Happy Thursday! This is my FAVORITE gift guide because it’s all about things that spark joy for me, regardless of how unlikely these are to end up under my tree Christmas morning.

I’ll start with the most ridiculous item on my wish list: a La Cornue range. Not only is this pricey, this gift would require a kitchen remodel. But, a girl can dream. I think I like the matte black best, but I’ll take any. If you’re on the hunt for a new stove, take a gander at this: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/cornufe-110-range/?pkey=cstoves. Have you ever seen a prettier appliance?

Clearly I need new pans to go with my new stove. The green technology and pretty color of this set are a dream come true for me. In all honesty, many of my pans are from our wedding registry many moons ago and could be replaced even if I don’t get a new stove (which I’m not). See for yourself here: https://amzn.to/46Jk0xb

The kids want weights for the basement and I guess I’ll add to the home gym setup with a treadmill. I’ll need a convenient way to burn off all the calories I’ll be cooking up with my new stove and pans. Following lots of research and polling of friends, I decided I want Santa to bring me a Sole Fitness treadmill. I’m not too picky about the particular model.

As you know, we are a big skiing family. I haven’t updated my ski wardrobe in a while and I think it’s high time. I wandered into the Stio store when we were in Park City last winter and decided that I need to add some of their pieces to my closet. Stio products are an investment, but the quality is evident in the price. Santa, I would love the Environ jacket and pant!

Reading is my favorite pastime, and I’ve got two books on my list for Santa. The first is, not surprisingly, Britney’s memoir. I love a pop culture deep dive. To be honest, this will likely be purchased today. I can’t wait until Christmas! Join me in reading Britney’s side of the story here: https://amzn.to/3tHa6xc

Britney Spears’s Memoir

My fascination with serial killers is probably not normal, so Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll immediately made its way to the top of my to-be-read list. I would love to indulge in this novel during those slow days between Christmas and New Years. If you also like frightening tales, click here: https://amzn.to/46IsNiF

Two women from opposite sides of the country are brought together by violent acts of the same man, and become allies and sisters in arms as they pursue the justice that would otherwise elude them in one of the most acclaimed, highly anticipated thrillers of the year.

Masterfully blending elements of psychological suspense and true crime, Jessica Knoll—author of the bestselling novel Luckiest Girl Alive and the writer behind the Netflix adaption starring Mila Kunis—delivers a new and exhilarating thriller in Bright Young Women. The book opens on a Saturday night in 1978, hours before a soon-to-be-infamous murderer descends upon a Florida sorority house with deadly results. The lives of those who survive, including sorority president and key witness, Pamela Schumacher, are forever changed. Across the country, Tina Cannon is convinced her missing friend was targeted by the man papers refer to as the All-American Sex Killer—and that he’s struck again. Determined to find justice, the two join forces as their search for answers leads to a final, shocking confrontation.

Blisteringly paced, Bright Young Women is “Jessica Knoll at her best—an unflinching and evocative novel about the tabloid fascination with evil and the dynamic and brilliant women who have the real stories to tell” (Laura Dave, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Thing He Told Me); and “a compelling, almost hypnotic read and I loved it with a passion” (Lisa Jewell, New York Times bestselling author of None of This Is True).

I’d wear this Katie Klime apres ski robe while lounging around and reading. Even better, it’s the perfect robe for ski trips when you need something to wear as you jaunt out to the hot tub. I love a robe. I have several and wear them daily: winter robes, summer robes, robes for getting ready, robes for just out of the shower, etc. My children inherited my love for a robe, so maybe I should get one of these for Emery. The most beautiful toile robe is linked here: https://www.katiekime.com/products/apres-ski-toile-robe-2?Color=Pink+Red&Size=S%2FM

I promise this will not be my reaction if this is under the tree for me.

Both my kids asked for Uggs, so I may as well jump on the bandwagon and ask Santa for a pair myself. I adore these fluffy brown Tazz slippers because the accent color is pink instead of red. The cream color is also cute, but I need the pop of pink. Decide here: https://amzn.to/3SfdEkL

I was so tempted to buy this LG portable monitor during Prime days, but it sold out. I’m happy to report that it’s available again! I can think of many uses for this, but the first thing that pops into my head is how nice it would be to have in the bathroom so I can stream while showering and getting ready. Ridiculous, I know. My whole family would enjoy this, but I’m including it on my list. I might share.

• Blurring the line between a television and tablet, this touch screen display frees you from power outlets and cables with a built-in battery that lets you work or play wherever you want
• Five wheels in the base allow you to easily roll the StanbyMe over even surfaces from room to room. A rotatable screen easily sets the touch screen monitor in portrait or landscape mode
• Wirelessly mirror content from your phone, tablet, or laptop via NFC—just tap your device to the NFC logo on the rear of the screen for immersive content on a larger screen
• Airplay2 support lets you stream, share, or mirror your favorite content from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Use the Home app or Siri on your Apple devices with HomeKit to control the power, inputs, and volume*
• Intuitive touch controls and a remote give you plenty of options to stay in control with comfort. In addition to the remote, batteries, stand, mobile device holder, power cable and quick start guide are included

Beauty products make excellent stocking stuffers, so I use Christmas as an opportunity to replenish my ride or die items.

I’ve tried nearly every tinted sunscreen on the planet over the years and I keep coming back to the OG Elta. The price point is reasonable, the color is good and it just feels nice. See for yourself or gift to someone on your list by clicking here: https://amzn.to/40rXGWB

Another frequent purchase is Obagi Vitamin C serum. It’s pricey, but I promise it helps with sun damage. Lord knows I have plenty of that. This particular formula doesn’t affect the way makeup goes on, nor does it irritate my skin. My mom gets me this every year as part of my gift and I am always thrilled to receive it. You will be, too: https://amzn.to/3MiDwrV

I am a big fan all things Moroccan Oil, so while these next two items are not repurchases, I am sure I will love them. The scent alone is enough to sell me. But seriously, I know I need to be better about protecting my hair when I use heat and this Moroccan Oil Perfect Defense Heat Protectant has fabulous reviews.

Moroccan Oil Heat Spray

Moroccan Oil shower gel was brought to my attention on Instagram by TIBAL (if you know you know). It’s a splurge considering it’s shower gel, but that’s the best part about a gift! Santa, I want the original fragrance, but they all sound amazing. Decide here: https://amzn.to/497Njek

I feel more justified than ever sending this link to my family after the crazy month we’ve had! Mama’s mental load is at an all time high at the moment.

Happy shopping!
