Friday Favorites - Christmas List

There is nothing I appreciate more in the gift giving season than a detailed list of what my family wants. Even better if you include a link taking me directly to the product. My brother started doing this years ago, and in my young 20's naivety, I thought it was SO boring and took the magic out of Christmas.

And then I got an 8-5 job. As much as it pains me to admit he was right, it's such a relief to knock out those lists and know they are going to like what you picked. Using the word picked loosely here, of course. Especially since MS family does subscribe to the whole magic of Christmas theory, it helps to only have to do the guesswork on one side.

So, I've been working on my own list and have hit a rough spot. Suggestions welcome.

I've heard great things about Bare Escentuals. Does it live up to the hype? It gets rave reviews, but any makeup with a DVD instructional video might be too complex for me.

I would also love a new devotional book. I got one last year and it was very....basic. Any books that you have loved?

Any must haves that need to be on my list? Help a girl out.
