Wishes

Christmas and Hanukkah are rolling around really soon. I'm trying to formulate a list to sen to Santa and Hanukkah Harry. What do I want?

Originally, I had a plan in mind. Ask for an iPod Classic and a bottle of Vera Wang Princess perfume. Lucky for me, a friend had an iPod to sell, so I bought it for a mere $35. I also managed to snag a Vera Wang Princess boxed set at Marshall's for a heavily discounted price. Seeing as I got the things I desired much before the holiday rolled around, I am now trying to think up a new list.

Here are some of the things I thought about so far:

Influence (book) by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen

Elsa Peretti Bean pendant necklace

Toms Classic canvas shoes

Joy

What makes you happy?

Some little luxuries:

• Beeswax candles
• Fleur de sel caramels
• Burt's Bees Marshmallow eye cream
• Cashmere sweaters
• High thread count sheets

Holiday time this year, splurge on something special for yourself
