I’m going to be completely honest with you…I buy my own Christmas gifts. I know this may sound really strange to you, but it works for my husband and me. You see, he hates shopping. It stresses him out trying to find something for me that I’ll love. So for the first few years of our marriage, holidays were very overwhelming and could be contentious. But once we figured out that it would be best for the both of us if I just did my own shopping, we were much happier! He didn’t have to stress about what to get me and I always get what I want. It’s a win win! So whether or not you do your own shopping or create a list to pass onto your significant other or anyone else who’s shopping for you, here is my Christmas wish list to give you some shopping inspo.
How I Create My Christmas Wish List
When I sit down to make my Christmas wish list, I think of a few things:
- What do I need?
- What will I use/wear over and over?
- What have I been wanting but haven’t taken the plunge yet?
- What will elevate my look?
I don’t like to spend money on frivolous things. I want to make good investments that will be versatile and last. So when you’re creating your wish list, keep those things in mind. Don’t just collect clutter. Spend your money on good investments that will make your life more beautiful for years to come!
