The Secret's Out

The secret is out ... I'm officially materialistic. I've momentarily finished my Christmas list (it's never really finished ... you never know when you might want to add something). This year I decided to turn my Christmas list into a blog post so that my friends and family (and really any stranger who feels sorry for me) could easily see what I want and plan accordingly.
My lover thinks that it is way to early to already have a Christmas list, but in my defense Christmas decorations have been out in Hobby Lobby Since September, I've already watched three Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel, and I heard a Christmas song in Home Depot last week. The only logical and courteous thing I could do was to go ahead and make my Christmas list. I am perfectly happy to ignore the fact that my Christmas list has been made since April 4; the day after my birthday. I am also perfectly aware that my Christmas list will not fulfill me, and by February I will be lusting after more materialistic things. Don't worry I have a fool-proof plan to make sure that my children won't be materialistic like me, I have decided to only give them experiences.


My Christmas list is also open to any experience: vacations, concerts, a trip to fashion week, quality time.
In addition to experiences I would like to add gift cards. I'll be honest, I don't believe in giving gift cards. I believe in taking time to pick things out that I think people will like. I also don't believe in giving gift cards to people because I will inevitably end up spending more money than I intended because I don't want to appear cheap. However, anyone who knows me knows that one of my greatest loves is shopping. And given my current residency in the Retirement Community and the fact that I am currently poor, I haven't gotten the opportunity to partake in one of my greatest loves. Therefore, by giving me gift cards for Christmas you are actually providing me with an experience, which isn't materialistic at all.

It doesn't have to be $75

Gift cards to the following places are acceptable:
Starbucks
Dillards (our only major department store)
Loft
Any boutique
Amazon
Ulta

I would also like the following items to my Christmas List; I am open to items that are similar to these. Against my better judgement I am deciding not to hyperlink these pictures for easier shopping ... I just didn't want to appear incredibly shallow.
Happy Shopping!
