Has this been discussed recently? If it has, sorry, I suck.  If not...what would if you like if:

...money weren't an option?

...if your budget was under $500?

...if your budget was under $300?

....if your budget was under $100?

no budget: I would love to go away somewhere warm for the 2nd week of break. Or the renos that our bathroom needs. Or an iphone. Lots of personal training time.

under $500: a new winter coat. We got one for DH today on sale at lulu but all the womens' ones were sold out. I am kinda pissed that I waited this long because now I will just wear my old one this season. Or a Kitchen Aid Mixer

under $300: an ipod touch, clothes, a nice pair of boots

under $100: a nice dinner, a bracelet of some sort, new gym socks, an ipod shuffle, cookbooks.

I want Santa to pay for Scott's two front teeth. No, I'm serious. Stupid asss cap broke and it's costing us over $2000 to repair it because his insurance considers it "cosmetic" even though he got the caps after knocking out his front teeth.

Money weren't an option - pay off all my bills (yes I'm a nerd like that), recarpeting my entire house, fully funded landscape project for the yard

under $500 - e-reader plus as many books as I could buy until I hit 500
under $300 - e-reader, Beauty and the Beast dvd, new cat tree for Demon
under $100 - Beauty and the Beast dvd, new Wii games

Katie that sucks about his teeth. I can't believe how expensive dental stuff costs.

All I want is to see Al Pacino in the Merchant of Venice on Broadway.

Also, I want to pay for my wedding.

If money were no object, I would like a vacation home.

Under $500, a leather jacket and cute new boots.

Under $300, a night at a B&B with H.

Under $100, new running shoes. They might have to be on sale to stay in budget

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: What do you want for Christmas? : Yeah, we were pissed when we found out. <strong>He pays $50/month for his dental benefits, but then can't use them?</strong> It's even more annoying because he knocked out his teeth while he was working for this company so it's not like he was having fun. Maybe Santa will give us good news Tuesday ;) That doesn't cost a dime.

Ugh, that is crappy.

In Response to What do you want for Christmas?:
if money weren't an option? To have Jamie's collage pre-paid and be debt free
if your budget was under $500? Have the caterer paid off
if your budget was under $300? Kilt materials
if your budget was under $100? A first edition of "Ender's Game"

And if I could have something money CAN'T buy, I want my dad to want to come to my wedding.  He has the money and the vacation available, but decided to go and see my step-sister in Northern CA a month after instead.

Oh but a plus, (for those following the H interview process, ha!) he not only got customer scores up to what the DM asked for, he got them an additional 10% above the goal. Booya!  (Sorry if that made no sense)

Yay Katie's H!

It money were no object:
  A cabin in the woods

$500
  a new oven with all 4 burners working

$300
 A big cat set up for kitty, new bedding, and lots of sweaters

$100
 bookshelves made of real wood

No budget -all of what is listed below, and a new house - that has a bigger kitchen and a master bath, and that we are not upside down on.

Less than $500 - a bookshelf for my upstairs room.  Like this one (clicky) 

Less than $300 - A nook, or a kindle, and books to read on it, or clothes - I could easily spend $300 on clothes and shoes, but I'm picky so I need to have the cash so I can buy for myself .

Less than $100 - clothes?  That's hard.  If it's less than $100 and I want it, I usually buy it, at least within a few weeks.

...money weren't an option?
This http://www.crystalcruises.com/VoyageDetail.aspx?CID=1302F&RK=WC (plus applicable air fair and accommodations of course!)

...if your budget was under $500?
A nice pair of tall (mid-calf or right below the knee) boots that actually fits my calves

...if your budget was under $300?
Some new clothes or maybe a new vacuum

....if your budget was under $100?
I second "a nice dinner out!"
