In my fantasies, a Celine or Chanel handbag.
In reality, I need a new camera that has wifi. A small one that I can carry around. But I could also use a new dslr as mine is quite old and the most basic model. As long as I'm talking about cameras, I need some lenses too. It's a work expense though!
What's on your splurge list?

Also lenses! And a whole bunch of furniture that we can't afford right now.

A big bed as soon as we move. We've always wanted a king but it wouldn't fit. And a big comfy couch

Getting our front yard landscaped. Our lawn needs to be ripped out replanted (rotatiller, planting, tagro, fertilize, etc.) and bark spread in all of our beds.
We've never paid anyone to help in the yard before but we are hiring someone to do it next month because we just don't have the capacity.

nothing for me. 
But I have my eye on 2 pieces of art (one for DH's office and the other for a large wall on our main floor).
And a wall storage system from PBK for the kids' playroom,

Just got a DSLR and prime lens for my birthday (this weekend)
But the next big purchase will be a new MacBook. Basically to handle all of the photos that will happen when LO arrives

@lovehoneybee: my friend just gave me her never-used Kitchenaid and I'm excited to try it!
I have my eye on dining end chairs from Restoration Hardware to complete our dining room.

Seeing as how my dh just got his (classic early Bronco that he's restoring) last weekend, I bought a Vitamix and if he decides to keep this Bronco then he has to match the cost in horses 
I think he'll be selling it.
Realistically - 3 new tv's and a bedroom set for the girls.

We just bought a house and will be painting the interior and cabinets as budgeted, but I really want to paint the exterior at the same time! And redo the bathrooms now instead of waiting!

This couch with down fill in the 46" depth, and 8 feet length. It is out of the budget right now though

@Mrs. Bee: I'm with you on the Celine handbag! My husband keeps telling me to just get one already, but I just did NOT grow up spending that kind of money so the thought of it makes my palms sweat something fierce. I just can't bring myself to do it. I would also really like the Chanel espadrille flats but again - lots of money for something that will just get smelly and dirty. And I don't know if they are actually comfortable. And they never go on sale and I really only shop sales
I would really like a new watch. I have one of those oversized gold watches from several years ago (nothing fancy) but I really want a more demure silver watch. I'm still trying to decide what to get myself for mothers day (my husband never buys gifts, just tells me to pick something) so maybe that'll be it.

@Mama Bird: I have a piano on my mind too. I am thinking about finding one on craigslist and having it moved and tuned, if I can find one that's in okay shape. Would love to get a baby grand, it is going into my wish list for the next couple of years.

New lenses for my camera. And a new wardrobe. And new furniture. For, like, the whole house.

A new Louis Vuitton handbag.
@SweetiePie: I had trouble spending alot on handbags at first too until I finally bit the bullet and bought my first one a few years back. What I've discovered is that I can use the bags for awhile and then when I want a new one, I sell the older ones and get a really decent amount of money back. Popular designers have excellent resale value. I have actually made money on some of mine. Whereas with cheaper bags, I would usually just donate them. Just something to keep in mind...

Fantasy? A weeklong, child free cruise with DH!

@mediagirl: it's beautiful! Are you looking for fun or are y'all actually moving?
I want a king tempurpedic, but I'll probably settle on a queen. And, a tattoo!

@photojane: we're actually moving. Not sure when yet but our market for selling our house is hot right now. We just have to figure out if we're going north or west in our county.
Get the King Tempurpedic bed. Best money we ever spent.

A trip to Bermuda for our 10th anniversary! We are ready to book but I have promised myself I wouldn't book until we pay off our credit card balance... a couple of months away!!

I just got a chanel handbag ... it's been too long since I splurged.
For a camera, I find myself reaching for my dslr less and less since it's bulky and I've been using the samsun nx mini with both lenses more and more. Plus it has wifi! And video is pretty amazing on it too.
My next splurge for the house will be a new sectional for arhaus and a splurge just for me will be a new camera lens.
