-M- Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I received my gift early: I know. It's *delicious.* Holds my books, the iPad, personal items, wallet, camera... it's *wonderful.* Miss M-mv(i) is creating "My Ideal Bookshelf" (related entries here and here), and Miss M-mv(ii) is baking me the Andes Mint cake (which I will share, of course). All of that coupled with the adventures we have planned for the long winter break? A very nice Christmas, indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Secretly, I want an iPad 4 and an iPhone 5. We can't really afford the iPhone, and the iPad is WAY out of reach. So I'm going to ask for a new Bible, some games, and Harry Potter DVDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujsky Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 So do you think she'll get them for you? :tongue_smilie: She said I don't need it. I think I made her uncomfortable when I told her hoisting the girls back up to where they used to be would be a present for BOTH DH and me :lol: She doesn't make much of an effort to curb her rude intrusiveness, so I've stopped making an effort to curb my adult humor ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jar7709 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I want books, and needlework supplies. And a pretty pretty journal cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Are you sure you would rather have an arty umbrella when you could have... http://www.telegraph...il-showers.html (Said in a laughing tone since I can see how many people would find it goofy looking. But it looks really practical. ) That is awesome, but I definitely want my art umbrella. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Botox and a boob job. That's what I told my very shocked MIL when she asked. It's good to keep her on her toes. ;) AWESOME!!!!! And HYSTERICAL!!! I want to be like you when I grow up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglei Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Mostly, I want time more than anything. I want to shut off the rest of the world for a while and just stay home and read, think, bake, cook, draw, play games, take a walk with the dogs, whatever. Oh, and I want all the problems people around me (me & my family included) are having to disappear. :) And I want the clutter to magically sort itself out and walk to the nearest thrift shop without even saying goodbye. :iagree: The bolded parts. Additionally, the *whatever* would include writing, playing my piano, taking some classes *just because*. As for Christmas, dh and I don't exchange gifts, but if we did, I'd want ALL of my backlog of *old-fashioned* film developed before the process becomes so obsolete that it's a moot point! Oh, and in that *time* I want, I'd also like to finish filing photos from years back (I *love* pictures!) along with their descriptions and/or labels; and, I would like to file and/or reorganize my mother's and my MIL's photos in a more sensical order and also into binders that hold more photos than the ones they used (which would also take up less space).

Wendi Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I want closet organizers -but it's not going to happen. I bought myself some dansko volley rain shoes.very cute. Those are so cute!

KrissiK Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I want a camera. And a Wii fitness thingie and new jammies and maybe some coffee. I don't know. Although right now I'd love full-tuition paid for my oldest to the local Christian school for the next 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I sent dh my Brighton wish list. I also want these for the kitchen and bathroom http://www.kohls.com/product/prd-983765/sonoma-life-style-greenhouse-memory-foam-bath-rug.jsp I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and thought they'd be nice in the bathroom also.

Ellesmere Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I already got what I both wanted and needed -- a dishwasher. I just can't physically hand wash as we have for years anymore. If not for that, I can think of a few things that would have been fun to find under the tree. A gift certificate to our local bookstore, something off my list of favorites on Etsy, a couple baking items at King Arthur, new pillows, the perfect vacuum cleaner, and a Nexus 7. But I love the dishwasher so much. Shopping is done for me :) If we could do bigger things, my dream list would include a mattress, landscaping chores hired out (again, I can't reliably keep up), and travel. It may sound silly, but I really want a nice art umbrella. It rains a lot here, and I'd like to look at great art while toting my umbrella on walks. I'd also really like a Jessie Steele apron. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen feeding this crew, and I'd like to feel pretty while doing it! I got an art umbrella for my birthday. Would never have bought it for myself but dh surprised me and I just love it! So it doesn't sound silly to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfarm Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I asked for focus mitts, so other people can punch me, MMA gloves so I can punch them, and MMA shin guards so I can practice kicking the living daylights out of evildoers! My 14yo dd asked for the same things. We need them to move up to the next training level in martial arts class! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (except for a polar bear rug :confused1: for my sensory daughter) Oh this is a fabulous idea - my sensory DD would LOVE it. She is always kneeling down and running her hands through the fuzzy rugs at IKEA :D Where to get one though - who knows????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Laurie Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 A new lens, which isn't going to happen right now. A ring, a diamond fell out of my engagement ring/wedding band years ago and my finger is always naked now. Also not gonna happen. My teen bought me more ram for my imac as an early Xmas present. That was a good gift as it's been lagging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
