12th Day of Christmas: {That's a Wrap}

Happy 12th Day of Christmas! And... 12/12/12! And... 12 more shopping days until Christmas! :) Since I have given you over 130 gift ideas, I thought I would share some of my favorite ways to wrap it all up into one pretty gift! I am positive that I love "paper" more than anyone I know, so my gift wrap is just as thought out as the gift itself - presentation is key [for me]! I know, I'm kind of crazy! ;) I blame my Mother and my Aunt who both have ridiculously beautiful gifts under their tree every single year! PS. Here is a {sneak peak} at my wrapping this year - I decided that plaid, polka-dots and {rifle paper co tags} were the perfect combination!

Starting top left: {from santa tag} // {burlap flower} // {red stripe / dot reversible paper} // {red and white bakers twine} // {natural jute rope} // {for you gift tag} // {festive bottle tags} // {chalkboard holiday card set} // {dot kraft bags} // {cute holiday cards} // {red burlap ribbon} // {christmas ribbon}.

He also gave me a few ideas that are not included below: a subscription to {ESPN insider} or a subscription to {Spotify} would be fun additions to any man's stocking. Happy Shopping!

12th Day of Christmas: {Strong Sense of Style}

Thanks so much Ashley, for having me round out the 12th Day of Christmas!  I hope all of you haven't finished shopping yet as I've got some super gift ideas for those you love or for you.  These are all things that showed up on my personal list so fingers crossed that Mom and Hubs find their way over to a {little} dash of ash!

The gifts are fun for sure, but the holidays mean so much more to me.  Togetherness with family, fellowship with friends and holiday merriment make this time of year so special.  Plus, I am looking forward to our first Christmas together in Houston!

1. Skullcandy Headphones 2. J. Crew Metallic Loafers 3. MaxMara Camel Hair Coat 4. J. Crew Hearthstone Snood 5. Current/Elliott Leopard Skinnies 6. Michele Large Jelly-bean Chronograph 7. Stuart Weitzman 50/50 Boots 8. Finn Heart & Arrow Earrings 9. The Row Round Wayfarer 10. Givenchy Medium Antigona Duffle     

11th Day of Christmas: {Six Twelve Place}

Hi Dash of Ash readers!  I'm Lesley from SIX TWELVE PLACE.  Ashley's Twelve Days of Christmas series has been so much fun to follow and I am thrilled to be a part of it!  The holidays still bring me as much excitement as they did when I was a child.  I love the twinkling lights, the newness of winter weather, the parties, the gathering of loved ones near and far and just the overall magic of the holiday season!  Although it has been years since I've written a letter to Santa, I think my letter this year would go something like this...

 

 These cashmere lined gloves are the perfect combination of warmth and luxe, and I love the punchy color!  I'm still lusting over this Chloe bag, but I think this J. Crew satchel is a beautiful, classic and much more affordable option. I am in desperate need of a new wallet and I think this one by Rebecca Minkoff is perfect.  How cute is the big tassel on the back, Santa?! Utterly obsessed and 100% in love with this Lauren Elan necklace. Now that winter is here, it is time to upgrade my Lulu wunder under crops to the full pant. As a Texas girl turned recent Chicagoan, my winter wardrobe is sub par.  Adding these ear muffs, this turtleneck and these shearling lined duck boots would be a great addition to my winter wear. I've been wishing for a pair of Current Elliot boyfriend jeans for a while and I think the darker wash of the roller version is pretty great. I would love a fun new band for my watch. Everything you need for a winter weekend spent inside: faux fur throw, comfy striped leggings, cozy moccasin slippers and the complete series of Friends. And a few wishlist items: black taffeta skirt, the perfect black pumps and a major camera upgrade!

Santa, if you could even bring just one or two of these items to 612 Place, 

I promise to love you forever.

Love your biggest fan, 
Lesley

10th Day of Christmas: {Bijou and Boheme}

 

Hi there dashers, it's Christine here and I'm SO excited to be taking part in Ashley's splendid 12 Days of Christmas crawl.  For me the holidays is all about my kids... watching their faces light up on Christmas morning is pretty much the happiest couple of hours I can imagine at this point... joy x a million. Of course, I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I LOVE the 'me' prezzies as well. This year my list is all about the pink, gold and black... you're shocked by this aren't you...likely not;) If you're reading this Santa and/or husband, I particularly NEED # 2, 5 and 12... of course all 17 would be even better;)

Hello a {little} dash of ash' readers! I am so excited to be sharing with all of you my dream holiday wishlist. Some of these items I am double crossing my fingers for, and some, I am hoping Santa will magically drop upon my doorstep. I can only hope!

8th Day of Christmas: {Little Bits of Lovely}

 

Hello friends of a {Little} Dash of Ash, it's Rachel here from Little Bits of Lovely. I'm thrilled that Ash asked me to participate in the 12 Days of Christmas series and to be sharing my wish list with you!

Christmas is my favourite holiday of the year as it means I get to spend time with my family and eat way too much delicious food. My mother, being the amazing cook and organiser that she is, spends weeks planning the meal and then the days leading up to Christmas preparing the feast. Christmas is a very different affair than my friends in the northern hemisphere would be used to - it is generally extremely hot and sticky and the trick is to try and keep as cool as you can - whether that be taking a dip in the pool or downing plenty of refreshments.

I have to admit, I had way to much fun putting this wish list together; I hope you enjoy it!

1. Carine Roitfield 2. Prada Candy 3. LeLabo Candle 4.  Vintage Vogue Cover 5. Hermes bracelet 6. Philosophy 7. Jonathan Saunders Diary 8. Bodum Coffee Mug 9. Anthro bowl 10. Gucci iPad Case  11. Chanel Luxe by François Baudot and François Aveline 

May you and your family have a most wonderful Christmas.

Rachel xo

To me, the holidays signify family and friends, pj's and cozy socks, baking cookies, Christmas carols, fresh snow, Christmas lights, and gifts of love.

5th Day of Christmas: {ten scenic drive}

 

Hi friends, this is Kristin from {ten scenic drive} and I am so excited to join in Ashley's blog series and especially excited that it is December. Christmas is by far my favorite time of the year! I love the music, the delicious food, time with family and friends and of course the fabulous holiday parties. I also love to watch Elf as many times as possible since it is the best christmas movie EVER. I just moved to New York City this past August and it has been amazing to be here during Christmas time! I have not yet been to Rock center to see the tree, but am planning to make it over there one of these days. I hope your Christmas season (and Christmas shopping) is off to a fabulous start!  Here are some things I'm hoping Santa leaves under my tree this season...

1. Madewell Lace up Clog Booties  These seem like perfect everyday shoes since the heel is not too high and they are super cute.

2. Michael Kors Watch I know these have made the rounds on the blogosphere, but I am still quite obsessed with these chunky gold watches. They are perfect for stacking and make great arm candy.

3. Subscription to Birchbox, my new favorite website! For all you beauty product junkies like me, listen up. You pay $10 a month and each month you are sent a gift box full of mini beauty products curated just for you based on a style profile you fill out when you join. The site also has great makeup and beauty tips and how-to's. (I secretly may have already signed up for this...oops! Sorry Santa, I couldn't wait!)

4. Coach Poppy Fold Over Bag. A perfect classic black bag that is big enough to carry all of my junk during the day but also works to bring out at night. 

5. Warby Parker Glasses. My newest favorite brand. All of the fabulous glasses on this site (prescription lenses included) are $95! Similar to Toms, for each pair of glasses you buy, one is donated to a person in need. The best part is you can choose 5 styles of frames, have them sent to you at home to try on absolutely free!

6. Slate serving platter. Perfect for serving appetizers at any holiday soiree

7. Bond Perfume. Okay, I'm going to be honest here and tell that I really love these fragrances just for the beautiful art-inspired bottles...but they also smell amazing!

8. Ryan Gosling. I mean, have you SEEN Crazy, Stupid, Love? Yes, exactly. A girl can dream right?

Now onto the gift giving!

I love wrapping and decorating gifts almost as much as I love giving them. There is just something so pretty and fun about beautifully wrapped packages waiting under the tree. This year I am feeling quite inspired by the simple, organic feel of brown craft or newspaper with some red or green ribbons and bling! Here is the inspiration for some ideas I will definitely be trying this season!

Wishing you a very happy holiday season! Please do stop over at my blog {ten scenic drive},
I'd love to see you there! 

xxKristin
