Hello, my love. Welcome back to the Busy Yet Pretty Podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I hope you had a lovely
Thanksgiving and are having a great holiday. Let's be honest, this is truly just the best time of the year,
and I just hope you guys are doing well and truly enjoying yourself because, remember, the holidays come once a year,
and it's super good to be present and enjoy it. And before we get into our weekly review, I do want to give a big thank you to my Spotify listeners.
I received my Spotify wrapped for the podcast, and I cannot believe just the results of it.
It's so unbelievably amazing and gorgeous to see the growth in the show every single month.
And I'm truly so grateful for your support, and I would not be here without you guys.
So I just love our little community, our family.
We're just one big family, and I love it.
But now let's get into our weekly review.
This week I watched the holiday by Nancy Myers for the first time and I know, I know I cannot believe I just am watching it now, but it is truly one of the best holiday movies and I've already rewatched it a few times, but Nancy Myers just gives the perfect like Martha Stewart Shabby chic aesthetic that I'm going for.
So it is just beautiful and I love the look of the sets in the movie.
Another thing is I have been at Black Friday shopping and I hope you guys took advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Friday.
Monday. If not, there's so many other sales that are going on. So do not worry. And lastly this
week is I just have been enjoying the holidays while planning for the new year. I just get so excited
every December for the following year. And I just know 2025 is going to be our year on becoming
the best version of us and achieving our dream life. So I'm really excited for that. But I've been
trying to plan things I want to do for January on starting.
a new year and becoming the best version of you.
Now into my current obsession.
My current obsession at the moment is peppermint lattes.
I love nothing more than a peppermint latte during the colder months.
It just feels so nice, so refreshing, and it just feels like I'm drinking a candy cane.
Another current obsession right now is a Ralph Lauren Christmas.
I know I've mentioned this every episode, but I just love a Ralph Lauren Christmas look.
I think it's so classy, so clean.
I just love the traditional colors of the deep red and deep green.
I think it's so just nostalgic and cozy.
My last current obsession at the moment is having real wreaths in your home.
I got a real wreath from Trader Joe's and it just smells so good and it just makes your, it just elevates your place so much.
Now on to the goal of the week.
My goal at the week right now is to brainstorm my 2025 plans.
As I was saying, I'm really trying to be prepared for the new year. And with that, I do want to
have my January kind of planned out and know what I'm doing. So maybe start off with a vision board
or start off working on a certain goal I wanted to start working on. So kind of just breaking down
my goals and what I have to do to achieve those for the new year. And don't worry, we're going to
have plenty of new year episodes that are going to be all about how to be productive and
starting new goals, starting a new chapter of your life, and honestly just our new year was the
resolution. So the first month of January, we will be diving all into that. Another goal of the week
right now is to look in plans to visits to maybe different places that I would want to buy a home.
I feel like, you know, rent when you're paying for an apartment can feel like you're just wiping
all your money on rent when I really just want to start investing in my home. So I do kind of want to
tour some areas and look around where maybe I would want to, you know, buy a home one day soon.
My last goal of the week is to find some clogs that I really want to get because I think clogs are
so cute and just look adorable. There's a pair that I have my eye on that are pink. The first
pink clogs I've seen that are the most perfect color pink. They're from Rothies and I just,
I love them and I'm asking for them for Christmas. But I just love clogs. I think they're so cute
and comfortable. Now on to your self of question. What are you most thankful for to your younger
self? I love that question so much because sometimes we can feel embarrassed of our younger self or feel
like, you know, that was just so far in the past, but we forget that our younger self actually
shapes so much of who we are today. And it's important to be grateful to our younger self for
experiencing things and us learning from our mistakes and teaching us now, our future self,
things we wouldn't have known or realized without us trying it out when we were younger.
Now on to your affirmation.
I am blessed in every aspect of my life.
I adore that affirmation and I really recommend affirming that to yourself.
Now unto your challenge.
Take time to sit with yourself at night to reflect on what you're most grateful for
and how can you make the next day special.
I love this challenge so much and I really recommend you challenging yourself to do this
because it's so important to just reflect on our life and really not just jump ahead, but just
live in the present. But of course, once we'd be able to reflect, we want to know how we can make
the next day even better. So I really recommend you doing that. Now moving on to the podcast review,
this review is from Kaylin. And Caitlin said,
Hi, Jaden. I've been listening to your podcast since it first came out in 2022. And I just want to
say how much it truly has changed my life. I discovered it during the
my first breakup and it helped me learn how to prioritize self-care and put myself first.
Your podcast has allowed me to become the best version of myself and inspired me to keep striving
for growth. I cannot thank you enough for the impact you've had and not only just on me,
but so many other people around the world. You truly are an inspiration and I've taught me
how to stay busy yet pretty. Kaelan, that review made my day and I cannot tell you enough how
grateful I am that you have been tuning in since the beginning and not only that. Having the
a breakup and going through a traumatic experience can be something that feels very lonely and it
makes you want to isolate and having something that you can fall back on. It feels so nice and
it's important to have that little comfort and safety net. Without further ado, it's time to get
into today's episode, which we are going to be talking all about holiday wish list and the
perfect gift guide. I feel like sometimes we just need some ideas on what to add to our wish list
and ideas to give for our family, our friends, and our loved ones.
And it's important to have those little ideas stocked up.
And of course, remember that the best gift is just being in company with each other.
And, you know, the holidays is not about the gifts, but it is the gift giving season.
So it's nice to have some ideas on what you can ask for and what you can most importantly give to others.
I love nothing more than to hear what other people are asking for for Christmas.
in the holidays, as well as what people are giving and gifting their loved ones.
So this episode has been highly requested and I thought, why not gather on my personal
wishless things I'm asking for myself, along with the best gift ideas and, of course,
affordable gift ideas as much as we wish we could give every single person in our life
a Chanel bag, but, you know, one day.
But let's not waste any time and get straight into ideas that you can add to your own
wish list. Starting off, this is not a specific item I'm naming, but you know that item that you've
had in your cart before and then you just never pulled the trigger on it or just an item that you've
been thinking about all year how you want it, but you're just unsure about it. This is your time
to ask for it now for Christmas because, you know, it's nice when you get something that you've
been actually wanting for a while. You just have been too scared to pull the trigger on it,
but then you get it for Christmas, then you finally have it and it becomes your face.
for item. I feel like that's happened to so many of us and just get that thing out of your
cart and ask for it for Christmas. An item that I am so obsessed with right now and honestly
would do anything for one but they sold out again is the Hill House robe monogrammed. So
cute. I'm obsessed with it. It's like a little floral print and it really just gives that
Adjurf Avenue look. But why is everything monogrammed so much cuter? Truly.
Another thing that you can ask for is a good PJ set. There's so many cute PJ sets over Victoria's Secret.
Hill House. I was getting a lot of questions where I had one. It's from Everjay. It's really cute.
I love T.J. Max for pajama sets in Amazon. There's so many places where you can ask for some that have such
cute prints so I really recommend getting a new PJ set for the new year. Another great idea of something
you can ask for, which is something I am asking for it this Christmas is a sourdough starter kit.
There is nothing better than picking up a new hobby in the new year and starting off with a
sourdough starter kit is perfect because it's going to allow you how to figure out how to start making
sourdough and who knows this may be your new favorite hobby. And with your sourdough kit, you may
want to ask for a new apron and a cookbook. It's just so cute and cozy to start taking time for
yourself and learning how to bake new things and just having a new apron and a cookbook to go in
hand with your new baking sourdough kit. It's just perfect. Something that you could ask for,
which is perfect for just an everyday tote or if you want to have it for school or work is
a long shump bag or any type of tote. But a long shump bag is so cute. It's a
so elevated and classy and perfect for everyday use. Also, Coach has really cute totes as well.
Something that I have been loving right now is I just think they're so cute is the Ralph Lauren
Bear sweaters. Another thing, and this is kind of like a New Year's staple, but getting a Stanley
cup to keep hydrated during the day or just any type of new long-lasting, cool cup. It's the year
of keeping hydrated, healthy, and glowing, and with that, you need to stay hydrated with water.
So it truly is the perfect wishless item to ask for because it's practical and you definitely
will be using it during the new year. Another great idea is blue light glasses or new sunglasses.
Blue light glasses are perfect to have when you're working on your computer or just being on your phone.
It is not good to have all that blue light to her eyes.
I need to get a new pair of blue light glasses because it is so important to not have your
eyes always straining looking at your phone. Another idea is the hatch alarm clock or just a
nice peaceful alarm clock to wake up to. I love waking up to a hatch alarm clock because I feel
like I'm just like my heart isn't racing when I wake up hearing my iPhone alarm go off and said
it's hearing like a nice peaceful breeze or it'll wake you up to some nice calming music. With that
you may want to ask for a new duvet insert or a duvet cover. I feel like it's so nice to have some
new pillowcases, sheets, duvet, something that's going to look cute on your bed.
Whatever looks cute on your bed because, you know, we spend a lot of time in our room
in our bed and we want to feel cozy, cute, and pretty. So maybe ask for some new home decor.
And when you're asking for new home decor, make sure you're being specific so people know what
to get you and what your style is. And if you don't have unnecessarily certain items that you're
wanting to ask for, you can even go on Pinterest and make a little more.
mood board for someone to see. Personally, I'm loving the shabby chic Martha Stewart Nancy
Myers look so I'm going to be putting all that in maybe with some Love Shack Fancy
Inspo or some inspo of 90s Martha Stewart and who knows that you may be even wanting to ask
for some new furniture for your place. Another great idea of something you can ask for is an
aura ring. Again, that is something where it's kind of like entering our new season of us in
2025 so having an aura ring to focus on your health is a great thing to ask for or an Apple Watch
I know that's great as well a great thing to ask for and to give to someone is an experience
so that could be a trip a day trip somewhere or concert tickets amusement park etc
anything that kind of gives you a experience can be really exciting and something to look
forward to maybe you could ask for a day trip to your local farm or
or go on a day trip to a cute place that you've been wanting to go check out to go shopping to.
Stuff like that, like a little experience can be really nice
and also get you and your family or you and your friends out of the house.
Okay, this is such a personal favorite, but a themed box.
I love things that are a theme, so maybe you could ask for just a movie box.
So someone could just get you different types of popcorn and a new movie to watch
and a Netflix subscription.
Things like that that kind of give you a theme
is really fun as a gift to receive
and to give to someone else.
So that's a great gift idea to give to someone.
Maybe a theme can also be a dessert box
where you do a ton of different desserts
or a snack box where you do a ton of different international snacks.
It's really cool to just do on theme and on brand of things.
Personally, for me, I want a shabby, chic,
love shack, fancy, inspired box
where it's all very girly, pink, and feminine.
Okay, this is something if you want to kind of have a good investment of an item,
which is a Rothi's bag or a Rothi's shoes.
I love Rothies.
I'm such a Rothies fan, and so was my mom.
But it's basically shoes and bags, and they have all different things,
that you can literally throw in the wash, and it washes perfectly,
and it just gives you a new use out of your bag every time you washes.
So I really recommend trying to go maybe look into that.
I have a Rothese bag myself that I love.
They are definitely pricey.
So there's a ton of other type of washable bags also over Amazon.
Now, if you're a thrifter and just get all your clothes from the thrift store,
it can be hard to know what to ask for because you don't really go shopping for certain items at certain stores.
But you do go thrifting.
So you can ask for a Goodwill gift card or if the place where you go thrifting at doesn't have gift cards,
you can just ask for money to go towards your thrift trips in the future.
Now, this is another personal favorite to ask for, but it's a jelly cat.
Everyone loves a good jelly cat.
It's the perfect item to receive and the perfect item to give.
I feel like it's honestly the perfect item to give because I feel like no one really
ask for a jelly cat.
Oh, sorry, a jelly cat is a really cute stuff animal.
They're definitely pricey, but they have any stuff animal you could think of.
I just got a bowl of oatmeal for a jelly cat and it's so cute.
It's literally a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries on it.
It is the cutest stuff animal ever.
But I feel like it's the type of item where you wouldn't necessarily ask for it usually,
but anyone would love to receive it.
So it really is just the perfect gift to give to someone.
Next step is Gizu Hair Oil.
I feel like it's so nice to have some beauty products that are long lasting and are cute
and getting to make you excited to invest in self-care.
So I think the Gizu hair oil is so cute and pretty.
And I remember I asked for it a few years ago.
And when I got it, it was just the most exciting gift.
Another thing you could ask for is a new comb or a new hairbrush.
I feel like that's something where we kind of just need a refresh of a brush every year.
Another one is MEJ clips.
MEJ clips are just so cute, classy, and they're really durable and last.
forever but they're definitely pricey so if you want to maybe get a ton of other variety of clips you
could also go on amazon and there's really great claw clips on there another great idea is a road
phone case i know everyone has the road phone case i don't but i think it's so cute and adorable
but maybe the new road phone case with the new matilda jerve peppermint lip gloss i think it's
so cute and maybe something that you want to ask for i can't be the only one who has this like
dream item of theirs that they always see whether it's a bag, a sweater, a top, and you're like,
I just need that, but it's like sold out everywhere.
That's me with this one, vintage Duny and Burke bag.
I literally was looking everywhere for it, and I somehow found one on a Poshmark.
But not just one.
I found multiple of them at such a good price, and I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true.
So if you know me, you know I am a Poshmark girl.
Poshmark is a marketplace where you can list and sell, as well as buy new items,
vintage pieces gently used, luxury pieces, they really just have it all. And I feel like there's
no better time to go on Poshmark now. Everyone's cleaning out their closet and listing good things.

I can't be the only one who has this like dream item of theirs that they always see whether it's a bag, a sweater, a top, and you're like, I just need that, but it's like sold out everywhere.
That's me with this one, vintage, Duny, and Burke bag.
I literally was looking everywhere for it and I somehow found one on a Poshamark.
But not just one. I found multiple of them at such a good price.
And I was like, wait, this is just too good to be true.

One piece of a high-quality jewelry, like a bracelet or a necklace that's not going to tarnish
is a really great thing to ask for because it's an investment and it's going to be nice to
have all throughout your life because it's not going to tarnish and it's going to be
really durable.
So I really recommend getting something that maybe is a really great quality jewelry
piece and you can also ask for a jewelry cleaner.
I feel like our jewelry sometimes gets dirty from makeup and lotion, so asking for a jewelry cleaner
or a jewelry solution can be super nice.
When it comes to clothing, we all need some basics and staples, whether it's just a tank top
or just a cute pair of shorts.
But maybe you could ask for some nice basic staples from Brandy, Melville, or Skams, or Zara,
really anywhere that has some great basics that you could always just re-wear, re-wear,
shirts or for any of your outfits can be a great gift to receive. Like I said, home decor when I was
talking about the duvet sheets, home decor can be something that's super nice. Again, we're entering
the new year. We're going to want a new room a lot of the time, you know, changing up our room
decor and organizing it. So adding some new things to your room, your home, your house,
your bathroom, whatever it is can feel so nice, refreshing and new. And again, look on Pinterest to
try to find some styles you like and that's going to help you try to be more specific on what
items you're wanting so you're able to achieve that style that you're going for. This is kind of
random but something that you could ask for is a subscription or music streaming platform. It's always
nice to have a subscription renewed so maybe that's a Netflix subscription, your Spotify, things like that
where you know it's not a fun payment to do but it's a necessity. You need to hear your music. You need to
watch your TV so it honestly can be the perfect gift to receive. Books. We are entering the year of
reading. So it's time for you to go find some books that you want to read in the new year. Remember,
we're going to be setting new goals for ourselves. And one of the things is reading more books.
And if you're thinking, I hate books, I hate reading, listen, I was the same way. I hated reading.
It was the worst to me. But I have learned to love it because I actually found things I enjoy reading.
So maybe take time to go find and look on TikTok of different ideas of books that align to you
and things that you would like.
So maybe you can ask for a book for Christmas.
Same goes with a journal.
The five-minute journal is a great way to start off your new year.
And it's really great to just have by your bedside table.
So that's another thing that you could ask for.
As we enter the year of becoming the best version of you, putting things on your wish list for wellness, mindset,
and things that are going to make you feel prepared for the new.
year can be so helpful. Maybe you want to ask for a matcha or a new macha whisk or a new
matchable. Maybe you're a coffee girl so ask for some new coffee beans that you've been eyeing or a new
mug. Those are some wishless items that may be helpful for you to ask for and to put onto your
wish list. But now let's talk about the most important thing which is what we are planning
to give this holiday season and I don't know if it's just me, but I 100% prefer
giving than receiving. I love, love just shopping and getting everyone's gifts wrapped and it just makes
me so excited to give. But let's be real, it's only exciting to give and gift when you are excited
about what you're getting that person. So let's talk about some things that you can gift to your
Bessie, your mom, your sister, and great ideas for any of your girlfriends in your life.
Like I said, a jellycat is something that you would not necessarily ask for, but anyone who receives
it is just going to think it's the perfect gift. So maybe you can get a jelly cat based off of what they love.
So maybe if they like oatmeal, get them the oatmeal bowl. If they like bunnies, get them the jelly
cat stuffed animal bunny. Something that I feel like is the perfect gift to give is a ballobans
and just a yoga Pilates set. Ballabands are a great weight set. They have a lot of different
things. But I love their weights. And who doesn't love entering the new year with some new workout
equipment. Same with a Pilate set. Maybe you can give them a yoga mat or a sweat towel, something that's
going to make them excited to get into the new year for their new year's resolutions because I feel
like 99% of us set a health new year's resolution that has to do with working out. So it can feel
exciting when you have some new equipment to work out with. I love this and I'm actually asking for
one myself, but a coffee table book. I think coffee table books are just so
nice to have on your bedside table or on your table or your kitchen wherever it is it just is so
pretty and there's so many different coffee table books that can go with your style of home i am awaiting
love shack fancy to put out a coffee table book because i will instantly buy it but i'm asking for
one that is honestly looks like a love shack fancy style book and i think it's so shabby chic and
you. Okay, this is the favorite gift giving idea, but it's a monogram sink towel or anything monogrammed.
As I said, monogrammed is just so classy and elevated when you have your initials on something or
you have your name and it just feels so personal. So if you give someone, you know, a monogrammed
sink towel, they're going to love it because it has their initials on it. Who doesn't love
something that's personalized? Slippers are something that is just so nice to give someone because
everyone loves a new pair of slippers throughout the years and a Tiffany heart keychain I saw is definitely
more on the pricier side but if you do want to spoil one of your girls definitely get the
Tiffany heart key chain it is so cute perfect to add to someone's keys or house keys whatever it is
it is just beautiful a fragrance is one of the perfect gifts you can give any girl in your life
it can be any perfume and fragrance that you feel fits them the best and there are so many millions of different fragrances out there
and also sometimes at home goods or tg max they have really good ones along with a candle a candle is something that everyone loves again during the new year to start having some new things to be excited to use so a candle can be so comforting and cute for a self-care night speaking up as i was saying you can do a themed box you can do a themed box of
like a self-care box or someone so a candle, slippers, a robe. That is literally one of the best
gifts you can receive and maybe you want to put an ice roller in there, a guasha, a face steamer.
This gift is not necessarily an exciting gift but more of a very practical and useful, hopefully
never have to use, but useful gift is safety items. So every girl could use safety items so you
could get someone a taser pepper spray, just things like you.
that to carry around with them for their safety is something that every girl appreciates.
Honestly, anyone loves practical gifts. That's even like a portable charger because when, even though
maybe it's not necessarily exciting as a gift, but I promise you, it's going to be the most
useful gift. As I said, you can get a candle with a candle wick trimmer. They're really
inexpensive and just elevate the gift so much. A hot water bottle heater with like a cute furry
sweater on the water bottle is so cute and nice for your period, your PMS symptoms, or if your back
hurts, it just is the perfect heater. Another great one is a rice pack heater. Those are two that I have
and I use those whenever I'm having, you know, stomach pains or some PMS pains or if I have a
headache, they're just perfect to have on hand. And they definitely fit into that wellness
vibe. And if you're thinking that you don't have too much money to spend on gifts, let's not
forget that the thought is what counts. Thoughtful free of cost gifts such as a heartfelt card or
a planned date in the park or a picnic date or a DIY gift is honestly just as valued as much
as a store-bought gift. If you're thinking, oh well that person's going to want, you know,
something from a store or a beauty product or an item more, but I just can't afford it. Let me just
say any item can be bought, but time cannot. And you spending your time on being heartfelt and writing a
really nice card or doing something like a little DIY thing for them is your own personal creation.
And it's showing how much time and ever went into it. So let me just say I honestly would love a
heartfelt time card or something that's, you know, not store bought even more than a storebought.
Now moving on to gifts for any man in your life, your boyfriend, your husband, your dad, your brother, whatever.
These are the perfect gifts to give to that man in your life.
Okay, like I said, something practical and useful is so appreciated, but especially by men.
So anything practical and useful, that could be an air tag in an air tag little case for it.
So useful, so practical.
An electric screwdriver.
Again, it's the perfect useful.
gift. Let's be real, every man loves a good hot sauce, a truffle oil. You can get them a nice
high-quality chess board. Another really great idea is you can get someone a watch case. I got my dad a
cute case for his watches and it's perfect because it just is nice and easy to use and it's
going to be fun for them to get out now every single time they get out their watch. Another great
idea is a toss holder. So these things sit on a bedside table and you can get the
leather one and it's basically like almost like a little cup for them to just toss their keys in toss their watchin their rings in whatever it is but it's easy just to have and accessible so it's kind of like a toss all holder another good idea is a new cologne there's so many great ones out there you can get them a stanley mug for their coffee every morning a japanese knife set is so appreciated by anyone honestly any person who has a home and a kitchen
would love a Japanese knife set because it's going to make cooking so much easier and it just is a really
great gift to receive. Another great one is a portable speaker because every person loves to play
music where they go, whether it's in their garage or on the go. So a portable speaker is super nice.
If the man in your life is a little classier, then you can get them the Ralph Lauren men's
coffee table book. I think it's so nice and so pretty to have on a bedside table. Another great one is just
A mug. You can get them a mug that has something that they love about it. I got my grandpa because he loves
airplanes. I got him a mug with all these different types of aircrafts on it. You can get someone a good
puzzle specifically. I think the brand is the New Yorker. They have really nice high quality puzzles
that have great prints. Of course, this is a classic. But you could get someone in your life a gift card
to their favorite store, a place that you know they love to go. And it's great.
because it's personal, you're picking out a place that they love. And if your person that you're
giving likes to be cozy and comfortable, get them a monogrammed plaid Ralph Lauren PJ set. I think it looks
so nice and it just is the perfect gift to receive. Because let's be honest, what guy is going out of their
way to buy themselves pajamas? Not really. So you have to always give that as the gift. And lastly,
as I mentioned for the girls as well is a portable charger. One of the most useful gifts
and so nice to have on hand.
I know all this was a very item overload,
but I want you to remember that it's really the thought that counts.
And if you don't have a lot of money to spend,
do not worry because gifting something such as a really heartfelt card
can be so much more meaningful and so much more exciting
than even a store-bought item, and I promise you that.
So do not worry, it's the thought that counts.
And honestly, the holidays are not about the gifts.
I know it can feel caught up about that and all the consumption and all the items being thrown out there.
And don't get me wrong.
I love things and I love items and I love gifting items.
So I want you just to remember, though, that the holidays are all about enjoying the holidays and not stressing about the gifts.
And it's not supposed to be about anything but being with your loved ones.
And just having the presence of others is the best gift that you could ever receive.
I love you so much and I hope you enjoyed this episode.
as much as I did recording it.
The holidays are supposed to be special
and I hope you're enjoying them so much
because it is truly just the best time of the season.
A huge thank you to you again
for all my listeners, especially for after seeing the Spotify wrapped,
it just made my day and I am so beyond grateful
for all your support.
