Christmas Wish List 2013: Harris Edition

Rounding out the family wish lists today with my sweet husband's list for 2013. There are a couple really good things on here that I think would be good for any of the fellas in y'all's lives, so take note if you have any last minute shopping to do!

01 / 02 / 03 / 04 / 05 / 06

01: We love North Faces around here, and, in the wintertime, at least, Harris usually wears one for his daily walks to and from work. We have had the same half dozen or so for several years, so it would be nice to get him a couple updated ones this Christmas!

02: Walking to and from work every day (as referenced above!), Harris definitely gets in lots of steps. This little wristband tracks your daily steps, stairs climbed, calories burned, distance traveled, and active minutes. At night, it tracks your sleep and even has an alarm to wake you up in the morning! He will definitely enjoy tracking all of this stuff.

03: We have a new Art of Shaving store in the mall, and recently went in to get a demo of how their stuff works. It's actually all pretty cool, and has a classic feel. Harris was given some samples, and thought the products were pretty awesome. Being in corporate America and having to have the clean shave definitely makes this worthwhile for him. The kit includes a bottle of their pre-shave oil (which Harris swears is what makes this shave so nice), a huge jar of their shaving cream, brush, and after-shave balm. There are four different scents to choose from, and they all smell really nice!

04 & 05: With the new promotion, I definitely wanted to celebrate a little and also update Harris' wardrobe a bit. He is pretty classic in style, especially when it comes to work, and virtually everything (okay, no just everything) in his work wardrobe is from Land's End. He loves their dress shirts and dress pants (and, well, really pretty much all of their stuff) the most. These supima shirts are incredibly soft, and he always looks really sharp, so anything new in this department would be a great Christmas gift for him!

06: This is actually something that I recently picked up on a whim in Bath & Body Works. I was in there updating my travel size stuff, and they had a sale on men's products as well. I really liked the way the CO Bigelow Elixir Blue smelled, so thought, why not! He has been rotating it with his Bleu de Chanel, and I have been pleasantly surprised at how good this smells! The scent also seems to last a lot longer than other colognes (sorry, Chanel) - he can put it on in the morning, and sometimes I can still smell it on him when we get in bed at night!

So, there you have it - the Ligon Family Christmas Wish Lists! I can't believe Christmas is in 7 days!!!

Christmas Wish List 2013: Lucy Edition

It was fun to put together my wish list for Christmas yesterday, so I thought I would make it a family affair. Since I figure Harris might like to be involved in putting his together, and since he is currently at work, I thought I would go ahead and share Lucy's wish list today!

01 / 02 / 03 / 04 / 05

01: Okay, so this is technically a baby toy, but we have bought baby toys for her before because she really likes stuffed animals, and she also really loves having tags/tails/whatever to chew and lick, so this seemed like a perfect little toy for her!

02: I think she will like all the little end pieces, but she will also like being able to play fetch with this toy.

03: She will personally hate this little coat, but it will be adorable on her, plus she gets so cold outside (okay, I know I sound like a crazy person now, but seriously, the dog shivers outside).

04: We like to use an elevated bowl to feed her, but all of those metal ones start rusting and I hate it. This seems like a great compromise because I can just wash the whole thing when it gets dirty.

05: Another taggy toy that she will love.

There you have it, all the things the pup needs for Christmas. And don't worry, I embrace my crazy.

Christmas Wish List 2013: Courtney Edition

So with Christmas Eve being a week from tomorrow (holy what?!), I know I am a little late to the Christmas Wish List game, but thought it would be fun to put together a few of my favorite things/things I am asking for this Christmas season to share with y'all!

01 / 02 / 03 / 04 / 05 / 06

01: These are my absolute favorite long sleeve tshirts. They are perfect for me, working from home, or running errands, and you can dress them up or down. I am loving the grey/black/white color palette for this winter, with pops of color, but will gladly take these in any color!

02: The Hobo Lauren wallet, in my humble opinion, is the only wallet worth having in this world. It holds absolutely everything (with lots of compartments), and even doubles as a clutch. I definitely need an update on mine, so this went on the list this year!

03: Remember those pops of color I mentioned? Well, since I adore dresses and tights, one of my favorite ways to incorporate some color is with some opaque tights! These are great (and really cheap ones) from Target...I love Target!

04: Also in need of updating this holiday season is my trusty Longchamp Le Pliage handbag. Confession time: I used to be a handbag-aholic. I had no self control in buying them, and felt the need to have a new one every couple months. Christmas of 2010 I asked for a Longchamp, and, aside from the occasional clutch or the like, I have used the same handbag for the past three years! Unheard of! I love these bags because they hold so much stuff, are classic, and they are washable - once during moving I accidentally dumped an entire bottle (read: broke) of soy sauce in my Longchamp. Took everything out, tossed it in the wash, good as new! My old one is red, but I am asking for a nice navy this year.

05/06: I am loving the graphic sweater trend that is happening right now, and would love a few to go in my wardrobe. I love these two from The Limited (currently running a 50% off special on sweaters!) and Target.

It'll be here before we know it, but what's on your Christmas List this year?
