What's on your Christmas list?
MH keeps asking me what I want for Christmas. I honestly have no idea. Share what's on your list and let's give each other some ideas.

Re: What's on your Christmas list?
fun fact: my sister knocked out her two front teeth way early, so she asked for that a couple times.
I changed my name
A camera strap from Etsy
Paddle attachment with rubber scraper for my KA
Ravioli Stamp
Williams Sonoma gift card
I think MH will get me a Michael Kors or Marc Jacobs watch
When I was 3, my mom and I were parked outside a donut shop. Out of nowhere, we were hit by a drunk driver at 7 in the morning. My two front teeth were knocked out. They didn't grow in until I was nearly 8. To this day, I loathe that Christmas song. Everyone used to think it was hillarious to pick at me with that song.
New perfume? haven't decided what I want though.
What I'd REALLY like is to not buy each other gifts and use that money towards a family weekend get away.
Kindle
Jewelry box or armoire
A day off - as in a baby-free day, from getting up to bedtime!!
Books/Barnes and Noble GC are Christmas list staples
new mixing bowls
for my lil sis and BIL to change their minds and come out for the holidays
A heated eyelash curler. (I'm not joking.)
A digital pen for my computer.
I don't actually know what I want... I guess it depends if I'm working or not..
I changed my name
KA Food Processor (Cuisinart is acceptable)
Chocolate brown pea coat
Shoes
Workout clothes
Any clothing that fits, haha.
A job.
A panini press or one of those 4 in 1 griddles.
gift cards
Nothing to exciting, but we are moving right after the holidays so I would rather just get gifts cards so we dont have to move it.
Mainly kitchen stuff - new mixing bowls and some new utensils.
iTunes gift cards are going to be a staple this year so I can load up the iPad with movies and books. Besides that and more work clothes, my list is boring, too. I should probably get on that...
A camera bag from Etsy.
A drill! I'm so excited we went and tried some at Home Depot this weekend and found on that is light enough and small enough for me to use and is still powerful. E is almost more excited about it than I am because he thinks it will be nice to have a smaller one for inside stuff and to keep his big one outside. I'm just excited that I won't have to balance it with one hand and hold it with the other!
Other than that I'm thinking asking for a closet organization system so that we can make good use of insanely large closet.
I'd love some pieces from our china pattern. We got 12 place settings, a teapot, and a platter for our wedding, but I'd like to have another platter, two vegetable bowls, and the creamer and sugar bowl. I figure if I can get one piece for each holiday I should be caught up in a couple of years.
Patio Furniture, Black boots, New Rules of lifting for Abs. Safe flight from Germay to ORD and then on to Texas.
I just blow my hairdryer on the curler for a few seconds and that does the trick.
I want a phone cover from here.
Cardy Uggs in gray
I really just want to skip presents, and go back to CA for Christmas. And some serious quality time with my H.
But other than that I want some rain boots.
New mixing bowls.
New spatulas.
A dresser.
A dining room table.
A Saints jersey.
A really nice cast iron skillet.
A massage.
And any type of Yankee Candle goodness. I am addicted.
I would love a basic semi portable sewing machine
A couple attachments to our KA mixer.
Upgrade my camera.
I have the Alpine tights from Lululemon and they are worth every.single.penny. I'm not sure how cold it gets there but mine are nice and toasty.
My Christmas list is always just a carryover of birthday which is only a month before. H's bday and christmas are just days apart.
So far, I've asked for a pepper grinder, a fancy coated whisk, and a kindle. It's pretty much the most I've ever specifically asked for.
I'll be getting H the ice cream kitchenaid mixer. He claimed he was going to get it for me, but I said that would be a selfish gift since he knows I don't eat ice cream. Me giving him the attachment is also me giving him the gift that I'll use it for him.

A keyboard
A massage
The new Gorgeous VS perfume
The most beautiful place on earth to me: Glacier NP

I never know either. What I usually end up telling people amounts to gift cards for things like eating out or going to the movies. I saw a suggestion for a massage. Things like that are always nice.
This year I've also been keeping a "wish list" on Amazon. Whenever I see something that interests me but that I don't feel like buying at that particular time I add it. So I've got things like specialty cookbooks, cast iron pans and smartwool knee-high socks on there. So what it ends up being are things that if someone bought it for me, I'd be happy to have it, but not something that I will miss terribly if I don't get it.
I want a drill too! What kind are you getting? We've been in this house since May and haven't nothing hung yet except for the baby's room, haha. Granted, we're waiting till we've finished painting and updating trim but still.
I also want a sander for some furniture projects I have laying in the garage.
Oh, and I want a kettlebell set for my home gym!
This one http://www.homedepot.com/Ryobi/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1aw/R-202351930/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
Its not a really powerful one, but its perfect for the things I need it for. I would really suggest going and playing with some and see what you like. I liked this one because it has a longer handle and the drill part is far enough away from my hand to make me feel more comfortable. And its cute
Thanks for responding
