Wow I am totally impressed by the time and effort you put into this. I love all of these gift ideas. The clothes and the shoes.. also the book the DEBS, haven’t heard of it before but I am a fan of gossip girl so I think I would like that. You are a fan too!! Can you believe that last ep, tug at your heart strings, poor Chuck Bass! I cant wait for it to come back the previews look killer.
So I got way off topic.. whoops! Anyways love your Christmas decorations, especially the yule log..haha!

brooklyn - Thanks, hun! Miss you!
Alix - Thanks so much for the flattering, detailed comment! Keep an eye out for the giveaways this week and next! I can’t wait to see what happens with GG too and glad you liked the yule log…I was hoping ppl would notice the subtle dorkyness!

I love Tom’s shoes! They are at the top of my wish list! Unfortunately my boyfriend doesn’t want hints. Like you I only let myself buy a few things for myself before Christmas -guess I have to wait until after Christmas to buy them for myself! I can’t wait.
Great list and I love the yule log! Beautiful tree too!

Jordana, thanks so much again for including THE DEBS in your very cool holiday gifts guide! I love your list! I hope you enjoy THE DEBS (and I think you will since you’re a big GG fan…it’s kind of like Gossip Girl with a Southern drawl!). Have a great Christmas and a fab New Year!
Cheers,
Susan

You are such a saint! I love the video, that “Spun” shirt, and especially the flat-screen fire!!
December 17th, 2008 10:48 pm
Jordana, I’m just so impressed that brands have pitched you. I hadn’t heard of the Debs, do you think it’s appropriate for a 12 year old?
December 17th, 2008 10:49 pm

JenH - Thanks for the flattering compliment!
I sent a note to the author to get her thoughts on appropriate age groups. Does the girl you’re thinking of purchasing it for like Gossip Girl?
Sara - Thank you! So glad you found this helpful and glad you liked the yule log, haha.
