Harry Connick Jr. When My Heart Finds Christmas - this is my favorite Christmas CD. Harry mixes some fun, upbeat tunes with traditional classics. I have given this CD as a gift many times!
BeautiControl Instant Manicure - this is one of the best beauty products out there! It is a hand scrub that leaves your hands silky smooth. I try to use it twice a day during the winter. When I am good about using it--I never have dry hands or cuticles during the winter. (If you'd like to try it--let me know--I can order it for you at a discount!)
The Body Shop Mango Body Butter - I have used this product for years. I use it at least twice a day and it truly softens your skin!
"Can You Keep A Secret" by Sophie Kinsella -- I LOVE this book. I have read it at least three times! It is laugh out loud funny. The book is not deep or try to solve world peace--it is simply a romantic comedy on pages.
Smart Touch gloves by Isotoner - I just bought a pair of these last week and LOVE them. You can keep your gloves on and use your touchscreen phone.
Unreal Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bars - Okay--they market it as "healthy" candy--I get it--there is no such thing! However, these are yummy. They claim there are no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, no GMOs, no hydrgenated oils and no corn syrup. So lets just say they might be a tad healthier than a Snickers bar? They are individually wrapped little squares--so it is just enough to quench that chocolate craving when needed.
Venus Disposable Razors--Once you go Venus--you can never go back. There is just something about a Venus razor that makes me pay a little more than I need to for a razor. What I do love about Venus is that I can buy the "heads" to the disposables in bulk at Sam's Club. I appreciate that they make replacable heads for their disposable razor. Swirlgirl's guy also loves them. After I bought him a bulk package of Gillette men's razors--my shower razor was still disappearing to his sink. He finally confessed he liked my razors better.
Naples Valley Brand Strawberry Pineapple Jam - I order this jam by the case because it is the only brand I have found to combine these two flavors. I discovered at a crafts many years ago and have been hooked ever since. It is my favorite pairing with peanut or almond butter.
Barney's Almond Butter - speaking of almond butter--so far my favorite is Barney's. I like the way it spreads and it is yummy. (Available at Whole Foods)
SpiBelt Running Belt - This is great for the walker/runner in your life. This tiny little pouch wraps around your waist and holds your cell phone, license, money and even keys. (Bulky key rings not so much but one or two keys, yes.) This is available at Dick's Sporting Goods for $19.99.

Bobby Brown Cream Eyeshadow - This is the reason I venture to Nordstroms. This is the best eyeshadow I have ever used. It is also a great base to use with powder eyeshadows. I use "Heather". It is very neutral. (the one on the far right in the picture.)
Sequence - I love games. It was hard for me to choose one. I chose one that (I think) appeals to everyone. This is a fun game of strategy.
BeautiControl Lip Balm - A product I use at least twice a day. It truly protects the lips and wards of chapped lips. (Again, if you'd like to order, let me know.)
From The Earth To The Moon Box Set-- I love this series. It is a great fictional depiction of the space program.
Maybelline XXL Collasal Mascara - I like this because it has the primer on one end and the mascara on the other. I rarely use mascara, but when I do, this is my product of choice.
24 Cup Cupcake Pan - It is no secret that I love to bake. Well, when I first saw this product, I thought to myself "OMG--why aren't all cupcake pans made like this!" A cake mix makes 24 cupcakes, why have we been putting them in two different pans for so many years???!!!!
Pampered Chef Large Bar Pan - I use this pan for anything and everything. However, the primary use for this pan is BROWNIES. Many people seem to love the brownies I make in this pan. They ask me my secret. Well, there is no secret, except for the pan. It takes two boxes of your favorite mix. (My other secret is I use "dark chocolate" mixes. I do not like dark chocolate--but in a brownie mix--it is awesome!) The brownies come out thick, chewy and delicious!
Mini Speaker for your iPod. I am not even sure which brand I have, but it does look like this. It is perfect when you want to amplify your iPod speaker a bit. This is a mini speaker--it will not work for your next Rager. (Yes, I just used the word Rager.)
Pumpkin Spice Eggos - Yes, I love them--all year round!
UGGS-- an annual favorite on Oprah's show. I truly think UGGs are UGLY!! However, they are so warm, cozy and easy to wear. You are technically not supposed to wear socks with UGGS. That is why I love them. You can just slip them on without trying to find a pair of matching socks in the house! I know they are VERY expensive, however, they will last forever and will forever keep your feet toasty warm. If you want to treat yourself, splurge a little on a pair. Do not try the "imitations". Some of them are expensive too and they do not last as long. I know many who have tried and then just bought the real thing.
Lastly, my most favorite thing: A VACATION! Specifically to Disneyland or Disneyworld!!
I hope you enjoyed this list! I am sure as soon as I post it, I will think of something I forgot!! (Please note: not one cleaning product made this list!!!)

Love your list Jodi. Have been using the Venus razors for years. The book sounds good. Harry Conniving Christmas need to check out and the gloves are a great idea. Oh yeah, the jam sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed your list....but you lost me on the Eggo and Disney....just don't get it. I've been to Orland on business countless times and have never stepped foot in to Disney... well, let me clarify....I did go to Epcot Center once....and I enjoyed it.
