NBR - What is on your Christmas list?

krispy83

We always exchange Christmas lists in my family and we try to have them out before Thanksgiving so that anyone who wants to can take advantage of the Black Friday sales.  I'm having a hard time coming up with things that I need or want this year!  I have a few items on my list, but this also got me curious.. what NBR items are you asking for this year?  (Aside from healthy babies and mommies, of course!)

Mine is a new front door and new storm door.  I have wanted one for 8 years, since we bought our house.  And honestly, a new kitchen (what I really want) is not in the budget right now.  I also want a minivan (yup I said it), but lol with a third on the way, nothing else seems practical.  

So if my inlaws ask what we want for Christmas, I will probably say a gift card towards my new door(s).  

I don't really exchange gifts with anyone else.  We will be with my inlaws in Florida this Christmas, so I won't be with my parents.  And my brother lives in CA, so I won't see him until the spring, more than likely.  And we don't do gifts for each other, unless we are together.

DH keeps asking me this bit I can't think of anything. I want a ps4 but that needs to wait. I want to buy baby stuff but that wouldn't be for me. I want more maternity clothes that I actually like but that's not practical for how little use I would get out of them. I need absolutely nothing and having huge guilt over large sums of money being spent on me when it could be used for the kids. I'm working on it so maybe I'll gain ideas here.

My early present from my mom was a memory foam mattress topper, and to you ladies who don't know what to ask for: THIS! It was under $100 at target and totally worth every penny that I didn't pay

DH always buys me jewelry so this year I picked out a few pieces I like so that he doesn't go too crazy (he tends to buy me really fancy jewelry which I never wear because I stay at home). I've asked for pajama pants and a food processor and am really hoping that my in-laws buy me an automatic starter installation for my new car like they did 2 years ago!

My inlaws always give us a check, which I'm sure will go to baby stuff this year. As for non-baby related stuff, I really need more pajama pants. I could also really use a massage gift certificate. Though, I guess both of those are baby related...lol. 

DH and I usually exchange a gift, but we probably won't this year. I'll be out of work for 6 months once baby is here, plus we still need everything for baby.

Salad spinner. Lame? Yes but we need one. DH and I aren't exchanging this year and are buying a nice camera instead.

tropicbreeze

All I want is a new flat iron.
Shopping for DH is hard because is birthday is just a week and a half before Christmas.

I love Christmas for kids since it's such a fun time of the year but hate trying to think of things for DH and myself.  I cannot think of anything I want that I can justify DH buying.  When I asked DH what he wanted for himself, his only request was a quality pair of nail clippers - how lame!

I end up pretending other purchases count as xmas presents for ourselves.  Ski trip in Jan, newborn/family photos in Feb, a weekend trip to Poland to add a few(several) pieces to our Polish pottery collection and a spring vacation to Italy.  Those will be what I call my xmas presents:)  DH usually buys me some chocolate for under the tree so I have something to open.

A keurig, button down pjs (easier for MOTN feedings?), sephora gift card (eyeing a clarisonic and new eyeshadow) and books for my e-reader! Also my mom already told me she's getting me ugg slippers. Can't wait for those!!

erobbins09

Yeesh I have no idea... We've sort of just decided to do a new house-couple gift to save this year... But FI gets really into gift giving so we'll see.

It's always easier for me to think of things to ask for from my mom... Is that bad? But when it comes to clothes/shoes/etc she gets me so I'm sure I've already texted her pictures of stuff and said "Christmas? "

But yeah.. I don't neeeeed anything!

psychobutthead

A new camera. I really really want that from DH! (baby related)

Lighting to go under my shelf for my craft room

A big shot (craft machine)

A minivan with stow&go seats

More essential oils (from my mom)

A healthy hubby (its been a LONG hard year for him. Hopefully 3rd and final surgery next week) my poor guy has been way too many dramatic injuries in his life time.

I have to say looking at this list that I am so blessed that all of these are wants, not needs.

kerrigrooves

Automatic car starter! I can't believe I left that off my list. I've been asking for it since we found out I'm pregnant lol.

I've asked everyone (we do three exchanges) for picture frames. Now that I have a lot of wall space and it's our condo (vs the apartment I didn't want to put holes in our walls) so now I need to fill those spaces. I have so many random photo frames in random places. When we first moved in, I literally found the pre-existing holes or nails and hung up a frame. It looks so dumb. I just went on this "shopping spree" from Walgreens and got a TON of photos printed in different sizes (had a 50% off coupon!). We just had professional photos taken for my parents, so I wanted to display those, plus our wedding photos, etc. 

DH's gift from me, I am writing the check for his first snowmobile payment. It's not even "my" account, we share it, so it would be the same check regardless, but I honestly cannot think of a THING to get him.

DH & I were just saying that there's really nothing we want this year.  Money, vacation, or a new car is always nice but there's really nothing on my Christmas wish list.  What a blessing!

pippie90

A new car!!

digwriter

I told everyone that I want things to help me have a life during mat leave. While a year off is really nice for baby bonding, it sucks for the income and last time I was a serious hermit (due to being severely broke). So this year I'm asking for things gas gift cards, Tim Hortons gift cards (yes, we really do love Tim Hortons up here), mall gift cards, and things like that.

Chcaggie1

I really hope someone gets me a project life set!! So I can get started on Jaxons baby book! (ok this is baby related. but for the time being it is definitely more for me than anyone else! :-)

I usually make a Amazon wish list and then send it out to family who ask. The only thing I have on there right now is a new pair of black wedge booties. I need to stop adding things to the registry and build up that wish list a little more.

My house is so full of stuff so I keep telling everyone no more stuff! I would much rather dinner out or movie tickets or something ... But every year my parents and Inlaws buy us stuff and we never use it and I feel too bad to sell. For my bday mil gave me an iPad... That was September and I've used it twice. Nice gift but I feel so guilty that I never use anything we get.

MommyOfAMiracle

I haven't given it much thought. But off the top of my head, makeup brushes and some new pots and pans. 

Sahara6971

I wanted new boots but I just ordered 2 pair, LOL. So really, nothing other than good health for my family

mahalo3

I need some boot suggestions. I found some Frye ones at Nordstrom Rack for $300, for those of you who have them on your Christmas list. I need boots in the $100 or less range. Please feel free to send me links.

@stephanie2378 I love that coat! 

@irishcurls, Ugg slippers are the best thing that happened to my life.

Yes girl!! Excellent list!!

I don't want things, my house is too small.  I would gladly take a pedicure considering I can't even reach my feet to tie my shoes.  I also may have invented a service that I would like for xmas.  I don't like getting waxed in the bikini area, but I need someone to come in and groom me.  Can I hire a shaver?

Haha my husband shaves my bikini area for me now. And my legs. and he also cuts my toenails. I might be a little spoiled but I was in a bad car accident years and years ago and I couldn't feed/dress/groom myself so my husband did everything so that we didn't have to have someone come in to help.

- A QVP flat iron and $100 to spend on new makeup

- Tickets to see Trailer Park Boys in February (Christmas and anniversary combined)

- For Santa to find us a new house before Jon is born instead of after

I'd be fine with even one of these but wouldn't be upset if all 3 came through ;;)

mom2xover2002

Kitchen stuff!! Pots, pans, etc. And a washer and dryer. Whatever I don't get for Christmas can be a birthday present..lol.. Ahh the joys of having a birthday 10 days after Christmas.

erobbins09

@nomnomasaur0426‌ my immersion blender is my life! I have a cuisinart one that has a whisk, small food processor attachment that I love. I'd love a big processor but it really does the stuff I need it to.. Mince garlic, dice onions etc. But having a ton of veggies and broth cook up on the stove then being able to put the immersion blender in and make it all creamy and delicious rather than transferring hot soup to a blender is magic.

Plus a big tall glass, milk, frozen banana, chocolate syrup and peanut butter and an immersion blender=magic milkshakes in seconds.
