Sometimes You Just Have To Ask

The holidays are quickly approaching. Scary I know. Every year I like to get started on my shopping early, but in the process, I always find a ton of things I want to buy for myself. Is it sad that I'm 26 and still make a Christmas list? I.think.not.

This year, I need a new iPod. Mine shit the bed and I really miss bringing it to the gym and using my Bose SoundDock (it is currently collecting dust on my dresser). Thank you, Nana, for crossing that one off my list.

Here comes the splurge...I fell in love with this boyfriend jacket from J.Crew. However, I would never spend the money and buy it for myself. So I let N know that this would be my perfect gift and it will be waiting under the tree for me on the 25th.

Unlike most people, I'm not into surprise gifts. If I know someone is going to buy me something, I feel I might as well tell them what I'd like and be really happy with it, rather than have to trudge back to the mall and make a return. I feel it's a win-win.

Do you agree? What is on your "wish list" this holiday season?
