I was recently asked by a friend the other day:  “What are 10 things that would make you happy?” Interesting question as I started to become way too philosophical on her!  I am already a really happy person with my wonderful husband and my amazing son!

She was really fishing to see what I wanted for Christmas this year!  So funny!  I am not a big material girl, but there are things that I have in my life that make me happy or a few things that I would love to have to make my life easier or to help my clients.  I am all about making my life simpler.   I find certain gadgets like my “crackberry” to be a lifesaver and my MacBook Pro to be one of the greatest tools ever invented.  So here are 10 things that I do not have, that I really feel would make my life easier (or that I just seriously would like to have).

1st on the list?  Ahhh, the ever popular Flip Video Recorder.  My brother has one and my publicist has one.  Why don’t I have one?  I should have one to take quick video notes of flowers for each weekend.  And yes – I want this specific one – you can buy one too buy clicking on the image! I should just click and buy it myself right now!  (I probably will).

2nd – This colorful and eco-friendly tape would be wonderful for a few craft projects I have coming up:

3rd – I am thinking I would love to have the itouch.  I tried the iphone and sorry folks, At&T sucks in my area!  Waiting for it to come to Verizon.  However, getting the itouch would mean having all of the other benefits without the photo factor.  Seriously considering it!

The Kindle Wireless Reader- Need I say more?  As a writer and an avid reader, I salivate to have this gadget!

I am needing a new lamp in my room and I am totally diggin’ this one from Anthropologie:

We are remodeling our bathrooms (one down, one to go) and these are on my wish list for the master bathroom:

And finally (as I am in desperate need of a new laptop case) I will probably buy this:

So as you can see, nothing fancy here!  Again, I must reiterate, I could go without all of these items as long as I have Miguel & Derek!

Happy Holidays!
