Or is it Shoe-Santa? I can’t tell. But I would like to figure out a way to drop subtle hints to my significant other as to what my heart really wants this coming gift season.

So, should I leave my computer open for him to see these UGGs?

Hey, they’re practical, comfortable, and perfect for that vacation in Aspen I’ve been planning. The Ugg Rina Ribbon Boot is $225 at Neiman Marcus. Ok, I lied–I haven’t been planning a vacation in Aspen, but if I have these boots, I might!

Or maybe he’s going to figure out a certain designer is on my mind because of my numerous Freudian slips? (”Mmm, these pradines are delicious!”). And maybe this will come to mind:

Prada suede riding boots, just a tad under $1000 at Neiman’s.

Or maybe…I should keep complaining I got nothing festive to wear for when we go over to his parents for Christmas? Something nice and cute and…red? Like these unusually low Louboutins:


The Christian Louboutin “Tirelire” red patent ballerinas are $685 at Saks.

Or maybe I should just be upfront and say, “Honey, all I want for Christmas is a pair of Manolos?”

I’m sure he’ll understand!

How do you manage to drop those shoe-hints to your significant other?
