I’ve been on this earth for 31 years and I’ve only just figured out how to communicate what I want for Christmas + Birthdays. Throughout the year I keep a sticky note on my desktop and anytime I find something I want to buy, but can’t afford or want to save for later, I add the link to that item to my sticky note. I’ve heard there’s apps for this and Amazon even has “lists” I’ve participated in. But, as I try to shop small and try to not just shop on Amazon, I’ve found a simple “sticky on the desktop” works great!

So when my birthday rolled around this year, I rounded up the linked items and emailed them to my Brett, my husband! And I’m sharing my list with you too, just in case you need to shop around a bit or be inspired for your birthday list this year!
