I always say I want nothing but I'm looking at things a little differently and allowing myself some wants. My list: Frye boots, a really nice kitchen knife, a Klean Kanteen insulated food container for lunches, a chewbeads necklace, and a robotics/electronics toy I've had my eye on for a while. And as always another fun pair of toms. I'm good at this wish list thing all of the sudden!
bringing this back cause American thanksgiving is over.
my birthday is 5 days before Christmas and so far my parents are getting me this jacket as an early birthday present and i threw the bracelet in to make the order over $100 so i could get $20 off. i also would like a new baby carrier, a real non stick frying pan, a cast iron skillet, but now i just want to win the lottery and get my own place XD
I live in Edmonton (hello -30!) and don't have a real winter jacket (just a wool one from when I lived in Vancouver) so that's on my list. Also another pair of lululemon high rise leggings, these things are gold! Lastly an adult colouring book!
DH just got my list today. I said a full nights sleep alone in a hotel room and he looked scared and butt hurt at the same time. So I modified it. A stay at the family cabin, massage from my good friend who is an amazing masseuse, a spa treatment at the Vapor Caves, a soak in the Hot Springs Pool, and dinner at the local steakhouse. The last two being a part of a date night. I hope he comes through. I told him it would help me unwind and he seemed excited about that idea!!

I just bought the nearly naked high rise lululemon ones. They are amazing.
I want a pair of hunter boots that I've already picked out, some hand weights, and some nicer lounge wear clothes (bc lets be real, if I'm not in work clothes im in yoga pants 3-4 days a week). I really didn't want that much this year. I'd love a new dresser, a rug for our bedroom, and a new side table for our couch but that's way over budget!
I've asked for some Origins products - with their ginger body scrub #1 on that list. I asked if we should buy new luggage and DH looked like a deer in headlights, so I have a feeling I know what I might be getting, lol. Usually he switches gear when that happens though, which is a bummer because I need luggage!
DH and I don't exchange gifts because I'm cheap and I'm like "that's a car payment!". I always tell him there is nothing I NEED and I don't want to spend money on things we want. Im a cheap grinch.

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.

1) spa gift card for a massage 2) gift card to my yoga studio that I can use for yoga clothes 3)coffee maker
I've also mentioned a nice camera to DH, but don't think I'll get that.
I really want a hotel room to myself for a night, a bottle of Pinot Noir, and a box of chocolates (to take with me). Then, I'd order girly movies on demand and get a full nights sleep. Didn't have the guts to ask for that though!
I simply want to spend Christmas with our families I'm afraid we won't be able to see everyone and that hurts my heart because it's LO's first Christmas but we will try our best!
Also I want to wear matching pyjamas and get our first official family photo.
for some reason that i cant figure out i just spent $13 ordering a gift to be sent to the apartment for my potential ex husband? (i have no idea what to call him on here) its one of those camera lens mug/thermos cause he's always been into photography and i swear he loves coffee more than he loved me. it will be addressed and shipped to him. so he wont know its from me. still trying to figure out why.
ETA: maybe its cause it seemed like he planned on getting me something and while i got him an early birthday present a couple months ago (both our birthdays are in December), i dont feel like i really got him anything for Christmas.
DH and I just bought a treadmill on Amazon. One of their lightening deals for Cyber Monday. Merry Christmas to us! We desperately need to get back in shape and it's too hard to get to a gym -- and will be cheaper than a gym membership in the long run.
I want a Roomba. But I don't want to be an adult and actually put a household item on my list.
So instead I'm asking for a new North Face jacket, my old one got so much use but now I need a size bigger. And I want an Owlet baby monitor so this goof can sleep in his nursery without me freaking out. I also like that Hatch Baby changing table with the built in scale.
And I want an iPad Air2. Gift card to buy some new outfits for work. New pair of sunglasses.
Would love a straight 8 hours of sleep but I'd have to get up and pump still so....

Because you haven't yet accepted that you deserve better. And so you're still trying to make things ok. Which is human, and understandable. But hopefully one day you will have a partner who deserves the love you have to give, and you will be grateful for having learned that lesson.
I'm sorry you're going through this, and hope things get so much better for you very soon.

Ohhhh DH and I want a roomba so badly, it's gross how expensive they are!
And I just bought myself a new north face jacket on cyber Monday because I'm in the same boat. My current one is years old and somehow too small even though I'm no longer pregnant. I couldn't want for Christmas for someone to maybe buy me one! It's already too cold here in MA.
