SKL Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'm gettin' nothing for Christmas, but I *want* a massage and facial. Both are long overdue. Most likely I will buy myself an overpriced spa visit while on the cruise we're going on around New Year's. I said the same thing last year, but stupid me got a horrible sunburn and could not be touched for half of the cruise. Bah. I never seem to learn my lesson.

Mandylubug Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want to lose 10 pounds of weight. I've vowed to not buy any more clothes until I lose that amount. I've been stuck at this number since the beginning of summer and I'm getting irritated I really don't need nor want anything..

Garga Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Some books by my favorite author The Brain tickler http://www.marblesthebrainstore.com/the-brain-tickler/ You rub your head with it and it feels sooooo good. The midwife uses it for women in labor. A new ipad cover. Irish tin whistle--just to play for fun. Fleece lined tights (oh yeah!) ipad keyboard That thing where there are the 5 stainless steel balls hung on a frame and when you knock a ball from one side into the others, the ball on the other side bounces out and then back. If you knock 2 balls on one side, 2 balls bounce on the other. I can't remember what it's called now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Well, I think I'd like some boots and a few clothing items, perhaps a few sweaters and scarfs. I might buy a few things for myself before Christmas but I'm trying to make myself wait. The mil likes to shop so it is nice to ask for things I would not otherwise buy myself. I wouldn't mind some decorator items for the house but I'm not sure what. I need new sheets. I'd like a new quilt set for my bed. I'd love a few moments to myself.

LucyStoner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My husband and I observe a $10 Christmas gift limit with each other so we get creative rather than just stuff we need/want that will be forgotten in the years to come. We started this not long after our older son was born. I do want, and just got, a bunch of stuff to organize my tiny kitchen better. My husband installed it all for me today- shelves, wall mounted dish drainer, a rail for hooks etc. He also found a small kitchen table which fits our space so much better (we will stick the nice, but large and round set in our storage space until we move). It feels like Christmas times a thousand. There is so much more room to move and work on there. The small cramped apartment kitchen was the only bummer about moving. Also, my hoodie has, after 15+ years hopelessly bitten the dust. This is like losing a dear friend. My very sweet husband found a company that makes them in the US from US produced materials and backs them with a lifetime warranty. He ordered me one that will arrive sometime in November. I protested at the cost and he pointed out that if it lasts me anywhere near as long as the last one, it will be the cheapest thing I own.

TrixieB Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want this kit. I know Santa will deliver, because I'm going to buy it tomorrow. Then I'll give it to him to wrap and put under the tree on Christmas morning. By that time, I'll probably have forgotten all about it (with any luck, HE won't have forgotten) and I'll be surprised by my gift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or bakes evenly. We complain all the time. I've learned to make a lot of stuff in the crockpot this past year to compensate, but I'd love to have a nice convection/toaster oven to have more options. That one there is like my dream oven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 A proper fitting and bra (I've lost nearly 20 pounds). A bar of *excellent*, very dark chocolate A mani/pedi A massage (If I am cleared/ok to get one) That's it, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swellmomma Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 All mine are for the kitchen it seems, apparently I do enjoy cooking when I have the right tools as I have learned at work so: Food processor immersion blender miracle blade III knives (not the best quality out there but they have become my favorites at work) mixing bowls (I am down to 1 the rest have broken) On my last birthday I decided to buy gifts for myself and plan to do so again this xmas. Normally I only get gifts from my folks and my mom never buys what I ask for, usually she buys clothes she likes etc (I do not wear the same style as a nearly 60 yr old woman). I was much happier when I decided it was worth treating myself to what I really want. So I will be delighted to get all of those things this year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want an armband for my iPhone so I can wear it when I work out. Right now, I tuck my phone in the strap of my tank top and it (mostly) stays where it is supposed to be. But now that I am doing my weights, I would like a real armband that won't slip around and that I could wear skiing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you knock 2 balls on one side, 2 balls bounce on the other. I can't remember what it's called now. Isn't that called Newton's cradle? James Bond has one. I could seriously watch it all day. It's mesmerizing. I don't need anything. If I really want something, and we have the money, I'll get it. For Christmas, I want the same thing I want every year: Two weeks of a completely clean kitchen when I get up every morning that *I* didn't have to clean (this is the best gift EVER-I always ask for it for my birthday too!). I wouldn't turn down a gift certificate for a massage, a mani/pedi or a facial though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Florida Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 It won't happen, but I would dearly love it if Santa would replace the antenna on my car. I knocked off the original one going through an automated car wash several months ago and ended up slapping together a temporary solution on my own. But I'm getting awfully tired of not being able to listen to NPR if I go more than 15 miles or so away from downtown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want either upgraded speakers for my car or for dh to figure out if they can make my hatch in the back work with a remote button and for my windows to roll up with a remote button. I have a 2013 Subaru Outback and they weren't upgrade options. ;0/ I am sure they can install one aftermarket any time I get an oil change at the dealership, but I want dh to figure it out and arrange it for me. LOL I am really surprised that my car didn't come with at least one of the two. Especially the windows....my 10 yo Honda Accord at least had that option as stock on the model I had. For my birthday last month, he got my two front side windows tinted. That made me very happy. These probably sound very frivolous but I put close to 2000 miles a Month on my car. It is not uncommon for me to be in my car driving or waiting for kids for a couple hours a day. My car is as important as my home to me.

Guest Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 ds1 is really growing up; last year he gave me a $200 gift certificate to a spa which was really sweet but totally not my style. This year he's giving ds2 and me an X box classic, which totally appeals to my geek side even though I don't even know what a mod chip is yet or which flavour of GNU/Linux I'm going to put on it when I'm comfortable doing so. That's plenty, but if any of my adult kids spend money on me, I hope it's in the form of a RAM upgrade for my desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camelfeet Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 A vacation, preferably to India. Its realistic/possible but probably won't happen unless I organize everything myself which really isn't an xmas gift. Barring a vacation, I would like a gold necklace/earring set and a jewelry box. I don't own any jewelry other than my wedding rings as I'm sensitive to other metals. I figure I'm at that point in my life where a nice set of earrings isn't unreasonable. My stocking stuffers; Scented candles/burning oil, fuzzy socks, and small good quality treats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plansrme Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I don't know about this year, but last year's worked so well that I may do the same thing again. I love the surprise more than the actual gift, so I have always refused to request anything specific. But my husband's gift-giving skills leave something--okay, a lot--to be desired, and I end up with the worst presents. Plus, I end up annoyed that it appears that he put no effort at all into picking gifts. So last year, I asked for, and received: 1. A cookbook to be selected by my then-12 yo daughter; 2. An item of jewelry to be selected by my husband from a specific catalog; 3. An item to wear or for the house to be selected by my then-9 yo son; 4. A book to be selected by my then-15 yo daughter. It worked like a charm; everyone picked something I use and love, and I was surprised-enough by everything that it was tons of fun for me. This year, I will either do the same thing again or request that we go ahead and pull the trigger on having our back entryway (deck, landscaping) torn out and replaced with brick steps.
