Does this happen to you re: Christmas gifts?

TinaL99 · December 2011

I can never really think of anything I want/need for Christmas so I usually ask for 1 big gift (this year it's a steam mop) and gift cards for new clothes/Bath & Body Works/Kindle books.

Well now, 2 weeks before Christmas when everyone has pretty much finished their shopping, I have about 5 other things I should have asked for (a new kitchen knife set, king size pillows for our bed). I have already started a mental list for next year!

I just decided on Monday that I would really like a Vera Bradley diaper bag. It would be a perfect gift for my MIL to give, but instead I will get some random kitchen crap and some kitchsy jewelry because I couldn't think of something 2 months ago when she asked.

Yes! That is why this year I started an amazon wishlist back in September. Anytime I thought of something I would add it, or even just bookmark it on the computer.

I wrote out my wishlist for DH last week and he was pretty amazed at all the stuff. He said I must think I was really good this year! I probably have over 25 items on it But, I obviously don't expect to get all of them. I figured he could choose what he wanted, and give some ideas to his parents if they ask what to get me.

Next year I'll probably just make a board on Pinterest.

I've been doing this the last couple of months. It started as a wish list to keep ideas in my head for Ian, but then I created another one for me. I haven't actually given it to anyone, it's really for my own use, but it's there if someone does ask me.
