Every year my mom asks me to send her a list with some ideas, and I actually just went and looked up what I sent her so I could share it with you. I didn't realize she was going to share this with family, or I wouldn't have sounded so blatantly greedy. :) I'm so random! I believe in giving people lots of options.
@ Target:
- gift cards
- peppermint vanilla reed diffusers, on the same aisle as the air fresheners (I found out after I sent this that they don't carry these anymore)
- vanilla amber reed diffusers, on the aisle with the candles
- bar stools, black, with rectangular seats
Also:
- monogram purse/backpack
- small seasonal garden flags
- a big faux potted plant or fern for my living room ledge
- mailbox flag post
- christmas decor
- cookie sheets (mine are rusted)
- Clinique Take The Day Off eye makeup remover
- MAC Fast Response Eye Cream
- BBW Twisted Peppermint lotion
My aunt thanked me for the list and said it was very helpful for shopping. LOL! She got me some faux potted ivy, cookie sheets, and a Target gift card, which went towards the bar stools. My grandmother also hooked me up with some cookie sheets, so I am well stocked!
My mom got me the vanilla amber reed diffusers, two monogrammed Vera Bradley-ish backpacks (I love these for marathon shopping sessions and amusement parks), a monogrammed large duffle bag, a pink zebra tote, and a pink and brown polka dot train case. I also got tons of turtlenecks (love turtlenecks for winter!), the eye cream and eye makeup remover, a small crock for dips, and some Bath & Body Works lotions and potions. Oh! and a winter coat and some pajamas. My mom hates my pj's and I think she's trying to improve my nightime attire for my husband's sake. :) And check out this beauty (although it definately needs a new stand)!
My sister-in-law and aunt really hooked me up on christmas decor! I was so excited about my goodies. This little bear holds candy; isn't he cute?
My aunt gave me this picture, which I think looks perfect on a stand. What do you think - does the stand need a makeover? I'm thinking of painting it gold and distressing it.
How adorable are these?! They look perfect on my stairs.
Love this! What should I put in it, is the question. What do you think? Can I leave it out for winter or does it need to come down?
Love my christmas basket! It is perfect for magazines.
Flags! I'm all about monograms, in case you haven't noticed. The ones in the package are christmas flags. I got a mailbox cover that matches the polka dot flag as well!
And my big present, a new kitchen table! Isn't my husband generous? What a sweetie. You can't really see the detail, but the center column has a ledge, for decor, and underneath there is a chest that opens and closes for storage. Love it!
P.S. - For all you crafters, Walmart has Martha Stewart glitter on sale for 50% off! They are the large jars for her christmas projects. The colors are antique silver, gold, red, and a lime-ish green. Martha's glitter is amazing - the best glitter ever, I promise! This is a steal because her stuff doesn't usually go on sale. I saw it at one Walmart with the christmas stuff, and another in the crafting section. The ones I saw in the crafting section were not marked 50% off, but when I scanned it, it scanned as $4.45. Don't pass this up if you use glitter in your projects.

I love the kitchen table! I am always looking for function along with storage. It's perfect! I think it's fine to give people lists if they ask. This takes the guesswork out for them and you get something you want :). I'm glad you had a nice Christmas!
I love your table!
Everything looks so lovely!!! I'm very impressed!
WOW love the stuff you certainly were on the nice list this year!
First, I love your Christmas decor and table! How cool to have storage built right into it!
Second, I can't (or rather, couldn't) find the Martha glitter anywhere in Walmart! So annoying.
