12/24/15Well it is Christmas eve, and even if we don't like to admit it often we all have things we are hoping for tomorrow morning. Now I like seeing what other people have on their Christmas Wishlist because it gives me ideas for gifts for myself. Thankfully my mom finds me very easy to buy for so I don't have to come up with many gifts, but sometimes I do, and it is always difficult for me. This is why I enjoy seeing what other people want so it can help me think of what to ask for. Now this post is obviously the night before Christmas, so unless you have last minute parents you aren't probably going to have time to ask for these things, but I didn't want to post this too early since I didn't want anyone that knows me in real life to obligated to buy me anything from this list. Honestly I only asked for two of these items, and I don't expect to get most of these tomorrow anyways. This is just what is on my mind, and some of the things I may even buy for myself. Now even though this is a little late there is always birthdays.

I tried to ave bit of variety, but a lot of these things are kind of beauty related. The first thing is a straightener from NUME because I do not have any hair tools and NUME makes amazing products form what I have heard. This is one of the items I will actually probably buy myself if I am honest, because I didn't ask for it for Christmas, but I have the money it buy it. I am thinking about cutting my hair shorter in the new year, however, if it is shorter it will become more fizzy. A straightener would be something I would want when I cut my hair, especially because you can curl with a straightener as well. I also found that Ingrid Nilsen has a code for NUME right now (ingridfornume) that will lower the price of this straightener to $17, yep only $17 when normally is is about $140. Because of this amazing deal and just the practicality of owning a hot tool I think I will buy this straightener while the code is still good. I don't know if I will buy it before the holiday season though. I might wait until after. It is such a great price for the product though.

So this next gift isn't anything in particular but actually just thug-life shirts. They have hilarious sayings and a lot of their shirts are gray which is my most worn color. I picked a few of my favorites here, but really any of their shirts are hilarious and would make a wonderful gift. They are a bit on the expensive side, for me at least (I am very cheap), but they are nice quality shirts. Although I didn't ask for one, and I doubt I will buy one, they caught my eye and have been on my mind. I might just end up buying one in the future, but I am not too sure. This is also a great gift for any guys or dad's because they truly have so many shirts which are all very very funny. They are all very relatable especially if you are a typical internet person like myself. I have seen these all over Pinterest, but I only just looked at the site this year. I now have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to my favorite shirts, because there are that many funny ones. I also like that the sleeves are rolled. They kinda just have a classic look to them while also being funny.

This is a gift which I asked for for Christmas, but I don't know if I will get. Beauty elders are so popular, and as I get a bit more into makeup I would enjoy having one. If I don't get it for Christmas I might buy it for myself. I can use all the help I can get when it comes to applying makeup, and this is supposed to be just amazing.

Something that I desperately need is a new laptop case. I have had the one currently on my computer for over a year, and it has seen better days. It is cracked and broken in many spots and I need a new one. I really like my purple case, but I think I might get this orange one next. I am too clumsy to not have a case for my laptop, and with them being so cheap they are worth it to me. I will probably buy it myself if I don't get one for Christmas because like I said I need one, but it is a nice gift for someone, especially if they are a tech person, but you don't want to spend too much money.

Now this is an idea that can be tailored to whoever you are buying for, and it is gift sets. I bet someone out there thinks gift sets are really cheesy and not a nice gift, but I never have been given one before and I think they are a great idea. I think in particular makeup gift sets are awesome, because they get a variety of products to try and you don't have to choose just one. This set from benefit caught my eye, because the hoola bronzer, the gimme brow, high beam, and they're real mascara are all awesome and well known products from benefit and they are all products I am interested in trying. You can just get a variety of products to try in smaller sizes so you don't have to feel bad if you don't like some of them. I think this set is currently unavailable now, but there are many others, and like I said this idea can be modified to whoever you are buying for since gift sets can have so much variety for what they include.

Now I am sure you have all heard of this book, the life-changing magic of typing up by Marie Kondo, because it has been everywhere. You have definitely have heard me talking about it if you have been on my blog for a while, because I have been wanting it for about a year now. Seeing everyone on youtube become obsessed with it and seeing how it truly was life-changing I am so interested to read it myself. This is the one main thing I asked for and it is what I am expecting to get. If I do not get this I will probably go out the day after Christmas and buy it because I have been waiting for so long. I have made sure that I have time to declutter after I have read this by prewriting a lot of blog posts for the end of year cheer. I have started decluttering a few areas of my life since I have been on break, but I haven't touched my clothes or really most areas of my life, because I am waiting for this book and to really take in all the knowledge so that I can really learn from it, and have my life changed. I am so excited to start the process and you can be sure to expect decluttering posts once the holiday season is over. I am hoping I will read it quickly and that I can quickly get to working on all the clutter in my life and making improvements for the new year. If there has ever been a time for me to clear out everything that isn't bringing joy in my life it is now, because I want 2016 to be the year of happiness, it may not end up being that but I will try, and the first step is decluttering.

Now I know I didn't include that many ideas in this list, but that is because I couldn't think of many and I am sure lots of you have different preferences than me, so I thought I would include a video with the same idea to give you more inspiration for gift ideas.
