There is truly nothing I need this year, but my husband (my most valued reader) requested this gift guide, so here it is. I normally would ask for an experience, but in the time of Covid that isn't an option. So instead here are some things I would enjoy finding under the tree this year.
Restaurant Gift Cards - If I'm being honest the best gift would be to not have to cook/clean the kitchen. One thing I've learned this year is I enjoy cooking, but I really, really dislike the cleaning. I'd gladly accept gift cards to my favorite Mexican restaurant or our new favorite burger spot.
Earrings - I'm very into pretty and versatile stud earrings lately. Putting on a pair makes me feel more put together even if I'm just wearing loungewear while sitting around the house. These Silver Studs , Gold Studs, Pearl Studs, and Brass Studs are some that I'm loving.
Bookmark - I have done a lot of reading in 2020! I've mostly read ebooks, but sometimes I get off the library wait list faster for the physical ones. When that happens I'm grabbing anything I can find for a bookmark. This Taylor Swift bookmark, this Great Gatsby bookmark or this Little Woman bookmark are some fun ones.
Nativity Set - When I was putting up my Christmas decorations this year I realized I don't own a nativity set. Growing up we had an extensive nativity village; like it took up a whole room and we'd joke that there would have been plenty of room for Jesus in our village. While I don't need something nearly as extensive I'd love a set of my own to help remember the reason for the season. This colorful tin set, wooden doll version, and this hand carved wooden set are ones I love.
Donations - As I mentioned, I really don't need anything this year. I've been extremely lucky that my husband and I have kept our jobs during the pandemic, but so so many have not been so fortunate. I love the idea of spreading the holiday spirit to those who may not have the money to spend this year. A few organizations that I believe in are Junior League of Richardson, Dallas CASA, and my church Angel Tree.
Ideas from past gift guides - I tend to share items that I'd enjoy in my gift guides. A few items from recent guides I'm especially lusting after are these napkins, this coffee mug, and this ornament.
What's on your gift guide this year?
