I'm already getting requests and there's really nothing I want or need... (other than clothes, which are a no-go from a gift perspective because I am hard to fit).
Gift cards so I can buy my own clothes. I'm plus sized and each store fits me differently.
A recipe card binder- all the ones I saw on Amazon are $25 or more so I'll just wait to order it until closer to Christmas so it can count as one of my gifts.
An anniversary band- It's our 10 yr wedding anniversary Dec 20 so I told hubby to combine my big Christmas gift with the anniversary gift.
Not a lot - DH is getting my an iPhone X so that’s squared away lol. On my list for family etc:
- Heated mattress pad - An Ugg brand fleece robe (can you tell I don’t do well with winter? Lol) - A dyson hair dryer - A new rabbit corkscrew - gift cards to Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom, and Serena and Lily
We're moving across the country and buying a house this spring, so H and I aren't exchanging gifts at all. From my parents I'm asking for a new pizza stone and probably gift cards to Sherwin Williams or Lowe's for when we move. I'd kind of like an Apple watch, but it's not in the cards this year.
I keep a list on my phone as I think of things. Most are hobby related (sewing).
IKEA gift card for new cutting table Ironing Board 36x24 self-healing gridded cutting mat (for rotary cutting/sewing) Ticket to Ride game Mikes Hot Honey More home automation stuff (specifically light switches)
I think I want gift cards because I don't need more stuff cluttering up my small space, but my mom really likes to give gifts. I asked her what she wants and she said nothing, then asked what I want. I wouldn't mind a gift card to the local running store or race entry fees.
-Allbirds Wool Loungers -Mahabis Slippers -Sea Prayer hardcover -Pranayama Wrap -Ticket to Ride Game -Echo (though my mom asked if I want the Show, so maybe that) -Skinny Jeans -Bombas Socks -Rothy’s Loafers -West Elm and IKEA gift cards because I really want to completely redecorate our living room
The 4th illustrated Harry Potter book would have been on that list, but my mom already bought it for me. She’s the best.
American Giant hoodie - I love the leggings I just got from there, so now I want a good quality hoodie Allbirds wool runners new hair straightener - I'll take any recs for this! I don't need anything super expensive but something that works decently well Sperry duck boots thinking about a new Kindle - my Fire is from 2011 and pretty slow/glitchy gift cards to Amazon or Ulta
My bday is after Xmas so my combined list is: Electric kettle w variable temperatures Bodum insulated French press Tea cup that has lid & insert to hold loose tea Lots of things from Lush Merino wool sweater cardigan Illustrated Goblet of Fire HP letter luggage tag Wanderclub gc
A really good sparkling wine my H bought me last year on a whim. I was like, get me more of that!! It's super expensive so not something I want on a normal Friday night but it's probably the best wine I've ever had and not something I'd ever pick out for myself.
Dark chocolate body oils/body washes/lotions/bath bombs (H did really well on this last Christmas so I want him to pick more out)
I bought my H a watch for Christmas yesterday (one I know he really wants) and while there, I picked out a watch for myself along with some other jewelry. So some of that. I'll have to send him the links to what I want, but need to do it in a way that he won't know that I got him the watch. Tricky!

Jelly roll pans New kitchen towels Cookbooks from Joy the Baker A Didi Gregorious t-shirt Some gear from Arch Apparel A new water bottle than can hold 30 oz of water or more, keep it cool for hours and not leak in my work bag

A charging station for my phone and watch. Cookie Sheets Fiesta Ware coffee mugs Dog DNA test, I'd love to know what Arrow's other half is. Non stick frying pan UD Honey Eye shadow Pallette.
custom Longchamp Le Pliage- the regular one I've used just about daily for over ten years gave out last week (holes worn in the corners and a handle fell off) Cuisinart air fryer/toaster oven and pans/accessories some resuable kitchen storage things- food huggers, reusable snack and sandwich size ziplocs B&N GCs
Last year, I started something for DH and I that whatever presents we got each other had to fit in a hatbox (the decorated xmas ones) and I really liked how that turned out. It was sort of like a glorified stocking.
What I really want is a new front door.
From my parents, I'll probably ask for a subscription box and some Williams Sonoma thing for the kitchen that I won't use. They have liked those ideas in past years, LOL.
A cast iron pan and grill pan Some good herbal teas - I'm cutting out caffeine and need some decent substitutes! A good pair of work flats that have arch support Honestly, i don't need stuff, i need money to pay medical bills. Lol.
