Re: What is on your Christmas wish list?

  • I really want a new tablet/laptop, but I still haven't decided what kind.

    Other than that, I'm all about clothing/shoes or cool home decor. Especially attractive storage solutions and new accent pillows for the couches.

  • I really want a tablet. I'd like to keep my laptop for classwork only, so I don't have to use it as much. I haven't thought about anything else yet though.

  • I really want some new Dansko clogs. My fake ones are split completely on the bottom near the ball of my foot.

    And honestly, for cheesiness I just want to have a happy Christmas. The past 3 years have been completely horrible. One we found out my nana had brain cancer, the next we found out DH had azoo then our kitty died, and this last Xmas Josh and Zoe passed away. I'm so over Christmas. I just want it to be "merry" again.

  • I will preface this by saying I'm not a greedy bitch and don't expect to get even half of this list, much less the whole thing. I just keep a running list in my email as I see things I like so when people ask for ideas or what I want I don't sit there going ummmmmmmmmmmmmm (which I have done a LOT). :P I started this a couple years ago and it's worked really well. Maybe something here will help spark ideas for you ladies.

  • This year I'm thinking wine, beer, and a massage are going on my list.

    Although I found these $75 compression running tights that are good for zero degree weather. So I'm planning to put those on the list so I can burn the calories off from the items on the first list.

    That's super sad. If you do get a new Kindle down the line, I always put mine in a gallon size ziploc baggie whenever I use it anywhere near water.

    I ruined mine with baby oil. I had a silicone cover around it and a bottle of baby oil that I had sitting next to it got knocked over in the middle of the night and the lid wasnt tight. the cover held it in and totally effed it up. Devestated is not even the word. My friends all rallyed together and bought me a new one for my 30th birthday the following week so I had it for vacation.
  • Only gifts we are doing this year is a buying a new grill for the house and going to see Phish at Madison Square Garden the Saturday after Christmas. Getting to spend a night in NYC during the Christmas season is gift enough for me.

    Oh yeah and I would really like a nice pair of flat brown riding boots.

  • I tried to suggest no gifts or keeping things small this year, but DH is like me and likes to spoil the ones he loves, so I highly doubt it will actually happen.  Plus neither of us wants to be the asshole who actually stuck to the agreement while the other bought a ton of stuff. I suck at telling people what I want.  I've been seriously eyeing the new Urban Decay Naked 3 palette and I joked that I needed a floor length bubble coat because it's already snowing here (it was a joke, but I wouldn't be upset with that). I might have to steal some things off your lists because I really have no idea what I want.
