Timely post as both our anniversary and the holidays are approaching.
Ideally, I'd say nothing because I don't want more stuff, but if I had to choose, I have the following:
- A new stock pot, but nothing massive. 5 or 6 qt. I have to find one I like - new iPhone 8 plus - new fitness tracker (maybe the Fitbit Charge 2) - new flats - either a pair of Rothy's or a pair of leopard print flats - new wallet for the money I won't have because I spent it all on the above items
I am really struggling with this, because I don't have time for much right now. I used to always be able to come up with swim/bike/run toys that I wanted. #goodbyeoldlife
So far I've asked Calvin for citrine earrings (Hobbes' birth stone). What I really wish I could do is set up a registry for materials that we need for our bathroom reno. Tile, vanity, sink top, faucet, toilet, grout... Why is this not a thing? I would love that.
I can also come up with some nail polish colors that I want, but I'm also like... I would really rather have that now, and can just as easily add it to an Amazon order.
-Patagonia Better Sweater 1/4 zip -THESE new balance sneakers -rose gold fit bit alta -THIS parker thatch sweatshirt -An enameled locket - www.beklina.com/collections/jewelry/products/french-enameled-lockets -A curling wand -THIS Chloe crossbody. I don't think this one will happen but a girl can dream. If not I might buy it for myself when I get my bonus in Feb.
-Eagle Creek/eBags packing cubes and an LL Bean/eBags hanging toiletry kit (even though we won't be going on vacation anytime soon) -Self-inking address stamper -Tarte concealer sticks -possibly an all-in-one printer/copier/scanner, if a cheap one can be found -Cooking stuff that adds up (olive oil, peppercorns, spices) -possibly a small soft-sided cat carrier, since ours is huge and partly broken (and if we ever have to transport all three at once, we're screwed because they wouldn't all go in the big carrier without a fight) - maybe a mother's necklace if I find one I like
I’d like a bottle of Ralph Lauren Romance perfume, a Sunday Supper cookbook, and a name plate necklace with two E’s on it for the twins.
I bought tickets for my husband for an NHL game in January, so that’s his Christmas present, but I guess it’s also for me since I’m going too! We’re going to see his (not mine lol) favourite team in their brand new arena. Tickets weren’t cheap (ugh) but it’ll be fun. It’s a 3 hour drive from here so I also booked a nice hotel and dinner reservations at a cool tapas restaurant. My parents have already agreed to babysit the twins, so we get a night away!! He’s impossible to buy for and I know he’s going to freak ouuut about this, so I’m more excited for his reaction than I am about anything that I want this year lol
There is so little I really need. I still have piles of GCs I haven't used from last Christmas because I haven't really done anything for myself since DD was born. I have way too many clothes and jewelry - maybe if I ever get around to a big purge I'll be able to add more to the list. So far this is all I have-
Athleta sculptek jeans Hillary's book New tupperware set $$$$ for our renovation Dunkin gift cards
It's all stuff for our new house - curtains, art, rugs, furniture. I'm having the hardest time finding an end table though. They're all too small for the space.
Mostly I just want house stuff (I won't get all of this--I'll probably buy the lights in a couple of weeks because the old ones are hideous, and ask for the desk for Christmas). -Pendant lights for kitchen -White parsons desk and a chair for my loft/library -New rug for living room -New dining room light fixture
There is also a pair of Kendra Scott earrings IIke, and I wouldn't mind a new purse, but we are needing to spend a lot of money on the new baby stuff and our house, so I think we'll go small this year
I recently started keeping a list in my phone of things as I think of them, because ultimately if someone asks me what I want around Christmas my mind will go blank.
Here's what's on the list right now.
- Beats headphones - Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer - Lush bath melts - Instant Pot - North Face puffer vest - iTunes GC - Diamond stud earrings - Etsy address stamp - Electric griddle
Not much since we just redid our entire dining room after years of planning. So I finally have my live edge slab table (swoon).
-diamond eternity band (wanted for our 10th wedding anniversary... but jumped on the table instead, so this goes back on the list) -new house slippers -IPL treatment for my acne scars -new soffits/fascia boards for our house

I'm so boring to buy for now. I have a million things I "want" - clothes, shoes, workout clothes, home decor. But I want to choose it all myself. So that leaves me asking for gift cards....boooooring.
- Fancy Hairdryer - I'm thinking a Solano - Cool Mom Sneakers - Maybe leather Vans or Addidas NMDs or Nike Flyknits - Make-up - maybe a new lipstick or highlighter palette - Skin care stuff - Pull over from Lands End - Poncho or open front cardigan to wear with leggings
