We desperately need new bathroom towels and washcloths, so I think that's what my mom is getting us this year. If we're lucky she'll throw in some kitchen towels too because she was complaining that we don't have enough of those when she was here last week.
I sent Mike a link to a watch I wanted, and I told him I "need" sexy shoes and some new clothes.
Depending on the size of his bonus this year, we may be able to do some work on the house. The carpet in our living room has reached the point of no return where it really needs to be torn out altogether, and our living room furniture is getting there. I showed him some sofas and chairs that are inexpensive and could hopefully get us through the next couple of years with young children and dogs. I refuse to buy really nice expensive furniture only to watch the kids and pets destroy it, but we need to have SOMETHING. I mean, I guess we could just get a bunch of bean bags and toss them on the floor, but I refuse to stoop to that level.
My list: pair of Toms, camera bag, extra camera battery, Adobe photoshop, Beauty and the Beast Bluray, chew beads teething necklace, just dance 3 for wii, iTunes gc.
--- B&N gift cards so I can buy ebooks for my No ok Co lor.
--- A 1 yard piece of every fabric of a friend of mine's new line that's debuting in January. That might be too rich for out budget, so I'll settle for 2 yards of custom dyed fabric from that same friend.
Keurig New Toms New camera bag (maybe a Kelly Moore?) New "mom" purse Flash for the camera GCs for Amazon, Nordies (although I usually just tell my ILs to shop at specific stores and I return stuff for store credit since they like for me to open "stuff") Maybe a cheap sewing machine? Assorted picture frames from IKEA so I can finally hang shiit on the walls
Re: what's on your wishlist?
Not too much this year. A MK watch, some colorful belts, some scarves, some nail polish.
Oh and another purse but I ain't holding my breath on that one. Ha. I'm slightly obsessed.
New linens for our bathroom--the super hard water is making ours stinky/crispy after 5+ years.
An electric griddle (like for pancackes)
Metal spatulas--I got Le Creuset cookware recently and the plastic spatulas don't work so well on cast iron
Glass measuring cups--I don't have enough
Amazon GCs--I buy EVERYthing from there and am spending even more $ thanks to the Kindle I got for my bday
Us Magazine or People magazine subscription. I let me last one lapse for about the last year and to be honest, I miss my celebrity smut.
Crate and Barrel GCs-- I just love that store and I love dishes
My family also knows that Nordstrom GCs are always welcome
Glass tupperware
Makeup and/or Sephora gift certificate
Riding boots (or maybe a gift card - it's hard to pick out shoes for someone else)
Tunic-type tops and sweaters and leggings
Fun headbands
A kuerig machine and k cups
new sheets & towels
a camera (that i am not expecting to get haha)
subscription to dwell magazine
some clothes
some music
B&W Photo by Wildhouse Photography
Shoes (some wedges, some fun flats)
sheets for the guest room
new iphone case
makeup
melamine batter bowl (DS broke our favorite one
)
GelPro mat for kitchen
nice vanilla, spices, etc
