Present Picks {MBM’s LIST}

Let’s be honest – all the gift guides are fun, but I keep wondering what bloggers want for themselves this holiday.  So I thought I would put together my own wish list of things I would love to get…  I have been a collector of all things pigs for several years now and lately I’ve put a kabosh on receiving anything else pig-related because I want to keep my apartment from looking like a juvenile petting zoo (full of pigs).  But I saw this gold pig bookend set and knew it was made for me – it’s literal pig likeness makes it more grown up and perfect for my black and white books.  Speaking of collections, I’ve made it no secret to my family that I want to start accumulating Fornasetti plates.  Creepy to some, they are cool to me and I can’t wait to hang one at a time.  I adore jewelry so of course I have several things in the sparkle department I need want – from my favorites Dana Rebecca and Minor Obsessions.  Necessities like running shoes and a new hair dryer fall into the function over form category and are things I really, really want but don’t really want to splurge on myself  I am inlove with the Truffle* Clarity pouch I currently have and would love to have a patent leather petite pouch for my handbag.  Other odds and ends like candles, lotion, coffee table books, and special cooking stuffs are aways appreciated!  Oh, and having recently been introduced to the amazing Jasmine Rouge scent by Tom Ford, my life won’t be complete until I have it sitting on my vanity.  But don’t worry Santa, I know it’s crazy expensive and I won’t be mad if it’s not under the tree.
