Stuff I actually love (and think you should add to your Christmas list)
I wanted to share a few of the things I really use and love. When we downsized to a 320-square-foot apartment, I started thinking a little harder about what needs to take up our space. So here are a few of my true favorite things. These are things I can recommend 100 percent because I already use and love them.
I hope you enjoyed reading about a few of my favorite things! I tried to really think about the stuff I really adore, and I hope you find some favorites, too.
Now, check out the favorite things of some other wonderful bloggers …
What would be on your favorite things list?

60+ books!!!! That’s impressive and I guess I should add the keeper to my list but I haven’t found any time to read lately. At all!!!
Kim Woodward says
I couldn’t believe it when I added them up. It’s definitely the most I’ve read in a year. And while I’ve been busy, I’ve just prioritized it over things like cleaning and laundry. 😉 Ha.
Jenny@EvolutionofStyle says
I’m totally crushing on that scarf! I have a bit of thing for scarves and for plaid right now, so that one fits the bit! I hear you on the Silhouette – I love mine! Great list!
Leslie says
Hi! I loved your list–I’ve had Kate Morton books on my to be read list, but I haven’t picked it up yet. You mentioned that you have read over 60 books this year…I couldn’t find a post listing them. I would love to hear your favorites! Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving! -Leslie

I post and try to rate them all on Goodreads, if you are interested. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1340051-kim
Kelly says
I love scarves but always have difficulty knowing how to wear them would love to see someone discuss this topic with pictures for those of us with interest but novice skills.
Kim Woodward says
I usually wear mine the same old way, but I’ve found some great tips on Pinterest for new ways to wear scarves.
Samantha says
Love your ideas!!!
xo,
Sam
Cristina says
Oh wow, Kim! You’ve put together such an awesome list. Five items are going straight to my wish list! I’ll be checking the deals for the Silhouette for sure. Thanks!
Carolann Leibenguth says
Wow I love your list and I will be checking for the Silhouette Portrait, on black Friday or Cyber Monday. Glad you commented on the book cover lol I would have passed on it too, I love a good read and am going to put it in my stocking.
Kim Woodward says
It’s a good one – definitely don’t judge this book by its cover.
Watch Silhouette’s store, too. They are saying there will be a machine for $99.

I’ve been eyeing those Ugg slippers for a couple years. I’ve been wearing my Ugg boots as slippers for a few years but sometimes they get a little toasty so those slippers might make their way onto my list this year.
Kim Woodward says
They really are so comfy. I always ask for a pair for Christmas because I use an abuse those puppies.
Lisa says
Love your list – I’ve added a couple of items from it to my own. Thanks for sharing!
Rachel says
Yeeesssssss to The Secret Keeper. So so good. And I love the monogram necklace! I love that it’s not too huge. I’ve seen some that are BIG that I haven’t liked as much, but that one looks perfect.
Kim Woodward says
I think I read The Secret Keeper because of you.
Trina LJBaH blog (@LetsBuildaHouse) says
I love my blanket scarf SO far only for decor in the house… it’s SO hot!! But I will probably really use the crap out of it in the winter. I also get comments on my monogram necklace all the time. I love it, it’s also great for layering
Pam @ Simple Details says
Oooh, I love the monogram necklace – such a classic! Fun to meet you through the blog hop, Kim! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Mandy Ford says
Oh such a good list! And ditto on the cozy slippers…I’m addicted to Muk Luks and just scored a cute new pair at TJ Maxx! 🙂
Kim Woodward says
They are a must!
Darnetha | ChippaSunshine says
Great list! Let’s just talk Kate Morton for a second. I love her books and The Secret Keeper was fantastic! Have you read The House at Riverton? I want her latest book The Lake House, it came out this October. I think I might buy it for myself for Christmas!
Kim Woodward says
I haven’t read her others, but they are all on my list. I have a wish list to my library’s e-book system and I just read them as they come available. I think I’m next in line for The Lake House.
Brittaney @ Hudson and Co. says
I’m so glad you love your scarf! I keep using it for decor purposes, and then when I’m heading out the door I’ll grab it to throw on. It’s so multi functional! lol Also, I started making an actual list out last year and I felt kind of bratty about it at first, but then I thought hey-better to give Justin-I mean Santa an idea rather than him trying to read my mind. :p Oh and I want the Silhouette so bad.
Kim Woodward says
I totally meant to mention in the post that you shared this scarf deal with me. I just edited.
I typically make a list, too. It’s easier than being disappointed when you don’t get what you want. 😉
