NWMR: What do YOU want for Christmas?

My family draws names every year and my BIL has asked for suggestions of what I want.  I am drawing a complete blank on ideas.  We usually keep it in the $50-$100 range.  What's on your list this year?

Re: NWMR: What do YOU want for Christmas?

  • I want lands end slippers. Super duper cozy over the top $50 slippers that I am embarrassed to be so excited over. DH better get the hint. Other than that, i would love a massage/mani/pedi certificate.

  • A fleece jacket and a new toiletry bag. I may also have to investigate these comfy slippers mentioned up-thread.

  • I would love new perfume, but it's going to take multiple trips to the department store to figure out what to get.  My body chemistry changed after I had DD, and now I need a new signature perfume.  The stuff I used to love just smells weird on me :(

    I am also DYING for one of these Aquafarms and a fish: https://www.backtotheroots.com/

  • I want a new starter set of make up.  Bare Minerals to be exact.  I also want new slippers, sun glasses, perfume, scarfs...

  • I want hotel gift cards.  Would seriously cut down on the cost of my yearly road trip!

     

  • Nice date night with DH!

  • I want a bread maker. Very dorky.
  • some comfy boot slippers, massage, shellac manicure system so I can do my nails at home, wine, a new yoga mat, new pajamas, gift card to nordstrom
  • I'm just asking for one thing, a new area rug for the living room. This once fun shag carpet has got to go before DD starts crawling because its just too hard to effectively vacuum

    For my birthday this summer I asked for a play yard for the baby. Apparently mommy hood has really inspired me to dream big for my gift requests

  • My DH just asked me this last night and I didn't know what to say. Maybe a spa gift certificate? (I didn't say that because it's his fallback gift -- not that I'm complaining! -- but I wanted to give him a chance to think.)

  • A gc to Sephora (i need new brushes), new boots and cloths and a facial.  It is hard to come up with things that I want because I usually just get things for myself when I need/want something.  My family rather give actual gifts then gift cards.  I am not complaining about them wanting to give actual gifts but it is hard for someone to go to the store and buy me cloths or boots.

  • I asked for a pair of Tom's from my Mom and from my husband I sent a list of items I like on Etsy, like fun jewelry and tee shirts that I would prob never buy for myself.

  • The only thing I can think of is a fancy breville toaster. Coincidentally, this will be my present to my grandparents, so it may be a little tacky to put on my wishlist.

  • Every year, I ask my husband for one simple gift: a book of car wash passes. If carting around a toddler doesn't make my car gross enough on the inside, our tough New England winters make my car even nastier on the outside. A wash and vacuum makes me better when I'm feeling overwhelmed too.

    I agree on someone else shopping for me.

  • My wish list this year includes a new flat iron, lulu lemon vest and, etsy gift card.
  • I'm thinking of telling DH I want a bunch of massages to use over the next year. I normally get jewelry from him. For smaller gifts I need gloves and a new iPhone case.
    DS: 2/17/11          DD: 9/4/13
  • New wallet or a nice pair of leather gloves.  Or a good perfume.

  • What I actually want: gc's for cleaning service, babysitting and movers (we have a cross-country move coming up in the new year). Maybe a gc for the meal delivery service we had when DD was a newborn.

    What I am actually asking for: nothing. Our families like to buy stuff and that's the last thing I need right now. No more stuff!

    I asked DH for a gc for a haircut and massage.

  • I'd love a new gym bag!  One of the herb/spice samplers from Penzey's would be fantastic.  

    I'm sooo glad to see nice slippers on so many lists.  That's what I got my mother this year; I loooove mine and figured it's something she'd never spend the $ on herself.
