All I want for Christmas

Tonight we're back to my frequent blog topic, shopping. Christmas is just about a week away so I thought I would share some of the items I've put on my list this year. And trust me, I'm hoping Santa thinks I've been a good girl.

Now a few of these items are serious and a few are just something I'm salivating over and could only hope to get. I've mentioned that because of the economy, I've cut down on my list this year and asked for more practical things for my apartment. Dad was quite surprised by a few items on here, but I think he meant that in a good way :)

So what's on everyone else's Christmas list? Any one item in particular you're hoping to have in your stocking or under the tree?

The Practical gifts:

Dirty laundry should be properly sorted!

Crate & Barrel may help me unload my plastic wine glasses

And get some proper champagne flutes in my hand

I collect the Vanity Fair books for my coffee table

I need these to give my traditional pearl earrings a day off

I love Jim, I think that's self-explanatory :)

Fun but not as practical:

Check out Jan's candle site, the scent descriptions are hee-larious

I apparently need more "adult" boots (in black)

I love anything from this store, especially Glittens (glove mittens)!

Totally impractical, but would sure be nice:

How gorgeous would this be on my arm? It has it's own belt!

I love the color purple, scarves/wraps and cashmere, triple win

I wear my Tiffany beaded necklace all the time, I love this shape and size

This isn't actually available to buy, but her "horn can pierce the sky!"
