GTKY - what are you asking for Christmas or Hannukah

[anaberry]

I want to see your lists ladies!

[anaberry]

I also admit I made this thread because I have noo idea what to ask for. Plenty of things I need (clothes that fit me, everything is too loose now) and a new phone, but I feel this is more stuff I need to buy on my own.
Also husband is CLUEless about gift giving, so I usually have to tell him exactly what I need. Otherwise he will end up getting me a bowling ball with his name on it (or a beer maker... or something completely ridiculous!)

[ampaints]

Not much. We got Fitbits which is our big gift so we're just doing stockings for each other. I've been trying to think of something though because for H's family we draw names. Of course depending on who gets me will determine what I ask for in part. I'm thinking of asking for a ModCloth gift card. I can get separates there and once I can't wear them any longer I have a Facebook group that I should easily be able to sell them on.

8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. Gonna pump a bottle, hand it to husband, and go crash in the spare room until I'm done. I need this so badly.

I can't wait.

I'm asking for new running shoes and one of these necklaces:

Those necklaces are nice. I've been debating that kind or getting just the first letter of their names. Decisions decisions!

For me, BF and I are exchanging workout watches - I think Fitbit for me and Garmen for him. We do one other gift for each other that's a surprise. So I'm asking for material for quilting (precuts), cutting ruler, a book, and a cute notebook.

[anaberry]

ajetter, I loooove those necklaces! Such a cute idea! I may just steal the idea, but ask for it to be a Mother's Day gift (I'll say that I need it because I never got a push present).
Well, in theory H got me a push present, but it was an iPod that I can use underwater, you know, because he swims every week and I never have time to do it so... Now he's asking me if I got the wrong gift again because I haven't used it. See? He's clueless ladies.
ampaints what's mod cloth and why would you have to sell theclothes later? I do a gift exchange in my family too, by the way! Far better I think than getting something for every person in such a big family.

I've asked DH for stitch fix. He thinks the whole concept is ridiculous but I just want to give it a try. So I say that's what Xmas gifts are for, gifts that you wouldn't normally get. ILs are getting me fancy new knives I'm pretty excited about too.

[ampaints]

anaberry www.modcloth.com/ I love their clothes! I wouldn't have to sell them later, but if I get skirts I hope that eventually they'll be to big and I would know that I could resell for a decent price to fund more clothing!

I've done stitch fix for a while. I usually only end up liking one or two things, and some of the pricing is questionable, but I've gotten some really fun stuff.

A Tula and a nice digital scale.
I live an exciting life..

Love those necklaces! Been looking at a few different options for something like that. DH was going to get me a push present, but I told him to just hold off until Christmas. So, that's what I'm asking for.  No clue what I'm getting DH. Guess it's time to ask him for ideas.

[abvintage]

Ikea bar stools, a new rug, and a new light fixture for our bedroom.

[ady45]

I asked for a gift card to a clothing store. I need new jeans since all my old jeans are way too baggy.

I also asked for a ring with DS's name and birth date. I have one like that with DD'S name and birth date. I'm pretty sure H got this for my birthday.

I've thought about asking for a tula. H would tell me that it's not worth the money. Lol

[zonagirl]

MH and I don't usually get each other presents. Is that weird? Also, we don't have wish lists. Growing up, I wasn't taught to ask for things for Christmas. I don't have anything against it, and I might do wish lists with my kids, but I don't think I could ever make one. It just feels strange.

We were planning on doing that this weekend with ear plugs involved. But I got a good night sleep last night so I'm going to hold off until I need it.

[kaeguri]

I want a food processor. So bad. Or a Fitbit to replace the one I lost. Preferably one with gps so I can track my run distances. Or a light, cordless vacuum. When did I get so boring? I'm getting H a quad copter thing.

I'm really bad at asking for gifts and remembering what I want so I have a running amazon wish list that j just add to throughout the year.

[packmomma]

I'm asking for books and cds. I'm getting H an automatic watch winder.
We're also buying most everyone's presents this month in amazon because we get 5% back. Fffc?

[abvintage]

Hijack post warning:

elizabethnevadap, what are you looking for in pans? We want a really good set of pans. I'm assuming stainless steel but is it really worth getting the All-Clad vs what Costco sells?

[tmclawchick]

zonagirl DH and I don't exchange gifts either, I thought we'd be the only ones!

[hopefulreturn]

I'm asking my mom for a Tula. DH and I aren't really doing gifts this year. We will do a stocking for each other with little things.

Neither do we. We buy stuff when we want it. Gifts are just not either of our love language.

[noname]

zonagirl most of the time DH and I don't exchange gifts either. Or we'll get something big around Xmas time (bedroom furniture) and call it our gift to each other. Or we just buy something ourselves and call it a gift. The best was when I wanted new exercise clothes (to lounge in of course) so we went to Target and I picked some stuff out. While we were there I picked up some spanx too. Yep, DH wrapped up exercise clothes and spanx to give me for Xmas lol.

[packmomma]

H and I are like kids when it comes to Christmas. We just like opening gifts. So we usually get each other lots of little things. When we first got together and we were broke I got him boxers,socks, and undershirts. Took them all out of the packaging and wrapped them individually. I laughed so hard when he saw the tree.

We usually get each other things we need anyway. Like H always needs jeans and shoes, he is hard on them. We don't do anything elaborate for each other.

I got a mothers necklace for DS1 and I want another with both of their names now. There are a ton of good options on Etsy with lots of different designs. That will be my Christmas present.

[misstunes]

H and I do $100 max for gifts. He usually gets me something clothing related which I always like. I'm buying myself new snowboard gear (boots, pants, jacket).

I'm sure we talked about this back when we were ready to pop. I think push presents are silly (FFFC?) I wasn't doing H some huge favor by pushing out his baby. I was doing something that the two of us decided together and were partners through. I don't "deserve" anything other than my beautiful baby.
