justLisa Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I know I'm getting digital SLR from DH. Other than that I have a few books and sewing supplies. My parents usually get me something rather pricey and a few other things. And my mom takes the kids shopping for me and they pick me out random cooking/sewing things. Those are my favorites. I don't make much of a list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghee Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I'd like a book or two (or maybe just money to buy some Kindle books..) I *need* new pj's (especially now that I live in mine LOL) I *want* a new Kindle HD (because I love gadgets, and it would be easier to haul around than my iPad or I could still read a Kindle book while my kids use the iPad instead of either/or) I also found some homeschool-y type things at Costco that I'd love to have. Oh, and a foot massager thing at Costco.....I could probably manage to lump that into the homeschool-y category.....somehow ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 A tea bag box. I'm trying to find a larger plastic one since all the wood ones are around 12 x 12 inches, while the plastic one is 8 x 5 inches. This journal book. Long sleeve t-shirts from CafePress including: Hunger Games "The book was better" "I'm not insane, my mother had me tested" "Hard core homeschool mom" I'll probably get mostly gift cards. Probably for Barnes & Noble, which I definitely won't hate. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelingChris Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I want a freezer, and it can be used. I also want grow lights and a lighting system so I can start plants easier and also so my sunroom plants get enough light in the winter. (I grow mostly ornamentals though having some indoor herbs would be nice). I have a birthday soon after in January so I always have to come up with lots of ideas. Those are my big requests. Smaller ones are some CDs and some kitchen items like the new Oven mitts that are really, really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the4Rs Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I would love to get: the verification before Christmas that the kids we hope to adopt are indeed found to be adoptable so we can actually begin the process.

Kari C in SC Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) An ipad 2. Actually, I already got it off of ebay, but it is hidden in my closet till Christmas. Dd is getting my very gently used kindle fire as her present so my ipad needs to remain hidden. Ds is getting his big brother's xbox that we have had since the army sent his things home. He knows it is his brother's, but has anxiously been waiting to hopefully get it some day. We thought he was too young for it before. Since that covered the majority of cost for presents, dh told me to reward myself with the ipad.

I also asked specific children for the following: handmade hairsticks, homemade loaves (preferably pumpkin or persimmon), a private piano concert, personalized notecards, and a foot massage.

fraidycat Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 While there are several things on my wishlist at all times, like good pots and pans, speakers for my iPod, clothes, etc. I don't really wish for any of them for Christmas this year. Next weekend we are traveling out of state to visit my good friend from back home while she is on vacation, and I am ecstatic that my parents and sister are coming to visit at Christmas time and we will be doing "touristy" things with them, so the expense of that will be my Christmas gift. IMO, that is better than anything that could be wrapped in paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
