Need inspiration for my Christmas list! What's on yours?
-
@travellingbee: Not very inspiring, but I want to get my car fixed. There are lots of scratches on it I just haven't had the money to repair yet!
Otherwise I have always wanted slippers from LL Bean so those are on the list. And I asked DW to find us a scotch tasting!
-
We asked for contributions to a bsbymoon/anniversary getaway we are taking screw days after Christmas. It was kind of a relief, because I never know what to tell people!
-
@wrkbrk: actually your scotch tasting reminded me there is a port from a winery we visited a couple of years ago that I want! Added to the list!
-
Here's my wish list:
A new iPhone/case, a European rolling pin, upgraded color pencils, Jackson Vaughn's Houston candle, a new straightener, JCrew/Gap gift cards and a babysitting IOU from my folks -
I usually ask for a refill on my makeup stuff from family. A new foundation, blush, mascara, make up brushes. Possibly another tub of Kiehls ultra facial cream. I usually also ask for new pajama pants and moccasins to wear under my desk at work when it's cold.
Right now our big push is to finish paying off my student loans before the end of the year so we probably aren't going to do much for each other. If we do anything I think we are just going to gift each other the sectional we've been talking about buying or replace one of the kitchen appliances (we are slowly replacing the old suite). We tend to be low key about gifts to each other.
-
My mom always asks what I want and I never know what to say. I actually think I might ask for a new blow dryer. Lame but practical. DH and I aren't doing gifts because we're going on vacation instead
-
I would like some kind of initial jewelry for the kids, but I might wait and ask for my birthday, after little miss is here. And some nice nursing pajamas.
-
So far on my list is: a new vacuum, a knife sharpener, pajamas and slippers. Probably will add some clothes, shoes, makeup. I'd also love some money to go towards a vacation, but my family likes to give items, not money.
-
This!!
-
@youboots: pretty!
-
I want a new kitchen sink - ours is so stupid, and it drives me crazy. Also, I might be asking for a diaper bag if I don't get that sorted out before LO arrives at the beginning of the month.
-
Really want new clothes and shoes for work since I go back Jan. 4 after mat leave!
-
Clarisonic, digital camera class, massage/mani/pedi gift cards, auto detail
-
I want some white low converses, a gift card to Soma for some new bras that actually fit, and a gift certificate for a massage!
-
I have no clue! I really want a second eternity band so I told my husband that can be a combined Xmas/push present. We'll see
-
Folding rocking chair for the camper
Anne Kiel necklace with DD's initial and birthstone
12 different bottles of beer that don't have the word "hop" in their name -
New stand mixer! I'm HARD on mine, and it's really too small for making lots of cookies and royal icing. Plus the one I want is so pretty!
-
Waffle maker, mixer attachments, silpat... Basically all the cooking stuff we didn't have space for in our apartment!
-
New jeans, a black cardigan, some new SilPats for baking. We're getting an ottoman that we wanted from my parents.
If DH and I were exchanging gifts, I'd ask for some Staedtler markers and a new watch. -
I want a new drip coffee maker - like a really good one! Also some nice new pajama, Laura Mercier face primer. That's all I've got so far!
-
If I don't have a new (to me) car by then I definitely want one for Christmas. We've already agreed to buy and agreed on several models but DH always has an excuse to wait.
-
I would love to take an evening or weekend photography course at a local community college. It's not going to happen next semester since I will have DD#2 in January but hopefully I can make this happen for later on in year of 2016.
-
- A lightweight, touchscreen laptop or maybe a full-size tablet with a click-in keyboard.
- An full-size electric griddle.
- Patio furniture (yep already thinking ahead to spring)
- New cabinets / refacing but they came new with the house 2 years ago so "if it aint broke, don't fix it"... I just don't like the color
- Cute maternity/nursing tops like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009YQYD04/ref=twister_B009YR19NW
- Belgian waffle maker (just a maybe on this..... I usually don't like big, single function kitchen appliances I only will use 1-2 times a week) -
@travellingbee: one million dollars!!! Too much to ask?
-
Clarisonic MIA.. That's what I came up with so far, haha.
-
@wrkbrk: I just picked out LLBean slippers for my mom to get me!
DH had mentioned maybe ugg slippers, but the llbean ones are cheaper and I know they're just as nice. My dad always had a pair.
-
Sonicare toothbrush
Suede pot holders
Rolling pin with guide -
Miraqueen curling iron, recipe journal, LL bean boots and Sanuk yoga sandals
-
I want a 23andme gene test thingy.
And - a Phillips Sonicare Diamond Clean toothbrush
And - new GHDsBut as we don't buy each other Christmas presents I may have to treat myself!
-
For my other house to sell.
-
@snowjewelz: This was on my Christmas list two years ago and has been totally worth it. One of those things I wouldn't have bought for myself but love having.
-
an automatic car starter
-
@erinbaderin: exactly! there was a half off coupon the other day but I still couldn't just get it!
-
ahh! so many things. we're moving into a new house just before Christmas, so sooo much of it will be home goods! new towel sets, some mats/rugs, bedding. But the one "me" thing that I want is Sorel winter boots.
-
A vacation! Preferably someplace warm. With a beach.
-
Gift cards to HomeSense or anywhere that sells picture frames and throw cushions
A new hair straighter and curling iron
Gift Cards for makeup
itunes gift cards
socks
Gift cards to Victoria Secret
"The Girl on the Train"
Some clothing or gift cards for clothingMy list seems so boring but this is honestly my life...
-
I don't even know yet. I know what I want for my 10 year anniversary in 2017 though (a KitchenAid stand mixer).
-
@buttermilk: Any idea what kind of coffee maker you want? I was just about to start researching the best brands to add to my list as well! Our current one is the $15 Mr Coffee from Target. LOL.
-
We don't exchange holiday or birthday gifts. At some point in the next five years or so I would like a really nice watch but I don't necessarily expect this to be the year, and it doesn't have to be linked to a holiday or special occasion.
