Gift list ideas -- WWNW (what would nesties want?)

My mom was fussing at me yesterday for having so little on my Amazon wish list.  She's right -- I really don't have a lot.  Over half of what is on there is for the kids or DH.  I have a book or two I would like and just added a couple Christmas CDs and a couple cookbooks.  But beyond that and what else was on my list, I don't have much.  Cookie sheet, new cookware, new pizza cutter, DVD of an old movie, gloves -- uh and then I kind of peter out.  I really need some new clothes but that involves me going out and shopping and trying things on so doesn't suit my mom's need to buy something to wrap on top of the check she sent us.

So what you are all asking for Christmas?

Re: Gift list ideas -- WWNW (what would nesties want?)

  • I asked for photo albums (we have no printed pics so my goal next year is to start actually printing out pictures), a new jacket, a few sweaters, a few books, and some giftcards.

  • My list sounds about as exciting as yours. I asked for (from my parents, MIL, BIL & FIL):

    8" chef knife
    3 kindle books
    crockpot
    pizza stone
    spatulas
    Soda Stream
    yoga pants from Old Navy
    Fleece half zip pull over
    Bissel steam & sweep

    Seeing as how my parents would normally wipe out the entire list themselves, I got harassed a lot for more things. . . but I just don't need anything right now (well, nothing that can be purchased. DH getting a job would be awesome). I feel your pain!

    No more baby siggie pics. Boo.

  • I don't have a Christmas wish list because we  don't exchange adult gifts other than just small token gift in the $10 range and letting N pick out and buy a small gift for the adults he loves.  But things on my current plan to buy for myself list are:  a raspberry colored fleece jacket, a raspberry and black water proof ski parka, a small rice steamer, a new set of pots and pans,  a new vacuum cleaner, and an electric, flat surface grill.

  • I wanted some pajama shorts and thermal tops. I literally haven't bough pajamas in years and theyre getting sad. I sent dh some links from the Aerie website since they're having a 40% off sale plus free shipping. I want the Urban Decay Naked palette, which would be over budget for dh to get me but after using a gift card, a coupon, and returning something, it'll cost $10. I want OPI muppet nail polish in Warm And Fozzie. Finally, I want those lululemon-ish pants from Costco if I can find them. I couldn't really think of any books since I get them all from the library and have a tattered cover gift card. I guess I'm having an MM Christmas with all these discounts!

  • Perfume? Make up set a la Sephora?

  • Is your mom just sending stuff?  If so, I'd put clothes from stores you like on there.  You can always return if they don't fit right--most stores let you return online stuff in the stores.

    How about blankets?  Slippers?  Gift cards to restaurants for date nights?  I put some stuff like memberships to museums or the zoo on my list.  It's for the kids, too, but it's nice for me as well.  Mazagine subscriptions?

  • I'm struggling to think of stuff as well.  Here are some of things:

    Owl Jewelry Tree:  http://www.target.com/p/Owl-Jewelry-Tree/-/A-13711052

    Light wool socks

    PJ pants

    gift cards - I also desperately need clothes for all occassions

    I also need new pots & pans but they don't really fit into anyone's budget because I want nice all clad or calphalon.

    battery for my laptop

    the new Nikon 1 digital camera since my DH lost my in a Nevada desert.
