Speaking of Xmas Shopping...

What's on YOUR wishlist this year?

I'm horrible.  I can never think of anything that I really want.  The only thing I've been able to come up with so far is a camera lens.  And I'm not even sure I really want that, but that's all I could come up with.

Re: Speaking of Xmas Shopping...

  • I don't get Xmas presents but I wanted a Kindle and somehow convinced DH to get it for me for Hanukkah even though we don't normally do real presents for Hanukkah.  My parents are being super sweet and are giving us money to use towards our tour of Petra when we're in Israel/Egypt/Jordan next month.

    We're leaving on 12/24 and get back on 1/6.  I'm so excited but I know I'm going to be exhausted when we get back.  It's going to be a busy trip.

    My parents are more excited than we are because they finally get to "live" in NYC for 2 weeks and get some quality time with their grand-dog...my mom has been dreaming about this for years.

    No Christmas with extended family either?? Sad

    Aside from the first year we were dating, Vik and I have never bought gifts for each other.

    I bet.  Long trips are always exhausting, but in a good way.

    And I can totally see why your mom is so excited.  If you ever need a house/dog sitter and your parents are busy... look me up! :)

     I'm sure this is the only time it's going to work.  We travel a lot so if you want to come to New York and can put up with my pup we're more than happy to have you house/dog sit!  You'll be in for a surprise when you see our apartment though :)

  • DH and I don't really do gifts for each other. But in my immediate family, we do a name-choosing type of exchange. We do it on elfster actually--so I was able to put up links to come clothes I want. And I wanted money for my stethoscope for school. That's all I could think of this year.

  • We don't really buy Christmas gifts for each other...it's always about birthdays and anniversaries. We just add money to the "trip fund" - our Italy trip in 2011.

    We both love decorating for Christmas, and it's exciting this year for the both of us because it's our first Christmas at our house. (Last year we were in FL). So believe me, we're going to go all semi-Griswold...not with the lights, but the engineer husband is already "planning" the areas of the house that "should" be lit up!!

  • I really just want clothes this year.  I have no idea what I want this year.  I requested clothes and a soft cuddly blanket.
  • I just got a laptop in October, so that was my Christmas present but I think DH is buying me a nice bag to carry it in so I can actually bring it to work with me.  My MIL is buying me a mini-food processor.  DH might get me some DVDs or a tshirt from Threadless.
  • A sewing machine, I think DH looked into it for me. I've told other family that we want money/ gift cards to put towards an entertainment center or bedroom set. My aunt asked me today what I want for an individual gift, and I had no idea (aside from gift cards). I could think of a few things for DH. I'd tell people I want a new pair of motorcycle gloves, but I'm having a hard time finding ones I like (it's hard to find them in white or light gray!), so I can't put people on a witch hunt like that.
  • we usually get gifts from my parents and his mom, but i don't ever ask for big stuff.

     

    edit:  this was supposed to be a reply for andrea.  i guess i forgot to hit the quote button.

  • Mostly its clothes, a couple books, some movies, but nothing really huge. Although, now that I know we're getting a house soon I might actually change my wish list to a couple things for the house but we'll see...

    Aw, that's awesome.  My family went to Israel when I was younger and my parents thought of doing an Egypt/Jordan add on but it didn't work out for some reason.  I so wish we had been able to do it.  Your trip is going to be amazing.

    As for what I want, I also don't really know.  I want a new ipod, but don't really NEED one so I could go either way with that.  I kind of want some new clothes or something, but I don't know.

  • Have fun Marisa!!  Buy lots of goodies!! 

     

    We don't do huge gifts for xmas, but i'm getting him an iphone this year :)  that's his gift!!  I'm trying to sneakily get it for him the day before xmas eve!  Wish me luck!  I have to convince him NOT to upgrade on 12/12 when he's due...

    I don't know what I want.  Maybe a maid service!  Or new carpet/laminate but no one's buying me that!  I asked for a toaster from my mom...lol

  • I haven't even really thought about it. I wouln't mind a cheap ipod or something for work. But I won't really say it cause TJ bought me one last year as one of my gifts... but it like lasts 3 hours and needs charged again.

    But he's already got my present and I know what it is. So it'll just be my family asking me. And there really isn't much I want. I'd rather have money or giftcards to use towards house stuff!

    I'm at a complete loss for TJ though. :-(

  • There's this Land's End diaper bag/backpack that I want :)   And maybe some slippers.  I'm also thinking of asking for comfy clothes or pajamas.
