What would you like for the holidays?

...if you celebrate, of course.

The only things I can think of are an Instant Pot and new workout shoes.

    I love my instant pot.

    I really want a new sewing machine.  But I think that will wait a year until after we move.  I asked DH for a specific pair of rain boots since we're moving from the desert to the rainy north east.

    The only thing on my list right now are new VS Jammie's. The silky holiday pajamas are the most comfy things ever and my last pair ripped. Otherwise we are going to Hawaii in January and that happy holidays/anniversary to us both  :p

    I always have the hardest time coming up with ideas to give other people for myself (my mom asks, and DH’s family does a Secret Santa that we give out ideas for). There are a couple of movies I want digital copies of but other than that I just want new clothes, which are hard for other people to buy. I might be lame and ask for some new stretchy pants in a bigger or maternity size

    New running shoes and an instapot here too. I got an Apple Watch already for Christmas but my Hubs always still does something at Christmas. Or just a day off with no kids and responsibilities to lay in bed and binge Netflix.

    I'd really like a new camera, but that's way too much money. My basic DSLR isn't cutting it anymore for me and I'm ready to move up to a higher end camera. But I went part time this year, so the budget is tighter and my wishlist needs to be reasonable. So far I asked for Wonder Woman. Other than that, probably comfy maternity pj's. Maybe one of your posts will inspire me with ideas.  ;)

    I want new plates and silverware, but have been looking for over a year and cannot find any I like that aren't like $1,000 for 12 settings

    Not sure what style you want, but this is the set we got for our wedding registry from crate and barrel. They have a good weight and solid feel to them. We've been using them for 6 years now and love the set. https://m.crateandbarrel.com/strand-5-piece-flatware-place-setting/s459089

    Ooooh I'd like an insta pot! That's a good idea. Other than that I have no idea. My in-laws always want a list and the only thing I ever really want is clothes or running gear and I'm very picky about both.

    I am obsessed with my insta pot! 

    For Christmas I really want some new maternity clothes because I don’t have anything I like from my previous pregnancies.

    I'm not big on getting gifts. I'm so freaking awkward and I feel like my reactions don't accurately reflect my attitude. I told my DH I just want to get an extra gift for DS instead of him getting one for me. It's more fun for everyone that way!

    My mom hired a cleaning service to deep clean my house for my birthday. Best. Present. EVER.

    I own all the movies and 3 sets of the books... the full boxed set in the travel trunk case,  a British version of all the books (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is book 1), and a set that I allow my students to touch/ borrow. Plus I have a Maurauders Map, a Rememberall, and a metal set of bookmarks. Plus some other smaller items. Potterhead.

    AFM, I would like a pair of wool leggings,  a gift certificate for a cleaning service,  and more sleep. Oh,  and more wool socks. I heart wool.

    DH “gave” me cleaning services last time I was pregnant and since it was a gift I said “no take-backsies!!”

    My birthday is right before Christmas, so it's always really hard for me to pick stuff that I want.  I usually just want new clothes/shoes, but my in-laws refuse to give gift cards for things, so I almost always have to think of "things" for my list instead.  I haven't even started thinking about it this year yet.  But @cups4 with my last pregnancy, I did ask for nursing pjs and tops, and that worked out well!  One year, my MIL did give me a gift card for DSW and attached a coupon for babysitting so I could leave the girls with her to go by myself.  It was heaven.

    I keep hearing about the instant pot so now I am intrigued and wondering if it is actually worth asking for. My mom already asked me for one but if i find a good enough deal I might get one for me and her. This year DH and I plan on giving my In laws an actual list because all the gifts they usually give us cheap clothes that are already threading or for me they seem to think I am a larger girl and I really am not so I cant wear it plus I am picky about clothes. They are slowly coming around to gift cards so hoping we could just get gift cards to home depot or best buy for DH and Bed bath and beyond and target for me.

    I've added cooking or cake decorating classes to my list. I think it'll be nice to get some "expert" help and gives me an excuse to get out of the house.

    New pots and pans. We've had ours for 8 years and the non-stick coating isn't sticking to them anymore. We also just finished remodeling our kitchen, so it only seem appropriate. :) Also, mani-pedi and massage gift certificates wouldn't hurt either. DH always gets me a new piece of jewelry for Christmas. It's nothing extravagant, but something nice. I never have a say or know what it is until Christmas morning. Excited to see what it is this year! First Christmas after DD was born, he got me a Topaz ring with her name and birthdate inscribed on it. <3

    @k5678 a cleaning service is the best gift I’ve ever heard of and something I will be putting on my Christmas list or maybe even Mother’s Day so the house gets a good clean before the baby comes

    My dream would be a Dyson V8, but I think every person I’ve ever met would have to contribute to make that financially possible. Lol. I don’t know what an instant pot is, but I really need to teach myself how to cook before there’s a child to feed. We’re more of a “combine sort of prepared things to make a somewhat healthy meal” kind of household at this point.

    @sandbar517  yeesssssss.  I do not like making a list of things so that someone can give me a physical present they essentially made me pick out.  I get wanting to give a gift instead of a gift card (kind of) but if you are making me do the picking and sending the website to find it, it bothers me.  I can give ideas, like train toys or nursing stuff, but why do I have to do all the work just because you want to hand me something in a box?

    @cups4, Yeah I forgot to mention that it even went so far last year that I was shopping with my MIL and the other women in MH's family (we do a big Girls Shopping Trip every year for before Christmas) and she ended up taking some of the things that I had bought FOR MYSELF, and wrapped them up for her and her mother (MH's grandmother) to give to me on Christmas and the paid me back for them.  It was absurd.

    @cups4 it worked!  And no, I'm totally not kidding.  I had bought a purse and two shirts for myself, and when she saw them in my cart, she said, Oh let me buy those for you, GG (What we call her now-Great Grandma) and I need things to give you.  It really didn't bother me, except hi! I wanted to be able to use them between then and Christmas.

    I got an instant pot last Christmas and love it! I have no clue for This year. I wanted a new kindle as the toddler accidentally broke mine but my husband got it for me for our anniversary last week (even though we had said no presents). I honestly would be ok with no presents or stuff for the family (we love going to the lake so maybe a paddle board )

    Off the top of my head I think I want Chrissy Tiegan's cookbook "Cravings". 

    Other than that I have no idea. I have been definitely distracted by thinking about all the house stuff to get done before this little one arrives. We've been using the spare bedroom as a storage space.
