A Holiday Series: Ragan’s Christmas List

One of the most requested gifts guide suggestions was my actual Christmas list, and I'm excited to share with you all what I'm hoping Santa leaves under the tree this year! 

My favorite type of Christmas gift is one that I can remember the story behind it - when did I receive it? And why is it special to me When I send Santa my wish list, I make sure that it includes a mix of special items, practical items, and few fun and unexpected items. 

Part 01 - The practical

It is no secret for those who know me well that I love skin care products. Here are a few items that I recently found and hope to find under my Christmas tree this year.

This rich cerulean-blue balm made with organic botanicals is a beyond-luxurious, totally nourishing, moisturizing skin treatment. 

Ok, so I have to admit that I recently bought this for myself as I couldn't wait for Santa, but I can confirm that it is a quick and easy way to take care of yourself and your skin while we are spending more time at home this holiday season.

Part 02 - The practical & fun

The colors on this ripstop nylon cross body bag are fabulous! i love the style and the function of this bag.

You've heard of a puffy coat. here is a puffy scarf from Kule that is oh so warm and adorable!

Part 03 - The Special Items

Treat yourself this holiday season with these fab monkey earrings. They could be worn every day or for any special occasion. Also - thank you @megan_larussa for telling me that the product listing is for only one earring, so be sure to remind Santa to purchase 2 for under the tree. 

I have been eyeing these clutches for a long time, and when I saw one of my favorite stories now made into a fab clutch - you better believe I am adding this to my list.

Give me anything yellow, please!

This sassy sweater by Gyles & George is known as the “Diana” sweater because Princess Diana wore one of these sweaters in the soft pink color. 

Part 04 - The Unexpected

I love to add something unexpected and fun to my list each year, and this year, I'm hoping Santa drops this fun bench under the tree. Wouldn't it be perfect for an outdoor spring party?

Basket of Puppies: I couldn't resist sharing this fun and fab find recently shared by Rebecca Gardener. We actually are getting a puppy this Christmas, and while a basket would be amazing, I think we should do one at a time!
