My Christmas Wishlist

After a mini panic attack due to the fact that Christmas is only 21 days away (and even less for the few holiday gatherings I'm attending that are occurring before the 25th), I spent much of my free time yesterday trying get a jump on my holiday shopping. Between placing orders at a few local stores and taking advantage of a some remaining Cyber Monday deals, I was able to check off about 60% of the people on my shopping list, and I've got a good solid plan for the other 40%. Phew, crisis averted.

While I was browsing online, I couldn't help but gather my own fantasy wish list. My needs are few and far between (as always), but I'm finding myself lusting after more than a handful of beautiful and luxurious goods, the kinds of things I rarely treat myself to. So I thought a bit of daydreaming was in order. Santa, take note ; )

And if you don't care about what I'm personally wishing for this Christmas, just consider this a Gift Guide for the Earthy-Yet-Stylish, Simplicity-Loving Semi-Hippie.

Column 1: Rustic Kitchen Apron in Blue Pinstripe Ticking ($45) from meyertextileco on Etsy {shop is currently closed/sold out for the holidays, boo!}  // The Vintage Tote Bag ($175) from Whipping Post // Milk Glass Mixing Bowl Set in Jade ($88) from Terrain // Frye Veronica Shortie boots in Burnished Slate ($269) from Zappo's

Column 2: Metal Accordion Side Table in Bronze ($78) from Urban Outfitters // Heather Hawkins Cabochon Stud Earrings ($88) from Shop Bop {though the reviews are disappointing, as the earrings seem to differ from the photo in person, bummer!} // Brahms Mount Cotton Herringbone Throw in Indigo ($236) from Orange & Pear // It's All Good cookbook ($21.99) by Gwenyth Paltrow

A few extra items that were too nerdy to picture: Bookstore and Dumbledore's Office scented soy candles ($14 each) from FrostBeard on Etsy // A Practical Guide to Spells and Wizardry art print ($45) by NateDuval on Etsy

And the intangibles: Laughter over a wholesome, delicious holiday meal // To sit in front of a crackling fire // Chatting over a cup of tea with my loved ones // A chance to get out for a snowy photo walk // My annual viewing and reciting the entire script of Home Alone // The feeling of warmth in my chest after a glass of mulled wine // To sit in stillness when possible and consciously take steps to avoid a stressful season.

What's #1 on your holiday wishlist? If I could have anything, I'd probably go for those Frye boots. *Swoon.*
