What's on your Holiday list?

Re: What's on your Holiday list?
It's been a few years since I got new bedding, and I love getting new bedding, so I have a quilt on my wish list. It's the exact same one I currently have but I shrunk mine in the wash so I want a new one. And some other random crap like a camera bag, SD card, etc.
For DH I have no idea. So far he's told me he wants a new tape measure. Woo hoo.
For DS, we will probably get him one large toy - maybe a tool bench or something - and a few other random things. Probably something Elmo-related - the kid is obsessed!
BFP#1: 01/10, M/C 6w -- BFP#2: 06/10, M/C 5w -- BFP#3: 09/10, DS born June 1, 2011

Decorate This
Well I got my new windows finally, so now I am hoping for {drumroll}.......a fireproof safe. I know, I live dangerously.
I don't really get too much anymore, its more about my kids, but I wouldn't object to a Sephora GC.
I have NO IDEA what to get my boys. Last year for DS1 it was a train table and it will be hard to top that. Not to mention, we have so many toys I seriously don't want to bring more in the house.
ETA: DH and I stopped exchanging gifts several years ago because we didn't need any more "stuff" around the house but he has been known to surprise me with things like spa gift cards and flowers, etc. Then I yell at him and say "Hey we aren't supposed to get each other anything!"
DH wants a leather messenger bag for work and some other small things. His birthday is a week before Christmas, so I have a really expensive month coming up.

Cooking with Crouton: A Food Blog
I asked DH for a few books, some Reno 911 DVDs, lip gloss, gingerbread coffee and my favorite candy.
I have no clue what to get DH yet. We instituted a $100 limit for each other and all he wants is a $600 sound system for the tv.
On my list this year is a food processor, bath towels, gift card for clothes, serve ware bowls (with stand).
I have no idea what DH wants, he suggested a new clothes hamper (seriously!!). I know he has been eying up the ipads, the microsoft tablets.
For the girls... I'm at a loss because we have some many damn toys, it's crazy. I'm thinking of getting the everywhere chair for Caroline, but I guess I would have to get one for Annabelle too.
On my list is a nice pair of riding boots or a Northface fleece jacket. I can't remember the last time I've bought anything super-nice for myself since I wear scrubs to work and don't dress up on my days off. I'd also be happy with an itunes GC so I can buy some more apps/books.
I'm buying DH an ipad 2. Extravagant, but seeing as I haven't bought him a birthday or anniversary gift, I'm sort of rolling the big three events into one.
I'm buying a train table for the kids and I'll have the grandparents spring for the extra tracks and accessories. Or anything Disney Junior-related since the kids are obsessed!
DH mentioned that he wants a pair of nice sunglasses so that's what I might get him. We usually do $100 limit.
DS wants clothes and shoes.
Ava wants everything she sees on TV. Some of the things on her list are Stompies, "tutu's and skirts", a guitar, Jake and the Neverland Pirates game, a bouncyhouse and Doc McStuffins stuff.
It's hard buying for Faith because we already have everything for her age. But it's fun shopping for the little ones!
They are each getting an Anywhere Chair. Ava has a "My First" but I'm going to get her a bigger one and get the same size for Faith.
Unless I actually tell someone what exactly to buy me, there's not much I want (let alone need). I want new patio furniture and blinds, I wouldn't be opposed to cashmere sweaters or scarves and a new throw blanket, but I'd be happy w/ GC to The Pearl and/or other spas. We're going on a cruise w/ my parents and sister in February - I'd love a GC to get a massage on the cruise.
For DH - I know he wants a new radio for the garage, and I will probably buy him/us 2 new skillets, some Ravens stuff, swizzle sticks for his bar.
DD - she's going to get some unicorn and horse stuff - she's obsessed with them, and probably Cinderella and Brave movies, new tutus, a tag reader, candyland. New puzzles and books. Underwear, tights and socks in her stocking - along w/ some chocolate!
On my list: a Mommy necklace, Pandora beads (Cinderella's coach, a green glass w-shamrocks, and a couple of purely pretty-colored ones are on my list), towels, a slew of TV shows on DVD (or iTunes GCs to download them), some new bakeware, and in a dream world, a DSLR. Also: clothes because (brag) I'm shrinking out of mine.
DH: I have no earthly idea. He hasn't mentioned anything yet, but I imagine he's going to want tools.
Mia: My Little Pony wedding castle, Brave, some clothes, some books, possibly a new iPod. And I'm making her a small photo album of pictures from our Disney trip.
Liam: Jumperoo, wooden puzzles/shape toys, board books, clothes. We didn't keep much of Mia's younger toys, so Liam could actually use quite a few things in the coming months.
I want an ipad and some running gear.
DH is so easy to shop for because he likes everything.
Aiden is asking for an umbrella. Again, super easy!
Claire has no clue, so she's getting a few small things.

For me I finally am asking for a crock pot. I love cooking, but I am always so tired when I come home. I need something to be ready for when I get home. I am also 10 years behind, but I would love to have the Sex and the City series (all of them). I also would love some new kitchen things (cutting boards, baking sheets, etc) and possibly bedding.
For DH I am thinking about a dehydrator--he loves beef jerky and a nose hair trimmer, not sure about what else yet, his birthday is a couple weeks before so that always throws a kink in the things...LoL
For DS we are getting him a bigger power wheels...he loves his little one but is quickly growing out of it. We are also getting him on of those soft arm chairs I always see in magazine, he loves sitting in seats. Also anything elmo, he is also obssessed!
