Things I bought for myself while I was supposed to be shopping for others
Plus some good/bad gift ideas and my ~personal~ Christmas list
I know it’s been a while. I’ve been busy starting a new job :))))))))
Before we move on to gifts and tabs, please take a minute to read up on what’s happening at Wirecutter, and don’t cross the digital picket line this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Some recent purchases
These boots made a brief return before selling out again and I’m so glad I got them. They are so comfortable and go with everything. Subscribe to the restock alert, you wont regret it.
This dog leash has an attached wallet that can hold treats, keys, your phone, poop bags, etc. I love it so much. I stumbled upon it after seeing a woman on TikTok fit like 12 pairs of shoes and several outfits into this weekender bag. (Also, randomly, this is Shay Mitchell’s company?? If you have a few minutes, please watch her home tour.)
I had an awful hormonal breakout a few weeks ago that could only be contained by a combination of Luna Oil, Sunday Riley’s Retinol and this La Roche-Posay cicaplast cream that treats super dry/cracked skin. Shout out to my friend Sarah for recommending this cream and saving my face.
These wavy earrings, which are now my 5th pair by Jules! Her earrings are so fun and light! Highly recommend!
I expanded my Arq collection during a sale at Bonadrag. I got this bodysuit, and the highrise undies in carres and black. FYI, Bonadrag’s Black Friday sale is live. You can get 20% off anything black with code BLACK21.
What’s on my Christmas list:
I hosted Friendsgiving and my pals were alarmed by the fact that I don’t own oven mitts so I added these doofy looking ones to my list.
This Staub braiser makes me feel MANY things.
This leather tote, but in yellow, which is no longer in stock and now I’m UPSET.
Lord Jones bath salts
Doodle coasters from the MOMA design store
A gold version of the fake chain necklace that turned my neck green
Best _______ Gifts For Your ________ Who_________:
This plunger (sorry I just need someone to buy this!)
I feel like I say this all the time but you cannot go wrong with an Instax camera. It’s a great gift for kids and adults. Everyone loves it! The basic one is on sale at Target for $59.99, the cooler-looking one is also on sale but $30 more. Don’t forget film!
I love these reusable eye masks! They’re 20% off right now with code “CONGREGATION20”
Silk pajamas are a nice gift, and these from Quince come with a price tag that wont make you melt into the earth. You could also try this linen pajama set!
This cashmere sweatshirt is one of my favorite sweaters and would make a great gift for anyone.
I love these wavy serving trays.
I saw an old man wearing this “agita” Mets sweatshirt last week and I think it would make a good gift for the suffering Mets fans in your life. There is an entire Etsy store dedicated to the Agita design.
This quilted pasta print bag (25% off with code GIFTDADDY)
Tabs I bravely closed
This Dusen Dusen dog bed/floor pillow and robe. (Both are 25% off at checkout)
This beautiful Cold Picnic wallpaper, which has a 15 yard minimum!! (The entire site is 20% off with code SECRETCODE)
As you may know, I’m not allowed to buy any more sweaters. But I love this one.
I want this ceramic sandwich coaster set SO BADLY but cannot find it anywhere. Or anything even remotely close to it.
Look at this upsetting cat scarf.
I really love this slip dress
And all of these jumpsuits
Would I wear these loafers?? Unclear, but I signed up for stock alerts.
ok BYE!
