A LOT of My Favorite Things 2011 – Must Have Christmas Items!
One of my least favorite questions asked around the holiday time is…
“What do you want for Christmas?”
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a girl who LOVES gifts, but it’s always hard for me to know what to tell people. Mostly because I’m usually not even aware of what I SHOULD be asking for, and my gifts always seem “too practical”… or at least that’s what Cason says. ha! Does this ever happen to you?
On the flip side…I see people getting all of these cool things, and I say… “I want that!”, but when it actually comes down to listing things I want/need, I always draw a blank.
So for the last few months I have been compiling a Favorite Things list JUST FOR YOU! Items or products that I personally use and love, that I want to share with everyone. I did a post last year of my favorite things, and so I thought I would carry on the tradition. I know that not all of these items will pertain to each and every one of you, but it’s always nice to have suggestions for great products, don’tcha think?
And yes, just so you’re aware, I would totally ask for all of these things from Santa. Even wood floor cleaner. haha!

Oooh! I can't wait to buy something from Hoop-La Earrings! I just got something similar and I love that style! I also love Whippy Cakes & just got my JoTotes bag! Such fun stuff, thanks for sharing!

Such great ideas! I'm going to have to get that Clarasonic thingy. My face is such a struggle.
I love Scentsy too…. I'll have to try that Sunkissed Citrus one. Have you tried Go Go Goji or Camu Camu? Those are my FAVORITES!! Obsessed…

For Reals, best favorite things list ever. Prolly most likely going to buy that angle tool and other nifty tool for the hubs for Christmas. I'm a makeup artist, so I'm a snob with "fancy" face products as well! I also was lusting after the Clarisonic, but before I "let" my husband buy it for me for my birthday, I saw that Olay makes one. It's smaller, but it's only $29.99 @ Target! Woot Woot! I've been using it for just over a week, and it's AMAZE! I already see a difference! Thanks again for the great ideas!

Do you recommend the Multipurpose Oscillating Tool over a mouse sander for sanding purposes? I guess I really need both a little saw and a sander, but I probably sand more than cut. Which do you think does a better job? If you recommend the mouse sander, do you recommend the brand you have (which is…?)? Thanks!

I have to second your recommendation of Udderly Smooth. My son has psoriasis and it's the only cream we have found that moisturizes, but doesn't burn. We all use it on our dry skin and I even use it as my face cream!
Kristi says
Looks like a great list with some really awesome ideas! You have great taste!
Denissa says
K, I NEED the earrings!! So cute ๐ and I also can't live w/out the prep & prime! Cracked up at the spackle comment, so true! And My fav scentsy right now is the sentimental cider too! ๐

I LOVE my mia clarisonic, I was nervous to shell out the money, but won't turn back, and even have my 11 year old son use it! I just checked out the etsy earring shop–SUCH cute earrings!!! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

GREAT list Shelly!!
I'm curious about the lashes……I'm so envious every time you talk about them, BUT my daughter is a stylist and she has told me to never get them (unless you want them for just a one time event)….she said when they fall out (which they do at a much quicker rate than your own lashes) they pull one or two of you own lashes with them. For a one time event she said it would be fine, but not to use it as a permanent solution or you'll end up with none of your own lashes. Thoughts?
