What do YOU want for Christmas?

My in-laws and parents are already asking about Christmas. I have suggestions for both of our daughters. I'm wondering what to ask for myself.....There's very little I need right now. I'm asking for another set of cooking pots. I need to give them ideas. Otherwise - I know it's the thought that counts - I get rather interesting gifts, especially from my parents. :-) Ideas? I know I'll think of a boatload of stuff on Christmas Eve, but that's too late :-)

Re: What do YOU want for Christmas?
I will probably ask my mom for some Clinique make-up that I wouldn't usually buy myself or some nice perfume.
Or maybe some kitchen type stuff like a garlic press or a salt pig.

What I will tell my ILs I want: restaurant gift card, Loft gift card, that's about it. They once gave me the same robe and slippers they bought for their 60-year-old friend. Both were hideous.
And warm fuzzy socks. See frozen tundra comment above.
But DH and I just bought each other a new tankless water heater and boiler, and converted from oil to propane heat. While it will save us a ton of money in the long run, it was a big up front cost. So we're taking it easy on Christmas gifts this year.
I always try to get my mom to buy me things I would never spend the money on - from her I would really like the Audrey Cashmere Sweater from Talbots, a couple of Alex and Ani bracelets and things from the Vintage Pearl.
Magazine subscription or two
Good rain boots
I want a Little Lending Library for our yard (we are down the block on a street facing the elementary school and there are many retired walkers, too, so think it would get a ton of use)
new Coach bag (with straps long enough to put over my shoulder but not the big long strap)
Chaise lounge for the pool area so I can recline while sitting out there with the kids
Waterproof outdoor speaker (DH might actually get this as a gift, as he wants one too)
Antiquing trip so we can get an occasional table for the living room and a big, big lamp - it's a cathedral ceiling with brown wood paneling, and it feels so dark but I hate overhead lights
Non-maternity clothes or a GC to go shopping once I lose the baby weight
Sneakers for everyday (the old school style New Balance or something like that)
A new bag for work
A date with my husband after the new baby is here
