Hey guys! So, its that time of year once again! Where I do my Holiday Gift Guide, of cool stuff that I am hoping for this year, and maybe it will inspire you as well!

So let's get started!

First things first: Fitness. I have been needing some proper workout gear forever. So I decided to go to my favourite place for that kind of thing, Swim Outlet. com. Don't be fooled by the name though, they have tons of awesome stuff. From fitness gear, to fitness clothing, accessories, to casual clothes, it really is a pretty cool one stop shop for all your fitness needs. This year I am coveting:

The Lole Women's Run Capril, link here, and the Oiselle Women's Lesko Running Bra, link here.

Very cute right!

Also, the Fitbit is still on my coveted Christmas gift list:

I would honestly love an organizer as well. Maybe like this one:

Cozy pajamas are always a Christmas list item, every year:

It's also a possibility that I asked for this this year as well:

I'm such a sentimental son of a gun.

What ever I get or don't get for the holidays, I'm really just happy with having my family here to enjoy the season with, and lovely people around me that make me happy. I am a lucky girl and I know it.

What are some of your coveted items this holiday season?

*This is a sponsored post. The company who sponsored it compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to write it. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The thing I am coveting right now:

These handmade leather boots from Gipsy Dharma. How whimsical are these boots? I would feel like a fairy princess prancing through the forest in these lovelies. Or a Khaleesi. Either one I'll take. These boots are gorgeous (and did I mention handmade?). I'm in love. Plus, they giveaway a free pair of boots every week! Say what? Go here to check out that awesomeness. I did!

These would look so good over a pair of skinny jeans or leggings. Or with one of her beautiful skirts!

Check out www.gipsydharma.com for more details.

I don't know if you guys know this about me, but I am ALLLL about keeping fit in fun ways. My number one way to do that? Walking. Dave and I will choose a destination in the city, one we have never been to before, and we will EXPLORE. Just that word conjures up such a sense of adventure for me that I am getting excited about what I am about to tell you!

GPSmyCity.com asked me if I would collaborate with them on a fun giveaway, and after doing a bit of research, and checking out their iPhone app myself, I was hooked!!

GPSmyCity is all about self-guided walking tours of over 470 cities worldwide. Sometimes you don't need a tour guide when you visit a new city, you just need to know where to go to create your own experience. The best part is that once you have the app, it works offline so that you aren't charged any ridiculous roaming fees while in other countries.

Check out these awesome screenshots:

Doesn't it look fun? And EASY!! I love the way this app looks and reads. They even have audio!

What could you win, you ask? You could win your choice of THREE GPSmycity.com iPhone applications! All you have to do is copy and paste the quiz below into an email message, answer the quiz questions, and send to quiz@gpsmycity.com. They will take care of the rest!

Pretty cool huh? An amazing way to discover brand new cities throughout the world...or fall in love again with your own.

Come on!!! Do a little research...what else are you doing right now?? (Hint...Google is GREAT at answering questions)
