What is on your Christmas wish list for yourself?

My husband and I haven't exchanged gifts for the last few years, we usually just buy for the kids and do a few small stocking stuffers. But I went back to work F/T a few months ago so we'll be doing gifts this year! However my husband hates to shop so I usually get myself what I want and wrap it and just put it under the tree, I'm not big on surprises lol :D

So far on my wishlist is a pair of BEARPAW boots (which Amazon delivered today lol) and a Keurig though if $$$ were no object Santa would have a Canon 5D Mark III and 135L lens for me under the tree too :w00t:
 
I only had 2 major things on my wish list...an iPad mini and a new pair of sneakers (which will cost about $150). I got the iPad Mini.
 
I'm wanting a filter & a diffuser for my camera. Also found a purse that I would like, and sent hubby the link to it, but doubt he'll get it. LOL I've also asked him for the same 2 movies since we got married 8 years ago and he hasn't managed to get them yet.

Fiesta Bowl tickets!! :thumbup: That is IF my team wins this week. (I probably just jinxed it. :p) 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. ;)

OMG!! Dh and I aren't exchanging gifts this year because we're giving each other a BOWL TRIP instead! :) We will have to meet up if we both get to go! :) :) :)

So that takes care of our gifts. :) I have asked my mom & dad for a new set of everyday dishes so I can't wait to get those. :)
 
Im asking for money for christmas and my birthday which is 2 days after. Im going to put it all together to get an Canon T3i with the 18-135 mm lens.

Other things I want but wont get are: ipad mini, mac laptop, and an iphone 5.
 
We're doing stocking this year, we also had to get a new tv Julie, ours bit the dust. So thats our big gift.
 
I honestly didn't have anything on my list until today, after I visited my favorite yarn store. I've always wanted a set of interchangeable bamboo knitting needles, so that's now on my list. They're very pricy, but I'm tired of having a drawer full of needles and NOT having the correct one for a project!

That, and renewed subscriptions for Mary Jane's Farm and Hobby Home Farm. Love those magazines!
 
I don't have a wishlist! I wish I did though!

However, we did just buy a new fancy minivan and we're getting new countertops in the near future, so that's kind of our Christmas. We usually don't do a whole lot for each other, but some things!
 
We don't usually buy each other big presents since we're spending on the kids during the holidays. In reality, I'll probably ask DH for a small visa gift card that I can spend here and on Kindle books. My parents will give me money which I'll save toward a new computer. (My current laptop is fine, but past experience suggests I'll probably need a new one in a year or so). For my "dream" list I'd have: a photography class (something local, since I won't follow through on a self-paced or online class), a 50 mm lens, and an iphone.
 
I still need to give hubs a list. I asked my mom for a new robe (a nice fluffy, soft one) and a Pandora bead to add to my bracelet, I also want a new silver (not real silver) ice bucket, a programable crock pot, perfume (still need to decide what kind), an infinity scarf and I need a new briefcase/bag for work. I really, really want my XM radio turned back on a year would be the whole budget for me (and some of hubs). I want to get my husband a laptop but I'm not sure what to buy.

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 :)

My hubby hasn't done a stocking for me in probably 10 years! My mom still gives me one though. :wub:

Juli we just got 6m of Sirius for $25 (the 14ish/month pkg)..ours expired and we went without for a few months...and they sent me an email to renew for like $50 and i ignored it..and they sent another for 25 a few weeks later lol

Do you check the email on file with them? They might have some specials on their website too...keep checking! Sometimes too you can call and ask if they have any specials..I think Laura got hers renewed for 50% off the whole year
 
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. :)

Really? thanks for the tip - my daughter's car has it and we all pack into her car just to enjoy it....but I hate the price since well it is not in my car! :)

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.

THIS! A thoughtfully filled stocking would make my whole year!

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.
 
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 :crying:

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 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!)

I have a Pandora bracelet that I got for Christmas from DH a couple years ago. I love it, it's beautiful - BUT, it didn't work out the way I expected it to. I ASSUMED that when he and the kids would buy me charms for it for birthdays, christmas, etc. that they would buy MATCHING ones to the ones I already have. But uhh no... they don't... they buy whatever they feel like buying, and while they are super pretty and I always love them, I find I don't wear my bracelet as much because, well... cause it doesn't all match. So I have to take off some of my charms sometimes if I want it to be matchy. But I love it anyhow :wub:
 
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 :p 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 :p
 
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! :thumbup: 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. :hugs:

So, are you going Mary?? Oregon vs. Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl! Of course I'm rooting for Oregon. :thumbup: And l'm looking forward to watching Oregon State (my son's college) in the Alamo Bowl!

We are working on it! I'm waiting for my niece to decide is she is going. She just moved from Manhattan (KS, where K-State is), to California less than a month ago. I'm hoping she and her boyfriend can drive over for the bowl game. They went to all the home games while they lived there (they both graduated from KSU too). His job is sending him to Ireland for 2 weeks so they are waiting for the dates. I still want to go if they don't, but of course want to get tickets with them if they are coming. My niece went to the Fiesta Bowl the last time KSU played in 2004. I happened to be back in Joplin, MO at the time so she just got me a shirt. :)

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! :thumbup:

I hope you get to go!

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!
