Dear Santa....

Every year I post a list of my favorite things, gifts and gift ideas.... I'm really late on doing so this year, but here we go... these are things I would love to see under my tree, in my stocking or any time of the year! (And most of them are things I love to give to my friends as well!)

*Once again, I DO NOT expect any one to buy any of these for me, it's just for fun ;)

Bordello Shoes
Every year I list these, and they are still my favorite!
You can find them all over the place now, but you can buy them for a pretty decent deal at straponsweetie.com

I love them all, but these are my personal favorites (I'm a size 6.5 btw...;) )
1 2 3 4

Etsy
I love Etsy! There are so many great shops, I couldn't even begin to list ALL of my favorites but here are just a few of my never fail go-to's (p.s.- add me- bitsy rini- to your circle on Etsy to see more of my growing favorite list!)

to decorate myself:
Fable and Fury
Strange and Lovely
Idle Hands Designs
ArturoRios

for decorating my house:
BeatUpCreations
Madame Talbot
Loved To Death
DirtyAssSoaps
Mud Puppy

for children & pets:
Helene Hawthorne's Dandy Dogs
PunkMonkeyKids


Gift Cards
I love gift cards that I can use for various things as they are needed/wanted throughout the year. It's so hard to buy gifts for people who can be very specific about the things they like and don't always voice what they need- so a gift card is very thoughtful and says "I understand that you like to have control, and love that about you." haha.

Here are my top choices for gift cards I would be most excited about!

Alaska Airlines
Michaels (or Jo-anns)
Home Depot (yes, I said that- Lowes would be great as well)
and... Disney Gift Card!


Charity
As some of you know, I love children and have a huge soft spot for charities that help children in need. Please donate.
Seattle Children's Hospital
Ronald McDonald House
Toys For Tots
Boys and Girls Clubs
Project Night Night
Books For Africa

Find charities to donate to: Network For Good


Random Items:
Hot Fix Rhinestones- all sizes and colors (especially greens, black, crystal, crystal AB)
Ostrich Feathers- (White, black, all greens)
Glitter
Classic Novels hardbound- Clothbound or Leatherbound
Display Insects, mounted and framed

Oh, and a thing called a Pie Bird (so cute!)
