What are somethings you have your eye on for yourself this year?
It's about that time when my family starts asking for gift ideas for everyone and I need some inspiration. Ideas should be under $100.
All I can think of is baby stuff (I'm due with #2 in April), but that isn't really stuff for "me."
I'm thinking maybe some sweaters and a gift certificate for a massage...
What's on your list?

For me, I want a new zip up fleece. Ooh exciting. And tons of stuff for the new house but mostly over $100- table and chairs, sectional couch and rug for family room...so gift cards towards those I guess.

Cleaning service to come and clean my house! Most have gift certificates, so that could work. Also, gift certificates for meal prep services like hello fresh, blue apron, etc.
And both of those would help with baby's arrival!

New comforter set and picture frames for a gallery wall I want to do!

Top-to-bottom deep cleaning service for the house! I told my husband all I want is that and the stamped name rings I've had my eye on since A was born. Oh, and the new Skinnytaste cookbook.

My list currently includes stuff for baby #2 also. 
I've been adding to my list on pinterest lately... a couple new frying pans, a Pink sweatshirt/sweatpants (thinking comfy clothes for maternity leave), some plaid button down shirts (also easy for bf'ing), a new blanket scarf, new purse/diaper bag, cardigan, new bath towels, and new boots.

@MissLace: My baby!! I'm due December 29 
A couple years ago I asked for a spa certificate, and that was lovely! I'm going to ask for that again.
I also have my eye on a lululemon wrap/scarf I would like.
There's a bedding set I want too, but it's not really for 'me'.
I'm starting to make my list now.
@Mrs. Microscope: I would lovvveee a cleaning service!

I have this trouble too (and have for the past few years). All I really want are new pillows and the ones I like are like $10 from Target.

All I want is gift cards that I can use toward things for our new house - so basically Home Depot, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. I seriously don't want anything else. DH's parents always give us a bunch of useless crap so I'm realllllly hoping I can convince them not to spend money on anything besides a gift card.

My parents insist on giving me something, so I like to have something to give to them as an idea. This year, I am asking for an Artis makeup brush.

A baby! Haha. I want some house and kitchen supplies-boring stuff, but necessities. Utensils, potty seats, pans.

Gift certificate for a massage
New duvet set I've been eyeing but not sure that's a gift...
Kind of thinking about a new iPad as a joint Xmas/bday gift. Mine is 3 years old now.

I want a new tablet! The a refurbished one a couple years ago but it's basically broken.

A lighted vest for running, some fabric, and some new running tights. All of my tights and capris are getting holes in them.

I want an ice cream maker to make non-dairy ice cream. GCs to a local tea shop would be nice.

Spa day...massage, pedicure & wine!
A really awesome book to read.
I will be gifted none of this.

Gift cards to eat out. Although my grandparents always get me gift cards to places 40+ minutes away....
Servingware. Not fancy buffet/dip type things, but just large bowls, plates, and utensils.
A membership to our nearby rec center or kindle unlimited.

Lots and lots of Kindle books
A new dry-weather light jacket
Boots(for work/fashion/rain/everyday, can never have enough boots)
Cardigans
If there's really no "stuff" you want, you can always ask for experience gifts. This year my mom requested that instead of a physical gift, I take her out to lunch and a shopping date. That kind of thing is fun.

Well, this doesn't help you but all I want is a cargo bike so I've requested my husband tell people that they can contribute to that fund as my joint Christmas and birthday gift as it's spendy!
