A Few of My Favorite Things: Holiday Wish List Suggestions

Every year, around this time, I realize that both my birthday and Christmas are quickly approaching. The email requests and phone calls begin for holiday wish list items and I’m often caught dumb struck, with nothing on my list.

Therefore, this year I thought I’d share with you all a few of my favorite things right now, perfect for giving to your best girl friend, sister, mother, or other significant female in your life. The prices on these items range but I’ve done my best to make sure there is at least one item for each of the different common price ranges, including under $25, $25-$50, $50-$100, and over $100.

If you all enjoy this, then I am more than willing to do a few more between now and the holidays, also creating more targeted lists such as female, male, athlete, etc.

    Those are great gift ideas! I want some of those headbands! I need some that stay in place.

    Excellent ideas! A necklace from Erica Sara is on my Christmas list 🙂

    Those are great gift ideas. 🙂 I’d love to get a pair of minimalist shoes, or an immersion blender.

    I really like the shirt, but I have a feeling it won’t fit in the sizes they have available! Great list.

      Dori: I should mention that it runs quite small, so their smallest size may fit. Let me know if you want me to reach out to Five Bamboo.

    Great gift ideas! Perfect timing too as the holiday shopping season is in full swing now.

    I love the shirt – looks awesome on you and looks super comfortable.

    hi ashley –

    I have a similar body type to you … just wondering what size you got in the cowl neck top ? thanks! love the list

    • healthyh November 22, 2011 / 12:50 pm

      Lindsay: I normally wear a M but knew this ran a little small so ordered a L and love it!

  7. SCintheCity November 22, 2011 / 5:22 am

    LOVE the list! Gotta ask – how does the five bamboo shirt fit compared to the light pullover from the Healthy Living Summit?

    • healthyh November 22, 2011 / 12:16 pm

      Lauren: I normally wear a M in shirts and ordered a L. Therefore, I suggest ordering one size up.

  8. jocelyn November 22, 2011 / 12:40 pm

    Anything from Lululemon!

  9. Lisa November 22, 2011 / 2:28 pm

    LOVE that you put the shirt on here! Definitely getting one. I commented on it a few weeks ago!

    • healthyh November 23, 2011 / 12:09 am

      Lisa: Yay! The shirt comes in so many wonderful colors. Be sure to use the discount code!

    Love Sparkly Soul Headbands!!

    I love when I’m given gift cards to some of my favorite running stores or brands! That way I can get whatever I need (especially for the winter months) in the size that fits me best!

    Great list!

    • healthyh November 23, 2011 / 12:09 am

      Michele: I’m glad you like the list! Keep an eye out as I’m hoping to have a Sparkly Soul giveaway soon!
