My Favorite Things

Now that I'm an adult, the gifts I ask for and get excited about are drastically different from when I was a kid. This year five of my favorite gifts are items I will use daily. I think these are some of the best kinds of gifts because they add a little extra excitement and quality to everyday life.


From left to right:
  • gold initial necklace: tiny and inconspicuous—perfect for daily wear
  • 55-250mm telephoto lens: I didn't even know I needed this lens until I got it. I am loving it.
  • Crabtree&Evelyn honey and coriander body lotion: I fell in love with this lotion while Johnny and I were on vacation this past summer, and now I can't live without it.
  • Moleskine daily planner: I am so excited about this gift. It's kind of absurd. I'm such a visual person, and I love to make to-do lists. This planner is my way of being able to grasp the year ahead of me and make the most of 2012.
  • coral iPhone case: My phone is now complete. I love this case. It fits me (and my phone) perfectly.
Not to say I don't get excited about less practical gifts as well. My sister might have given me a Harry Potter wand and broomstick, and I might have been casting spells on Johnny and Persie on Christmas Day. That being said, what were some of your favorite gifts this year?

As much as Moleskine is the best invention ever for planning, I think your sister knows where it's at. Expelliarmus! You have to take a picture of you playing Quidditch with your new broom. Your husband can be the Golden Snitch.

YOU GOT A WAND AND BROOM??!?!?! That is the happiest news I've heard today. I cannot stop smiling!

Also, your other gifts sound great! My favorite gifts were the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment (I am enjoying my first bowl of homemade ice cream as I type, YUM), and a bunch of those gorgeous Penguin Classics books to start my collection. I got Pride and Prejudice, Emma, A Christmas Carol, Sense and Sensibility, Woman in White, The Odyssey, and a few others I can't remember. They are pretty. :)
