Can't you just hear Maria singing this to the Von Trapp children?
Hi dolls! Now that Christmas is over, there is a little emptiness left inside of me. I miss the lights, the smells, the music...but the one remnant of Christmas that still remains are my Christmas gifts! I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite things I got this year, as some of you might want to add them to your list as well.
I must say, Dave did quite well this year. Two of his gifts make my list! The first would be the Kindle Fire.
The Kindle Fire is seriously awesome. You can watch movies, tv shows, play games, check your email,twitter, facebook, (my blog) and the most obvious would be read! It is so nice to not have to run to Barnes and Noble and search through all of their books and try to find the right section and right row and ask for help etc. I love just being able to search "Bestsellers" or "Books you might like." It's wonderful. It is also in COLOR! This gift is a WIN altogether. You want the Kindle Fire. You NEED the Kindle Fire.
Second gift from Dave that I love would be my Oster Electric Wine Opener. Yes people, I cannot open a bottle of wine the normal way. I mess up the cork, the wine tool is confusing... it's just bad in general. The only time I can have wine is if there is someone around to open the bottle for me. For shame. Enter this handy little invention.
Nifty, right?
All I have to do is place the wine opener directly over the top of the bottle, push the down button and once it has drilled all the way into the cork and stops, I just press the up button and VOILA, I have myself an opened bottle of wine. Magic.
I love pjs. In fact, I change into pjs the second I get home from work. I'm sure everyone around me appreciates this... However, a good pair of pajamas is hard to find for a tall girl like me. Hellooo Victoria's Secret The Dreamer Flannel Pajama.
(I do not look like this when I wear them)
Not only are they insanely comfy and come in so many adorable patterns, but they come in LONG girls. You have no idea what that means for us tall girls. I got a pair from my grandma last year and wore them out. I'm talking holes in the shirt. Cute right? No. I needed a new pair, and I was so happy to get the adorable red and white polka dot ones under the tree. I have worn them every night. Don't worry, I wash them during the day. (sometimes) Apparently now they are on sale so get yourself a pair of these! You will be so glad you did!
I also got 2 new pieces of luggage from Mom and Dad! This was desperately needed. My old suitcase had a broken handle due to the lovely airline people and could only roll if I bent down and pulled the attached fabric handle. This was awkward and made people stare at me. So for Christmas I received...
So cute! The smaller size is the perfect carry on and the larger one will be perfect for my overpacking habit. These suitcases are awesome because they come with a warranty and are tear resistant...which is great since the airlines seem to throw luggage around like it can't be damaged. I cannot wait to use these! Maybe this gives me an excuse to plan a trip somewhere...
I hope you all have lots of goodies you are treasuring now that Christmas is over! Valentines is up next, so maybe add one of these to that list! And if you don't have a valentine then buy them for yourself because you're awesome! I have done that more times than I care to admit :) Happy Thursday queens!
xoxo Olivia
