wishlist: baker's edition

Happy December Everyone! I'm so excited for this time of year. Our tree is up, but not decorated yet. I have to mentally prepare for lighting it. I despise it. And so does Bradley, except he gives up, so it's all on me. Awesome. 

Anyway, to kick this season off, I've created a baker's wishlist. I already have most of these items and love them! The glass bowl is on my wishlist. I had no idea that these bowls fit the kitchenaid artisan stand mixers. I had originally wanted another metal bowl, but then I saw this and I was sold. I think it will be a nice change. The pie crust shield is a gadget that my mom has (that I got her). The other day I was baking a pie at my house and realized I didn't have one. They really make a big difference. No more fidgeting with aluminum foil on a hot pan. Just pop this baby on and you're good to go!

For more gift ideas, check out my wishlists from years past. For the beauty lover, for yourself, more for you, and for your guy. Some of the links still work, but even if they don't, these wishlists can give you some great ideas!

ALSO, the Black Friday/ Cyber Monday Sale ends tonight at midnight in My Shop! And I'm feeling extra generous so I bumped up the discount on the zippered pouches to 25% off! I won't be having a sale this big for a while, so get it while it's hot! The pouches make such sweet gifts. And you can give them a theme by adding nail polish and a file or some lip gloss or some jewelry. The possibilities are endless.

To get 25% off Zippered Pouches, enter code DECEMBER at checkout. Quilts are still 15% off with code GOBBLEGOBBLE. Thanks for Shopping Small!!! xo

some more ideas

1. Bare Minerals Customizable Get Started Kit: I have been using this makeup for 2 years now. I've never been one to put on liquid foundation because I love my freckles. I also don't like the feeling of a lot of makeup. When I tried Bare Minerals, I fell in love! It was the perfect makeup for me, because it could give me coverage on things I don't like (my dark undereye- thanks allergies!) and let me still show what I do like. I prefer the customizable starter kit over their other starter kit. In their other kit, I think they give you 4 small samples of foundation so you can find your best shade. But if you buy it at ulta or another store, they can help you decide what color you need and then you can get 1 big foundation. So you aren't left with makeup that you can't use!

2. Clarisonic Mia 2- Sea Breeze: Now this is on my wishlist this year. I don't have one, nor have I ever used one. But I know a ton of people who do and I have heard nothing but good reviews! I have never had a problem with acne, but I do find that I could use a bit more exfoliating and help with blackheads so I want to give this a shot!

3. Herstyler Grande Curling Wand: This is probably my favorite beauty item! I bought this wand in the mall about 3 or 4 years ago and I had no idea that it would turn out to be such an amazing product. If I curl my hair with a traditional metal curling iron, it doesn't hold at all. Even with hairspray. With this wand, I don't have to use hairspray and the curls last for days. I don't know their secret, but it could have something to do with how hot this thing gets! They include a glove to wear while you use it, which is necessary in the beginning. But once you get the hang of it, you don't need the glove.

4. OPI You're Such A Budapest: This is just a really sweet color that I found this summer. Love it!

5. Moroccan Oil- Light: Everyone knows about this, but I wanted to include it because it's such a great item to get as a gift. It can be somewhat expensive, so it's nice when you don't have to pay for it! This product is so amazing. I have been using it for about 3 years now. My hair has grown so much with the help of this. Normally my hair starts to look very rough after I grow it to a certain length. Moroccan Oil keeps my hair hydrated and healthy. I use the light version since I have fine, blonde hair and I only use it from the neck down- not for your roots!
