I have lots of random stuff on a list for myself that I would probably never buy for myself.
Skylight Calendar Cadence travel containers Tiem clip-in spin shoes & clip in pedals for my knock-off Peloton Bathtub tray/caddy (w/slot for iPad and wine glass) Silicone baking mats Soma PJs
DH and I decided we probably shouldn't pitch no gift giving, but we are both going to tell everyone we don't want anything and if they insist on gifting us something, it should be a shared experience, wine we can enjoy with each other, etc.
I did go ahead and tell my mom this and that I want to go to Meow Wolf, which just opened here, because it's already booked up for the next several weeks. So hopefully a meal out and tickets to that with her will be my gift this year.
Everything else I want and will buy myself over the next few months is super boring. Like a small suitcase for work, new jeans, nice sunglasses, etc.
A nice cooler for us to take on our trips Gift cards to buy some new clothes The 2022 Subpar Parks wall calendar Maybe some new masks - I'm getting really sick of the ones I have been wearing the last year to work.
Jabra earbuds Nintendo NES a leather charging cable roll for travel A Shinola watch, although this more be more like a 40th birthday gift for next year
All I have asked for (and MH bought) was a blanket form LL Bean. They had a 10% off sale so I sent him the link and the code and voila, I have a gift lol.
Other than that, I have nothing. I will be looking for ideas here.

My wishlist is boring and kid-centered this year but I don’t care.
@@@
Gift card to store that sells breastmilk jewelry Lay flat professionally designed family photo album Baby handprint/footprint ornament Possibly scrapbook and scrapbooking supplies
Wireless earbuds are the only thing I have so far, but that's probably enough. I only get gifts from my parents and brother. I'll give my brother the names of a couple books I'd like, my mom will get the earbuds, and that's about it.
My MIL will most likely give me cash or a gift card.
Polywood adirondack chairs (or really money towards them, I don't expect our families to actually buy us the chairs) TFD pivot for the Peloton B&N gift cards
That's really it, I don't need anything in particular and I don't want more stuff just for the sake of stuff.
I keep running Amazon and target lists throughout the year and then send them to h. I also want another pair of rothy’s sneakers, but can’t decide between the sand and navy.
Absolutely no clue. I can't think of any clothes/shows I want, nor any gadgets (work related or not). H and I both want a soda stream as we drink a ton of seltzer, so that'll be a joint thing.
Jewelry seems pointless (my usual go to since FIl is a jeweler), as I'm not out and about much with the new job. I'm good on crafting supplies.
There is a portable laptop monitor I want as a 2nd screen for I want to work in the local coffeeshop or library, but I'm trying to get work to pick up the tab on that one. I think I'm just boring? Oh! We're getting quotes to put ip a screen porch, so maybe $ towards patio furniture/rug.
H wanta to ditch gift giving altogether, but I'm not ready to take that step yet. Since we don't have kids, I feel like it would make Christmas just another day. Even when we go visit family. We haven't put a tree up in like 5 years (but we're doing something this year dammit!), and I need a little something cheery this winter.

Bike spoke beads Cell phone holder and basket for my bike Felt flower bouquets for all my empty flower vases around the house A rain chain - I’m thinking maybe Lily cup shaped? Various baking stuff - reusable piping bag, dough whisk, thermapen Some kind of new purse and wallet, mine are looking haggard, but I haven’t picked what I want Knife sharpener A new serving platter

Can you please share a link to this? I don't work from home often enough to have a permanent work station, but it would be amazing to have a second monitor that is easy to set up when I do.
I think I want a Peloton. If I got one that would be my only gift, I'm sure lol. If I don't get one, I'd like 25 lb dumbbells. I need to level up my workouts and have no desire to go back to our old gym, but that shit is expensive!
Another big item is I want bookshelves built-in where we currently just have a metal chest and floating shelves.
I'd like to get some new furniture pieces, but that doesn't feel like it should be a gift for ME since it's to make our home better.
Ideas: --Apple Watch --I want a new shelf made for a niche in my foyer wall b/c I have never been happy with how it is now. --New vacuum--might buy and make it a gift for me & DH --Soma PJs --Got myself the Lego gingerbread house b/c i loved it in the past but it had sold out. I am not typically into Lego but am going to make it "for" me and figure that the kids can play with it. the little girls will love the gingerbread baby! --Not sure what else yet
We need new furniture in some areas but I will probably just keep this separate. I want to do a bunch of house-related projects so maybe will work something in from that angle, but not sure.
World peace and substantive action on climate change. 🤣 No?
I think I want experiences. I’m thinking about skiing this winter? If someone made a donation in my name to a favorite charity I wouldn’t object. I don’t really want much else.

We have polywood adirondack chairs. I bought 4 from costco and 2 directly from polywood. I like the costco ones better and they were cheaper (and they go on sale)!
