DH and I normally completely surprise each other, but this year we're doing lists and then picking a few things off the list to buy for the other. I can't think of anything to put on my list. So, if you were making a list of things you want, that you trust DH to buy without you around, what would be on it?
Re: If you were making a Christmas list for YOURSELF, what would be on it?
Yes! Thank you! I want new make-up brushes, and I can linky the ones I want! There's one thing on the list.
1. Clothes
2. Clothes
3. Shoes
4. Clothes
hahahah I hate all my clothes right now so that is like all I want!
A Canon EF 85mm f1.2L II USM lens....*sigh*...some day.
Yeah, me too. And we have family pictures in 2 weeks. I saw 2 sweaters today I liked, and DS melted down before I swing back through Belk to buy them. And of course DH is working late, so I'm not getting back out to the mall tonight.
Do you trust DH to buy you clothes?
You're welcome! I'm like a kid in a candy store in Sephora even though I don't actually wear that much make-up. And it's a store that as long as you have the product/description written out, there are plenty of girls working to help your DH pick out the right one.
I also happily accept GC's to my favorite clothing storesand the local salon/spa, chocolate covered pretzels, Wii games, and an Omaha steaks package.
We just got our first DSLR (Nikon D5000) for our anniversary in September. We got the kit lens with it ::hangs head in shame:: so I think I'm going to get DH a lens for one of his gifts from me.
If I were going big? A SLR camera!
Otherwise, a GC for a fabulous massage, Some kitchen things I've been wanting, a GC for a hotel room to spend an overnight away with the girls, some new make-up (I would be specific), a new purse (again.. very specific).
I wish!! None of these things will be on my list since we aren't doing gifts.
Yeah I just have the kit lens for my Canon too and it sucks. My dad has this lens and it makes such a difference, it's really good for portraits. I just don't have $1800 to spend on a lens...my husband would flip.

Me too...I never buy anything for myself these days. I really want a pedicure and maybe a nice massage.
Actually I do trust DH!! Last year he totally shocked me and got me the cutest pair of jeans, some darling suede slouch boots, some sweaters, and a coat! I loved ALL of them and I'm a super picky chick!
That cracks me up, we just had family pics 2 weeks ago and I bought myself 2 new things for them
It was a nice excuse to splurge a little.
MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga lip glass.
Urban Decay Book of Shadows III.
Sephora Favorites Glitz & Glam Shimmer & Shine makeup set.
Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and style.
Elliptical machine.
A new sexy bra.
I keep looking at those, I'm just not sure....
I'd kill for an iPad, but that's not in our Christmas budget, unless I get a really sweet job, REALLLLYYYY fast!
I don't really want much. The new Wheel of Time fantasy novel (TG it's finally almost over!), an electronic kitchen scale, and the 30 Day Shred are all I can really think of right now.
I don't really need stuff.
gift certs for spa and beauty treatments
a new ipod
a maid for a day
a shopping spree
I'm getting a computer and a speedlite. Computer is a necessity, this one is on its last leg.
I really want stuff to decorate the house with too (mainly stuff for the walls), so that's on my list too. I'm not sure I would let DH pick them out though. MIL and SIL could help him. I like their taste.
That's about it with my gifts being so expensive.
