I have expensive wants...and I won't be getting most of my wishlist (which is fine because ... well, it's expensive!). My hubby is getting me a new PC with dual monitors (we have the monitors, just need a PC that will support them, plus my computer is old and nearly full!). So that's my gift.
Other things I would love are an 85mm lens, a smart phone (in April, I hope!), a Project Life Core Kit (I'm totally going for it in 2013!), a new set of kitchen knives, and gift cards for here and Barnes & Noble for my scrapping & book addictions. OH! And a breadmaker. And to have my basement finished.

My mom and my dad do one for me. They are both just small little things, but its one of my favorite parts of Christmas, too, for some reason.

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.

We don't even hang a stocking for DH and I. I just got mine from my childhood a few years ago.
Plus, we don't do any kind of gift in the boys' stockings that cost much money. I'd rather wrap every little thing and put them under the tree. So the stockings just have candy, toothbrush and paste, and maybe a few things from the dollar store. Even gift cards get wrapped and tucked into the tree - the boys, even at their ages, love finding gifts in the tree. |

I asked for a dSLR video how-to book and a Pandora bracelet and charms. (I hope that one I have the bracelet, hubby can just get me charms to add on each year. They're so lovely!)

My poor hubby is terrible at gift giving...always has been. It used to really hurt my feelings but he's so amazing in so many other ways that gifts just don't seem important anymore. I do feel bad for my girls though when my stocking is empty every year and they feel bad for me. lol Here's my wish list...
CS6 for Mac (just got a Macbook a few months ago but I'm still using CS3 on my laptop) new pots & pans Kitchen Aid mixer (this has been on my list every year since we got married, almost 20 years ago lol) remote for my camera GCs to SSD THIS little guy iTunes GCs new ring (since I too lost my wedding ring a year ago I know I won't get even half of that stuff, and I'll probably end up buying for myself, but a girl can dream, right?

I never know what I want. I like that Nate Berkus book that is out, a yoga mat, any decorative stuff at Chapters and frames from Ikea to hang more family photos around the house.

I put small gifts in the tree too! I love the look. I think my tree looks so sad without them!

I already know I won't be getting any of the things on my wishlist.
A 12-qt (or bigger) stock pot, an iPad, a new pair of boots (*George Strait* Camo ones by Justin), new kitchen knife, matching furniture, Mossy oak seat covers for front and back seats and a CD player that actually works in my truck, a weekend all to myself to use sometime during the next year

I asked for a Shark Steam Mop which my mom bought and I'm asking DH for the light scoop.
I give the kids each $5 and take them to the target $ spot and they buy stuff for my stocking and they fill it. Just an idea for those of you that have to fill your own. I love my stocking.

The hubs already got me mine--an honest-to-goodness desk with drawers and shelves, etc I'm so ridiculously happy because I've been working on the dining table all this time! But now I really feel like I have my own workspace. We could finally get it because we sold two other old tables of ours that was just taking up so much space in our tiny condo.
...and I always welcome new sheets or GCs to scrapbooking stores |

I want:
**Silhouette Cameo (would be great for work!) **Eye-Fi card (Dh won't get one, says they get bad reviews) **Kindle Paperwhite (I want one, but, really, I barely have time to read so my Kindle Touch isn't getting much use as it is) **Nexus 7 (It is much more in my price range than an iPad mini and I want a small tablet) **Roku (we got an RCA device to stream Netflix and Hulu on Black Friday and it works okay... I still kinda want a Roku though, not sure why) **50mm lens for my Nikon In reality, these are just things I mentioned to DH. I don't know what he plans to get me and since we're on a tight budget, I really don't care. I got him a new video card for his computer. I bought it when it was on sale with a coupon attached so I got it early and since the site has a 30 day return policy, I gave it to him early so that he could make sure it works. He loves it and gets excited every time he logs in to his WOW game. The biggest gift though... for both of us.... another $1K credit card paid off for Christmas! I am beyond excited that we have been able to buy gifts for everyone already AND will be able to pay off a credit card and put a good chunk on to the next bill on our list before Christmas. That's the best present EVER, seriously!! Stockings - We buy for one another's stocking. Santa fills the kids' stockings and we fill each others. The kids help. DH is pretty good at the stocking thing. We've done stockings since our first Christmas together 19 years ago. It's our favorite part, really. And since we're all friends here... we also do an 'adult' stocking. We started this tradition quite a while back. I have this super big stocking that was mine as a kid. We use it for 'our' stocking and we each buy things to put in it. On Christmas Eve, after the kids have gone to bed, we open the gifts from the stocking together. It sure helps keep the spark there. |

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.

I would love a trip to the salon for a cut/color/mani/pedi, and some new clothes.

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:

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

When your kids get older maybe they will help him. My 14 yo is in charge of mine, DH just takes her shopping and lets her get what I'll like.
