For me...
1. Engagement ring (totally not going to happen)
2. MadMen season 3

Ah nothing beats 24 hours of the christmas story on TBS =)

Also hoping for an engagement ring, not sure if i will get it over the holidays or not.
My little brother is in town for the holidays and i asked him to paint something for my living room...

other than that i am just looking forward to family time, tons of food, time off work and drinks with friends.

Charlotte Denon wants a Tiffany engagement ring and for her boyfriend to stop dragging his feet and commit already.

1.) House- Nope
2.) New job- Nope again
3.) Kitchenaid Mixer- Ordered it with FI's credit card and is now sitting in his mom's bedroom.

I kind of want a condenser microphone and windscreen, but no one knows I want it. Maybe I'll get another Amazon card for Christmas, so I can get them. (I have a nifty box that turns my laptop into a mini recording studio, and my dynamic mic isn't cutting it.)

I also wanted Rock Band 3, but I got that for my b-day last week.

PaigeMcC

I had to think hard about gifts this year.  The one thing I want is a house but that's not going to happen. So yeah... *shrug*

esp the bbgun.

sparkles88

I want a kitten! That will not happen. Alternative presents include a fondue set or Despicable Me on DVD. I think BF may have bought the movie for me.

Daisy125

I know the e-ring is not happening, so my wish list is...

1. a vacation with my BF
2. a new pair of glasses
3. art supplies
4. to see my family soon

mana8503

2. Wii Fit

I've wanted one of these for about 5 years. My mom has one and she's promised when I get married or get a house (whichever comes first) she's giving me one! It's not the only reason I want to get engaged, but it's a motivating factor for sure. </div>

mana8503

Daisy - haha my mom now wants one, wish she would promise me one!  It's not even the top 500 reasons why I want to get engaged (thus the joking to make sure people knew I wasn't serious).  I just can't drop a few hundred dollars on a mixer when I have NO IDEA where to put it in my 1 bedroom apt.  Maybe when/if we get a house, I might get it for myself.  I don't think I could ask people to spend that on me for a gift.

meamolly

1. e-ring (not going to happen)
2. all the laundry cleaned (yep not gonna happen)
3. anything at all (not gonna happen,did i mention BF has no money to spare this month?)

mookow86

1. To see BF again after five months away. In Asia, no less
2. Travel pillow for trip (see #1)
3. Chocolateeeeee

heyimbren

I'm still waiting on the pony I've been asking for since I was probably about 3. BF told me it won't fit in my backyard

Hmmm I like sweaters. And a new backpack and scarf. The backpack will make me incredibly happy since my school bag is now falling apart and I finally found a replacement I love.

 Do share? Clicky for book bag? There is no such thing as a small backyard.

You deserve a Christmas present if you want one.  If he can't afford something, that's fine.  But he should be giving you SOMETHING.  It isn't about the money - it's about the thought.  Coupons for services (foot massage, clean the kitchen, 1 complain-free night watching a romantic comedy, etc.)  costs nothing and is thoughtful.  Or an awesome love letter, letting you know all the reasons he loves you.  Or a homemade candlelit dinner.  Or cleaning all that laundry and folding it and putting it away.

Tell that man of yours to put his thinking cap on and come up with something - it doesn't have to cost a penny, but you need to raise the bar here.  Don't settle for less than you deserve - EVER!  And while I'm sure there are things that are great about your guy, nearly everything you've posted about him makes me think that you forgive a lot of things he does that hurt your feelings.  Raise the bar, sweetie.  You deserve it.

A girl in my HR class has the same one in a different colour so I was happy to see it in person.

My falling apart bag is a well-loved Givenchy. But after 3 years of carrying a laptop and books in it, the straps are starting to tear.

1.) Cotton Bowl tickets (not gonna happen though I would be super excited to go)
2.) Gift card to Old Navy - they have some awesome maternity clothes that I want to get
3.) Laptop

Molly - I agree with Cate. There are tons of little things he can do that don't cost anything like cleaning the house, washing and folding laundry, breakfast in bed, etc. I hope he surprises you with at least a little something - you deserve it.

jacquiroxx

1. An e-ring. Won't happen, and I've already made my list of 3 reasons it won't happen so I don't get my hopes too far up. 2. A Kindle. Please? 3. A Kindle case. The apple green leather one with no light.

I am seriously in love with my Kitcheaid!!! It's so fun to make stuff in it <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />.

For me for Christmas
1. A new camera since ours broke about 6 months ago.
2. A bedroom set (not gonna happen)
3. A firebox for important documents (I'm so boring)

tiffk10

1) My e-ring - a possibility but I'm not counting any chickens

2) an e-reader - preferably a nook color

3) gift cards - I love to shop, especially when I'm not the one paying for it

4) for my family to not kill each other - my divorced grandparents on my dads side are going to spend Christmas with us this year. Should be interesting. I will more then likely end up playing the buffer this year. But other than hoping everyone plays nice I am really excited to see them both at the same time. 

Sosteadilygo

I would like a Wii, a bathrobe and good windshield wipers! I don't think the Wii is going to happen, but I can dream. :0)

CFar13

1. a new zip up hoodie
2. some new clothes/sweaters
3. gift cards to buy new clothes :]
4. sheets for the new mattress I'll be getting

I'm really not good at asking for things and I tend to just buy myself things when I want/need them. Even this list was hard for me to make.
