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?

  • My two front teeth!

    fun fact: my sister knocked out her two front teeth way early, so she asked for that a couple times.

  • I asked for a pasta attachment for our kitchen aid so we can make pasta, some movies, and some containers at Bed Bath and Beyond that I love.  I'd love for someone to get me a super nice camera, but that is kind of outside everyone's budgets for Christmas.
  • 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.

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • 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.

    I just blow my hairdryer on the curler for a few seconds and that does the trick.

  • 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 two front teeth!

    fun fact: my sister knocked out her two front teeth way early, so she asked for that a couple times.
    My sister also lost her two front teeth right before christmas.  I was sister susie, and my dad delighted in playing that damn song over and over that year.

    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.

  • All I want is a Kindle (if H doesn't give me his one from deployment), Amazon gift cards and my favorite pajama pants from Victoria's Secret.

  • 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 :) H and I actually looked at something similar and contemplated buying it but when I borrowed a friends, it wasn't powerful enough for our intended projects. I think we're just going to have to bite the bullet and get one of those really nice ones, dangit.
