I know it's early to be thinking about this but my dad texted us and asked for our Christmas lists (!!!) and I have no idea what I want. It's our last Christmas before baby is born and I was thinking maybe a Kindle Paper white for those late night feedings.
Share what you want for Christmas!

Yessss get a paperwhite. I am reading like 3 books/week right now with all the rocking! (and the selection btw? so obsessed.)
My mom started bugging me for a list last week too and I have no idea. Of course I'm more concerned with figuring out what to put on Fia's list! But for myself I'm thinking maybe beauty-type stuff? I haven't had much time or money to spend on how I look lately and it would be nice to have some cushy products I can use at home to feel like I"m making an effort.

New chair and fun gift cards that I can't use for the kids.

Debbie Downer central - for my husband to find a job. Whomp whomp.

My mom asked for a list last week! Gah!
I want an Olloclip, though (http://www.olloclip.com/).
No idea what DH wants.
E is "asking" for an indoor playground like this. Whatever my mom wants to get her is fine, i said.

Diapers! DD is due early Dec so it's gonna be all about her! I'll take diapers, wipes, formula (if BF doesn't work out), etc!

I was just thinking about this on the way into work today. I feel pretty boring but I want a dust buster, a larger cooler for parties, a subscription to The Week and an extra large LL Bean Tote. I also sort of want a new laptop, but think I may wait another year because ours isn't that old.

I want Jan Karon's new book and a book about pie making. We've sunk so much money into our new house I feel like that is my Christmas present. Getting the pink walls, trim, ceiling and grout painted - PRICELESS!

Tablet (Galaxy Tab S) and jewelery (rings specifically, tanzanite or morganite more specifically :-D)

Besides getting my son home...? 
Crossfit clothes, lifting shoes, frye boots, food processor, slow cooker, blender.

Mainly this woven wrap. Babywearing art... literally. And this is my favorite Van Gogh.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and it's awesome!! I use it every single day.
I want a flash for my camera.

I want a better case for my phone since I drop this thing 500 times per day! Also, a fit bit and a woven wrap. And tiny hunter boots for my kids for spring.

A kindle--good idea for nursing late at night!
I'm thinking I just want gift cards. If price was no object, I would love a new mattress and biweekly maid service!

Well all our holiday money will go to our maternity leave savings account but I want a new rug for my living room and a bench in my entryway. All house stuff right now.

@blackbird: I have the olloclip! It's great!
I want a kindle and a macro lens!

A fitbit (or equivelent), lululemon gift card, a new camera lens.

An iPhone upgrade so that I have more storage. Right now I can't fit any apps on my iPhone but Instagram because I have so many damn pictures and I don't know what to do to transfer them to my 100 year old slow as molasses laptop. Ugh.
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
@MrsMccarthy: I have the SAME problem! Ugh. I need to photo dump BIG TIME but I also don't want to not have access to them all. Sigh. I have a 32G so, really, that is just pathetic

@Mae: OMG! I know right so good!
@mediagirl: I'll be crossing my fingers he gets a job soon!
@hotchildinthecity: I hope he's here for Christmas! Best Christmas gift ever
@Arden: that is gorgeous!
@twodoghouse: ooo, a fit bit is a great idea!

i am asking for a photo package from my parents. i really want a maternity/newborn/baby plan package... i'm sure our parents are gonna go nuts and buy exclusively baby stuff for us for christmas.
from DH, i'm asking for a kobo (i think it's a canadian/Chapters version of kindle). i had one but it died this year and i desperately need one for vacations!

@MrsMccarthy: @blackbird: I have the same issue. I uploaded my photos to a Shutterfly gallery that is private. I can still access them through the Shutterfly app on my phone!

M & I don't exchange gifts. I'm thinking a gym membership to the YMCA from my parents, they have a pool.

I'm asking my mom for a Starbucks gift card and money to put towards EA related expenses.

I want new clothes. I have very little that fits properly. So I guess I will be asking for a lot of clothing store gift cards. My old standby is Barnes and noble gift cards.

We already bought our yearly (birthdays, anniversary, christmas) gift (leather sectional) but we usually do a little gift on Christmas anyway, in the stocking... I'd love a Fresh Sugar lip balm!

@blackbird: I'm glad I'm not alone in the electronic pack rat realm. Mine is only 16g but I have no doubt I would and will fill up any amount of space I'm given. My plan ping forward is to dump a bunch into shutterfly app. I may have to temporarily delete Instagram so I can do so before an upgrade. I too though love just having them to look at and it hurts to delete any.
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
@sunshineandsushi: great idea! Do you have to pay over a certain amount? i bet it would take me days to get 2,000+ photos off my phone
honeydew / 7295 posts
@blackbird: @sunshineandsushi: I'm glad I'm not alone in the electronic pack rat realm. I may have to temporarily delete Instagram so that I can upload shutterfly app again and do the same. It's such a pain. My phone is 16g but I have no doubt I would use up any amount of space and I hate deleting pictures of my loved ones. I love having them on hand.

I want a ring with DS and DD birthstones in it. For DS, probably a mini trampoline and maybe a better play kitchen.
nectarine / 2242 posts
I feel like I get more boring / practical every year! I would love a new straightener (mine takes forever to heat up and doesn't get hot enough) and a pasta strainer. Thrilling, yes!
persimmon / 1165 posts
@blackbird: @MrsMccarthy: Hmm, I'm not sure! I've dumped more than 500 photos and it hasn't given me a problem yet. I have a 16gb phone as well. I didn't realize I'd have these issues with the storage!
hostess / cantaloupe / 6486 posts
@Arden: yes! My mom used to give me a 50 dollar Sephora gift card every year & I always knew exactly what I would buy with it & then we had LO & that (understandably) stopped. DH NEVER gets me a gift card & honestly that's all I ever really want since I'll never spend the money there otherwise.
hostess / cantaloupe / 6486 posts
@bushelandapeck: my parents got LO a mini trampoline for her birthday & she freaking loves it!

@MrsMccarthy: My DH and I got our own family gmail account. From there, we store all of our photos on Picasa, upload them to Google Photos, and delete the pics off of our phones. Now, all of our family pics as well as cell phone pics & videos are all in one place. It was a bit of a pain to do, but we're finally on the same page about pictures. He can see my cell pics finally. I can see and send his, etc.

For Christmas, I really don't want anything. If anything, giftcards to Target or Old Navy would be enough for me.
