Hmm. I didn't give it much thought yet, but I wouldn't mind Seinfeld on DVD and a pair of riding boots. I've been looking for riding boots for years, though (it's hard to find boots for short legs!). I also want a ring for my right hand, just have to decide what exactly I'm looking for.
To be pregnant and make it through the first trimester. A notebook/tablet thing. Probably a surface pro. To replace my old laptop. My usual gift cards to Barnes and Noble, Ulta, and the like.
Edit: just thought I'd something else... Cleaning services.

C has to be about the best Christmas present ever! Not sure there's anything else I need...although my dad did pay my race entry fee for the 1/2 marathon I'm doing in May!
My ILs and DH's grandma usually give me money for Christmas. This year I told them to use it towards DH's paddleboard (it really was the only way we could afford it for this year's Christmas and birthday). That takes a pretty big chunk of Christmas away on my end but totally worth it because DH loves the paddleboard and we had a great time using it together.
H and I aren't really exchanging gifts this year with my photo shoot and him getting a laptop this fall. We will just fill each others stockings with maybe one side gift.
My mom always asks for our lists, so on that is gift cards, a big work out ball, scrapbooking supplies, and a few other items. Joint list (H and I) Air purifier is our main gift we want, but there is quite a bit on the list to give her variety to shop! We all are a Christmas kind of family. So it's always a big deal!
We just drew names for the siblings on my side, since it gets expensive to buy for everyone. It's crazy how close Christmas really is. Wowza!

I'm really thinking about asking H for a housekeeping gift certificate (is that a thing?) for a couple months. He helps out a lot with things like vacuuming, laundry, and tidying up, but I feel like I can't keep up with things like dusting and floor boards. It would be nice to not have to worry about it for a bit.

Thinking about the Kindle Voyage. Other than that, gift cards for take out for after the baby comes. Amazon gift cards. An insulated casserole carrier.
Other than that, I think I'm asking MIL for new blankets (we've been using our old queen size on the new king bed). I'm going to ask my mom for new clothes or giftcards.
H and I aren't exchanging gifts. We will go out for one nice dinner. We're saving up to go on vacation next year.
-@ To have a healthy baby and be nausea-free. -@ Not go into labor before I'm term so I can stuff my face at Thanksgiving (and not have a wimpy white boy on CPAP). -@ An epidural. -A house cleaning service to deep clean my house is probably my #1 gift for me. With 3000 sq ft there's always a bunch of things that need cleaning and I want to be able to know that there's nothing that needs cleaning. This could totally become an annual gift too.

I haven't thought a ton about it but I'll probably ask for clothes (to wear after Feb...) and books. Maybe some movies too. I don't really want a whole lot, I just hope we can get through the holidays without spending a TON because this whole saving for a down payment thing isn't going so well with other things popping up!
Oh, the one thing I REALLY want is a hockey jersey for my college! Hockey jerseys are so expensive though!

I think I'm going to go to Sephora or MAC and get a makeover and then put all those items on my Christmas list. There's not much I really want, other than some (cheap) earrings and necklaces, so I thought that might be fun.

pooh8402- Really hope and am praying IVF works for you this cycle and you are pregnant with your take home baby these holidays!

jjwritergirl- I saw a onesie at Carter's online and thought of you and M...it says, "All Mommy wants is a Silent Night". I think it should be M's Christmas Eve outfit! In all seriousness, praying that things get better with STTN, teething, and your move! Thinking of you guys often!
