Birthday wishlist!

June not only brings a new half of the year, but also my birthday in 8 days. (not that I'm counting or anything...) I make a wishlist just like it's Christmas because my birthday is like a holiday to me. :) Here's a sneak peek into what I'm lusting after for my 20th.

 Victoria's Secret PINK Mets Hoodie

 Darren Criss, obviously

 Mini Filled Cupcake Pan

 Lonchamp Large Le Pilage Tote bag

 Sigma 12 Purple Brush Kit

 Birthday Cake Ring

 Apple iPad

Hearts and Tarts for Guys!

Guys are hard to buy for, plain and simple, no matter what holiday. It's not really a man's holiday, to be honest. But I love giving gifts, so Valentine's Day is just another day to show how much he means to me! I am by no means an expert gift giver, but I think a lot of the pressure can be taken off if you know what your guy likes! These are going to be more general ideas, way less specific items than on the girls list because I left a lot to be customized and personalized for the guy in your life!!

 Witty and Funny T-shirts: 80stees.com (Varies)

 C.O. Bigelow Mens Barber Collection: Bath and Body Works (Varies, but currently products are Buy 2, Get 1 Free!!)

 3D Valentine's Boxers: American Eagle ($12.50 each/2 for $20)

 Sprinkles Cupcakes (XO's featured): Sprinkles (3.50 each/$39 dozen)

Roku Streaming Player: Roku.com ($59.99)

Giftcards

I usually do not support the use of gift cards as presents. (Something my mom taught me) But for Valentine's Day, it can be perfect for your guy because it can be for his favorite store or for the movies for you and him, or even a dinner date! This is a fun way for you to pay for his present or for a date without him objecting. :)

I hope I helped give you some ideas or maybe I sparked some of your own that I didn't mention! Don't stress about what to get him because he's usually not hard to please and he'll love anything you get him. He'll think anything was thoughtful, trust me. :) Stay tuned for the final installment of Hearts and Tarts gifts, it's my favorite one!!!

Gifts for Best Friends (Girls)

One of my absolute favorite things about the Holiday's is giving gifts especially gifts to my best friends. Thankfully for me, they're all very much like me, so that takes a lot of the guesswork out of what to get them. These items are all very girly and generic girl gifts, so they can work for friends, sisters, coworkers, mom's etc. I'm not sure which ones of my best friends will be reading this, but their gifts will be on this page no doubt.

Gifts for Me.

I figured that my first gift post should be a gifts for me, for when you feel like treating yourself to a little something special. I am one to reward myself for even the smallest of accomplishments just because it feels good, even if it doesn't feel good to my wallet. These are inexpensive and fun items of all sorts I found that I'd buy if I could.

Heather Champagne Dress ($48) - This adorable grey and champagne combo is heavenly for fall. It's a mini dress, so I'll get a few more weeks of wear with it alone or with a cardigan, but the great thing for winter would be pairing it with tights or stockings. Found at Fredflare.

Lightweight Dip-Dye Infinity Scarf ($14) - I love love love colors in this scarf. The possibilities are endless. I'd probably wear it with a white t-shirt and jeans often, but it is versatile enough to mix with other colors or patterns. Found at Fred Flare.

Speak Now: Taylor Swift Deluxe Edition ($16.99) - This is probably the only item on this list that I definitely DEFINITELY will be purchasing when it comes out on Monday in TWO DAYS! I'm a Taylor Swift-aholic and I've been anxiously anticipating her new album. I put it on this list because it is a list of gifts for me and this is a gift I will be running out to buy! Found at Target.

Kate Spade 2011 Desk Calendar ($22) - I'm quite in love with Kate Spade, but sadly she's a little more than out of my current budget. This planner totally isn't. I think the doodles are adorable and are actually found on the inside too. It has fun little ideas about all sorts of things for the whole year plus it can keep me organized! So awesome.  Found at Fredflare.

 

Shiny Denim Makeup Bag in Smoke ($14) - If you're noticing a pattern of smokey grey tones, don't be surprised. I've absolutely fallen head over heels for grey's this fall. I reallllly need a smaller makeup case and found this one. There are multiple pockets and it looks really compact. Found at American Apparel.

 

 Stack of Four Rings in Black/Grey ($4.80) - I like stackable rings a lot. It gives you the freedom to wear all, or one, or two or whatever combination you want. I think this set is really simple and cute and could really play up any outfit. I love accessories, but I don't wear a lot of them. This is perfect for me because it's not over the top and I'm really a ring kind of girl. Found at Forever 21.

Bow Accent Beret in Grey ($6.80) - Fall and winter really make me LOVE hats. I have a few berets already, but I have a sheer obsessions with bows and obviously the color gray, here it is AGAIN. I like that this has an elastic interior band to stay better on your head which is sometimes an issue for me. You should of see me in my grad cap...hah; it kept falling. But anyways, this one is found at Forever 21.

Hope you enjoyed this little list of fun items I'm loving right now! Have a good Saturday, loves. Keep following and commenting, I love it!!
