I am really stumped as to what to ask for this year. My mom wants me to send her a big list w/ a range of gifts from "way too expensive" (her words) down to stocking stuffers so that she can get surprise gifts. For the past 10 year or so, I've asked for 1 or 2 big ticket items, so there hasn't been the element of surprise. I think my mom misses that...even though Jack and Tommy make up for it.
Anyway, what's on your list?

Re: Did we already do the "What is on your Hanukkah/Christmas wishlist" thread?
I hate the neck strap that came with my DLSR, so I'm hoping to get this. In this case it really is the little things!
I also want a couple of Sunrise Earth DVDs since it appears the show has been cancelled.
There's also a cookbook and a couple of CDs that I'd like. DH and I don't give each other lists, so this is more for parents/ILs/gift exchange. Though I did tell DH after my PG massage that if he's ever stumped for gifts I will always, always welcome spa GCs.
I've had way too much fun making up my wish list this year.
Jo Totes Betsy camera bag, Urban Decay's Naked Palette, Nine West Fountain Ankle Boot, Clarisonic Mia, toe socks, fingerless knit gloves, lots of nail polish, lots of earrings off of Etsy, and a deep freezer.
So far, I've only made a list for the two family exchanges that have a $50 limit, so I've got:
Tom's shoes
perfume (Armani Code)
a new 12" frying pan with lid
gift cards
For bigger ticket items, I'd like a Kindle and a new vacuum. I know, way to dream big. Oh, and a new laptop, but that's a little too big.
What I'd really like is a new camera, new laptop and a shopping spree.
What I'm actually asking for: a book, cute reusable shopping/produce bags, a gel mat for the kitchen, a phone case, ipod or something to play music while exercizing (hopefully for motivation), SB and Visa giftcards. I've also wanted my closet redone for several years. This may actually happen this year. It's not going to be expensive since DH will make everything, it just takes time.
I will suggest batteries (for my camera) and k-cups for my stocking.
I think my Chanukah/Birthday wishlist includes:
- Chimpsy class GC
- Photo editing software (and the classes to go with it.)
- B&N gift cards to buy books for my Nook
- 1 yard of every selection in my friend's new fabric line (debuting in January 2012)
- GC for a yard of custom dyed fabric from same friend.
I'm asking for a nice, new diaper bag because the one I bought from babies r us is awkward and not very functional... but I'm also hoping for money towards a new camera. I have a point and shoot that I enjoy, but I am interested in buying a DSLR.
DH is asking for a nerf gun - apparently his new job in Austin includes the occasional nerf gun war!
I will have a peek, thanks!
