s/o gifts...what is on our wishlist

[momin2013]

I want a Nintendo Switch.

[ssmjlm]

Oh I would be all over that Chloe bag!

We're finally doing the laundry room (went super basic with the builder) so our anniversary present was new washer/dryer (thank you bonus money) and new floors. We will need cabinets so that will basically be it.

I would love a spa gc and DH told me to get the new iPhone since mine is almost 3 years old.

I don't know, I don't feel like I NEED anything right now. I would love a new mixer in a pretty teal/aqua color. Mine is 9 years old.

Can we interest you in a Chloe bag?

[chickadee77]

I've got a bunch of stuff on my wishlist - the main "thing" I want is some sort of scanner to scan all of my hard copy photos. After going through two separate evacuations this year, it would be nice to just be able to grab a memory card or something small rather than bulky photo albums. I'll take recommendations if anyone has them!

Beyond that, I want stuff for the house - built-in shelving we've been talking about doing, a few pool repairs.

On my ultimate list is a baby grand, but I doubt that will happen unless we luck into one somehow. Again, anyone in FL looking to part with a baby grand, feel free to contact me, lol.

Mine is super boring...
Clothes, especially sweaters
Slippers
Winter boots- maybe sorel or ll bean
New everyday dishes, but I don’t know what
Amazon gift cards

Huh. I come from a family that insists I have and publish a wish list. So every year I wrack my brain to think of what to put on it. I’m the type of person that if there is something I want, I just save up and get it for myself. So starting in the fall, I resist the temptation to buy myself stuff thinking “surely those people who asked about my wish list will use it when selecting gifts for me”, and year after year they go out and get me whatever the hell they want, usually resulting in me missing out on the opportunity to purchase season items that won’t be available after the holidays (or which will be much more expensive) — stuff like boots, sweaters, etc.

So this year I’m done. No more wish lists. People can suck it up and fend for themselves. Or get me nothing. At least that’s better than preventing me from getting myself what I really want.

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.

Same. Except no one will buy me gift cards except for my mom, who ever year for the last 15 has bought me a JCrew gift card. Not my style, but she realllly wants it to be. Give it up, Mom. I'm never going to be preppy. 

I want a fancy new Garmin, but it's over the gift $$ threshold we set. So...?

[shamrockshake]

I want a singer steam press. My life is super exciting

[CheeringCharm]

I LOVE that color for the Marcie! That is my favorite bag ever. I have the small in black and tan one and switch them out seasonally. Now I'm thinking I need to add blush to my collection for spring

What I really want are diamond studs. I just got my ears pierced again (I inadvertently let them close up when I was pregnant ages ago) and I have CZ studs in right now. I think they're supposed to be a little over 1 carat each. I shudder to think what they would cost if they were real though, lol.

I have the same problem. I get so much random stuff with maybe a thing or two off my wishlist that it’s not even worth waiting for. Same with the kids. I put some of their favorite things, or things they could really use on there, like snow boots and gloves, and they get other stuff instead. So I might not bother with a list for myself this year!

[brooke77]

-diamond studs
-watch
-nice point and shoot camera

I also really need gift cards so I can buy new work clothes for when I go back to work after maternity leave. I don’t think I have any professional clothes that are pumping friendly.

[longtimenopost]

Last year was my makeup year (Sigma brushes and Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette)

This year is my shoe year. My mom already got me Rothy's and Allbirds so I could have them for a trip in Nov.

I also want Athleta Restore joggers.

Plus I got the new Pixel 2 this month and I love it!

[ellipses84]

Tons of stuff. Now that we are in a cold climate, I realized I don't have a lot of cold weather stuff, so hats/gloves/scarves, sweaters, boots and booties top my list. I've also run out of perfume for the first time in a couple years. House stuff if we have our own place by Christmas. I LOVE all of the Project 62 house stuff at Target.

[ellipses84]

preppy I love that locket. I've always been obsessed with enamelware. I don't know how I'd choose one color. What color do you want?

I just keep an Amazon wish list for me and the kids year round. It saves me money because if I'm on the fence about buying something I'll put it on the wish list and buy it later if the price drops, or decide we don't need it. It also means I don't need to think of ideas every 6 months.

I am having a tough time deciding but think I want navy or grey. I am also having a tough time choosing.

I literally just tell my MIL that I don’t want or need anything. Then she will give me a gift card because for some reason she will not just do cash like the other parents. I guess I feel like I am too old for a wish list. If I want something, I buy it so it drives me nuts that she asks every year.

My mom also won’t take no for an answer. And I don’t ask for stuff that I have my heart set on because she’ll buy a cheaper, lower quality version (not trying to be spoiled about it ... I’d rather not have Item X than have a knockoff Item X that’s going to break after two uses).

So I started asking for things for the house/kitchen ... olive oil, spices, laundry detergent. That way I can get use out of it, even if it’s not my ideal brand, and it also frees up money from my grocery budget so I can buy stuff for myself.

[oregonpachey]

I keep an ongoing Amazon list. My stuff is super boring.

Salt cellar
Cake dome
Knitting books
James Herriot books
Puzzles
Interchangeable needle set
Table linens
Tin prints for the laundry room
New vacuum

[pooh8402]

Lessee what I have on my Amazon wishlist...

Bracelets for my fitbit to dress it up
Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner
Winter stuff now that I've moved to a place with an actual winter: wool socks, base layers, etc.
Ski jacket, pants, goggles, gloves
A couple of phone cases
The ultimate Crayola box!
Metallic coloring pencils
EOs, and a case to hold them (I like the way they smell, and I refuse to use MLMs)

I'm not counting anything for the house. For the house, I want a kitchen table, a dining table, dining chairs, slipcovers for my living room couches, and a cotton boll wreath.

Omg I love James Herriot! I've been thinking about splurging on the whole set in ebook, but maybe I should ask for hard copy for my library!
