Wednesday Wishlist : Dear Santa...


It's another Wednesday Wishlist Linkup Party with Morgan and I today.   Today I am talking all about gifts from Santa (aka Matt)!  I told my husband this year that I didn't want any fancy jewelry this year, but things a little more practical (hello, Valentino pumps).  But really, I just have some clothes and house things that I'd like for Christmas this year.  And the best Christmas gift of all would be moving into our new home (were getting real close)!  So here are a few things that I rounded up:
Dear Santa | Christmas Wishlist

Lulu Base Runner 1/2 Zip - I've always loved workout clothes and especially Lululemon, but I now I REALLY love it.  I wear it all of the time.  As soon as I wake up in the morning, I pretty much always throw on some workout pants and top because it's easy and I'm usually around the house in the morning or taking the dog and baby for a walk.  Some days I'm in them all day and other days I change into real clothes; but nonetheless, I wear them daily.  So I would love some new Lulu for Christmas this year. 
Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Stretch Leather Boot -  When we packed up our house last May, we only left out the bare minimum to bring over to my Mom's house to live and put everything else in storage.  We thought we would only be here 3 or 4 months at the most.  Well, summer has long passed and winter has arrived and all my winter clothes are packed in Pods.  So some gorgeous boots to wear for the rest of winter would be fab! 
Lulu Sweat Once a Day Bag - Love this adorable workout bag.  I actually can't find this color on the website, but they have this style in some other colors. 
Valentino Rockstar Pump- An exceptionally beautiful pair of statement shoes that would make the perfect Christmas present.  I love that these come in 2 1/2" heels because between having a baby and a bad knee, the 4"+ heels are so hard for me to wear nowadays.   I really want the black patent leather with the nude straps, but for some reason these gray one's saved on my computer. 
UGG Dakota Suede Slippers - Since I am at the house more now and run in and outside, I would love a cozy pair of slippers.
iRobot Braava - In the new house, we basically have dark hard wood floors throughout the whole main house.  They are beautiful, but I know they are going to be a pain in the ass to keep clean.  Megan, over at Honey Were Home, blogged about this amazing contraption for mopping up wood floors and I was sold immediately.  I would for Santa to bring me one of these beauties.
Clare Vivier Foldover Clutch - I can get enough adorable clothes and this blue is my all time favorite color.  I wouldn't mind if this found it's way into my new closet!

Gift List 2013 : For the Baby

Baby Brody will be 6 months old at Christmas this year and I am super excited because he will be just old enough to enjoy some fun toys, but I know it is still a little early for him to understand the whole concept.  I am trying to keep myself in check and not by him everything under the sun, but its soooo hard!! Here are a few items I would love to see him get this Christmas.  

Also, I sent my family an Amazon wish list for Brody's Christmas this week and I think they all loved the idea!  It makes it super easy for them to shop for him and gets him things he needs and doesn't already have.  I wish everyone in my family would make an Amazon wish list.  It sure would make life easy :)

Gift List 2013: For the Baby





JCrew Minnetonka baby Fringe Booties - Now that I have started putting shoes on baby Brody, I can't stop!! I love them and they make for the most precious accessory on a baby boy.  
Boon Flair Highchair - After asking for ya'lls help here on which highchair is best, everyone voted for the Boon which I was mostly in favor of anyway except for the fact that it didn't fold up.  But you all convinced me that it is still the best and easy to maneuver around and super fast to clean! Bonuses in my book.  
Sophie la Giraffe Bath Toy - Brody has started trying to put the bath towels in his mouth during bath time and any other little ducky that might be in there with him, so I thought Sophie would be perfect. 
B. One Two Squeezable Blocks - Soft colorful blocks for Brody to squeeze and chew on seem perfect to me. 
Gray Plush Anywhere Chair - I love this little chair and will be perfect by Christmas because he should be sitting up on his own by then. 
Radio Flyer Classic Walker Wagon- I just love this little wagon and picture him walking around the house with this filled up with a pile of his toys. 
Boon Squirt Spoon- He will start eating baby food just after Christmas, so it's the perfect time to load up on all the feeding tools we will need.  
All in One Music Toy- Once he is sitting up on his own, this wooden music toy will be so much fun for him.  He will love seeing himself make all these noises.  I love all the wooden toys out there.  
Discovery Deglingos - Ronronos the Cat Activity Toy- A great toy for the diaper bag or carseat to keep him occupied.
Zoli Gummy Stick Teethers- I've read good things about these little teether sticks. 
Buggy Gear Stroller Organizer and Cooler- We have been taking the BOB out a lot lately, as he has gotten to a good size for fitting in it well.  I don't have any type of drink holder for the stroller yet and I love the idea of this one. It has lots of compartments and even a little cooler to keep milk or a small picnic cold! 



What's on your babies list this year???  What are some must-have items for a 6 month old??

Gift List 2013 : Tech Lover

I am a gadget-obsessed, tech-loving gal and I love everything on this list!  The only thing I own is the Jawbone bracelet, but I would love to have everything on here! 
Gift List 2013: Tech Lovers



UP by Jawbone - I own one of these and love it.  You wear it on your wrist and it tracks your steps and also your sleep at night.  You download the app on your phone and everything is saved on the app.
Belkin Chef Stand for iPad - I am always looking recipes up online and using my iPhone or iPad to read the recipe while I cook.  It would be so nice to have a stand for my iPad that I could keep in my kitchen to read recipes.

Beats by Dr Dre Pill Wireless Speaker -  We love our mini iPhone speakers we have, but it would be nice to have something that put off a little louder music and I heard these are awesome!
iShower Bluetooth Waterproof Shower Speaker - Love the idea of being able to use bluetooth to wirelessly stream music to a shower speaker.   It sure would make singing in the shower sound better.  You can also listen to an audiobook in the bathtub.  I love it.
Perfect Drink App-Controlled Smart Bartending - How do they come up with these things??  Great gadget for the drinker that has everything.
Photo Cube Printer - We are all so guilty of using our phones to take pictures all the time these days...this makes it easy to make some quick hard copies.

Gift List 2013: Stocking Stuffers for Her


When I was browsing Polyvore (the site I use to make my collages), I found an item from this adorable shop called Design Darling.  They have the cutest gifts and accessories and I dedicated this whole collage to her site.  This gift store was started by a blogger, Mackenzie, who had a passion for fashion and interiors.  She was determined to tackle her reader's decorating dilemmas and that's how the online show, Design Darling, was born.  She's done a fabulous job in my opinion.  Check it out for yourself. 
Gift List 2013: Stocking Stuffers for Her

Vase - Love this mint julep cup because it's great to drink out of or makes a perfect vase or holder for things like paper straws or those cute monogrammed drink stirrers.

You're So Freaking Awesome Cards - Because who wouldn't want to receive one of these cards??

Acrylic Shakers - So cute with the monogram

Hot Pink Tassel Key Chain - Not to be lost in a woman's purse.
Baggu Navy/White Sailor Stripe - These bags are great for everything, are lightweight and hold a ton of stuff. 
Glad You Were Born Birthday Card - Letterpress cards are the bomb.
Monogrammed Stir Sticks - Would look adorable styled on your bar cart. 
Nautical home accessory - a great catch-all tray for jewelry or keys or anything small that needs a home. 
Acrylic Tape Dispenser - perfect tape dispenser for the home office.


What do you like to receive in your stocking???  In my house growing up, the stocking was always are favorite thing to open.  There is something about all the small treasure that can fit in one little stocking.  I still love them the most!!

Gift List 2013: For Him

Guys are always tough to shop for in my opinion.  They typically tend to be less interested in the "things" and the clothes than women are and never are very good at telling you exactly what they want...or at least this has been my experience. 

I rounded up a few items here that I may be planning on giving my husband this year as well as a few items I have given him in the past that he absolutely adores and so I thought I would share the love.  If you missed it yesterday, I posted some stocking stuffer ideas for him too. 

Gift List 2013: For Him

LL Bean Toiletry Bag - There are some really nice looking toiletry bags out there for men, but not many are as practical and organized as this one from LL Bean.  I had a few of these growing up and they were great and I purchased one for my husband as a gift and he has been hooked ever since.  It has so many great compartments and a hook to hang it up and is very durable.  Plus you can monogram it!
Easy Shine Electric Shoe Polisher - What man couldn't use a nice shoe polisher??
Michael Kors Silver Wrist Watch - My husband doesn't wear a watch, but he talks about them and I think he would wear it if I found the right one.  Michael Kors kills it with great women's watches and I love this one for the men.  I might have to consider it...
USB Phone Charger for iPhone - JCrew sold something similar to this last year, but these are great for an extra boost on your iPhone when your battery is dead.
Tumi Leather Briefcase - My husband told me the other day that this is his all time favorite gift I have ever given him.  It wasn't cheap my friends, but it was so worth it.  He has carried it every day since I gave it to him as his briefcase and he loves how durable it is and all the great compartments.   If your man is in need of a new briefcase, I highly recommend this one.
Baxter Check Whale Shirt - We love us some Vineyard Vines in our household.  Matt always gets some of these shirts for Christmas because I love them and so does he.  I can't wait until I can start dressing the little man up in some VV.
Beats Headphones - Fantastic headphones for a traveling man plus they are super stylish...


Other Gift Lists:
I hope these items help you shop for the men in your life this year and I always love to hear what you have come up with so please share with a comment!!

Gift List 2013 : Stocking Stuffers for Him


Home of Malone's is bringing you gift ideas every day between now and Thanksgiving starting today.  I love Christmas and I love the feeling of giving a gift to friends or family that I know they are going to love.  Unfortunately, it isn't always easy and sometimes it is really difficult to find the perfect gift; but when you do, it feels so good!  So my goal these next 10 days is to help you find the perfect gift for someone or help trigger your mind for a different gift idea. Good luck and happy shopping!  

Gift List 2013: Stocking Stuffers for Him



Fair Isle Camp Socks - A nice pair of socks for the winter time are always appreciated. 
Ray-Ban Aviators - Who doesn't love a great pair of aviators??
iHome Portable Speaker - We own one of these and use it all the time.  It is so small and compact and they sell for around $20.  
Santa Palm Sail Boxer Shorts - I love Vineyard Vine boxers and so does my husband.  They have lots of cute patterns and colors to choose from.  
5 Piece Manicure Set - Great kit to have and it comes with the carrying case.  Perfect travel size. 
Whiskey Stones - These make for a great cocktail and keep the drink cold without watering it down.  
Vineyard Vine Camo Koozie - A cute koozie to stuff in the stocking and maybe put a RedBull inside of it for a nice pick-me-up to make it through all the Christmas day activities! 

Other lists to look forward to...


What do you put in his stocking?  Do you have a tradition of something you always include in his stocking??
