Nothing makes you sound like a greedy-pants, so you're good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-658747 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 17:47:30 +0000 MrsH 658747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: oh I didn't know Sophie k. had a new book out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656832 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:40:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 656832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that is a very good list, nothing crazy but plenty of ideas for several different family members! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656807 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:29:24 +0000 MaisyMay 656807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: When you get a chance, crack it open. She juxtaposes the past and the present, examining how the decisions made before us have the potential to influence our lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656603 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 06:25:06 +0000 MrsSCB 656603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Yeah, I had to actually send my own this year because DH sent his without mine, and I felt so awkward being like, "Hello, in-laws, please purchase me these gifts!" haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656530 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:02:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 656530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds very reasonable to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656527 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:59:05 +0000 Sweet T 656527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I have that one but haven't read it yet. I've heard several people say the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656515 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:35:15 +0000 MaisyMay 656515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: Her one on eugenics was creepy and intense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-656514 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 00:34:57 +0000 MaisyMay 656514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: That's how his family is. When we were engaged I was asked for a Christmas list and literally had NO idea what to ask for. I've gotten better now, but usually I just tell him. I'm not trusting his memory this time though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-655748 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 17:26:42 +0000 Sweet T 655748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Will do! She is probably my favorite author. I love that she chooses such controversial topics to write about. Her books always keep me busy! I can't put them down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654544 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:31:23 +0000 MrsSCB 654544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks great! My DH's family is very much like this -- they make lists for every present-giving holiday and circulate them around the family. It took me some getting used to because my family does not really do gift-giving like that at all, and I felt kind of weird making a list and specifically asking for things from his family, but it seems to work pretty well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654457 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:14:46 +0000 mediagirl 654457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like a good list to me. Maybe you could use Amazon wishlist and just point him there so he can see the things? My husband prefers to shop online so, he loves my amazon list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654408 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 11:05:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 654408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One other thing I love on birthday lists is fun beauty supplies that I wouldn't normally buy myself. Things like nail polish, fancy shampoo, tanning lotion, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654229 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 10:22:03 +0000 MaisyMay 654229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: I figure somebody might by the bags and bra together. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654032 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:26:42 +0000 Cole 654032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a mom yet but I think even when we get there I would be totally bummed to unwrap milk storage bags :-) The bra wouldn't bother me since it is something I might otherwise have a hard time justifying but I would take the bags off. Otherwise I think it looks like a great list! </p> <p>Happy almost birthday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-654008 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:22:40 +0000 autumnlove 654008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653992 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:18:51 +0000 sorrycharlie 653992@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's an awesome list! I would LOVE if my husband gave me a list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653929 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:03:01 +0000 PastaAndPotato 653929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think its a great list, not outrageous at all - and nothing on it is extraordinarily hard to find or get, so thats a good thing too! would love if some of my family and friends would make lists like this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653900 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:53:55 +0000 CottonCandy 653900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's a great idea to give him a list! That way he can choose what to get you and know that now matter which gift of gifts he gets, you will like it! I always email my DH "ideas" of what to get me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653891 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 08:49:55 +0000 MaisyMay 653891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sweet T: Tell me how it is when you've read some! She's a very good author, chooses some intriguing topics. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653526 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:12:08 +0000 Sweet T 653526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it sounds great! My birthday is coming up soon and I'm having the same problem with giving people ideas. Oh well.</p> <p>I did get Jodi Picoult's new book as an early gift and just started it today. I'm so excited to read it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653523 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 03:10:32 +0000 Bao 653523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they are all very reasonable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653506 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:51:51 +0000 Ree723 653506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds great - a good selection of gifts that are reasonably priced and easy to get! Definitely appreciate getting a wish list like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653502 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 01:42:02 +0000 JerricaBenton 653502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds good to me! Definitely nothing outrageous. I always give my husband a list of gift ideas. Then he can pick what he wants and tell anyone who asks about something else on the list. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-reasonable#post-653482 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:41:50 +0000 MaisyMay 653482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always gets asked what I want for my birthday, and I have a hard time providing him with ideas. It's his parents and sister who ask. Plus he's usually unsure what to get me. This year I thought I'd send him a list.<br /> Does this sound unreasonable? I wouldn't expect everything, maybe just a few things or to use this as a springboard?<br /> ~Jodi Piccoult's new book<br /> ~Karen Kingsbury's new book<br /> ~Sophie Kinsella's new book<br /> ~Medela hand's free pumping bra XXL (only from you, not from others!!!)<br /> ~Dessert tray - similar to this, but doesn't have to be this <a href="http://www.amazon.com/CreativeWare-CAK-TWR-3-Tier-Serving-Tower/dp/B004W4JGLO/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1363757526&#038;sr=1-5&#038;keywords=dessert+tray" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/CreativeWare-CAK-TWR-3-Tier-Serving-Tower/dp/B004W4JGLO/ref=sr_1_5?s=home-garden&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1363757526&#038;sr=1-5&#038;keywords=dessert+tray</a><br /> ~Milk storage bags - prefer Lasinoh or Medela<br /> ~12 pack capacity soft-side cooler bag - for transporting milk and pumping parts<br /> ~Any cooking knives or stainless steel cookware - preferably frying pan, saute pan with lid, or 3-quart pan with lid<br /> ~Any gift certificates for dinner out or baby-sitting (baby-sitting with dinner out is even better!) </p>
