Your Christmas Wishlist

What's on your wishlist?

Other than clothes, and new towels, I honestly can't think of anything that I want or need.  I'm hesitant to get house stuff until we're in our new house.  I don't really have time for reading or hobbies.  I guess I'm pretty boring! 

I'm also struggling for ideas for my future SIL--we live too far apart for me to know her very well and my brother is no help with ideas. 

What's on your list?  Maybe it will get my brain moving.

Re: Your Christmas Wishlist

  • I asked for a yoga mat, a compost container, a mattress pad (wooo!) and some plastic plates for outside eating (cause fiestaware is too heavy for that).

    Is your SIL in a cold climate? Nice gloves, or a throw, or scarf are always a nice gift to receive. Or slippers.  I like things that are soft and make me warm :o

  • I'm not getting anything this year! DH is usually the only one who buys for me, and we decided to skip gifts for each other this year. I picked up a few things from the Gap around my birthday, and I'm constantly buying stuff for the house now, so there isn't much I need right now.

    PS -- very cute sig pic!!

  • 2 new nailpolishes (Essie's LimoScene and OPI's I'm not really a waitress), a laundry sorter (super exciting, right?), some new open cardigan sweaters, Bath & BOdy Works hand soaps, Amazon gift card (for my kindle), starbucks gift card.

    I did pick up an infinity scarf and some nail polish--that's also what I'm giving the kids' daycare teachers.  A throw is a good idea. They do live wher it is cold.

  • are they getting married soon? I feel like all I've done is post about this but that paper Coterie site has these memory keepers..... I got SIL one when my niece was born. They were way nicer in person. Nice size. And they extended their cyber monday 50% off everything sale to today. You could do a family one for her.

  • Oh and as for me.... I asked for a new steeler jersey (my Hines is looking OLD), nail polish, new vera purse, stand for my ipad so if I am making a recipe it will sit on stand, what else.....

    Maybe a gift card to were you get your hair cut/colored?

     did you see this stand/rack for your ipad?  I just ordered one for John last night - the giveaway is for the stand & ipad2.  Looks pretty nice & good reviews.  John has a stand that is like the ones for plates but I think this will be better b/c its off of the counter.

    No official plans yet--but they had a baby in July--so that's a great gift!

    O I do like that one... I will have to pass this along to my mom who was going to order for me. :)

  • My list is pretty boring this year...I asked for a few pandora charms, a kettlebell/medicine ball set, gift cards to iTunes/Barnes & Noble/Spa, a watch band thingie for my ipod nano, new scarf/gloves/hat.  I think DH and I might do one of those monthly date night envelope things that has been on Pinterest.
  • A BluRay player and subscription to NetFlix, Jo Malone cologne, and cute velvet ballet style slippers from Boden.

  • Parka from Madewell,a winter hat and hedgehog measuring cups from Anthropologie, a slouchy cashmere sweater to wear with my sequin skirt Stick out tongue, a new purse, rose gold bracelet.
  • I honestly struggled with this this year because of focusing on the baby being due Christmas Day! DH got a weekend trip away and a chest freezer (he says it's not a gift him but to US, but considering I would have rather had a full fridge for the garage, versus the chest freezer, and he's been wanting this for a couple of years, I say it's HIS gift!). I asked for a set of every day dishes, as the plates I have right now are all Dollar Store and probably 10 yrs old! Otherwise, we've bought a few things for the house in the past 2 months, including an electric fireplace and a new kitchen table, so I think that will be it. Sometime after the baby is born, I would like a birthstone added to my Mother's necklace.
