What y'all getting for Xmas?

[AJL]

I usually buy my own Hanukkah presents. I bought myself a Michael Kors tote bag I've been eyeing and a knew tablet (Kindle Fire 8 HD.)

DH asked me what I want and I think I'm going to ask him to take the kids to see his mom in DFW for a weekend so I can have some alone time.

My boyfriend and I don't celebrate Christmas or exchange gifts so nothing from him.

I keep telling my parents not to buy me anything but my mom keeps asking. I priced out a bike I want for triathlon training so I'll probably ask her for a gift card to the bike shop or cash. My dad usually just gives me a check.

[andwhat]

I keep telling people to not buy us anything but they don't listen, so I don't know.

The only thing I really want if for my SIL to come to our new house and do some crafty projects that I don't have the skill for. I created a Pinterest board for the stuff I want her to do. So it only costs her time because I am going to buy any necessary supplies.

Congrats @natariru.

That is why we aren't doing gifts either.

[itsme]

H bought me some board games I wanted and an unknown item from Best Buy. I got him a tool he wanted and will get him some accessories for his Xbox.

[meshaliuknits]

I asked for a pile of comic books and for H to get my Storm seasonal prints framed.


Nerd, party of one.

[raangoli]

Nothing. I can't think of anything I want or need. I don't need more crap in my life, so I hope no one gets us stuff.

[iammalcolmx]

No idea. We buy each other little gifts for Christmas Day. and just buy whatever we want on Black Friday? I got the Surface Pro and H got a new phone. Maybe my Momma will realize how much I LOVED when she got me an Open Table Gift Card and get me another one.

I usually treat myself for Christmas. This year I was going to buy myself a Longchamp bag, but now I'm not since I'm going to Europe for my birthday.

Congrats @natariru!

Congrats @natariru

DH bought be a gift and he wants to give it to me so bad. He can't hold a secret and won't be able to keep it until Christmas, so we will just see how long he makes.

He woke me up Friday night to ask if he could just give it to me .

I didn't think we were doing gifts and things are way to hectic for that this year so I'm not giving him anything. Last year, I put together this great stocking and it took him 3 weeks to open and acknowledge it - so yeah.

The other night my H passed his phone to me to show an email he got and after looking at it, I'm one of those people that just keeps scrolling to look at other things. I saw an order confirmation from Kate Spade. Apparently, I'm getting something from KP. Woohoo!

[redwino]

I asked for a Clarisonic but what I really want is the knockoff one all of the Youtubers are talking about. I figured it would be too hard for DH to find a coupon code on YouTube from a makeup guru so I told him to just get the real thing. I asked my mom for a hoodie nightgown that she was wearing during Thanksgiving weekend. She got it from an old lady catalog and it looked so comfortable. I need several of them.

[dr.girlfriend]

After last year's disaster where I told DH to take DS and pick a necklace for me, I basically lined one up on Etsy for him and just had him put in the payment info, lol. He's also getting me this demilune table, although it won't arrive until January:

Do you want my Clarisonic or is that a no no?  I think I even have some new brush heads.  I will send it all to you if that's not gross lol.

Yay for new houses @natariru and andwhat!

I have no idea what I am getting. We do usually keep it a surprise, but we also make Amazon wishlists. Money is super tight around here and likely to get worse if DS needs another surgery. I'm having a hard time this year feeling like the kids aren't getting much, and it sucks. I know that it's not about the presents, but I still want things to feel magical for them.

Hmm... Maybe. It's a little weird but not a huge no. Lol. Let me ask DH if he bought one yet. Thanks for the offer

It's good to see you here today!

Yay for @natariru and andwhat!

I asked for a couple of new vegan cookbooks, and for fun books. Then I asked for a bunch of random shit because my mom was hounding/guilting me into adding stuff to an elfster wishlist.

I've now got a couple pair of shoes, a couple of sweaters, some amazing raw hemp lotion I tried at a market, gift cards, a mobile hotspot (useful since I work remotely), and donations to my favorite org.

I'm pretty sure H got me a new large suitcase since the wheels of mine broke, and a spiralizer for my kitchenaid mixer because I kept obsessing over it and may have sent him a coupon for it, lol.

[orangeblossom]

I want this sit and stand desk from Ikea, that DH is willing to get, but I'll probably hold off on him getting it. Honestly, some new slippers and pajamas are fine with me. DH says he doesn't want anything, also fine, because I'm not in the mood to think of anything on my own.

[threejs]

Old lady, party of one, over here. I REALLY want both a vacuum steamer and steam mop for Christmas. Hopefully, someone in my family gets them. I also need a new iron, and would kill for someone to get me the pedestals for the new washer and dryer I got earlier this year. At the time, I could not justify spending an extra $600, but now that I'm doing so much bending getting clothes in and out, I wish I'd just done it. Or not gotten a front loader.

That hooded nightgown redwino mentioned also sounds right up my alley.

Congrats on the new homes @natariru and andwhat!

[newnamesameperson]

A really nice coat and an emerald.

[Queen Mamadala]

I got H a Deadpool jacket with a matching mask and gloves, a Jiu-Jitsu gi and an ipad pro. Those were pre-Yule/Christmas gifts, and not a surprise. Just things we've talked about getting over the last several months.

The gifts he's opening on Christmas, burgundy silk boxers (as a sort of joke. I've joked about getting them for two years now, so I figured I should just do it already), an Alexander Dumas book (his favorite author), Winterfell and Sherlock's Study scented wax melts, and this Alexander Dumas miniature doll. He collects various figures/figurines.
