Do you know anyone who has all their gifts wrapped and ready?  I know the type, if thats you, you are my hero.

I personally haven’t even started but find that acquiring the paper, bows and labels to wrap all the goodies in can be just as fun as the gifts themselves.  I’m currently in love with the selection at the paper-source.com.

1. Santa Hat Dogs
2. Greetings Circle Stickers
3. Penguins
4. Polar Bear Stickers
5. Red Dot Bags
6. Moss Flourish

So everybody and their dog or cat for that matter has most likely seen the Keep Calm and Carry On posters, right?  If you haven’t, what bridge have you been living under?  Anywho, I like the motto because I’m the type of person that has been known to inch towards the stressed out, anxiety filled side.  What.  Here’s a few items that have the motto that you can incorporate into your more day to day life.  My personal fav is #3, the band-aids.

1. Wisteria, Keep Calm Tote
2. Paper Source, Keep Calm and Carry On Water Bottle
3. Paper Source, Keep Calm and Carry On Bandages
4. Avenue B’s Etsy Shop, Keep Calm and Carry On Pendant
5. Wisteria, Keep Calm Hand Towels
6. Hutch Me’s Etsy Shop, Keep Calm and Carry On Baby Onesie

Der thought it’d be a good idea if we all shared our dream Christmas Wishlists for this year–she explicitly said if money was no object what would you ask for.  So I picked a little something something or alot of something something.  But I categorized it for you foos because I’m OCD like that.  Anyway…have at it.  I’m drooling.
