What is on your Christmas wish list for yourself?
I generally don't do wish lists for myself. I feel like those that buy gifts for me know me well enough to just know what I like and don't like, need or don't need, etc. Im a pretty open book with those close to me, so why do they keep asking me for a dang wish list. LOL!
What is on your list?

I'm asking hubby for a simple infinity ring.. we were just looking at them a couple minutes ago. Just something really small/inexpensive etc. I lost my wedding band earlier this year

Ohh infinity rings are pretty! That stinks that you lost your wedding band Kristin. How did you do that? My friend lost hers this past Spring as well, she was gardening. So it's somewhere in her garden. We have looked and looked for it but no luck thus far.

Ohh no! :-( So maybe it's in the house somewhere and you will find it....like the day you move out and find it under a china hutch or something... thats good and bad all at the same time!

I have a light scoop just sitting if you're interested, Laura It was for my Canon 40d but now that I have a 5d (no popup flash), I can't use the light scoop. I'm saving up to buy an external flash. PM if you want it

I live in the dark I suppose... I have never heard of a Kindle paperwhite. Kindle yes, I got my DD one for Christmas a couple years ago... but paperwhite? My daughters Kindle is most likely a paperWEIGHT at this point, she's been to busy to use it lately.

Kristin... I lost my wedding band.... TWICE. Which pretty much means I will never get a fancy one ever again. The first band was likely tossed in the garbage. I wore it to bed and took it off in the middle of the night. We think it fell into the little garbage basket next to my nightstand. It was never seen again. The replacement band was lost at the beach. I took it off because I was making a sandcastle and the sand was jamming inside of it. I shoved it in my swimsuit next to girl #1 and obviously she wasn't big enough because it fell out at some point.
I have an inexpensive band from Brighton right now. It looks flashy, but if I lose it I won't cry. |

Hubby spoiled me throughout the year in lots of ways, so my iPad Mini is my Christmas gift even though I've already had it for almost a month.

Oh... right... this thread is about Christmas wishes!!!
I bought something I've always wanted yesterday on Amazon.com: an ice cream maker! It was one of their lightning deals and I just BOUGHT IT. Like, in 5 minutes! Craziness!!! I've never done that before. It's kind of a gift for the whole family. If DH doesn't notice it on our bill it will be a surprise under the tree from Santa to all of us. I know better than to have any specific Christmas wishes. What I really want is to see snow. I'm hoping DH can get a Friday off in December so we can drive up to NC or somewhere snowy for a weekend getaway. Maybe go sledding, throw snow balls, and make snow angels. |

well I wanted an iPhone 5, but I just ordered us (me, DH and DD) brand new Samsung Galaxy S3's last night.....so Merry Christmas to the 3 of us! but realistically I would just like to have my DH fill my stocking with some of my favorite things (chocolates, perfume, GC's, etc) ......that would totally make me happy!
eta: opening my stocking and having it filled with all of my favorites is my absolute favorite part of Christmas Last edited by nun69; 11-27-2012 at 03:13 PM. |

Same here! I get really frustrated every year because I fill all 5 of the kids' stockings and Chris' stocking, but he never fills mine! I got after him about it a couple times, so then he threw a deoderant and a lip gloss in there one time LOL. Seriously, he just won't do it, and it drives me batty. I guess I don't really care about the stuff in it as much as the fact that the kids are always like, oh poor mommy, I'll give you some of my candy since you didn't get any!! Sometimes I put stuff in my own just so that it has stuff in it, but I hate doing that. Last year mine was completely empty in the morning. I just don't think he gets it for some reason.

I don't have very many wants or needs. DD always shops for me herself on one of her trips to the mall with friends around this time of the year. She saves up some of her money that she makes for mowing lawns in the summer and other things. I always tell her to spend no more than $20 and she always comes up with something great
This year I told my 2 sisters and my son that I want SSD GC's Seriously, what could be better than having a chunk of change to spend here!?! I'm going to do the December challenges and use the GC's when I get my SR's. My parents bought me 2 tires for my car last week because I needed them before snow flies and things have been really tight, so that was really nice of them. As a present to myself and Cheyanne I bought our annual tickets to the Nutcracker - a tradition for us every December. I got those during the summer and stashed them away. |

LOL! Yeah! Close to the Tennessee line there's snow. I was thinking we could drive to Beech Mountain (13 hour drive for us) and go tubing there. Or if there's lots of snow on the ground we can just pick a town closer, find a popular hill at some park and sled. We usually go to NY for Christmas so I am a little sad I'll be missing out on seeing snow. It makes it really feel like Christmas.

Over the year I find stuff and send it to hubby saying... "if you need a gift idea for me..." And then I forgot that i asked for it and I'm surprised every time until hubby is like, "you know, you send that to me in May.." Sometimes having a really bad memory is great...
I would love a new mac laptop... but hubby is getting a PC laptop for christmas... He really needs one for his class next semester... and the one he has been using, the screen continues to get darker and darker... I just don't know how he can using it.... so there went my computer budget money.

I would like a huge box of chocolates, not eating chocolate whilst dieting is killing me now that the shops are just so full of naughty food! and an iPad. Not sure I'll get my iPad as Mam and Dad (Santa!) don't understand why I would need a newish Laptop, an old laptop that I leave plugged in on my crafting desk and my iPhone as well as an iPad. I am working on persuading them
And ........ if this thread is about unrealistic christmas lists I'd like a husband and a baby ! |

We just bought a new Kia SUV...so I don't think we are getting big things for Christmas!
On the small side...one of my favorite things about Christmas is looking through a new cookbook or cooking magazine all curled up on the couch!

Fiesta Bowl tickets!! That is IF my team wins this week. (I probably just jinxed it. ) But honestly we have never done anything like that so if K-State wins, they'll go to the Fiesta Bowl and DH and I will try to go this time. And I'm hoping against hope that they practice at our high school like Oklahoma did last year. That would be so fun!
Otherwise, I already bought myself the iPhone 5 and that's my gift. |

OK, since you live in OR, you get a pass for rooting for them. But aren't they OSU's rival? I'm now crossing my fingers big time that they practice at our high school since OK did last year. It's right in our neighborhood and we live 1/2 mile from it and that would be so cool! |

Yes, OSU and Oregon are big time rivals, but we root for Oregon in all their games (except the Civil War game vs. OSU). It's good to see our state do well in football! |

That's how we are also. If K-State is out of it but Kansas is still in something, I root for them (like basketball almost every year!). Same with ASU (DH's alma mater and Grant's college) and Arizona.

We're coming Mary!!!
We got our tickets through K-State so we are IN! We were hoping to fly, but with flights running around $600, it looks like it's going to be a road trip instead. I'm still crossing my fingers that something cheaper will open up but it's doubtful. We'll be making the trip with my sister and her husband and I can't wait! Quote:

There is really nothing at all that Im just really wanting. There are a few things that I wouldn't mind to have I suppose, but its nothing that I would be totally excited about.
I suppose maybe this is why they keep asking me for a wish list - if I can't figure it out for myself how could they possibly do it for me? LOL. Ive been given a deadline... by this weekend I have to have come up with a list. *insert eye roll here!* LeeAndra, those are really cute!

Well, I keep asking Santa for a baby but this is year 7 of that and it hasn't happened yet, so we shall see.
On the realistic side: eye-fi card, new cutting boards, a couple books I want, bath salts(I take a bath almost ngihtly lol), new mousepad, bluay DVD player with wi-fi enabled so we can watch netflix and hulu easily.

I want an iphone, a wacom tablet, a zoom for my nikon, and a laptop. Oh and an EHD. Easy to please, huh? I won't get any of it though - me and Chris rarely get eachother much at Christmas because we have all the kids and then family to buy for, so we usually go for Valentine's day for the bigger stuff.

i want a silhouette portrait (or cameo. the portrait is just smaller). and new pots and pans and a good set of kitchen knives (which is not happening, i think we'll just end up registering for them when we get married). i haven't even thought about christmas gifts yet. to be honest, i'm not looking forward to christmas very much (it's the first one since my grama died, and i know we're all gonna be a mess).
i'm pretty sure my mom'll send me an email saying "grampa wants to know what you want for christmas..." soon. so i'll link him to the portrait. |

I never have a wishlist. EVER. This year I have managed to think of two things I want but I am sure it won't happen. (I always have expensive wants. LOL)
Canon 5d Mark ii w/ 50mm lens and possibly an external flash to go with it Kindle paperwhite (had my kindle 2 for 4 years now and it is slowly dying on me. Of course, I have used it EVERY day that I have had it. LOL) Of course, I would be thrilled with Giftcards to SSD, Amazon or B&H Photo. |

I always put a GC for here, persnickety, and amazon on my list... but no one ever buys those! lol This year, I put a 50mm lens, a cute camera strap cover, bath & body works stuff, and some jewelry from stella & dot that I saw at a party and didn't want to dish out the money for. I was going to find a new purse to put on my list but never got around to it.

I'd love a camera upgrade (I'm using a 5 year old canon Rebel XT), but I know that will never happen so I asked Santa for a heart rate monitor!!!

I wanted an iPad for Christmas as a family gift, but I think we might be getting a new TV instead. Bummer for me, since I don't watch TV. Our old TV is having trouble and I think the tube is about to blow out. (yep, it's like 20 years old).
If I wishing for things that I know I won't be getting, I'd wish for new pots and pans. I want to get away from having non-stick ones since they say they aren't healthy. Also new kitchen knives since mine are like 20 years old and very beat up. But hopefully I get a few things in my stocking. I would wish for Philosophy body washes (especially cherry scents), ear muffs, perfume (Pink Sugar), and a cell phone holder for the car. |
