Shake Shack - Holiday Ornament

I was very happy to see that Shake Shack offered a new Christmas ornament back in December, but this one took a little more work to get my hands on one.  In the same process as previous years, you could either buy the ornament separately, or get a free ornament with a $25+ gift card purchase. 

Long story short - the Shake Shack location I went to said they did not have ornaments/never received ornaments to sell, and gave me the "sample" ornament on their tree while insisting that it was not the "official" 2015 ornament, haha.  I was just happy to get the ornament after talking to a few people and waiting around, and yes, this penguin indeed was the official ornament that was also featured on their website.  I also love how Shake Shack has a holiday-themed design for their to-go bags and cups over the holidays - the little penguins are super cute!  I look forward to seeing what they offer for the holidays in 2016!

2016 Calendars + Planners

I am a big fan of calendars and planners, and it's always fun to see all the new designs and themes that I can find in various stores at the end of the year.  I was so excited for a new collection of SugarPaper planners and calendars to come out at Target in December, and they are all super cute! I love the pale pink, gold, and black themes and it was very difficult to choose only a few.  In addition to the ones above I also got a pink notepad that has the same cover as the small planner in my photo - almost too pretty to use!

While I was in Japan back in September, I also picked up a Rilakkuma desk calendar and love seeing the cute pictures every day.  It's the perfect size for a desk calendar and the perfect amount of daily cuteness :o)
