV. And I love it. I would love it even more if I could watch Netflix (and more!) on it without having to connect my computer to it via HDMI cord.

So.. that's what I came up with for Christmas 2014! I know my mom and A read this, so hopefully this will be helpful to them (feel free to share with other family Mom!) and potentially to those of you who are still building your lists!
