COTE DE TEXAS’ CHRISTMAS - 20220 YEAH!!!!!!!

  It’s that time of year again when I publish the Cote de Texas Christmas List!  OK OK  - I know it’s not Oprah or Goop’s list but it is our list – tailored to all of you that read the blog!   I actually think about this list all year long and jot down ideas in anticipation of the Christmas season.  As in previous seasons, I also get ideas from family and friends.  Many items I bought personally or know someone who did.  There are one or two repeats, but I wish I could do more repeats!!!   My taste doesn’t change all that much from year to year. 

I love to go back and see what items were the biggest sellers.  My first (I think!) Christmas list in 2016 had one runaway hit.  It was this feather jacket below!

I was so surprised that this was the best seller!  So, for the next year, I looked for as many cute feather jackets as I could find to put on the 2017 list.  And of course, while you did buy some feather items, the bloom was off the rose.  In fact, today you really can’t even buy a feather jacket anywhere except on Ebay.

I did find this darling purse for those who still love feathers.

 HERE

The past two years, the most loved gift was Charlotte Tilbury lipstick.  This year I added a Charlotte stocking stuffer!!

I hope you enjoy perusing the list as much as I enjoy compiling it!  The most exciting thing is that it’s December and that means this annus horribilis is almost over and the vaccine will soon be available.  For that, I want to everyone who volunteered to take part in the vaccine trials – including my friend, @KarenlSkolnik!

And thank you to all who read Cote de Texas throughout the year.  I can’t tell you how much you mean to me and how much your comments mean to me!!

Wishing all a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah and a healthy New Years!!!!  HEALTHY!!!!!

 

This just really caught my eye.  I would leave it just like this, without a vase!   Comes in different sizes, too.   HERE

Ben actually found this candle online.  It’s always out of stock, so we order other scents, which are also good.  Love!  HERE

Wonderful for outside or inside.  Medium and small size available.

Everyone knows this is my all time favorite fragrance.  My sister in law Shannon swears by this diffuser.  She say it keeps her bedroom smelling like a fragrant cloud (or something like that!??!) HERE

MOOSOO CORDLESS VACUUM 4 IN 1 POWERFUL SUCTION STICK

I bought this a year ago.  I didn’t want to spend a fortune, so I looked for a really cheap one, figuring in case I didn’t like it – no harm done.  Instead – I have LOVED it!   I keep it in a closet.  It stands up against the wall and I charge it as soon as I finish using it.  I put an extension cord in the closet so it will be charged and ready to go at all times.

I was so thrilled to throw out my old clunker vacuum with the big square  machine I had to pull behind me.  It really stopped me from vacuuming.  Instead, I might use it twice a day now!!!

Well, here it is!  And I’m exhausted!   Checking the links and finding all the items wears you down!   BUT, I’ll be back at it this week with my bestie, when the two of us join forces and find things we both love together.   Christmas List #2 – Bestie List should be up in one week – God willing!!!!

Be safe y’all and please wear your mask outside, don’t touch doorknobs of strangers, and on and on.  We are almost at the end of the road when we will finally get that vaccine!!!
