And you are requesting something that is $200+, what is it?
Inspire me.
We love exchanging gifts, but nothing is really jumping out at me this year. I typically give DH a list with a bunch of links. Right now I only have a handful of Tory Burch bags on it that I like, but am not drooling over.
I have an iPad, don't need a new laptop, and have had all of my recent (past few yrs) jewelry wants fulfilled.
I don't know what to put on my list. Total first world problem, I know.

I really want a sewing machine this year. I occasionally get an idea for a project that would be so much easier with a sewing machine. I want a good one.
Once I had DS, I loved having a clutch type wallet that held my phone and a few regular items to make swapping between my regular purse and the diaper bag easier.
Yes we are exchanging. I gave him a list of books, DVDs etc that I want. I gave my family the same list. It also doubles as my birthday list (my birthday is today ;D).
He has not given me a list and I made one for him for my family. His birthday is Dec 2nd so his Christmas list also doubles as a birthday list.
Our limit for each other is $50 total. We aren't rolling in the dough though so it works for us.
Maybe I should default to a spa GC. I just really like tangibles. Handbags are usually high on my list but I am still so in love with the LV cross body I got in June, and am not using my other favorites due to this.
Kimi - I dream of having an embroidery machine one day. Maybe I should check them out on Amazon. My sewing machine has gotten so much use since I biughtitna few years ago.
I suppose I'm pretty cheap, cause most of the stuff I want is $50 or less. I would love some new athletic pants from Athleta, which can get pricey quickly. And I'm buying DH a package of yoga classes, but that's only because he is too cheap to get it for himself.
It's usually jewelry. But I think this year I want money towards a pair of diamond earrings I am savings for. If not jewelry, then a new purse, but I just bought myself an LV, so it seems silly to get another new bag.
I am getting a Tory Burch wallet. I also have been going for massages every 6 weeks. Cloudbee if you haven't had a prenatal massage get one. They seriously are the best thing ever and the beds they put you on have the best pillows. I wish I could stay there forever.
Oh I thought of a gift that I've had on my list for years but MH doesn't understand why I want it so badly - a le creuset oval dutch oven. Someday it shall be mine!

I'm asking for nice, new pillows (like Memory Foam pillows--those are $99 each. Not exciting but I really can't find a pillow I like and need to get a better night's sleep.

We're probably keeping things very MM with our gifts to each other this year.
If I were asking for a $200+ gift, though, I would ask for a new laptop (preferably a Mac if we had a lot of extra spending money), diamond earrings, or a pearl strand necklace.
But that won't help you since you already have that stuff ... maybe furniture or home decor items, a handbag, a watch, go out to a really nice dinner, or go on a trip?

MH got me one from Marshall's for my birthday last year. I love that thing!
