For the girl who has everything.

Admittedly, I am a shopper. I see, I like, and I buy.

Unless I can't afford it, of course. Then I see, I like, and I cry. So if you're at the mall someday, and you see a girl sniffling outside of Jimmy Choo? Yeah, that's probably me.

Hubs gets mad at me when I say I can't think of anything I'd like for Christmas.

Just his love is enough.

(Haha, right. His love better come wrapped in a Marc Jacobs bag, if he knows what's good for him.)

(Just kidding. Kinda.)

(iHubs? Anyone? Anyone?)

So I present to you Tia's Wish List of Items That Better Appear Either Under the Tree or Sometime In the Next Year Otherwise She's Likely to Open a New Credit Card and Buy Them for Herself: Christmas '08 Edition.

(Joking again! Credit cards are bad news! I'll just start selling Hubs' stuff.)

1. The Amazon Kindle. So, if you've never heard of this, it's like a book nerd's dream come true. Basically, it's an iPod for your books, and you can download new ones right from the device, paying only the book price with no internet fee. It does a bunch of other cool stuff too. I love the idea of being able to get the new hardback-only titles for a fraction of the cost, save trees, and bring 200 books with me wherever I go. Some people may argue that the best thing about reading is the ACTUAL BOOK, but I beg to differ. I love books, and I won't stop buying them. I equate it to the iPod situation. I still buy CDs, but I ALSO download on iTunes. I like options.




2. Christian Dior "Day" Sunglasses. I only have one pair of decent sunglasses, and I want another. However, they fall under the category of "not likely to buy for myself." I'm not sure why. I just don't ever think about it, and instead spend my money elsewhere. Like in the shoe department.




3. W Magazine or Vogue subscription. If you've never thought about getting a magazine subscription for someone, let me tell you, it's a FABULOUS gift for a reasonable price. Plus, I always bring my mags into the salon after I've read them, so it's ALSO like recycling. Right?



4. Thomas O'Brien Pewter Blossom Bedding. I'm coveting this duvet and sheets. Since we painted our bedroom, I've wanted to change EVERYTHING. Does wanting bedding for Christmas make me an old lady? I like to sleep in style, so what?




5. Nikon D40. I really want a fancy digital camera. My mom has one and it's great. I have a nice 35mm, and I LOVE it, but the price of film and, you know, TECHNOLOGY and stuff gives it a home in my closet, and instead I'm always using my little crappy digital point-and-shoot. I'm afraid to ask Hubs for it, though, because he'll buy it, and I don't want him to spend a lot of money. (I mean, I DO, but he shouldn't.)



6. Edward/RPattz. C'mon, that one's a given.
   

Anyhoodle, that's what I have so far.

I'm super excited this year about all of the gifts I'm giving, and I can't wait for Christmas to be here. It's my most favorite time of the year.

Now, if the weather will just cooperate, we'll be in business. Hello, 80 degree days? Yeah, August called and wants you back. Get the hell out of "winter."

My house is decorated, my to-buy lists are organized, and I'm looking forward to the holiday season. Well, with the exception of eggnog. That's just gross.

(Just out of curiosity, do you think Edward/RPattz could survive in a gift-wrapped box? Probably, right? I mean, vampires don't have to breathe.)

(Maybe there should be some air holes, though, just in case.)
