My 2018 Christmas List

There's nothing that breaks the bank on my list this year. I mean, I certainly want some things that do, but nothing that can't wait. We're doing Christmas on a tight budget this year and I'd rather keep my list more on the realistic side of things. I try to do that every year, but I really hunkered down. Have you made your list yet? I'd love to know what you're asking for. One big ticket item or a few small things?

And if you just finished celebrating Hanukkah, I'd love to hear about that too. Just give me all of the holiday talk. I live for it! So many of you have shared your decor, your kids excitement, your pets under the tree, baking, etc. on Instagram and it makes me so happy. I don't want it to end!

• Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Eye Patches 15 Pairs (via Sephora, $25 CA) - I've been wanting to try eye patches for a while now. The 15 pack is limited edition and a great way to try them out without the hefty price tag. I know I can be doing more in my eye area than I do!
• Sephora Almond Foot Mask (via Sephora, $6 CA) - This LE star print for the holidays is too cute. I can't find it on the site anymore, but I'm sure they are in stores. Like with my eyes, I know there's more I can be doing for my feet. I don't know what's worse - sandal or boot season!
• Polar Bear Flannel Sheets (via Giant Tiger, $35.99 CA) - Sheets of any kind, really. We haven't splurged on a new set in years. But these? These scream my name. Any guesses why? Yeah, y'all know by now. I haven't met a polar bear I can resist yet. :)
• Love and Lore Travel Set (via Chapters, $39.50 CA) - Next year is the year. The year that I finally go back home for a visit for the first time since 2012. I'm not sure when, all we know is that IT IS HAPPENING because I've been gone for far too long. A set like this really makes packing easier. I'm definitely a pouch and cube kind of packer. Anyone else?
• Mitch Albom's The Next Person You Meet in Heaven (via Chapters, $29.99 CA) - Mitch is one of my favorite authors. He hasn't let me down yet and I've been so ready for this sequel. It must be mine and join my other Mitch books in my collection. I'm all for using my library card, but some books I just have to own. And Mitch is one of those few that I will read over and over. Read Tuesdays with Morrie and you'll understand.
• Too Faced Under the Christmas Tree Set (via Sephora, $52 CA) - How adorable is this set?! Would this even be a "Wendy" list if I didn't include makeup? It was between this and the Gingerbread Spice palette, but I thought I would use the colors in this one more. Speaking of gingerbread, it is not on this list, but I'm hoping Santa remembers my hint about Bath & Body Work's Spiced Gingerbread candle. It is heavenly! I'm just on a heavy gingerbread kick this year. I'm not mad about it.
