Re: Since we're on the topic of Christmas lists...
If I was forced to make a list.
Dream gift - a road bike.
Practical gifts - A grind & brew coffee pot. A new food processor and blender. GC for a massage. Compression socks. A new robe & slippers.
Our Disney trip is our family Christmas gift this year. We're all very excited about that! We'll get older DD's something small and Tori something from Santa as well.
My dad is the hardest to shop for. He buys whatever he wants whenever he wants it so there is limited potential for gifts.
I want a camera lens, Hobby Lobby gift cards (I'm planning a new photo wall), small stuff for the kitchen. I also want a Dust Buster to vac up from under Cooper's high chair!
We're getting SD a decal for his pool table that I'm excited about. I've also got some crafty things I want to do for our moms & my sister. I have a few small things I want to get DH that I'm excited about, but his big thing isn't very exciting. Especially since he has been asking for it for years and it is the only thing that fits in our budget. I'm also excited about some of the stuff I'm planning for DS, but mostly because he'll "get it" this year.
MIL is usually the hardest person to shop for. But my sister and her DH seem to be impossible as well. I have NO ideas for them.
I'm still working on my list and need ideas, in fact, I plan to steal them from all of you... right now my amazon list is mostly books and some kitchen items.
I am super duper excited about shopping for Cooper and seeing him open presents on Christmas. Actually I'm just excited about the entire season with him this year.
My FIL is impossible to shop for, he has everything, and anything he wants he buys himself. He's the kind of guy you buy a new golf shirt and a box of golf balls for. boooring. But my dad, sister and BIL are pretty hard too. I need some brilliant inspiration.
What items are on YOUR wish list? About a million books for my kindle. I'm going to need a lot of reading material once we're living in Singapore/Korea & the library's no longer around the corner. A camera lens. An embroidery machine.
What are you most looking forward to giving someone else this year? No big plans for anything exciting for anyone.
Who is the hardest person to shop for on your list? My Dad. If he wants something he buys it for himself. He buys lots of spices from a site on-line, so I may just get him a giftcard to them this year.
I am HIGHLY disappointed to not see over mitts on the list this year...=(
What items are on YOUR wish list?
perfume that i'm running out of
love poems : ) (i love asking for this because the results are unpredictable and always awesome).
What are you most looking forward to giving someone else this year?
my niece and nephew are getting a trip to WDW, and we are giving them a limo ride to and from the airport as a surprise. i'm so excited to see their faces when they see the limo driver holding a sign with their names!
Who is the hardest person to shop for on your list?
DH, mainly because he never wants me to spend any money on him, and he generally goes and gets whatver he kind of wants. it's hard to come up with "suprirse" gifts for him that he iwll really love.

What items are on YOUR wish list?
I really want a Keurig and I think MIL is getting it for us, yay!
I also want some attachments for my Kitchen Aid Mixer and a new glass kitchen stuff (DH threw all of my Pyrex away).
What are you most looking forward to giving someone else this year?
I made a cook book of my favorite recipes for my Mom and SIL. I think they'll love it!
Who is the hardest person to shop for on your list?
My FIL and Step Dad are both tough. They buy whatever they want for themselves to it's tough to surprise them.

All I would want is an ipad but I don't think it is going to happen.
I am going to try to get DH a new computer, he desperately wants one and I want him to be happy.
My mother is impossible to shop for, everything she wants she buys for herself.
My Christmas list:
Is boring right now
So far, I have an aerator thingy to make lattes with at home (I saw a recipe for a SUPER easy chai tea latte, and I want this to make the milk frothy), maybe a home laminator, and clothes. That's it so far. Oh, and I always love to go buy organizational stuff, so maybe some giftcards to Target or Bed Bath and Beyond.
Oh, well, I DO want to put a closet system in my closet...Container Store or something like that. If we do that, that will be my big and only gift, and I'm fine with that!
Most looking forward to giving:
We're getting Charlotte a tricycle ~ a REAL one with training wheels! I cannot wait to see her reaction on Christmas morning.
Hardest to shop for: DH is impossible. He hates surprises and I don't DARE buy him anything that he has not specifically requested (bad experience, LOL), so I sort of hate buying stuff for him...and double whammy, his birthday is two days before Christmas! I know he wants an air compressor....
My dad was also really hard to shop for. He was the type that if he wanted it, he would just go buy it. Although, since we had Charlotte (his only grandchild and the light of his life), that became easier because I could basically give him anything to do with her and he was over the moon.
I am really going to miss him something fierce at the holidays.
