Five Favorite Gifts from Christmas 2018

Happy Friday!!!

Today I thought I would recap my favorite gifts from Christmas this year!! My family knows me so well and they were all so super perfect but here are the top favs...

One: Laundry Hamper and mug (from my little sister, brother in law and their kids)

I actually asked for one of these but they brought it OVER THE TOP with the handle and wheels!!! This is awesome!!! The mug has the faces of her kids on it! It is my new favorite!!!


Two: This sign (from my little brother, sister in law and their kids)

I am not sure what Etsy seller they got mine from but it is just like it! How cute is it?!?! Perfect for the lady with four cats!! HA HA! It has a lint roller hanging from it!! It is already hung at my front entryway!!


Three: This Pandora Dazzling Wishes bracelet and jewelry case (from my mom and dad)

Perfection!!! I love the bracelet and the case is absolutely adorable!!!



Four:  This mug (from my older sister, brother in law and their kids) This is not just any old thermal mug guys!! This is free coffee for an entire month!!!

You all know I love my Starbucks, right?!?! I don't drink foofy coffee...just straight up brewed coffee goodness! Well, every year my sister gets me the January mug! It costs $40 at Starbucks and you get free refills (once a day) at Starbucks for the whole month of January!!! It is the best gift ever if you know a coffee lover. Only works for brewed coffee and tea...none of the fancy stuff!

Five: These socks (from my older sister, brother in law and their kids)

These socks are for my barre class!!! Are they not the cutest things ever with the mesh top?!?!? I may or may not have an obsession with collecting barre socks!! HA HA!

And above all - I got the gift of FAMILY TIME!!! There is nothing that refreshes me more than spending time with my family!!!! I love each and every one them so very much!!!

I came up with the idea for this post as I wrote my thank you notes! I loved everything I got!!! It was all fantastic and spot on!!! I could not possibly want for more!!!

What were your favorite gifts? Ever re-gift anything? Did you get a really terrible gift this year?

Five on Friday

Hi bloggy pals!!! I am so happy to join in with 5 on Friday!

Here are the top five things on my EXPENSIVE wish list for Christmas.  I am using this as my five on Friday. I am a single woman and not currently serious with anyone so chances are that I am not exchanging expensive gifts this year!

I will probably not get any of these and will gradually throughout the year just buy them for myself but it is nice to keep a list anyway! HA

If anyone is feeling especially generous this year... :-)...here it is...

1. Ralph Lauren Jaden Boot, Size 8.5, Black/Tan - available here

I would love these! I have been looking at these forever!! They are so cute and such a classy style!

2. Ipod Touch, 64 GB (go big or go home, right?), Yellow - available here

I have an 8GB iPod Nano but it is sadly full and I can no longer add any songs :-(

3.   Ugg Bailey Bow Boot, Size 8, Chestnut - available here

Are they not the cutest boots ever?!?!? LOVE THESE!!!

4.  Barneys Oversize Scarf - available here

Beautiful and functional!

5. Tiffany T Square Bracelet - available here

Well folks, that's all! That is my expensive list and I will probably receive none of it but a girl has to dream, right?! 

At least I have taste, right?!?!

What's at the top on your EXPENSIVE wish list this year? Anything? Do you think you will get it?
