Fun Finds from December

 

Well, it’s probably too late to give you a gift inspiration if you are running behind for Christmas TOMORROW, but I do want to share with you some fun finds I ran across this month! Ready?

Return Address Label. A few months ago, I ordered a return address stamper for myself for church. I told Ryan that before we did our Christmas card mailing, I wanted to be sure to get a return address label stamper for us. We’ve only lived here two and a half years and have been handwriting our address that entire time! Ha! I used the same Amazon link, but we chose a different design for home.

Office Chair. It isn’t often (truly!) that I fall prey to an influencer, but I did this month! Let me tell you the story of my office chair. You may or may not remember that I have two desks in our house. One is in our kitchen and is a desk built into the counter. When we bought the house, it came with a wooden chair that had tons of character, but ZERO comfort. It was fine until I worked at LifeWise and sat in that chair for 8-10 hours a day. There weren’t enough pillows in the world to make it comfortable. So we sold it in our rummage a couple of years ago, and when my parents moved to Swiss Village, I inherited their desk chair from their house. It was a true office chair that felt good, but the arms prevented it from sliding under the desk completely, and our kitchen just is not big enough to support a chair sticking out in the middle. Plus – it just wasn’t aesthetically pleasing for the main part of the home.

So….I saw this chair on social media! It’s extra wide, so I can sit cross-legged on it, and it doesn’t have arms, so it slides right under. It’s so much prettier in our space, and it’s so comfortable. I cashed in driving reward money and bought it for myself, and I’m so glad I did!!

Suitcases (again). I told you last month that we purchased new suitcases, since ours were about 15 years old and terribly beaten from travel. I was excited to have a new set, but I was absolutely unprepared for how much I would love them! They are designed differently from what we had, and we can actually pack so much more efficiently now. It was such a game changer in EVERY WAY!!!

Heated vest. This was the gift I gave to Ryan for our anniversary, and he has given it rave reviews. It’s a puffer coat vest that has a battery pack and heat in it. He can choose high or low heat (or none) and it keeps his core warm. He wore it while he shoveled snow, and while we walked miles and miles all over downtown Indianapolis in the freezing cold. I’m so happy he has this for the winter!

Retro Radio. I do not have this, but I saw it and thought it was so cute! I have come to really enjoy the look of vintage things, so it caught my attention.

Tape Holder/Dispenser. I thought this was so handy!! Isn’t it the WORST to try to pull tape off the dispenser while wrapping gifts? This could be the answer! (I don’t have this either, but I thought it was cute.)
