I am probably buying myself new sleep pants, scrap stuff and a remote for my camera. I almost always buy my own stuff and wrap it. LOL

I had a pair of earrings that I wore everyday. I took them out to soak and my kids dumped the cup down the drain. So I want a new pair of small hoop earrings. That is all.
ETA: and some Brittney Spears Midnight Fantasy perfume, because it smells so yummy but I am too cheap(or poor) just to buy it.

I actually work REALLY HARD to NOT buy myself anything for Christmas. Jordan still buys me my presents, and I give he and my parents a kaboodle list to choose from. :)

High on my list are:
big fluffy robe
lightroom
tamron 28-70mm f/2.8
bind-it-all

In dream world where money is never ending - a Rebel

In the real world, probably nothing :(

Everything I want is too pricey, so probably nothing :(

Oh, I do have the Twilight series on its way, but I will read that before Christmas.

I've asked for either a 50mm lens for the D40 I am hoping to get next month or the new Scott Adams Dilbert collection that includes a CD with every one of the 6500 strips he has done. ($85!)

There is also this craft bag I would like that has about 2 dozen pockets in it but I can't find the link to it.

Already done. DH and I just bought ourselves a new computer. :)

We don't exchange gifts or buy ourselves anything for Christmas anymore, we'd rather spend the $$ we do have on the kids instead. We usually wait until tax refund time in early February and then we splurge & get ourselves something we've been wanting, for me it will most likely be an external flash and a new lens for my XTi!!

The kids are getting a Wii, so I will probably get myself a Wii Fit :)

I have asked for a new EHD, (pink). Nothing else, I want some clothes, but I'm not buying anything because I gained so much weight, I'm a fat slob, and I refuse to buy anything.

Tony always buys my gifts and wraps them, he's very thoughtful at Christmas, and keeps in mind things I've mentioned. I'm lucky, I know this.

a new backup camera maybe...

An external flash (but I have a feeling that Santa bought it already and is giving it to me soon)

WiiFit

a new cell phone (this is a need because mine is dying a slow death)

We alternate big gifts every year and since I got the camera and computer last year. It is hubby's turn this year. He is getting a pistol, gun safe and an ipod.

Nothing just for "me", everything will be for the baby this year. :)

My wireless optical mouse if slowly dying (it is like 6 years old) so I told DH that a Bamboo Fun tablet would be a nice gift to get from Santa!!! :D :D

I really, really, really, really want the TOtally Rad photo actions. I'm debating if I should get them for myself. :)

Oooooh Samara......I forgot about that! Hmmm.......

I'm hoping I can get a new camera. **fingers and toes crossed**

Nothing much. I don't need any big ticket items because I got a new computer and camera last year. (I got them near the holidays because that's when the good sales were, but they were long-planned purchases rather than holiday presents.) My parents usually give me cash for Hanukkah, and that funds my digi-supply buying for a few months.

Brittney Spears Midnight Fantasy perfume.

Hmmm, will have to check this out. I have the "Fantasy" perfume by Brittany (which smells very good)and didn't know there was another one.

I will give my DH a list of things I want, I won't be buying myself anything. I did that for too many years and I hate it. LOL!

A baby girl :) (hee hee)

I need a new scanner...Avery dropped some coins inside mine and now it won't work and it's old so it's a good excuse to get a new one. Brian and I usually don't really exchange gifts...we may this year since he's been gone but really the baby is taking precedence over everything this year lol

Well, no money so I'm thinking I'm just going to shoot for a better attitude, LOL!!!

Hubby and I always buy a few gifts for each other... his list has nothing but mine has a bunch of little things I've been needing/wanting that I won't buy myself.

I asked my mom for a font. :) Not getting it for myself, but still a great idea I think!

Yep, that sounds about like here! I don't get myself anything...although when DH asks (and he will), I have a few thoughts. We MIGHT get a new TV if we can get a good deal on a flat screen, and if we do that, then that is Christmas and anniversary for both of us. If not, then I think I'd like a nice pair of studs (diamond ones ppl, get your minds out of the gutter ROFL). If anyone in the family asks what I want, I'm telling them digi GC's...we'll see if they actually do it LOL.

I just got an ipod, so that's my gift to myself.

Either an iPod (either the new Nano or the Touch) or the WiiFit. That's all I want. Not sure if I will get either, depends how much is left after buying the kids their stuff.

I got myself the set of Uglies (http://www.scottwesterfeld.com/books/uglies.htm) books and I'm getting the Twilight soundtrack soon too.

I also would like the wii fit. It will give me something good to do at nap time and loose some of this "baby weight". (lol baby is 1 1/2 :o )

I would really like this camera bag:

It is actually a business expense for me for my photography business, so I should just buy it, but I'm having trouble getting over the price tag. I just have so many lenses for my business that I have outgrown my TracyJoy.

I want to get the kiddos a Wii so I can get Wii Fit by DH says no because we already have the PS2.......what is wrong with these men anyway??? We may buy a new tv though. We have been browsing but that is is so far!!! I also really want more memory for my lappy and another EHD, but smaller that the beast I have now!!!

I collect the Father Christmas ornaments from Hallmark, so I already got that. Money is tight (what's new? :p), so I think my dh will be good, but hopefully will not go overboard. If money was not an option, I would LOVE a new iMac, a speed light, and a Wii with the yoga bundle. Maybe next year :)

A new camera-Cannon 40D or 50D
IPOD Touch
