I'm one of those lucky (???) people whose birthday falls very close to Christmas; so is my husband. Mine is the 23rd, and his is the 26th. For years, we've dealt with the "combined present" syndrome; luckily, though, we never do that to each other, since we've put up with it individually for so many years.
In the spirit of helping out family members who may (or may not) be searching for gift ideas for me, I've created my own wish list; besides, I know you all like to look at pretty things. :)
this book about Louisa May Alcott -- she's become one of my favorite writers to read about
these lovely Lotus stud earrings from Etsy.com
the Janice Mixed-Media Tote from Delia*s
this leather cuff from Lisa Leonard Designs, with the phrase "be here now" stamped on it
this sweater from Gap, in exactly this color
the movie soundtrack for Where the Wild Things Are (and I wouldn't mind the book about the making of the movie either)
the Oddfellow's Postcard collection from Inside a Black Apple
