As I got older the emphasis of Christmas gifts is not about receiving but the satisfaction of giving. Most importantly Christmas is not manifested on material things but for the true reason it is celebrated for. In the spirit of Christmas it's that time of the year when we bring up our wish list. But this is a list most likely I would fulfill myself because most of the time I work and spend for my own gifts. Aaand my birthday is coming up right after New Year and my gifts tend to be rolled into a combo. So much for festivities!
- A girl can't have too many bags: I have been looking all over the place for these mint and brown satchels/cross body bags. All I see are those hard box type which do not particularly suit my liking.
- Moleskine Minnie Mouse Limited Ed Notebook: I browsed through Fullybooked's website and got fooled by the error pricing they listed when it's actual very pricey than expected. Sigh. Maybe I'll look for an alternative but equally cute journal. I'll be writing more for the next year!
- Audrey's LBD: Hello to celebrating my birthday in style.
- The Valley of Amazement by Amy Tan: This book revolves around a courtesan in 19th century Shanghai. I'm preparing to snag a (paperback) copy. I cannot wait to be enthralled by Miss Tan's comeback. Also I'd like to include another of Tan's book The Opposite of Fate: Memoirs of A Writing Life.
- And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini: Another most anticipated good read. I hope a paperback copy will be available soon.
- Daisy by Marc Jacobs: Although for sure I won't be getting it this year, but wishful thinking that I will save up for this by my graduation as another achievement gift for myself. And I badly need a signature scent other than smelling like laundry and shampoo.
- Quilted mint wallet: I really do love teal and mint color. And a new replacement for my worn wallet. I don't believe in buying my own wallet, it's an old wives tale they said to keep money coming in someone has to buy you a wallet! Figures..
- Maroon dress: Perfect for the holiday color scheme.
