I think I’ve mentioned a few or forty times how much I love the holidays, and Christmas in particular. It’s my favorite! For a million reasons, but mostly for the warm fuzzy feeling I get when I think about this time of year. I’ll wait here while you take a minute to go gag.

But seriously kids, my parents can check off “Make them love Christmas” on their kid-raising checklist, because this girl is a fan. I’ve been sharing a lot about my plans and possibilities for others, but to make it easy on my loved ones, here’s a few things topping my own Santa wishlist (because some didn’t realize more than half of my Etsy faves are gift ideas for others!):

1. The Pro VSCO Film Pack ~ A new set of Lightroom presets that perfectly mimic those film results I’m such a huge fan of! The results look better than anything I’ve seen on the market yet, and they’re for Lightroom, which = saving lots of time. Are they more of a business expense? Absolutely. But mama doesn’t wanna wait until the new year. Gimme gimme gimme.

2. Vintage Camera iPhone Case ~ It’s perfect! The one I’ve had for two years has served me very well, but it’s not looking too cute after all my klutzy fingers have done (as in, I drop it a lot).

3. Heart Shaped Amethyst Ring ~ I’ve been admiring Moora Seal’s work for a long time. Big chunky rings like this are what I always gravitate to! And I absolutely love the rough-cut look.

4. Folk Unicorn Scarf ~ Pretty much every morning I can be found in some sort of scarf and cardigan combo, and this gorgeous printed scarf would be a great way to help mix up my unofficial uniform. I mean, come on, it’s unicorns. You can’t go wrong. I think I’m drawn to it because it kind of reminds me of Norwegian rosemaling.

5. The Handy Dandy Hand Strap ~ Since the only time I use the strap on my camera is to hang on my shoulder when I need both hands, I’m thinking it’s time to just go ahead and downsize to a hand strap. Plus, I’ve beaten the current strap almost to a pulp; it’s starting to get embarrassing!

6. Aveda’s Enbrightenment Set ~ This line seriously works for my skin, but lately I haven’t been able to bring myself to spring for it. And who am I kidding? I love everything Aveda.

7. Blue Plaid Electric Throw ~ Does this make me 100 years old? Yes, but I’m always cold at night these days. And I know Dante would love it, the poor pup has no fat or fur to help him retain his body heat!

So what are you wishing for, friends?
