I spent too much money this year on house decor and clothing’s (mostly to make my home my own and got clothes that was more fitting for who I am now). I am going to aim for a frugal Christmas this year and focus on spending quality times with my son and friends.
DS is still pretty young, I think I am going to get him his own desk to draw on since my desk got crayon markings all over and one of those dreamlite stuff animals that shine stars on the ceiling. He seems to be drawn by them every time the commercials comes on.

Haven't thought that far ahead yet...my birthday list includes a trench coat, a new suit jacket, a docking station for my laptop, How to Cook Everything, and a new umbrella.

There's a lot I want! I'll probably only get a couple of things (since I pretty much buy my own presents from Santa! Just got myself a professional makeup brush set today for my birthday!)
iPod alarm clock/speakers Hand mixer iPad Hair straightener Clarisonic Planner PJs SHOES!!!!!! Sweater or two
A new cardigan, some bold camisoles, red flats, a brown handbag, movies, and some money for my Atlantic City trip coming up n April. Christmas is first then my birthday is 9 days later. We will see what happens.
I just added a new digital camera to my list...... my old one is on it's last leg
I could use a digital camera too! I want a DSLR
I would LOVE to get a DSLR, but for now I will settle for a point and shoot. Mine takes blurry pictures unless there is a flash or outside in bright light. It used to take great indoor, low light photos.

Like the Santa Baby song: a ring, I don't mean on the phone!
Aside from that I don't need much, I always struggle to come up with an Xmas list. My upgrade with Verizon is exactly on 12/25 so I'll be getting myself the iPhone 5.
Bought my oldest (20) a tablet boy twin(17) ski trip to vermont girl twin so far...fossil bag and wallet, pjs, and earings...her gifts will all be wearable

My Christmas list includes: a Le Creuset pot a kindle vanilla perfume fashion scarfs I have my Amazon cart almost filled up with my Christmas shopping. I love that I can just put stuff there until I am ready to buy.

I have gotten myself everything that I had wanted for the Holidays (read: Ipad), but a GC to my favorite salon spa would be especially welcome and appreciated.
DD wants more girly stuff....which is pretty general. I'm buying her the same Coach wristlet that I have. Even though there is no real reason for a five year old (even if she looks seven) to have a Coach anything.....I saw her admiring mine....and I'm sure she'll love having a pretty new purse of her own....just like Mom's!

I want to go to Tahoe in December so I asked for some early presents. Basically money to fund my trip lol and then gift cards for my fave snowboarding site, and gift cards for clothes probably, Id on't even remember what I asked for lol
Haven't thought that far ahead yet...my birthday list includes a trench coat, a new suit jacket, a docking station for my laptop, How to Cook Everything, and a new umbrella.
damn girl, that's a pretty big bday list.
I would love an iPad for Christmas but I am not buying myself one so that's not going to happen.
DD made her list to Santa the other night and it includes a lot of American Girl stuff and these magna dot things she sees advertised on the Hub. Not sure what I am doing because we are supposed to be going to Disney a couple weeks before Christmas.

I have a birthday coming up before Christmas, and I don't really know what I want for either. Maybe a Kindle Fire? I usually ask for gift cards so I can get some new clothes.
DD has a birthday coming up in 11 days and I got her a pink tricycle because she's been asking for one for a good three or four months now. For Christmas I'll get her a baby bathtub for her dolls because she's been asking for that too, but I don't know what else. She's also asked for a motorcylce and a trampoline....not gonna happen at 2!

This isn't a bad list. What steps are you taking to see that these things come to pass?

I want stuff for our new house, but since we haven’t even started renovations (and I’ll likely change my mind 100 times on what colors/design scheme I want before then) I’ll limit it to gift cards for Pier One, Pottery Barn, etc.
There’s nothing personally I really want, so I’ll probably ask my mom for jewelry. She has really good taste and I know she’ll pick out some cute necklace/earring combos of costume jewelry.
FF and I are limiting our gives to each other at $50 and will likely use that to fill each other’s stockings.
DS told me wants toys, and so far on his list for the grandparents I have:
Black & Decker Tool Bench (he’s obsessed with tools and fixing things) Fisher Price Soccer Net & Ball Little Tikes T-Ball Set DVD’s (The Lorax and any Pixar movies) Books
