Wish List – Want, Need, Wear, Read
It’s time for Show and Tell Tuesday with Andrea and today it’s all about showing off four gifts you would like to receive in the categories want, need, wear, read. Hmm….I may need the definition between want and need. Ha! Personally I like to give Santa lots of options! Grab your list and join the fun.
Also joining Sarah and Victoria for Day 1 of their Christmas link up! Hop over and see all the fun prompts they have planned each day through the 15th.
Those things I really want but no I do not really need right now but would be so fun to show up if Santa was so inclined to drop them off! My current iPhone works just find but has a battery life of like 10 minutes it seems. I’ve heard the camera is amazing on the iPhone 7 too! I have never purchased a pair of nice sunglasses for myself and probably never will but I would love to have a pair of Ray-Bans instead of the ones I usually purchase for $11.99 at CVS. I’ve heard so many reviews about the Instant Pot 
and as much as we cook I really think it would be used but it is definitely much more expensive than my regular crock pot. Finally, my Nikon 50mm prime lens
is about 10 years old and has started failing to auto focus. This lens is a must for moms who really want to get into photography and I’ve missed using mine.

Am I the only one who loves great undergarments but hates spending money on them? I need some panties friends and having theseVictoria Secret seamless panties show up in my stocking would not disappoint! Socks are a another item I tend to skip as I really like these nice Balega socks for my workouts and they are pricey. My house shoes are probably as old as my youngest child and they are pretty shot. These Minnetonka slippers look so cozy. Have you ever used a resistance band
for stretching? Well you must NOT be my age because these bands make all the difference for me but currently I do not have one at home and I’m only using at the gym.

When I saw these Zella leggings I immediately wanted them! Love the cut out detail and the high waist. I love my cognac over the knee boots so much that I would love to have a black pair. It has been tricky finding a pair tall enough to actually make it over my entire knee so I’m not even positive this pair would work but I do love this pair from Sole Society. My running shoes are over a year old and it’s time to think about replacing them so why not have Santa pick me a new pair!
Y’all, I am so not going to meet my goal to read a book a month this year. I love reading but it somehow gets dropped first. Wild and Free as well as Present Over Perfect
are both on my list to read. I will also not spend money on magazines but absolutely love reading them! Crazy, I know! When I’m gifted a subscription to a magazine I love to browse through I really do get kind of excited. It may be the memories of grabbing that Seventeen magazine every month (or sneaking my mom’s Cosmo) but I love finding a magazine in the mailbox. Of course with the anticipation over the Gilmore Girls release THIS FRIDAY, I’m also very interested in reading this book from Lauren Graham, Talking as Fast as I Can

Let’s Get Social
Super cute items!! Those socks and those leggings!
I loved reading Seventeen too! It was the best day EVER when it would come in the mail or you would find the new month's issue at the store!
And I'm loving those boots and leggings!
I'll take one of each of your ideas;). Awesome list
The best!! Of course these days I get excited about anything in the mail that is not junk mail. Haha Fingers crossed on the boots & leggings. 🙂
i know….I seriously am dying to pull the trigger on the leggings Sarita!!!!
My mom usually gives me some kind of magazine subscription and I always love it. Seventeen used to be my favorite too. Sometimes it can be hard to squeeze in time to read a book, although I love reading. I also love those leggings. You have some really cute things on this list. Have a great day! …And get yourself some Raybans. I got mine at Costco for cheap (cheaper than at other retailers). 🙂
Thanks Kimm! Hope you guys are doing well.
Thanks for the Costco tip Jenna…we don't have one here but I may have to check Sams too.
This was such a cute way to put together your list. I may have to do mine that way too… except the reading part. I never read :P. I think I just read all the live long day with the girls so it isn't exactly relaxing to me to do on my own.
I think I am the only blogger who doesn't love her 50mm lens. It is just a LOT of walking and hard to use inside since it is fixed. They are a fun novelty items though, I just don't use it much at all and know some people who use it ALL the time. It is fun for the bokeh though. I also really need some new workout socks and some underwear too. The basics get me every time 😛
Slippers yes! I always need slippers. It doesn't even get that cold, but I love having warm feet!
I love my iphone 7! It took me a while to say that, coming from a Samsung Note, but I finally bit the bullet and switched. And Santa always brings new bras and panties from VS!
Girl, my iPhone battery is right there in the same boat as yours. It's always completely dead by lunchtime so I'm having to constantly charge it. So annoying!
Seriously girl…some nights I lay it on my night stand with like 25% battery and it's completely dead by morning. WTH…that's not right. 🙂 I'm sure I have some app running non stop or something crazy.
Ugh…I so want one Laura!!!!
I'm always running kids to and fro and it would be nice to have a pair to just slip on. I have cold feet and hands all the time!
I really love mine most for taking individual shots of my kids Beth…and for the bokeh mainly. I seriously hate buying panties and socks for myself….but it's about that time. 🙂
All of those books look good! I need to look into them!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Love your list Shelly!! I need those glasses! LOL And your Christmas card is wonderful!! I should've linked up!
Yeah, I need to use mine more often. I will say the most common time for me to use it is the month of December!!!!
That is a great price on the Brooks!
Balega socks are the best! They are worth every penny!
I decided to do the 4 things for my kids this year. I had a hard time with it because apparently everyone in my family has everything they want and can't come up with ideas. Grrrrrrr. You had some Great ideas! I love several items you have on your lists! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Christmas is always so hard….I want to surprise my kids but it seems like every year at this time they are needing new cold weather clothes and shoes and I end up buying so much in November that spending a lot on gifts is tough.
Agreed Kellyann…I would not have ever thought a sock could make such a difference but I love these.
I couldn't wait for Santa, Pam! I received them this past week and I LOVE them!!
Me too Katie…..but I am TERRIBLE about keeping up with sunglasses. I'm always scared to buy a nice pair.
After watching the Gilmore Girls release last week I really think I'm going to have to order Lauren Grahams book!
I want a resistance band too!! So many workouts from the site I like to use call for one.. Now I'm just going to put the one you linked on my list, haha!
Love your list! I love the idea of getting a magazine subscription for Christmas!

You have so many great things on your list. I need to add a new phone to my list as well! Those Minnetonka slippers look so comfy and cozy, and I'm thinking I need to read that Lauren Graham book!

Ok, I think that 50mm fixed lens is a need….. I'd also love that insta pot! This is a great idea and I may need to join in the fun.
Sorry for the late response Danielle! I really do love the 50mm especially for portrait type shots. I still haven't opened the insta pot….trying to hold out for Christmas and pretend Santa brought it. haha
My phone is ridiculous right now Kelcy! Just ridiculous. My friend Katy finished the Lauren Graham book in a day. She said it was a fun/easy read and she only wished it had gone a little deeper.
