I'm sure that you all have heard (read?) about how much I hate the holidays but reality that isn't entirely true. I hate the religious aspect of it (Jesus was born in March, y'all) and I hate how stupid people act when it comes to buying gifts for people. My advice? Don't buy shit just to buy it. Gifting for the sake of giving a gift is stupid. Is there any real thought into randomly selecting a sweater or even a gift card for someone who probably owns plenty of sweaters and doesn't really need anything?

I hate shopping for people who don't NEED anything. It's even worse if I don't know the person well enough to get a gag gift (for my sister's birthday I got her a Shake Weight) or something sentimental (like a framed photo of Avery). In fact, the grandparents will all be getting one of a kind pieces of art from Avery because she's talented with finger paints and I like to encourage her creativity. Also? Canvases and paint are cheap and it's the kind of craft that keeps her occupied for at least thirty minutes. It's a win-win!

ANYWAY, just because I'm not getting YOU anything for Christmas this year doesn't mean that you can't buy something for ME. I'm in NEED. Sure, I posted my wish list last week but the more I thought about it I realized that I left off some things that might make my home merrier this holiday season. I have some decorations up but it isn't what I imagine when I close my eyes and mentally decorate my home. Basically what I'm saying is that you need to get me the following holiday gifts and then get one for yourself because OBVIOUSLY:

1.Set of four candy cane dip bowls. If I were throwing a holiday party this would be a must-have!!
2. Shatterproof ornaments? HELL YEAH. If you have kids you can't have breakable ornaments.
3. Snowman cookie jar. That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. EVER.
4. Ornament wine charm tree. What a fun way to display the charms before using them? Now DRINK, damn you!
5. Disco ball ornaments. Oooh, shiny!
6. Red spiral glassware. Like a candy cane except that it holds your booze!
7. Sea animal ornaments. Squids and octopi are huge this year so hang a few on your tree! Ink!
8. Merry Christmas metal photo holder. How cool is that? I would use it to display holiday cards but that's just me.
9. Mercury snowflake candle holders. This would make a great gift to someone with very good taste and modern home decor.
10. Colorful tree. It's 20" tall and would look badass on a mantle. Like mine.
11. Keep Calm & Have a Cocktail stationery. What an great hostess gift!
12. Peace wreath. I would leave this up year-round. Also, how rad is that?!

So if you happen to stop into Pier 1 this holiday season feel free to get me one of each of the above and finish your shopping on a high note while you're in there; Pier 1 is accepting gifts for Toys for Tots and if you check out their Facebook page you can help them raise even more money for the organization.
