Christmas lists

The board has been so quiet! In the hopes of getting some conversations going, what's on everyone's Christmas list this year?

I really want the Fit Bit Flex bracelet from Tory Burch. I got the FB Flex for Christmas last year, and have been loving it since, so I figured the TB bracelet, while a decent chunk of money, will be well utilized. I'm also hoping for a new straightening iron that's easier to take to the gym and back and some warm weather and workout gear for walking the pup.

What's on your wish list?

Re: Christmas lists

  • I don't really have too much on my list this year...  I'm not sure why I can't come up with anything.

    Plus, I have a mid-December birthday, so I have to come up with extra items for that too.

    In other news - we will hopefully be finding out if this LO is a boy or a girl on Saturday!!!

  • I'm having such a hard time coming up with ideas! Though now that you mention it, I was always interested in the FitBit... maybe I'll ask for one of those. I'm hoping it's the kick in the panks I need to lose this baby weight. @ldawngirl you like yours?

    Besides that, all I'm asking for is little things - a new umbrella (since my old one broke in the middle of a torrential downpour... fun), some new maxi skirts, and maybe a boot organizer.

    Honestly I wish I could just ask for cash. Daycare is so pricey, our spending money is low these days.

  • H and I aren't exchanging, money is really tight. The kiddo is all taken care of, 2 Santa gifts and one from us, plus stocking stuffers. Family is all getting homemade stuff and that is pretty much done as well.

    My parents are awesome and are gifting us a car, so we told them nothing more. My mom is one of those who if she gives a big gift card will give a secondary gift also "so you have something to actually open".

    FIL's wife asked what we wanted and I suggested a gift card to a wine store or to a restaurant since we haven't been able to go out in forever.

    MIL didn't get us anything last year so I'm sure this year will be the same, especially with our fallout over the summer.
  • @ky29, that's exciting!! I hope LO cooperates! :)

    I can't think of much that I want for Christmas either. I'd like an area rug for our living room before DD is moving about since it's hardwood, but I haven't taken the time to actually find one I like.

  • Santa (mom) told me I did not ask for anything fun this year lol

    I asked for a Jets jersey, a Jets license plate holder, a few decor items for our living room, jigsaw puzzle, and gift cards (Old Navy, Target, Amazon).

    I had stuff ready for my MIL but she hasn't asked what we wanted this year? Last year we each got a small gift and then 2 "a donation has been made in your name" things so I guess she's phasing out presents.

    My elfster SS from another board got me Rummikub (board game) and Amy Poehler's book. Both were on my wishlist so I'm happy I got them.
  • @ky29  How did the ultrasound go? Blue or pink?

  • LCostel - I love the FitBit. I have tried the Flex and One, but much prefer the Flex. It's so easy to just put it on and forget about it. I found with the One (which is more like a traditional clip-on pedometer), I was constantly having to transfer it while changing at the gym, at home, etc. The Flex is pretty nondescript- just a black band, so I'm excited to get the Tory Burch bracelet and liven it up.
  • I just have some random things on my Amazon list that I found over the year. Plus I'd like a new nice purse - like Michael Kors or Kate Spade. I have several Coach ones too but could always have another :-) I have a Fit Bit too but lost my original. They were nice enough to replace it for me free. I told them it probably just fell off when I was walking my dog - it's a traditional One type. I used to clip it on my pants pocket if I had one, but now I am wearing it on my bra as they suggest. I really like it too. My wrist is so small that I thought maybe the Flex wasn't going to fit well. I saw a cute necklace type thing I may order from Etsy that I can put it in too though.
