7 Must-Haves For The Holiday Season

Can you smell it?  Mm mm.  I CAN!  The holidays are upon us!  Who needs some gift giving ideas? (Paging my husband…)

7 Holiday Must-Haves

Dance Central for XBOX 360 Kinect.  Because WHO does not love to dance, while losing some extra weight in your own living room, while Also being able to upload your super hot dance moves to All of the internet.

‘Wish for The Perfect Pout’ set of 6 Smashbox lip glosses (from Sephora).  If you didn’t know already, I am in LOVE with lip glosses.  The addiction started with a multitude of chap sticks as a kid, and then I moved onto the gloss.  I just can’t. help. myself.

‘Skinny Italian,’ Teresa Guidice’s cookbook.  Love love love her!  My inner table flipping Jersey girl (who happened to actually be born & bred in Rhode Island) needs. these. recipes.  Who couldn’t use some Healthier Italian recipes to boot?

‘Cold Beverage Jar with Stand’ from Crate and Barrel.  OK, that one doesn’t sound so fantastic, but go on – LOOK at it.  Can you not just see your homemade sangria in that?  Can you hear the ooohs and aaahs from your guests?  (Red wine, I like Red Wine!)

And then there’s what I like to call the big guns.  Shoes and pocketbooks…  oh my.

Uggs! ‘Women’s Ultimate Short’ in sand or chocolate (did I mention my size would be an 8?  Yes, their sizes run a bit different – just in case you were wondering – or wanted to send me some).  Oprah may have just given away the glittery ones as a favorite thing, but I am still partial to these.

‘Madison Dotted Op Art Swingpack’ by Coach in silver/khaki/mahogany…  OR in brass/mahogany…  you know, depending on what color my Uggs are.  I like my colors coordinating, what can I say.  Then again, the all black one would pair nicely with:

Jessica Simpson’s ‘Tessie’ Boot in black new bomber.  And did I mention while they may retail at $210, boots are currently $50 off through 11/30 with coupon code ’50BOOT’ -AND- they happen to have Free standard shipping!  Woo hoo!  Merry Christmas!

Those are My 7 must haves for this holiday season.  (And if still in doubt, you can never go wrong with a gift certificate to your favorite girls hair salon or wherever she gets manicures and pedicures!)  Happy shopping!
