Favorite Things Link-up-(part 1)

YAY! My favorite link-up of the year....Linking up w. Elise for Favorite Things...Today is all about me... come join in and share what is on YOUR christmas list!!! And come join the next 2 Tuesdays (Nov 25 & Dec 2nd) for even more Christmas fun (stocking stuffers and gifts under $100) just grab the button below and be sure to link back to one of the lovely ladies.

For the most part, I am fairly easy and will be happy w. just gift cards-
Old Navy, Starbucks, Aerie and H&M  are some of my favorites

PJs or lounge type clothes(all from Old Navy)

my big gift that I would love (but not expecting) is a new laptop/tablet-...(mine is starting to slowly crap out and it would be between laptop or a tablet but I want something I can edit pictures on, etc. Ultimately I would love a Macbook Air but I also like this one below that can be used like a tablet but is still a laptop and its purple!)

5 item survival kit- man crates challenge

I was contacted last week by Man Crates to create my own 5 item survival kit, so you are probably wondering what they are all about? Well, you know how hard some men can be to shop for well they have you covered, it is a unique website that caters to gifts for men.   They have something for everyone- snack lovers, beer lovers, gamer, athlete, etc. So be sure to check them out for Christmas, Birthdays or just because.

So what would I put in my survival kit or what are my must-haves?

1. iPhone -my phone never leaves my side.
2. camera I could take my camera EVERY where, you never know when there is an opportunity for a picture
3. chocolate - does this need any explanation ;)
4. face wipes  these are my savior
5. chap stick - I dont leave my house w.out a chap stick

Brads is more practical and pretty self explanatory

phone, knife, baseball cap & running shoes



I am glad I now have an awesome site when I am completely stumped for gifts for the men in my life! So be sure to check out the website for all the awesome crates and also like their Facebook and follow on Twitter. So, what are 5 items you would put in YOUR survival kit?
