MY CHRISTMAS LIST OF 09: THE BUY ME STUFF EDITION

OYOYOYOYYOOYOYOY! OY it's Christmas in two days! Stu has left for his homeland (6 hours away by gross Greyhound) so I already gave him his gifts and he loved them! Less stress! The only thing left to do is bake gingerbread cookies (from Betty Crocker mix HOLLERRRRRRR) and watch The Holiday (so good). I miss my Winnipeg friends like crazy and it doesn't help to see pictures of all the holiday parties they are attending ever so fabulously. TO HELP, I made a Christmas list! I know it's pretty late but my family literally shops on the last two days before Christmas so...I'd say it's pretty on-time.

ON MY LIST (from top left): Leopard scarf, Sephora gift card (mama needs some new makeup!), refill for my beloved Daisy perfume, long knit gloves to wear with my cropped-sleeve jackets (IT'S SO WARM IN VANCOUVER YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY), Chanel Jade nailpolish (trendy love), Official Book Club Selection by Kathy Griffin (aklhkwjhfkyehkjweghk!!!!!! must have), and finally a WII (fun for the whole family! TENNIS)

What is everyone (nobody reads this do they) asking for for Christmas? Recessionista's unite! OMG JUST KIDDING haaaaaaaaa

window-Christmas-shopping for friends, version 1.0

I got sucked into FredFlare.com again. I have decided that Fred Flare is the antithesis of the "economic crisis" because it only sells the most TRIVIAL and UNNESSESARY things, ie: luxuries. And because, unlike with the economy, I actually WANT to spend time thinking about Fred Flare.

I was feeling generous and thoughtful this evening so I decided to pick out "Christmas presents" for my friends. Disclaimer guys: you aren't going to find these wrapped up and under your tree this year. I wish that A) I had a credit card with which to shop on the interwebz and B) I could afford to purchase all these lovely things for you. I hope just seeing them and knowing that I was thinking of you is enough (until we meet irl again at Christmas break).
ENJOY, in anti-alphabetical order:

Jeanine: Lovely, whimsical blouse because it screams YOU. Peacock feather earrings because either I lost one of them when I borrowed them or YOU lost one of them because your ear holes are big. Can't remember!

Chantal: Rollerskates with pink weels because they look just like your skating skates and remind me of you. Cutest dress because the sweetheart neckline is your fave and cherry red is your colour.

Bryn: Tennis racket cover with lame expression on it for when you're at Wimbledon. You could even put your badminton racket in it! Weird navy/shiny brocade dress because it's awesome and reminded me of your grad dress but more every-day appropriate.

Andrew: Fake mustaches because you can't grow the real thing (and desperately wish you could!) and a Holga. Because, duh, you dream of Holga.

I just KNOW I'll be trolling Fred Flare the next spare minute I get so maybe I'll make some window-shopping-gifts for my favourite bloggers. Stay tuuuuuuuuuuned

Inspired by my new favourite Tumblr, Annytime, I present you with things that make me feel cozy right now. I think everyone gets in this mood around Christmas time. I really wish we had snow here!
