Even though I’m not spending the holidays with family this year, I decided it would be fun to write my own Christmas wish list. It’s funny though because every year my family asks me what I want for Christmas, and I NEVER KNOW. And NOW that I’m not home and no one is asking me what I want for Christmas… of course now I know what I want. Funny how that works no?

By the way, am I the only one who enjoys reading people’s wish lists? After reading them, I automatically fall in love with a new brand, or get obsessed with something I never knew I absolutely needed (well…wanted).
Anyway, maybe you’ll get some cool ideas for your own Christmas wish list, or to gift someone! (But let me preface this by saying…I have expensive-ish taste!)

Well here goes my Christmas wish list:
1. A Kate Spade laptop bag
…or laptop case. I love everything Kate Space guys — so sleek, classy, and sophisticated! This is my favorite laptop bag ever!
2. A Kate Spade wallet + phone pocket
These phone wallets are SUPER handy and multi-purpose! Absolutely LOVE Kate Spade!
3. A burgundy Ted Baker coat
Like this one just without the rose-gold accents! (By the way — can you tell I love burgundy??)

4. Dainty necklaces from Raya Was Here
If you don’t know who Raya is…check out her travel youtube channel! She is SUCH a lovely person and her jewelry is super cute!
By the way, 20% of the profits go to building a school in Laos! Look at her necklaces here.
5. A new iPhone 6s Plus
I know there’s like 10 other versions of the iPhone now, but honestly, I absolutely love my 6S. The only reason I need a new one is because I cracked the screen and it’s tweakin badly. R.I.P. BUT, I would love for it to be rose gold, 64gb (for pictures and apps you know!), and unlocked (so I can use it all over the world), like this one!
6. A plane ticket home
I’d love to see my family, friends, and my puppy Luna! (I’m such a bad mom you guys. I adopted Luna, and then abandoned her with my mother for a year and half…so not cool!)
7. A job in Australia
Have I mentioned I’m trying to move to Australia soon?? (SORRY LUNA!) Well, it would be awesome to already have a (good) job set up before I go if possible! Sooo…if any of you know someone who works in a hotel in Sydney or Melbourne…just remember me and message me here! Please and thank you loves!
8. Two new journals
One for my bullet journal: to track my life, my schedule, my to-do lists, and my travels. And another for my daily journaling. I have recently gotten into journaling every day, and let me tell you — it feels amazing! I can’t believe I didn’t start journaling sooner. So one of my new years resolutions is to start and finish a journal with actual journal entries!
My favorite types of journals are the Moleskin soft-cover dotted ones. I love the way they feel after being used for a while, and the fact that I can have the freedom to write, scribble, draw, anywhere (since there are only light dots!)
9. A huge slice of red velvet cake from Brunch & Cake
The BEST CAKE in Barcelona (besides Alsur Cafe’s carrot cake hehe, but Brunch & Cake’s carrot cake is also extremely delicious…)
10. 50 books or book recommendations

I have recently been obsessed with self-development tips and advice, and have heard that rich, happy, and successful people read over 50 books a year. I will be totally honest and say I only read one this year…ONE. How sad is that?!?
So if you have any books to recommend for 2018, please do! I am serious about this one!
Well that’s all I could think of!
What’s on your Christmas wish list this year?
Comment them down below, I’d love to see what else is out there!
Your wishlist is so fun and unique!!! I have never owned a Kate Spade bag but always wanted one! So exciting to hear your next adventure might lead you to Australia!
