Christmas anyone?
So the holidays are coming up and I am getting really excited. H and I have set aside a nice little nest egg to use on Christmas so we have asked for some things we normally would not. Each year we make a list for the other of what we want so that they can get us things we actually want. We still always venture off that list but this just helps.
I am starting to work on mine and well I have 3 things on there that's it!!! H had like 300 things on his. I have no idea what I want so I come to you. What is it that you want this year?
Re: Christmas anyone?
I always draw a huge blank when people ask what I want... So I made a Pinterest board for it ;p

I want a new sofa. H is having a hard time justifying spending $1300 on the one I want, and I can understand the hesitation. But I prefer to buy hand-American made when we can versus machine-Chinese made.
I also want a new lens for my camera (200mm+) but I'll probably get that for myself anyway.
I have no idea this year. We just bought a new fridge, that came today!!! I think that should be a birthday/Christmas present since the darn thing cost both arm and leg. I do need/want a new watch and new slippers. Wow....that's a sad list.
Now Hubby can go on and on about all the things that he wants. How is that possible?
I would honestly love to get gift cards to my favorite stores. I hate spending money on myself, so I like getting gift cards and then picking out my "gifts" myself haha.
H has made it pretty clear that he'll be getting me an IPad for Christmas. It's not something I need at all, but he has one and loves it. I'll ocassionally use his and I'm always lugging my laptop around, so he wants to get me one for myself.
I'd also love a new pair of fuzzy slippers
I'm thinking I want a Clarisonic. We'll see, though!
I always thought this shirt was hilarious, although I've never pulled the trigger and bought it for H.

I have no idea what I want for Christmas. Actually I told H that I want a coffee table for the living room but he said no way is that going to my Christmas gift lol. I agree with PP, I enjoy getting giftcards!
I don't know what to get H this year either...we are on a budget to pay off debt so we know our gifts aren't going be extravagant or anything.
I've already started thinking of gifts for family and just bought our two nephews a couple of lego sets that are on sale at Target this week...yay!
Some days I just want to be like: Please donate to my student loan fund because that is what I really want gone from my life...
But, that's not Christmas. Haha. H and I are glad to be married so we can finally justify joint gifts. We're asking for a new GPS and then we have a few odd items we could both use.
In terms of shopping for others--I have a list going and I've already started. I LOVE Christmas shopping.
i really really really really really REALLY want a Silhouette Cameo but it's almost $300 so i doubt it's gonna happen. lol
we're really busting our butts to pay my student loans down and save up some more because i want to make babies soon :-P
i love the idea of having a pinterest board of things you want, i usually draw a blank too when people ask.
