The women on my Christmas list may be the hardest to buy for this season. Not that they are difficult, but they are so diverse. I love that.
Normally I’m not for publicly sharing men without shirts, but this is for a great cause. 2015’s Men of Cornell University Vet School annual calendar fundraiser. Plus it has cute animals too. My brother in law is an alumni and I’m more than happy to help support their program.

I have been loving boot cuffs since last fall. My purchase was put off due to my big calves. Adding more bulk around my leg with the crocheted ones would probably be uncomfortable. These lace ones do the same thing, just less bulk. Done.

My friend Bri loves her yoga classes on weekend mornings. I have been admiring this Etsy shop on Instagram for a while. Great fabrics and useful products. This yoga mat bag could get some good work with Bri on weekends.

Last year I picked one of these up for Melissa as she finished up treatment. It’s incredibly soft. Now she’s a workout inspiration and could probably use a new one.

My friend Lyndsay has a running joke with my husband about cards. He doesn’t like cards and she loves to send them. For her birthday I thought these would be perfect for her. We have yet to see one of these in our mailbox, hint hint. Also another great use of scraps.

The list is getting tougher. For Emma it’s a toss up. She loves craft beer, handmade things, and wonderful accessories. She picks out great t-shirts too. This would be great with her collection.

Sarah is the hardest person on the list. She moved out here a few years to be with her now husband from New York. She loves home and her family, pretty sure she misses them more than she will admit. This key chain would be a small reminder of home throughout the day.

If you’re wondering what to get me this year, it’s one of these rings. Yes hubby I want jewelry. You haven’t actually bought me jewelry in years. I would love one with our anniversary or P’s birthday.

For a homemade option I would whip up a quick infinity scarf. All my girlfriends have LOTS of them. This is one of the best infinity scarf tutorials, this is one I used.

Dear friends, these are not your real gifts this year. I’ve got something else in the works.
