Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh

It's never too late to share wonderful Christmas gifts you received, right?!  I remember doing this last year and several people told me they enjoyed it so I thought I would do it again.  We got many wonderful gifts and I'm not going to list them all, but below are a couple of the gifts that found spots in our home this past weekend once everything resembling Christmas was put away.

1. fashionABLE scarf - You must check out their site here.  When you purchase a scarf, it in turn creates sustainable business for women in Africa.  I now have 2 of their scarves and love them both!  Each are personalized with their own note as seen in the picture.
 

2.  Stella & Dot charms - I love these charms to represent myself & my lovely dear, Ry.  I plan to put them on a necklace.


3.  Michael Kors Golden Runway Watch w/ Glitz - I had seen this watch recently online, but kept going back and forth on if I really thought I would like to own it.  Well, one of our  wonderful "Santas" brought it and I LOVE it.


4. Hobo International Lauren Wallet - I saw this wallet for the 1st time this summer when my friend, Elizabeth, whipped hers out.  I decided then that I had to have it becuse it was the perfect size for what I like in a wallet.  And once again, I am in love.  And I love the orange color, too.  So easy to find in my purse!


5.  Special Edition Keurig - Ryan and I have always wanted one of these.  We are much more 1 cup of coffee kind of people than a whole pot of coffee kind of people.  So this is pefect!  Not to mention I love iced beverages as well and this makes those, too. 


6 - Frye Harness Boots - I have been wanting a pair of Frye boots for quite some time knowing you can wear them any time of year and they will last you for years and years.  My sister-in-law and I went to Charlottesville so I could check out the different kinds and decide which ones I liked best on.  The Harness boots won and my husband put these under the Christmas tree for me this year!



6.  Southern Point YETI cooler - Last but not least, this gift was actually for my husband from me.  He had mentioned in the past wanting a YETI cooler, but I had told him I didn't think we had any need for one.  Somewhere along the line I caved and ended up buying the below one for him for Christmas.  He loves it!  Sidenote: I ordered the Southern Point version because of our beloved dog, Hokie.  She is a [German Short-Haired] Pointer.


So there ya have it.  A Christmas gift wrap-up if you will. :) Did you receive anything that I MUST put on my 2012 Christmas wish list?!  If so, do share please!

  1. R bought me that same Keurig! We LOVE it! It has already paid for itself b/c we aren't going to Sheetz (R) or McDonald's (me) for a caffeine kick. Timer cuts on around 6:30 so that it's ready to go by the time we are ready to head out the door. The Cafe Mocha is our favorite. He also bought me a diamond (my birthstone) pendant cross necklace with a heart around the center in rubies (K's birthstone). Other than my engagement ring, it's the nicest piece of jewelry that I now own! =)

    LOVE your boots, btw!!!
