the christmas wishlist is here…

posted by modern mama on Thursday Nov 13, 2008 under fashion, general, life, love


as promised, and just in time for black friday and holiday shopping - here is the ultimate christmas wishlist for any modern mama - from practical to fabulous, this list has it all! …and to fit any budget (or behavior!) - whether you have been naughty or nice!

just leave this little list in plain sight for your hubby, significant other, or family to see and you are good to go! …and, just like the modern mama’s brain, it is in no particular order or sequence!  enjoy!

white house/black market cocktail dress - $178 - a perfect lbd for the holiday and can be also worn throughout the year - and this one is a bit more ‘forgiving’ with its flattering cut and swing to it - now you can enjoy the eggnog AND look fabulous doing it!

roxy light as a feather scarf - $22 - this scarf is as fun as it is functional - not to mention, love the bright bold color in the dead of winter!

wall candy arts – rococo chalkboard - $36 - i featured this treasure in a previous post…need i say more - this is a must have for any busy, modern mama!

harajuku lovers perfume - $45 - how cute are these?!  how cute are you with them?!  i say VERY! …and they are by the uber modern mama herself, gwen stefani!

dirt devil kurv handheld vacuum - $50 - i know the last thing you want under the tree is a hint that your housecleaning skills are not up to par, but this cute little gadget caught my eye due to it’s functionality and form! …bonus points if the gift-giver charges it beforehand, so you can quickly spring into action and vacuum up all the ripped paper and bows from the gift-opening frenzy.

dvf ‘catwalk’ luggage collection – prices vary - for any mama on the go, these ruffled numbers won’t ruffle your feathers or your wallet when you travel for business or pleasure.  …and what an easy way to spot your luggage since who else but the uber modern mama would have luggage so unique?!

prada crispy tote - $715 - it’s black. it’s waterproof. it’s handsfree. and, it’s PRADA…need i say more?!

nadri pave crystal bangle - $158 - every haute mama needs a little bling-bling in their lives, don’t you agree?!

juicy couture ‘angel’ logo boots
- $198 - of course, no list would be complete without something from juicy couture.  these boots were made for walking…and shopping!

blackberry bold
(prices vary) - your brain in a box.  a cool, electric box…it’s kind of like having your own personal assistant tucked in your handbag and with you 24/7 - and who couldn’t use that?!  (note: men would much rather shop for gadgets/electronics for women than shoes, purses, and handbags!)

sex and the city ‘the movie’ dvd
- $17 - for those of us who grew up and had babies watching sex and the city (thus having less sex and venturing less into the city) - this finale movie is a keeper.  love the story. love the clothes. love the ending.

maybelline 50 second nail polish
- $4 (in pink shock, berry boucle, plum intense, and mocha blast) - because what modern mama has more that a minute to do their toe nails?!

ipod shuffle - $49 - size doesn’t matter…at least with your ipod! this cute little number carries your favorite tunes on the go - you can even engrave it!  the only drawback is it is so small, it may be hard to find amongst all the crap in your gi-normous handbag!  (see note on blackberry bold!)

talking pedometer
- $22 - we may all need this after having ‘too much christmas spirit’ this year!

kensie matte silver cropped jacket
- $26.40 - no, i didn’t omit a ‘0′ - look like a million bucks with this adorable jacket that costs under $30!

hello kitty toaster - $25 - if you don’t cook, and even burn toast (like me!), why not have your toast be as cute as possible with the help of hello kitty?!

juicy couture ‘iconic’ pop top mittens
- $55 - yup, another juicy item made the list.  i like how these convert from fingerless gloves to mittens…how else would you be able to dial your blackberry bold with mittens on?!

suddenly slimmer body wrap
– prices/packages vary - i was a bit skeptical about this, but it really does work!  don’t get me wrong - it is no miracle pill (or wrap), but it does work. …not to mention, your skin feels silky smooth for days!

tiffany&co starfish pendant necklace - $265 - it’s always nice to get something in the little blue box - and this elsa peretti classic is one of their more iconic pieces that doesn’t break the bank.

dooney & bourke ‘giraffe’ wristlet
- $75 - love the giraffe print and again, size doesn’t matter - this baby is big enough to just hold your phone, credit cards, $20 cash, and your car keys…priceless!

    I love everything on the list. I am going for the iPOD, the Kensie jacket, and the iconic jc mittens (you had me at iconic!) …if I am really good, maybe I’ll get the D&B wristlet and the matching handbag that they also have! Thanks for the great ideas!

    I love the Prada purse, but my husband is a little bird, as in ‘CHEAP CHEAP’? Got any ideas for a cheap alternative? He won’t spend more than $50.00 on a purse for me…

  3. Jordan says:

    First of all, that’s a BIG list. lol. But, for those of us who can only afford a couple of those things, you’ve given me some great ideas for a modern non-mama…yet (Nao). Thanks!

    Wow that prada bag is sexxxayyy that’d definitely be tops on my wishlist - of course my hubby can justify buying a $900 computer but when I want a $700 purse he’s like hell no! lol
