Never before has my family exchanged Christmas Wish Lists... never... not even when I was a kid.  BUT, for some reason, this year, as a grown ass woman, I decided to email a list to my entire family.  After I hit SEND, I immediately regretted my decision and felt like a selfish B... but I really want this stuff... ugghhhhh

Sent to my entire family:

Hello Family,

I know we've never done this in the past, BUT... here I am, a single gal in a big big world, and there are some items I need (and a few I want). :)  Don't get me wrong, the greatest gift this and and every Christmas is spending time with all of you.  I love you all dearly.  However, IF you planned on getting me a gift this year, allow me to make your shopping / selection a bit easier.  And please know, this is not a selfish gesture... I encourage you to send me your wants and needs as well.  I'd love to wrap up somethin' real special for ya. :D  Merry Christmas!  I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Nicole's Christmas Wish List

*arm band for iPhone (when I work out, I listen to music on my phone... need something to strap it to me)

*workout headphones (mine broke)

*seat belt bag - (LOVE these bags and need a good work bag)
http://maggiebags.net/products/leconte-messenger - I like this one in black.

*pin-up pics / rug (I'd like to frame a few to hang in my apartment.  Really any decor that is cool, vintage, retro, and sexy feminine is up my alley... I'm on the hunt for a retro rug 3 x 5.  My apt colors are black, tan, red, and purple.)

*cool wine glasses (white wine is my jam)

*silverware (I literally have 3 spoons.)

*Aldo boots - size 9 - http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/boots/mid-boots/90892611-leerar/97 - IN LOVE with these boots

*rolls of quarters (always necessary for laundry)

*candles (I love to light candles while I'm hanging out at home.  I prefer vanilla, cake, or citrus scents.)

*”Pitch Perfect” on DVD - (hilarious movie! I'm hoping it will be on DVD before Christmas.)

*”Six Feet Under” DVDs - (HBO series)

*fun, sassy HOOP earrings (I wear hoops erryday.)

*wallet (something I can keep my checkbook in plus multiple cards plus change)

*luggage (I need a new durable suitcase... bigger than a carry on size.)

If you're doing quick shopping, I always love gift cards!

Love,

The Oldest Daughter
