happypamama Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I suggested a digital picture frame; I have zillion photos of my little ones on the computer, and a digital frame would let me enjoy a continually rotating selection of them whenever I walk into the kitchen (which is a gazillion times a day). I probably could use a new pair of the same shoes I have been wearing for the last decade or so; they last about two years before they wear out. Oh, and I do want a second 10" skillet, so that I can cook eggs for my growing bunch of munchkins without it taking so long, since they like them differently; with a second 10" skillet, I could cook scrambled eggs in one pan and fried in the other and get them all done quickly. That's not really for *me* though so much as it is for the family, but that's okay. Other than that, I don't really want any stuff; I have asked DH to please work on the house projects for which we have had paint sitting here for quite a while, and I have a request for a very specific set of shelves I want. He is a professional carpenter; this is not beyond his abilities by any means, but he needs time to do it (and time when it's relatively convenient to have some of the house torn up/out of commission for a bit). But that's what I really, really want -- to work on the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extendedforecast Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want a few new clothes, a gift card to a spa for a facial (this would be a first for me), workout clothes, an external hard drive for my Mac, and an immersion blender that actually works. My unrealistic wish is a weekly or biweekly (heck, even monthly would be awesome) housecleaning by a professional. Unfortunately, DH isn't comfortable with strangers in our house touching our stuff or using their own mops, vacuum, etc. to clean. I don't know why, but I try understand where he is coming from.

LostSurprise Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I'd like a trip to Minneapolis so I can go to a tall store and buy some shirts which are not from the men's department. That may or may not be realistic, but its possible so I'll throw it out there. Otherwise: books (of which I have a huge wishlist and no one but my brother will bother to shop online so I probably won't get any, unless my bro pulls my name in the exchange) more silicon baking mats bannetons (round or oval) pastry wheel lemon oil vanilla beans tulilp bundt pan or snowflake 9x13" pan from Nordic ware Half of this was on my list last year though, so I'll probably end up doing what I did last year, buying what I want.

Stacia Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I actually came up w/ a pretty long list this year. Dh has been bugging me about getting a list together. So... ice skating lessons money to renew my library membership to a different county a repair that's needed on my car bird seed a few donations to specific non-profits I support 'membership'/subscription to a book publisher where I'll get copies of the next 6 or 8 books they publish (NYRB Classics; Archipelago) bedding stuff incl. a new duvet cover some of the makeup I use & also some mint soap dh will probably get me the perfume I use because I'm running out & he loves it Torrefazione Italia coffee Edgar Allan Poe infinity scarf framing a couple of festival posters we have And, I always like surprises.

ChristusG Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Air printer so that I can print from my iPad and phone. Some vinyl lettering phrases that I found on Etsy for wall decor. They are Disney sayings. Gift certificate for digital scrap booking kits. Memory foam bathroom rugs. Season passes to Disney. Retro Metro 31 bag Collapsible mixing bowls and colander Disney wall art prints Camera case Massage cushion I won't get everything on this list but I have quite a few people who always ask for a list so I like to have one ready.

HollyDay Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My list includes a nice pair of sunglasses. I had a pair of Maui Jim's for almost 10 years but the lenses are scratched so badly now. No way can I afford to replace them, so I'm thinking about asking for a pair of Ray Ban classics. Due to a cornea defect, I need to wear sunglasses throughout the year and good lenses are a must. I'd also like Pioneer Woman's new cookbook and a quilting book. Other ideas include my favorite chocolate, jewelry, perfume. Dh and dds can pick something from that "girly" collection. My stocking usually has socks, my favorite soap, chocolates, sample sizes of lotions, and other practical type things.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball mom Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Dreaming: infrared heater kindle fire mouse sander Realistically probably won't get anything except maybe a bottle of jergens lotion & a candy bar.

The "yeah right" look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 My husband, daughter, and I don't do gifts. My extended family continues to insist on it, though. I've learned over the years that asking for something is the best guarantee that I WON'T get it because they all seem to take pride in shopping off-list after requiring a list. Sometime this winter I will get for myself: - a really nice pair of jeans after I finish losing weight - a new pair of Converse - a tattoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alisoncooks Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want an iPad. I wanted one last Christmas, but we were waiting for the newest to come out so we could buy a cheaper refurb or something. Fingers crossed... I also want a few things for the house: blinds for the bedroom & living room, shelves for my bathroom, shutters for the front of the house, a fixed up front porch and a new shed. But those'll probably just go on a list to knock off a bit at a time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom in High Heels Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 LSU to beat Alabama (you want to beat them so badly, you can do it!) I think I heard my mother faint when I read that. She's a die hard Alabama fan (interestingly, I do not like football at all). Her house is in a holiday parade of homes this year (they bought me an airline ticket so I could come help her decorate!) and each room must have its own theme. The study will have an AL theme. I talked them into a black christmas tree (OMG, it's so gorgeous!) and we'll put dark red and white ornaments, along with some AL ornaments she has and houndstooth bows. I also have to figure out something for the rest of the room, but it will all be AL. Air printer so that I can print from my iPad and phone. There is a program you can install that will allow you to print from any printer using your iPad and iphone. I think you have to have a mac though to install it. It's called Printopia. You can read about it here. FYI, I haven't tried it yet, I just know about it. Season passes to Disney. Ah, man, don't I wish! We don't live close enough though to make it worth it. Some friends of ours in Germany bought season passes to Disneyland Paris, the week we were all there for 4th of July. They have 5 kids! They drive there once a month (it's about a 3.5 hour drive) and have a great time. While the tickets weren't that expensive, they have to spend a fortune in hotel rooms and food! We're hoping to go to Disneyland in CA either next year or the year after, since we've not been to that one. We've done WDW and DLP many, many times, but never the original. I'd love to go, but James Bond and Indy are pulling for another Disney cruise. They want to do the one to Alaska. I had a great time on the last one (Mediterranean), but I just don't think a cruise to Alaska would be that exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoot Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 An Exo Terra front-opening terrarium for my leopard gecko. A Homewood Suites feather pillow. If I got nothing but those two things right there, I would be over the moon. However, if I get that terrarium for my leopard gecko, I may have to take myself to the reptile show and pick up something new for his old 10-gal. tank. :001_tt2: I'm thinking either another gecko or a pacman frog. Not sure if I should push it though, I'm considering talking DH into a ball python, and that is going to take some serious finesse. :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemommy Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 A horse. :) We can't have one yet, but I'd love to lease one. Or even a half lease.

BlueTaelon Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I probably won't get anything since the entire family is broke but I want an electric dryer (I'd be just fine with an old one, I just want to be able to dry laundry at home!), my own bed (is having more then 15 inches of bed space so much to ask?) and my splurge, a bottom mattress warmer:) oh yeah, I really want a pair of really warm slippers!

Kari C in SC Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 My dh and I only do stockings or small gifts to each other and then buy our own gift if there is something we really want. I did ask my mom and sister for a dehydrator or a blue tooth speaker for my ipad. I don't hold a lot of hope that they got those things because as somebody else said - they have some kind of odd joy in going off list to have a surprise. So... If they don't get those things, I will probably order them from amazon for myself soon after Christmas and call it my late Christmas present.
