Home Items
I have been researching wool duvets because they are supposed to be nice to use during the warmer months. I have a down duvet which is my absolute favorite but it gets me slightly too hot for year round comfort.
I think the rug would work well in so many rooms of my home.
Recently bought this table and I love it! We have it in our "entrance hallway" and I just love the first impression we are able to make now.
I would love to ge this style of stool for my kitchen counter. I have always loved French inspired items but these bistro stools have been on my wishlist for the longest time. Some day I will have enough money saved up that I won't feel guilty spending the money to buy them.

Books I want to read
Romance
from Amazon.com: "Bridgerton meets Gossip Girl with a dash of Jane Austen, in Reputation, a Regency-era historical romantic comedy with a deliciously feminist twist, from a hilarious new British voice, Lex Croucher."
Apparently the third in a series, so I will have to track down the first two before I get to this one. But, what intrigued me about this was the description from Christie Ridgway which says, "Waters' prose harkens back to foundational Regency romance author Georgette Heyer..." Having recently read all of Heyer's regency novels that I could get my hands on I am eager to read more like that.
Literary fiction
Isn't this cover pretty?
from Amazon.com: "...a novel of art, time travel, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon five hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space."
Lifestyle
The first of two points of favor for this book: a pretty cover. The second is the first name of the author. I have been loving design books since we moved since I finally have a home I can make my own.

Christmas gift ideas 2018
This is perfect because my older kids love LEGO and video games.
Some of the figures they (and other kids might) want are Sonic the Hedgehog or this fun set pictured below
There are some less expensive figures available as well such as this set of Powerpuff Girls or Homer Simpson or Unikitty. Speaking of Unikitty these make AWESOME stocking stuffers. That's a blind bag which are the biggest thing for my 5 and 7 year old. There are tricks to making sure you don't get doubles, you can find those tips my searching on youtube.
If you happen to be shopping for younger children you might like to check our Fat Brain toys. I love this one.
Doesn't that look like fun? I can see my older boys teaching our toddler how to do it and having a blast too.
Remember fidget spinners that were huge for a few months?
This is another type of fidget toy that looks like fun and safe for children one year and older.
This set looks fun for older toddlers and younger big kids.
I hope these ideas help you get a start on your holiday shopping! It's the most wonderful time of the year!
