Holiday wish lists?
MIL already wants one, so I'm trying to think of ideas in between working this morning. So, let's start a thread.... what is on your wishlist?
Cheap stuff and dream stuff! Share it all!
Re: Holiday wish lists?
Cute Accessories
(I never want to spend the money to buy myself scarfs, gloves, cheap jewelry, hair clips, etc.)
A new TV for our bedroom + DVD Player that doesn't make a God awful clicking sound
New couch
New knives
- - -
On a side note I know my mom is getting me a nice piece of jewelry. I made a comment on vacation and she was surprised to hear that Mike doesn't buy me jewelry, so she said she would.
A new lens or flash for my camera
An external hard drive
Charms for my bracelet
A replacement spoonula, mine was sliced by a knife in the drying rack so I need a new one. Never realized how often I use that thing
A michael Kors dress watch
baby G-shock sports watch
Keurig
Cute fashion jewlery ( i.e. earring and things from something like Monet)
Ipad2
New camera
My Blog Picture A Day Blog
A what?
Our own home
A silhouette craft cutter and some vinyl to go with it
Itunes/IBooks gift card
This Fossil Purse--way outside our budget
Blog
16 read! my read shelf:
A curved rubber spatula
The only thing I asked for and want is to have my ring redesigned (using the same diamonds, just switching it up a bit.)
I would love a kindle but can't justify it as an iPad owner.
DSLR camera
steam mop
step (like to use for exercise)
One of those new Amazon Kindles...I think its called the Kindle Fire? You can get apps and stuff on it.
A nice set of pearls
small rotary sander for furniture projects
Cold, hard cash
Seriously on my wish list is a personal laminator one of the few things I miss from teaching was laminating things
I would love a new wardrobe of clothes that fit properly.
My DSLR fixed (it works but it pops up with an error often and you have to turn it off pop the battery out back in flip it back on, you totally miss the moment).
Realistic:
I told my mom I'd like matching Fiesta Ware stuff. When it was on a super duper huge discount @ Kohls I bought 8 place settings with the thought of replacing my chipped old dishes when we move into a house. But I don't have platters, etc.
Dream:
A house to use said Fiesta Ware in. We had planned on buying this fall but then our surprise trip to India & having to buy a new car for DH meant what saving we had are now gone.
Oh, and a baby.
Neither one are happening anytime soon.
Do you have a Dillard's near you? I love Fossil purses, but wait until they go on clearance. I haven't bought one that hasn't been 50% off in years. Dillard's seems to have the best clearances (I've seen Coach and D&B for 50% off too!).
On my list, a DSLR. Maybe some new clothes, but I am determined to lose weight and don't want a bunch of random sizes. A new computer would be nice too, since mine bit the dust.
MyFitnessPal - Free Calorie Counter
I started keeping track of things I want in the notepad on my phone. It feels kind of weird asking for things, but our family always asks for lists and we rarely have anything to tell them. So, I took this year by the horns and kept a list.
Yaktraks (to run in the snow)
Gift card to local running store for new shoes
Gift card to the hair salon I go to
Bike
Nike tempo shorts
Sports bras
New lunchbox
Fuel belt
Road ID
Reflective vest to run in the dark
Headlamp to run in the dark
Most of it is running stuff, but I figure I should be selfish the next couple of years since we don't have children and a house that we own (hopefully it will be sold by this Christmas).
I have a lot of running stuff on my list, too. It's expensive! And my family is big on lists, so I've been putting this together for a couple months.
Garmin watch (haven't decided which one yet)
Yurbuds earphones
Subscriptions to Self, Runner's World, and Real Simple
My entry fee to the LA Marathon
Rick Bayless cookbook
Biking Capris
Gift cards to the Limited, Gap, VS, Zappos, and my favorite running store, AMC movie tickets.
The only item I really had on there was to fix my wedding ring -- which DH ended up giving me $$ to do for my birthday (which then ended up being FREE!). Do I still get that money?!
I really really want a Louis Vuitton bag and have for a while - but they are very expensive and I'm not sure the one I really want will "fit" - - the straps may not be long enough for my chubby arms.
