Truth be told, I’m difficult to shop for. When I need something, I buy it for myself and I tend to have an eye for {not sure how to write this without sounding bad} expensive things. As the Turkish man in the markets told me, while trying to select a suzani in my price range, “you have very expensive taste lady.” It’s true. And I feel gauche asking for expensive things. I think that’s why I much prefer gifting. But, to help a few who have asked, here are a few items I’ve had my eyes on.

• Found this Patriots beanie last night while doing a little research and absolutely love it!
• A new cookbook to add to my collection.
• The black boots from my fall wish list that I never did buy.
• These pillows to add to my collection.
• And really anything for the kitchen from Food52. I think the tortilla warmer is pure genius!

We are down to 32 days till the big day! How is your holiday shopping coming along?
