NBR what's on your Christmas list?

dutchgirl76

I know this is a great problem to have...but I'm stuck on what I want to ask for Christmas. I said on a different thread DH and I are trying to save up so we're not trying to spend too much this season. Just curious what's on your wish list?

Also, I know most of you use Overdrive, Libraries and other free resources to read, but does anyone purchase the B&N membership? DH and I only go a few times a year, but everytime I go I think "would it be worth it"? Anyone have any feedback, it's only $25 for the year. Figured I could ask my dad for a B&N gift card then use the money to buy the membership.

I used to have a B&N membership that my MIL would buy me every year for Christmas, and it was SO worth it for the free shipping from B&N.com (and really, they are going to put their own brick and mortar stores out of business with how much cheaper everything is on the website, but that's a whole other thing).  But now that I really don't buy actual books much anymore, it stopped being worth it for me.

My Christmas list includes some records, cable knit leg warmers, really fancy new beach chairs, and a fleece lined flannel from LL Bean.  Some new earrings would be nice too, but I don't think I've actually asked anyone for those . . .

4. a Robot vacuum

5. Sweat pants

6. Spa GC

For the most part these are just things on my Amazon wish list. I have a birthday coming up, too, and since my Mom is the only person who buys me a Christmas present, it's mostly for that. Not that I expect anything off this list, but it's called a WISH list for a reason.

1. Birchbox subscription

2. A new Kindle fire (my current one doesn't hold a charge for long)

3. A new kitchen knife set. My current one sucks

4. A new Garmin GPS. Our GPS is so old it won't update anymore.

5. Several different books

6. The meat grinding attachments for a KitchenAid mixer

7. One of those contraptions that let you turn your bicycle into a stationary indoor bike

8. Amazon gift cards are always nice

9. This one is embarrassing but I really want to learn how to do contact juggling like Bowie's character in Labyrinth did. OK, so it was a guy behind Bowie but I still think that's the coolest damn thing!

The kit is only $17...I should just break down and get it.

It seems like it would work really well and also be easy to store. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0094KIVQW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=Z5XYJH0Z6V8B&coliid=IFSVP44EPUYDH

Nothing.  Christmas is going to be delayed to January this year for me.

The Spanish exchange gifts on Epiphany. You can channel them for this season.

The only "big" things I'm asking for are a Kindle Paperwhite and a Nutribullet so I can replace carby breakfast foods with fruit/veggie smoothies.  I've also got quite a few coloring books on my list and more of the Penguin Drop Caps series.

Technically Little Christmas is what January 5th or 6th when the 3 wise men got there. My mom always kept the tree up until that day to honor "true Christmas" I do hope you have a nice day whenever you get to celebrate

I get the B&N card.  B&N gift cards are the go-to gift for me, and it's worth it.  Also, my birthday is a few days after Christmas so everyone's all idea'ed out.

In other words, the *real* 12 days of Christmas!    (12 days between Christmas & Little Christmas/Epiphany)  I keep my tree up through that date as well.
