So my hubby is hounding me for a Christmas list, but I just don't know what I want for Christmas other than a skype call with my missionary son and spending time with my hubby and kids.

If I don't come up with a list, he's gonna surprise me with something and that's never good... bless his well intending heart! I don't like surprises, especially when it'll be something he wants instead of something that I'd want. I don't want an omelet maker... he wants one. And I definitely don't want season tickets to U of U football. So help me out, friends. Please tell me what you want for Christmas and maybe, just maybe that'll help me come up with a list to give my hubby.
 
I just want to relax with my hubby. We are going to do an overnight at the winery in January. That is what we will do for our Christmas gift to each other :) We don't exchange as we buy what we need.. it is only the two of us so this is fine by me. We have done it this way for 20 years.. the first 6 Christmas' we exchanged (engaged Christmas plus the first 5 married ones) but then we would get a large item together like a TV or something and then we just decided not to exchange anymore. It is easier that way and no pressures or anything. I just like to do our normal traditions and looking at the tree. That to me and christmas music and watching It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve makes us happy! :)

Good luck with your list!
 
I'm getting a Gemi Die Cutting/Embossing machine. It's in a box i the attic at the moment, was purchased in a store anniversary sale a few months ago.
I always like craft supplies, my favourite nuts, BBC history DVDs and art books.
 
I put things that I want (like a new cube rack for my closet, earrings ) on my list. Do you need some new shirts or something like that?

I'm really picky on my clothes, so I have to try everything on. I have bought a couple of shirts that he can wrap for me, but he wants some things to choose from so I can kinda be surprised. The only thing I've thought of so far is a new hair dryer. I know, lame, but that's all I need right now. I really need to get a life... haha!
 
I want to redo our photo wall, so I asked for that. I want to do canvases of many of the photos and my grand babies. I told him, to wrap a frame with a GO for IT handwritten note.
I also want a two day vacation, with him. He sets up the babysitters and all, and just whisks me away. Pure heaven!
and a new apron! bhahhahha
 
Oh man, if money were no object, I'd ask for a new camera this year. Mine is getting a wee bit sluggish after 7 years of me using it.

Other than that, I'd love cash to buy new clothes, new white towels for our bathrooms, some of my perfume, and a gift card to a craft store so I can shop now and later. LOL
 
DH and I aren't exchanging gifts this year. Money was a little tighter than usual with him being laid off, so we put what we had in to the kids. Neither one of us really needs anything. I did ask my mom for a few pieces from the Joanna Gaines Hearth and Hand Collection at Target :)
 
I already got my gift. A new camera that I'm loving. It's a point and shoot but a few steps up from the one I had. I don't really need anything fancier than that. And my Honey got me some new Christmas/wintery dishes that I had been looking at. Things to use during THIS holiday season! I always like new books, new music, more kits to scrap with and hobby items. But I pretty much have all I really need so it's hard to think of anything I really want. It would be fun if we could have a few days away together just the two of us. At a nice B&B all decorated for Christmas. Or something like that. Where there is snow. And a big fireplace to sit by. Just a peaceful, quiet place to go to so we can relax.
 
Book token, spa voucher ( for a sauna in my case ) , in fact any type gift voucher. That way you get exactly what you want. And they can be wrapped in a fun way,if he feels you need something to " open ".
 
I don't know. I need some clothes and shoes... but I don't want my family buying those... and I hate shopping, lol! :giggle
 
My list isn't very exciting... mainly replacement stuff for my camera (lens filter and new battery). But I did ask for another pair of Allbirds... I'm kind of addicted to those shoes!

Yep, this is so me! I need clothes and shoes, but I hate shopping for them and I definitely don't want someone else picking them out for me.

I've expanded my list from just a hair dryer to:
1. hair dryer
2. blue tooth keyboard for my ipad mini
3. wash and vacuum my car

He wants something that the girls can give me too. Honestly I don't care if they give me anything. I just want them to treat me with respect and actually do the things I ask them to do, the first time I ask them. I don't think that's asking for too much, is it?
 
I have on my list for the girls - new bathrobe, slippers, pjs - kind of boring but I could use them and can't be bothered to shop for them. Any kind of GC is always good, especially for books.
 
We're not doing gifts for each other this year- because we leave Christmas morning for a week long vacation in Mexico! We are doing 'experiences' instead! My daughter & I are going swimming with dolphins & I'm trying to talk her into going ziplining with us too! :)
