Angela's Christmas Wish List plus a GIVEAWAY!

I get so excited to share gifts I love with others! These are actual items on my Wish List this year. I am known for my practical picks (as you will see by desire for gym clothes).  However, I've also been known to request a couple of "splurge" items.  Let me know what your favorite item is on my list and I will personally select a random reader to receive an Essie Sweet Mini 4 Pack (pictured below):

Nordstrom
Essie Sweet Mini 4 Pack
Colors:
Lollipop, Rock Candy and Mint Candy Apple nail & 3-Way Glaze nail treatment

Apple

iPad Keyboard Dock

$69.99 (Apple is offering free shipping on this item)

I adore my iPad, and this little accessory will be such a great addition to my Apple family!

Saks

Graphic Image - Personalized Sleeve for iPad (I chose pink!)

Sale Price $ 82.50

This is perfect for those who do not want to deal with the "fixed" Apple iPad case, which has to be removed when using the Apple Dock station.

Lucy

Perfect Core Pants

$98.00

Perfect Core Knee Pant

$88.00

Boyfriend Gym Tee

$28.00

Burberry

Check Stole

$450.00

So chic and versatile. This was the "splurge gift" on my list this year!

Layla Grace

Clairebella Cell Phone Case

$ 52.00

This is an amazing product! You design your own case to your taste. With three different font options and countless colors to choose from, you can't go wrong. This is an exceptional gift for the Preppy person in your life! Did I mention you can order cases for the following products: iPhone 3G & 4G, iPod Touch, Blackberry Bold and Curve!

Sephora

Nars

Orgasm Lust Lip and Cheek Set

$30.00

I have yet to meet a Fashionista who can't wear this shade!

Bobbi Brown

Modern Classic Lip and Eye Pallet

$75.00

I'm a loyal Bobbi Brown user. I rarely stray from her products. This little pallet is perfect for girls on the go!

Bath and Body Works

Slatkin & Co. 3 Wick Candle

$19.50

My ALL-time favorite scent is Creamy Nutmeg. I stock up when they run their promotion,  2 for $20. These also make terrific Hostess gifts!

Michael Kors

Hamilton Quilted Satchel in Gunmetal

$ 318.00

This bag looks chic, but doesn't carry the hefty price tag. By the appearance, I imagine the inspiration for this handbag came from the Hermès Birkin and the quilting of Chanel.

Saving the Best for Last:

Neiman Marcus

David Yurman Waverly Cable Bracelet

$1,450

We have so many people to buy for (and to be honest, I would rather give, than receive) so the Yurman bracelet is most defintely a wish...wishful thinking!

Happy Holidays!!!
