No idea, but my birthday was just in October, so I feel like I got the things that I wanted? Typically I ask DH for chocolate in my stocking. And finally over the years he has understood that a little bit of nice chocolate is way better than a ton of gross cheap chocolate.
4 days alone to sleep, clean, organize, and throw stuff away.
I won't get that though, so my actual list: - new mattress (joint gift to ourselves from DH & I) - the Cooking Light diet plan cookbook - new sneakers maybe?

A new purse and an electric toothbrush. I want to pick these out myself, so hopefully DH will just get me gift cards for these items. Or I may end up buying them myself.
I have a couple expensive ideas. I'm dying for a Ninja Coffee Bar so I can get rid of the Keurig. Would also like someone else to pay for servicing my antique sewing machine so I can use it.

Dh and I just bought a new dishwasher, so we agreed to a $50 limit this year. I like presents so I'm not nixing them completely. I don't know what I want with the $50 though. I'm asking my mom for a shelf system from Ikea for our mudroom. I'm asking mil for 2 tables or desks for that room as well so it can be done! I'll use money from FIL for fun stuff, which will be new tennis shoes since I don't like the ones I bought in April and can't seem to sell them.

I just remembered that I thought to myself a few months ago that I'd like some more cute pajamas, especially now that I'm done nursing and don't need my boobs to be readily available anymore.
There’s nothing I really want. Other than a new purse but DH is a moron about this and goes to Nordstrom and buys what he likes - which means he spends a lot on things that aren’t worth it.
I think I’m going to ask for a night at a local resort type place so I can do a girls weekend next Spring.
Nothing. In my sibling gift exchange, I usually ask for liquor, cheese, tea or coffee.
I love that you ask for cheese. I would never think to ask that but would loooove to receive it.
I would have never thought of it on my own but SIL sent it to me once and I was so unexpectedly excited for it that I now put it on the list every year!
I want us to get a new kind sized bed frame and mattress too, and we can move our current queen to the guest room, since the mattress currently in there has seen better days.

saraml13, I love that you're asking for more of your china! It never crossed my mind to ask for more for Christmas, but I would love it! I just have Fiestaware, so I'm always grabbing more random pieces to add, but it's so expensive. I'm stealing your idea!
Hmm, after reading, I'm adding a tea pot to my list - I inherited my grandma's china set and got place settings for 12, the creamer and sugar bowl and salt/pepper shakers, but no tea pot!
I also want new pajamas, one of those Lisa Simpson kneeling chairs (you know, the ergonomic kind with no back), a jig saw puzzle, and an Agatha Christie collection for my kindle.

I also decided to add a jigsaw puzzle to my list. I also added one of those felt things that you can roll up the puzzle and put it away if you haven't finished it.
