Gifts for Him

As promised, here are some of my ideas for gifts for a guy this Christmas. I forgot to put numbers in la collage, so forgive & forget and just bear with me? Thanks.

1. Polaroid Instant Camera: I had two Amazon gift cards in September so I bought myself one and some extra film. As a college student, there is nothing better than pretending to be super hipster with polaroid pictures.

2. The New York Times 36 Hours in Europe: I really want this book. It gives you the best plans for a weekend in Europe.

3. J. Crew Waffle Sweater: This is probably the most comfortable sweater in the entire world. It's a wool-cashmere blend, which is super warm for the upcoming months.

4. Cashmere Throw Blanket: They only sound unnecessary to people who don't have them let me tell you.

5. Humans of New York Book: So, this book is probably the coolest coffee table book in the entire world, and the guy you give it to will actually look through it. Unfortunately, it's completely sold out online, so I don't know what I can do for you about that. But I thought you should know.

6. iPad Mini: I really want one. I have an iPad now, but it's just too big. I don't even use it, but I feel like I would use this one?

7. Oral B Electric Toothbrush: You'll probably have to be close to whomever you gift this. It could definitely come off wrong, but who doesn't love clean teeth?

8. J. Crew Polka Dot Socks: They don't necessarily have to be these ones, but socks are probably the best accessory to play around with. And polka dots, well why not?

9. How to Be A Man by Glenn O'Brien: If anybody reads GQ, you have probably heard of The Style Guy. You already know Glenn O'Brien then. He's one of my favorite writers, and he has one of the best senses of style ever. period.

10. J. Crew Bottoms Up Flask: I bought this for one of my friends on Black Friday. Flasks make an awesome gift because they're so classy and timeless.

11. Frends Headphones: The most stylish headphones on the face of the planet.

12. Bacon of the Month Club: I think you can figure out why this is on the list. Am I right?

Happy December

HAPPY DECEMBER EVERYBODY!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving because I certainly did. 

Here is my family's potential Christmas card this year. Claire looks pretty ratchet, but for once I look semi-decent in the card, so it's happening. For some reason it's awful quality on here, but it's pretty clear on my computer. Use your imagination. 

So there are officially only 21 more days until Christmas, and I am literally counting down the hours. I get really anxious around this time of year. It's mostly because I am so ready to be off from school that I can't even function in the real world anymore. Now, I am just looking forward to being off and being home for a while. As you know, I am finishing up my first semester of college. It has really been incredible. I have met the most amazing people ever here, and I am absolutely certain that I will stay lifelong friends with them. Even so, I cannot wait to be home with my family. I miss my sister beyond words despite the fact that her inner diva is channelled nearly every waking minute of the day. She'll grow out of it I think hope. Some inspirational quotes from the Queen herself: 

1. "No ragrets." - our motto from the hysterical movie We're the Millers

2. "I bottlefed my kids, but I breastfed my pug."

Enough about her, though. I have a running list on my phone for gifts which I plan to share as soon as I deem it finished (which probably won't be until 11:59pm on Christmas Eve, but I'll do my best). I have some really awesome goodies on it (and yes I did say goodies). It's funny to see how much my wants change as I get older. Five years ago I never would have dreamed of asking for books for Christmas. Lo and behold, I'm asking for four. You tell me, is it last minute puberty? College? Or that I'm trying to be cool and hipster? My sister would say the latter, but I'll let you decide. 

HOHO,

Jack
