My Christmas Wishlist - Abby Saylor Armbruster

I’m killing two birds with one stone today because 1) Justin has been requesting a Christmas list from me for weeks now and I kept putting it off, and 2) it’s Monday and time for a new blog post! I figured if I was making this list anyway, I might as well share it with you guys! I absolutely love to see what’s on other people’s Christmas lists because I’m nosey and it gives me ideas of gifts to ask for or buy for friends/family, so I figured this may be helpful. Keep reading for what’s on my list, just in time for Cyber Monday today!

1) Juju Hat Wall Decor (Kamali) — I’ve seen these everywhere on home decor blogs, but MAN are these guys expensive… much more than I anticipated. This price is a no-go for me personally, but I wanted to include it because it’s something I’m searching for right now at a more budget-friendly range. If I find some inexpensive ones (preferably under $75), I’ll be sure to share them!

2) 2019 Large Wall Calendar (Etsy) — I’ve been in serious need of some help with organization and scheduling over the last couple months, so a large wall calendar like this one is long overdue. I imagine hanging one like this behind my desk in our office (in a gallery-like fashion with my neon sign, some shelves, pin boards, etc.) to easily jot stuff down. This one is actually printable, meaning you pay a small fee to access the file and you can print it at whatever size/format as you wish!

3) Boom Hiker Boot with Genuine Calf Hair (Steve Madden) — I absolutely love the hiker boot trend right now and after seeing a couple bloggers share this pair, I fell in love! This is a subtle option for rocking animal print and it’s neutral enough to match basically anything in your closet this fall and winter. Steve Madden is always high quality too, so you can’t go wrong with these!

4) Lait de Coco Gourmand EDP Fragrance (Urban Outfitters) — I’ve heard soooo many good things about this perfume and as a coconut lover, I know this will be a hit for me. Urban Outfitters has such great perfumes and so many scent options for less than $20. If I end up getting this one, it will be my third scent I’ve tried from their line. If you have a $20 gift limit or need a stocking stuffer, this would be perfect for that too!

5) Ralph Lauren Woman Eau de Parfum (Sephora) — I smelled this perfume in a store around this time last year and really liked it. Since two of the items on my list are perfumes, obviously I think they make great gifts! 😂 I find this one to be pretty universal in the sense that most people would probably like wearing it.

6) Patent Leather Puffer Jacket (Forever 21) — I thought these were pretty unappealing when they first came out, but somehow I’ve suddenly taken an interest in them (lol) and think they’re kinda chic. I haven’t had a puffer coat since I was a kid, but I’m really drawn to these patent leather ones and the texture & shine they add to an outfit. It’s unlike anything I currently own, so it would definitely ass a little something to my wardrobe!

7) Chill Wall Hook (Urban Outfitters) — How cute is this?! I’ve been looking for a jewelry holder for ages now and I’m so glad I stumbled across this one. It would blend seamlessly into our existing home decor and is a great way to store jewelry in an effortless and chic way.

8) Set of 2 Silk Pillowcases (Amazon) — I’m been thinking about getting these for years and have yet to pull the trigger since they’re not a “necessity,” but I’d love to test them out to see what they’d do for my hair and skin. This is an awesome gift idea because it’s something people don’t think to buy for themselves, but they’ll definitely get use out of.

9) Dracaena Real Touch Artificial Plant (Overstock) — Our house is lacking some greenery, so I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect large fake plants to add some life (artificial, that is) to our space. I like the fullness of this one and I believe it will be the right height to place under some shelves in our kitchen. Below are some other cute options!

10) Seagrass Delilah Tote Basket With Tassels (World Market) — Last but not least, a basket to put the plant in! A lot of fake house plants come with standard, non-decorative pots, so I’d definitely want to add my own personal touch. World Market has some of the best home decor items, and the tassel detail on this one is right up my alley! So obsessed.

In all seriousness, at the top of my Christmas list is good health and happiness for everyone around me. This past year has been one with a lot of change and uncertainty at times, and I would take these things over a physical gift any day.

That’s everything on my Christmas list this year! Now Justin can stop bugging me about it. 🙃 It actually took me an embarrassingly long time to find things to add to this, so I’m just glad to cross this off my to-do list. Have a great start to your week, let me know if you end up asking for or purchasing any of these, & check back for a brand new post on Wednesday!
