So, what do YOU want for Christmas?

More place settings for my formal china and silverware sets.  I have six place settings for each that I use all the time but my table seats 8 so I'd like to be able to use all of them when I have a full table.

A le Creuset Panini set is on my list too.

A Daryl Dixon action figure and a hoodie from my favorite brewery.

I would like two things:

A printer/scanner that prints great photos (higher end model/brand)
An external hard drive for my laptop.

That's about it. It's going to be a smaller Christmas here this year. DH hasn't had overtime hours for more than 8 months. We are okay, but there's not a ton of extra this year.

Well one thing I know I'm getting and only one person can give me that... so that can't be on my list.

But otherwise, I'm always happy with iTunes GC, Starbucks GC, LEGO, Sephora GC (or stuff from Benefit, HD and Smashbox) and any of the hardware from David's Tea (well... and their tea). iPhone and iPad gadgets are always good too... 

I would like a stock pot and/or second dutch oven.

I want to keep Christmas low key this year, if that is possible.  So I am going to write down some very small things for my family to get me and hope for the best.

I want adhesive for scrapbooking and MAYBE a new trimmer, but I'm thinking I may buy this on black Friday when Michaels has the big sale.

I might ask for a new pair of tennis shoes if I can find a pair on line that I like because my husband will need a link.

I want original Aunt Sally's pralines from New Orleans.

I might ask for a Catherine's gift card.

I'd like to get rubber soles put on my leather boots.

I am very easy to buy for and never have any problems coming up with wish lists, lol!

I collect DVD sets of nostalgic t.v. shows that I enjoyed as a girl. I would like to start the 'Police Woman' series. Or add to my other collections that I have some of the seasons for.

I have not seen Pretty Woman in years and would like to get that on DVD this Christmas. 

I would love some photography idea books, portrait posing, lighting techniques, an expanded manual for my 7D, or Photoshop Elements 12. I don't 'need' any more lenses, but a macro lens would be cool. I've been toying with the idea of a Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 lens as well. Or maybe an 85mm 1.8.

I am always happy to get a new pair of ballerina slippers or a bottle of perfume. And you can never have too many nail polishes.

I really would like a wine aerator, some decorative bottle stoppers, and a nice bottle of red wine (one that I might not have tried yet). 

I love pretty notebooks for making lists, jotting down ideas for photos, etc. 

I already bought a pair of over the knee boots this season, but would love a pair in dark brown or black, or to the knee riding boots.

I always thought it would be neat to have one of those big fluffy powder puffs. 

Lingerie and pretty sleepwear is always a hit with me. I love satin pajamas.

A small pair of gold stud earrings.

Any newer book by Stephen King or Dean Koontz.

Incense sticks and scented candles.

Pretty knitted tall socks to wear with hiking boots. Fingerless gloves. Ear muffs. 

A book of word jumble puzzles.

I have enough 'stuff' so even though try coming up with things that would be nice to receive, it's difficult!

But I am wishing for tickets for the local production of 'Grease' for me and my oldest DD. I took my youngest to see 'Les Miserables' earlier this year, so I'm hoping to take the oldest to a show aswell.
And the DD's could use new pillows, so I'm wishing for that aswell.

Hm, I sound like I'm not at all selfish this Christmas, but trust me, if I could think of something *I* need/want, I would tell everyone

Glass and glass stuff. I have an order all filled out for Delphi, ready to go. I've already ordered DH $200. airplane clock.

I want a new iMac. I absolutely do not need one, and would discourage anyone but my mother from buying me one.

I would like DH to buy me a bigger diamond for my engagement ring, but that is just not fiscally responsible, and a bit selfish. I reserve my selfish wants for daydreams and going to sleep dreams. He does not know this bit of information.

A new iPhone 6 would be awesome, but I don't really need a new phone.

Something I'm running out of and is relatively inexpensive is a bottle of Fresh perfume.

All that being said, we just paid for DS's braces up front, so that is our Christmas gift to the family for the next few years, I think...

GoPro 3+ and accessories such a a decent pole, clips, memory card, batteries/charger and case

Skylanders Trap Team and a few other PS4 games

Domke Messenger bag

Canon 50mm 1.8 and a 40mm 2.8 pancake lens

Clarisonic Mia 2

A pair of black tahitian pearl drop earrings.

Ashley, what a great gift idea! 

Whipea, I love my Canon 50mm 1.8 lens. It is great bang for the buck and I think you will really enjoy it if you do receive one for Christmas.
