Top Ten Tuesday (36) : Top Ten Gifts I Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree This Year
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by Brokeandbookish. This week’s theme is a Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Leaving Under My Tree This Year. I hope you guys don’t mind, but I decided to switch it up a bit. So, on this list, you will find books -obviously, because I ALWAYS wa nt books-, but other bookish, and non-bookish gifts I would love to get -and probably won’t, but, let’s get a little dreamy there, shall we? You can click on the title to buy, add to your gift list all of the things I’m talking about!
Okay, if you didn’t know it by my use of gifs in my blog posts, or at all, well, I LOVE FRIENDS. It’s my favorite tv show of ALL times, and I rewatch it forever. I actually watch it right now, even. I found out about these MARVELLOUS Pop! Toy Figures and now I can’t get them out of my head. I want to display them on my shelf with my books. Because, Friends is everything.
That, you should know: I love John Green, and my favorite book is Looking for Alaska. I haven’t bought it, yet, but maybe I will, for myself. I really want this gorgeous edition of my favorite books, and ALL of the bonus.
3 • A bullet journal – already ALL PRETTY if that’s not asking too much
Josie @ Josie the Bookworm introduced me to bullet journaling a few months ago in one of her blog posts, and I completely fell in love with the idea. Now, I want a bullet journal, because I love lists, I want to stay organized, and…look how pretty this looks?!.
4 • Travelling tickets to anywhere
New York City, Summer 2013 – Unforgettable and best trip of my life w/ my twinnie sister.
Okay, I really WANT, I need to travel. My latest trip was back in August – Amsterdam, you looked GORGEOUS – and I miss it badly. Travelling is like breathing, I need it just as much. I miss adventures, hotel rooms, new places and beautiful monuments to discover.
I’ve said it countless times now, I fell in love with Patrick Ness while reading More than this. And now, I can’t wait to read all of his other books, especially with everyone telling me how FABULOUS they are. I need all of the books, NOW, please.
I love art, and I absolutely love quotes. Something I would love, is a big poster with some of my favorite quotes on it, or several posters, while we’re at it. So I can hang it on my walls where the shelves aren’t, and my room, my place, I will be surrounded by books and words I love.
This is one of the books I’ve been the most excited to read this year, and I didn’t even get the time to do so. Obviously, I would love to have it under my Christmas tree, to finally read it, and hopefully love it, as much as other people did!
I LOVE books, obviously, and aren’t these mini book necklace FANTASTIC? I would love to have one, or two, or maybe a million, of all the books I love to carry around with me, close to my heart. I’m being kind of a poet today, aren’t I…
9 • A “What Would Blair Waldorf Do” Mug
Isn’t Blair Waldorf the BEST role model ever? She doesn’t take no for an answer, and surely doesn’t let anyone walk all over her. This mug would help me ask myself this important question, in any situation. What would Blair Waldorf do?!
I wasn’t very familiar with magical realism until I read The Accident Season. And I was completely BLOWN AWAY. Bone Gap has been on my TBR for a long time, way before I heard about The Accident Season, and it’s magical realism, too. The two probably can’t be compared, but if it’s the same kind of weird craziness fantastic story, I CANNOT WAIT.
Any gifts on my list that you’d want, too? What do YOU want Santa to leave under your Tree this year? Or, more importantly, what do YOU absolutely WANT, right now?! Tell me everything in comments! ?
Bullet journals are so enticing– especially ones that are already pretty! 🙂 I’ve heard really great things about Bone Gap as well, although I’ve never read it. Apparently it’s supposed to have a great twist at the end! Anyways, happy reading and Merry Christmas! 🙂
Exactly, haha! I’m not an artist, at all, so I would just love to have an already pretty bullet journal, haha :p Oh, really? I love twists, I should love this book even more, then! :p Thank you so much Holly, happy reading and Merry Christmas to you too! 😀
Aw yaay, I’m glad to hear that! 😀 It really is, I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. I NEED to get it, too! 😀
Thank you for stopping by!! <3
yay I love this list!!! makes me so excited for Christmas, as if I wasn’t already haha! I love those Friends pop! figurines and the bookish quote poster you put on here 🙂 hope you get all of these and more!
merry christmas!
here’s my ttt!
What a great list! I love how you did non bookish and bookish gifts instead of just books 🙂 I would love a bookish poster and a bullet journal would really help me stay organized.
I didn’t even know there were Pop! Figurines of Friends!?!?! But then again, they have almost everything that’s cool and fun, so why not :D?
You’ve wished for some great things and so many I can relate to. Unfortunately The Next Together was a little disappointing for me, but I hope you’ll like it! Many people do!!!
Lastly, I would totally steal those necklaces and the Blair Waldorf mug from you! Blair Waldorf is QUEEN!
Yaay! I only found out about these recently, and I NEED them in my life! 😀 I just love those things! 🙂
Aw, right, I remember your review about this one! I hope I’ll like it anyway, I can’t wait to read it! 🙂
YES! Blair Waldorf is the BEST, I love her so much! This makes me want to rewatch the series ahah 🙂
I get it! I want them in my life as well 🙂
Yeah, sometimes I think very differently to everyone else about certain things, so there is a high chance you’ll really enjoy it!
Great list! I love Pop! figures, though I’m not a huge Friends fan. I also love Rainbow Rowell and Gossip Girl. And traveling is a must, I haven’t done as much of it as I’d like, but that’s a fantastic Christmas wish.
I hope you get everything you asked for, Merry Christmas!
Oh yay! Do you already have some Pop! figures, and if so, which ones? 😀 Yay, travelling really is the best, I hope both you and I will be able to travel a lot next year! 😀
Thank you so much, that’s so sweet! And thank you for stopping by, Merry Christmas to you too! 😀
Your number one is my number one forever and ever. I am literally watching Friends right now! I absolutely love that show and I really want any kind of items from that show, it’d be swell
OH YAY, another Friends fan!!! This makes me so happy! I’m so glad I’m not alone, I would love to get everything from that show! I’ve been looking at the poster in Monica’s apartment, whenever I’m really settling in in one place, I will definitely buy it and hang it on my wall! :p
Thank you for stopping by, Sara! 😀
THEY ARE????!! Okay, I just jumped up and down and almost screamed Chandler and Monica. I am a bit crazy ahahah. Those are just rumors, I guess? Oh, I love them so, SO much! 😀
I’ve still have never got myself a Pop! I’ve brought them for friends but never for myself!
Can we all please get a ticket to anywhere????? Santa? Please!?
Have a fantastic Christmas 🙂
I think we are the same, ahah! I bought some pop! for friends, too, I think it’s about time we get some for ourselves, too 😀
Thank you so much for stopping by, Amy, have a fantastic Christmas, too! 😀
I didn’t realize Looking for Alaska has been out for that long; but any John Green gift would be perfect for you, Marie! And oh my gosh, Pop! Funkos are so cute. I don’t have any yet but I’ve been eyeing the Sherlock and Belle one. 🙂
That’s crazy! I just remember reading it around the time it was released, it feels like yesterday. Time flies!
Ohh those two are so cute, you should buy them for yourself, as your own Christmas gift! 🙂
I’m so glad I got you interested in the art of bullet journaling! I hope someone gifts you a fantastic notebook which you can use to do your bullet journaling. Just like you, I am wishing for a ticket to anywhere and everywhere! I need to travel!
And those bookish necklaces are to DIE FOR. AGH SO CUTE.
I am obsessed with Gossip Girl and Blair Waldorf! That is a gorgeous mug! Wonderful picks this week!
This is all YOUR FAULT, I’m being obsessed about bullet journaling thanks to you, hahaha :p I’m kidding, thank you, seriously this is a wonderful idea, and I can’t wait to start the new year with it! 🙂
Yay, Gossip Girl is really great, Blair Waldorf is The Queen of Everything, ahah, I just love her so much! 🙂
Thank you so much Josie!! <3
Hehe, I do not regret any of it! I’m so glad you’re excited. I’m going to be starting off fresh next year too, because I just spilt my coffee all over my old journal this morning. I suppose it’s a sign that’s telling me to start anew!
Blair has so much sass and is such a strong woman! I love that girl.
You’re more than welcome!
Yep, I’ve watched all the seasons! The ending is the best, I was holding out just for that last episode, it was so worth it! I actually cried at the end because I was so happy.
OMG I want ALL of the things on your list!! I totally understand the Patrick Ness obsession! I own all of his YA books and have now moved on to buying his adult books!! He’s just the most wonderful writer! I really enjoyed The Next Together and I hope you get to read it soon! Also, I am totally bullet journalling in 2016! Josie introduced me to that too and I can’t wait to get started!
Yaay! 2016 is going to be my Patrick Ness’ year, I can feel it coming 😀 Oh, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it, I can’t wait to read this book 🙂
Yaay, we’re going to start a club of people who are starting bullet journalling thanks to Josie, ahah :p
I LOVE FRIENDS TOO! 😀 I would love to collect all of them, but I really, really, really want a Monica and a Chandler! The Blair Waldorf mug is amazing too – I miss the Gossip Girl days!
Oh YAY! Friends is the best tv show, I miss it so, so much <3 Oh yes, buy them, they will look so cute right next to each other 🙂
Oh, I miss the Gossip Girl days, too, especially the first season 🙁
Thank you for stopping by! 😀
Literally every time I read that Eleanor & Park quote, it gives me chills. EVERY TIME. I would love to have posters like that in my room as well…..”surrounded by the words I love”- I love that idea! And I adore John Green as well, and Looking For Alaska is by far my favorite of his! I got a Looking For Alaska mini book necklace from my secret santa, and I wear it almost every day because I love it so much!
We should order tons of posters like that to put up everywhere, it would be fantastic! 😀 Oh yay, another John Green fan! Looking for Alaska is by far my favorite book of his, too! 😀 Oh wow, you’re so lucky, it must look SO beautiful!! 😀
Thank you for your sweet comment, and Merry Christmas! 😀
There are so many things on here I want too! 😀 THE FRIENDS POP FUNKOS!! I need them in my life. I love how Chandler and Joey’s pop are holding the Chick and the Duck 😀
Yaay! 😀 I need them in my life, too, so badly. You’re right, that’s so funny! I love that Ross’s pop is with the monkey, too :p It’s decided, I NEED to buy those. :p
