Susan in TN Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) New bath towels for the bathrooms. (Our towels are all 20 years old now - wedding gifts :)) Some nifty way to store the towels, since we don't have linen closets and I hate how they always just get shoved in the vanity cabinet. I once saw a wine rack being used for rolled towels. That was kind of neat. Oh, and also a decent quality compact digital camera for travel next summer.

Jewelry is nice too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 New wedding bands. We pawned ours a while ago, desperate for money, and dh ended up being unable to make 2 of the repayments so they were sold. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom4him Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Nothing. My dh and I haven't exchanged gifts for the last couple of years. I will get something from our drawn names and exchange of the adults in our extended family but that will be it. I really would rather have the money to spend on the kids gifts and that is what we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A few crazy things (because I have all the non-crazy stuff). I'd like a funny looking garden gnome, a gift certificate to Michaels or JoAnn's, the promise of a trip to the ocean when it gets steaming hot again next summer, more beeswax candles and last but not least a generous cup of coffee with an even more generous amount of whipping cream. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 We need good sheets too - ones that don't slide off the corners of the bed each night. Any recommendations for good sheets?

specialmama Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A couple books by Charles Swindoll (Flying Closer to the Flame and Living Above the Level of Mediocrity.)

Rosie_0801 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Mum decided the other week that she's donating to charity instead of buying gifts for her kids, which is a real bummer. I was hoping she'd make me some new shopping bags! Frivolous purchases from my Amazon wishlist would be just dandy, but I really need some new shopping bags and can't be bothered to make them myself. Anyhow, I'm still busy sewing Mum's Christmas present. :rolleyes: Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I don't have a clue. Last year, dh bought me a beautiful Pandora bracelet almost filled with charms. I guess he will get a few more this year. I truly love just watching everyone else open their gifts; me? I like to shop throughout the year and pick up what I like when i see it -- THAT is a gift as far as I am concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaAkins Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 -Socks...good quality, neutral colored socks. -A new pair of Merrell shoes...brown clogs for everyday use. Mine are completely worn out after 4 years of near constant use. -Kitchen towels....my dishtowels are old, worn and kind of nasty! -A good quality oven mitt (or two)....mine have seen their better days! -a small crockpot for making dips or warming potpourri. I'd *love* to have an Ipod touch, but that's more of a "wish" list item, not something I think will happen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I usually don't ask for big items but this year I've asked for an IPad 2. I use my phone SO MUCH on SO MANY different things (Droid) and having the larger pad will be so helpful. I love that I can just slip it into my purse. Not to mention all the threads here and all that people use it for their school totally sold me on this. :001_smile: Although it will be mine, I certainly won't be the only one using it.

Desert Rat Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 A dock with speakers for my ipod. We do a gift exchange with my family, so that's what I'm asking for. My new dishwasher (see my other thread) will be a combination of our anniversary next week and Christmas gifts. I really, really wanted a new wedding ring set. I just have a band and we have enough scrap jewelry to make a nice diamond band to go with it. Maybe next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPan Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Nothing affordable, hehe: anniversary band new dSLR ipad (actually, I'm saving up for this myself, want to wait for the ipad3) new fluffy towels for my bath (I guess those would be affordable, I may treat myself) fuzzy socks that fit (I have big feet) Then way back in the Land of Dream I have this idea of wanting a new Bernina.

QueenCat Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Dh keeps asking me for a list, I keep stalling.... We've talked about upgrading our Blu-ray to one with streaming and dvr capabilities.

MeaganS Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm having the hardest time. Not to brag, but I'm a really good gift giver, but I'm horrible at picking out gifts for myself or even giving my poor husband any direction. That, and most of the stuff I want are for my kids anyways. I have a bunch of things I would enjoy, but I'm not sure that I want them enough to justify the cost. I have a few books and movies that I'd like, but really nothing important that I can think of. If someone were to hand me a $1000 and say I had to spend it in the next hour on at least 3 different items only for me, I'd get: Zojirushi 2-lb bread machine Kindle Fire My wishlist of books Bluray player with the ability to stream Amazon and Netflix A video camera of some sort As for what I'm actually going to get? No idea. My dear MIL and my husband's grandparents always give us cash for Christmas and my birthday (which is also in December) and we use it as our "personal" budgets for the year. Last year I used mine to buy a Kindle and go to the homeschooling convention in Memphis. This year? Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
