What is on YOUR christmas list?

ILs always want my list early since my birthday is December 9th, so they use my xmas list for both. I am totally drawing a blank on what I want. I usually just go buy things when I want them. Sadly I can think of a million things for dd but am struggling on my own list
So far I have:
-High quality digital picture frame (I have a crappy one that is horrible)
-specific bottle of perfume
-a book and a cookbook
-money towards plantation shutters for the window
-I might pick out a specific purse too (just saying - I want a purse would end in disaster)

Re: What is on YOUR christmas list?
I don't think I have made a Christmas list since I was 5.
I really really want a pair of black Tory Burch Reva flats. I've given DH a ton of hints. We'll see what happens.
I haven't had anything nice and new clothes/shoe wise since before I got pregnant so I would love to have a little splurge.
It has been a demand each year from ILs since we got engaged 8 years ago. My last one before then was probably about 5 haha. I would be very afraid to leave it up to chance. The couple of gifts that were off the list pretty quickly made it to the donate pile.
My family went to only buying for the kids, which is so much easier and more fun anyway. DH's family just won't let go of exchanging gifts. Luckily he is an only child so it is just his parents we have to buy for.

My in-laws like us to make one each year. Not sure why because they always completely ignore it. Or they get something similar (even though I include a direct link) that misses the make entirely. DH and I have been together a total of 9.5 years. In that time, I have kept 3 gifts from them.
Anyway, actually on the list for them:
-memory card for camera
-flash drive
-book light for Kindle
-tripod
-case for my flash drives
On my blog as things I'm wishing for (MIL reads my blog but I didn't put on list as they are expensive):
-espresso maker
-camcorder
-LL Bean diaper bag (this one I will be getting probably with the money my aunt sends me)

A new hair straightener and that's it. My MIL always gets me a pandora charm for my charm bracelet.
I went to a Tory Burch store for the first time this past weekend and saw the Reva flats. Super cute!

It's always awkward because we have nothing in common and don't have similar tastes at all. Then they sit there, camera ready because of course you have to take a picture of every single gift opened, waiting for my reaction, all proud of themselves. And I have to be like, "oh wow! a combination egg beater shoe horn! How......unique!" When everything I think and feel goes across my face so Christmas with the in-laws is so tiring for me. They're nice enough people just not my cup of tea so this just adds another layer to that.
But anyway, DH says he already knows what he is getting me and he is proud of himself. Keep in mind, he has inherited a bit of that "gets the worst gifts possible" gene from his parents. The past few years he has done great though. But I'm still a little worried. I hate wasting money or money being wasted on me.

Oh no! DH's family does the whole go around the room and open one gift at a time so everyone can watch you thing. I hate it. I am always bracing myself for something horrible that I have to pretend to like!

My wish list is very short: a cordless Dyson (or a cleaning lady, but I think the Dyson is more likely).
Oh, how my holiday wishes have changed over the years - if someone had told the non-mommy me that I would be wishing for a new vacuum, she would have told that person they were insane!
