What's on your Christmas list?

I know we've done these a few times, but it's totally dead around here, so why not do another one? We're not doing Christmas presents this year so our bank account can recover from the move, but if we were...

A new duvet, specifically this one: (clicky)

An iPad

An icecream maker attachment for my mixer

The entire boxed set of Boy Meets World

This bedframe and this headboard(clicky)

This watch
(clicky)

Or, this: Tongue out

Re: What's on your Christmas list?

  • I love that watch!  Cute.  

    I don't have much on my list, I want new workout clothes, this one particular polo sweater.  I already have one that I got for Christmas last year and it's the best fitting sweater ever, so I want a new one in a different color.  And that's about all I could figure out to put on my list.  So it'll be interesting to see what I end up getting.  


  • A new winter coat.
    Fleecy slippers.
    Books.
    Gift certificates.
    A Vera Bradley bag.

    A full wine rack

  • All I really want is a full night's sleep. Seriously.

    For me, some of the top things on my list are:

    A cricut

    This nativity scene:


    Movies and books!
  • Stacks, those watches are awesome. I got one for my dad for Father's Day last year. They're made of wood, and the company plants a tree for every watch bought.

    Bay, I just got a new coat. If you don't get one for Christmas, I would suggest Delia's. It's a junior's store, but their coats are cute and actually hold up pretty well. This is the one I got in charcoal gray: clicky
  • Sarah, I feel for you! Your little guy is so precious though!
  • I want cash and Amazon giftcards. So festive of me. 
  • Jill that is super cute!  I want a peacoat style coat.  My old one is getting pretty tattered.

    A kindle fire, which I'm pretty sure my parents are getting me, and a new digital camera, which I know H got for me because I'm the one that wrapped it and put it under the tree.  I'm pretty sure I'm getting H the iPhone 4s, but he'll have to go pick it up because we aren't on the same phone plan.  We're awesome at surprises, let me tell you.

  • Jill, I love that coat!

  • cooking stuff
    an iPad
    a cocktail ring
    a necklace

    and the big stuff:
    find a house and buy it
    get H to plan a vacation for us

  • Jal, you guys sound like us. We're awful at surprises-remember the b-pic fail?

    LTB, a house would also be on my list. Well, a chunk of land to put a house on to be more specific

    Anna, I'm just like you.  I tend to either A) buy myself everything I want throughout the year or B) what I want is more expensive than what one person will buy for me.

    My christmas gift to myself this year is a custom made wine cabinet.  Besides that I have no idea what everyone is getting me since I didn't tell anyone anything.

    BTW Jill, My H has one of those watches.  They are pretty cool.  Are you signed up through Gilt Group?  They are on sale there often.  That's where H got his.
  • I want a Waterpik. After I got my braces off in June, the orthodontist put in a permanent retainer on the bottom. It's a pain in the ass to floss my bottom teeth, and it doesn't get done nearly enough.

    I'd also like a yarn swift and ball winder, so I can stop making my husband help me turn hanks of yarn into center-pull balls.
  • I don't have a list, but I know H got me an envelope filter and I got some money from my dad and grandparents. That's going to the kitchen reno. I also need some curtains for the living room.

    YES.  This.  I need one.  I have a ball winder (it was $20) but good swifts are so pricey.

  • Daff, any ideas on curtains? I found some that I like for the new apartment, but I don't know that they'll really "go" with our stuff

    Not really sure yet. I'm thinking maybe just ivory. I'm going to have the room painted a medium warm grey. These pictures are my color inspiration:

    Funny that - we had carpet installed in the family room about a year and a half ago. I've decided I hate the color and want to get it redone. D'oh.

  • Oh that's pretty! Our new apartment is kind of a warm vanilla-not quite yellow, not quite beige. It's a pretty good neutral, but it's going to be a bummer coming from this apartment, which we were allowed to paint. These are the curtains I'm eyeing:




    The rest of our stuff is really dark wood and leather, so I think they would be a nice little pop of color. Rick said they kind of look old lady-ish thoughUndecided
  • Sparent, that watch is awesome!
  • I have made love for steampunk jewlery and Etsy.... hahah

    I hate curtains. I figure I'll just walk around naked until some neighbors give us money for blinds

  • At my last apartment, my bedroom had a giant window. It came with blinds, and I wasn't feeling up to buying 12ft long curtains. 

    After I'd lived there about a week, some guy from the complex stopped me while he was walking his dog. He politely informed me that the cheap apartment mini blinds did not provide enough privacy. 

    I was mortified, and I made an emergency run to Joann to buy out their entire supply of curtain material. I made H (then BF) come over at 3AM to hang them.
