I would love an armchair and footstool that I've had my eye on. The only other thing I can think of off the top of my head is some more Sistaco nail powders. I would love for someone in my family to put together a stocking for me, filled with my favourite lollies and chocolates. Every Christmas morning there are three stockings under the tree, and four people in my family. Guess who puts the stockings together, and guess who doesn't get one? I wouldn’t stand for that! I would (and do!) go out and buy myself all the fun little things I wish someone would buy for me but won’t, and fill my stocking myself! Then on Christmas morning, I take it all out and ooh and ahh over all the stuff that “Santa” brought me. I am Santa in my house too, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to be the one to get chumped just because DH won’t bother and DD is too young. ETA: Your post reminds me of this! youtu.be/FOVCtUdaMCU

For the first time in forever, I don't have anything on my list. Same. The one thing that I really want you can buy. I had surgery Oct 19 and what I want is for my midfoot fusion to successful and that I will be walking by Christmas.

It was the same for me for 16 years, and I finally told husband that it's his job to fill my stocking. It actually worked and I don't have to do it anymore. (I totally thought he would forget and my stocking would be flat and he would be shamed, but he came through.)

I also make my own stocking. It's just easier, plus I can spoil myself. One year my bestfriend and I filled each others stocking so we would be surprised. That was fun. I have a few puzzles and books on my list but I'm finally at the place in life where if I want or need something I can usually just buy it.

Cat food, kitty litter, Safeway gift cards, gas cards... Money is extremely tight right now and my 5 cats are eating me out of house and home.

Stockings are a big deal in my house Have you mentioned it to your SO and kids? Maybe they could each purchase a few things so it isn’t overwhelming to them if they aren’t used to it.

My 17yo son bought me a gift bag full of my favourite lollies and chocolates for my birthday, so if anyone will think to do it, it will be him.

I think I want a Kindle Oasis, but I want to see one IRL to be sure. I love my paperwhite, but damn I miss the buttons. I often read buried under a cat and they get so cranky when I have to stop petting them every time I turn the page.

Someone mentioned adding things from outside of amazon to your wishlist. I used to be able to do that but can’t anymore. I would love to learn how to do that.

A new 3D printer for making dollhouse miniatures. I have a really good one now, but I’d like one that is faster. My current print will take over 20 hours to complete 🤨.

Just tell your family that your Christmas wish is that they each put somethings in your stocking? It is perfectly acceptable to express what you want. DH "forgot" one year, even with several reminders from me. His mom, the gift giving queen, was so mad at him but not as much as I was. He doesn't forget now but I do still buy stuff for myself (in addition to what he gets) for him to add to my stocking or wrap as part of a gift. I do all the other shopping so it is the least he can do.

I’ve been buying my gifts for many years now. I tend to buy things that still has a surprise element. I used to get a bonus bag from Charming Charleys but they went out of business. Then I started getting BBW mystery tote bags. Then they stopped offering a nice bag. I did get some Philosophy body wash in fun ‘flavors.’ I’m also hoping to get some miscellaneous planner supplies.

SweetieBsMom I feel you! I hate those HGTV shows where they say they can renovate a whole house in 7 weeks. That is not for mere mortals. I ugly cried in the middle of our kitchen reno and threatened to shoot the plumber that held up our bathroom remodel. I bought myself a FJ Christmas kit and some pajamas for myself for Christmas. The kids will buy GC's, which I love.

I did this for years, and it hasn’t worked for me now for quite awhile. I was really sad when I quit being able to do this feature. The ability to actually link to a site outside Amazon is only available with limited browsers, and unfortunately not the one I use. It’s not as pretty but I use the ‘Add Idea to List’ feature at the top of the wish list on the same line as the search and filter options. You can still include a website but it won’t hyperlink, you’ll have to copy and paste it. But it’s a way to keep all of your ideas in one place. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!

I've already ordered my big gift - a new Bernina sewing/embroidery machine - and just hope it's here by Christmas. Besides that, some new sweaters and one of those German Christmas pyramids. My holiday decor needs to be upgraded/updated. I just came across the most beautiful one I have ever seen the other day, I love the details and how they incorporated the darker wood pieces. Scully and Scully German Pyramid.

More than I initially wanted to do. I put a lot off due to DH being ill. I had water issues that needed to be addressed in both bathrooms and behind the kitchen cabinets. I needed new windows, there was an issue with the siding. Right now I need them to fix some grout issues in the bathroom, finish painting, and hook up the shower in my bath. Then I can hang shelves, curtains, etc and I can somewhat have my house back and can finally have the living room furniture I ordered LAST October (came in in July) delivered and I can empty the POD in my driveway. Some stuff will be left to do in the basement, the only other 'big' things is the addition and deck. But that's all 'outside' stuff. I want people out of my house. I can so relate to that statement! You are at the stage where it's just little piddly stuff so you are past the big changes. That also seems to be the point where most contractors move on to other projects and getting them out to finish those little punch list items becomes difficult. I hope you are able to get your house back soon! Food Saver and various bags/make your own bags. Costco has one on sale through Nov. 21 for just $99 (regular $149). They also have box of 46 vacuum sealing bags and 5 rolls on sale for $29 (regular 29).

It’s the best of all worlds, truly. We’ve been on two of them and loved every minute of it. We took two cruise vacations in 2019 before the world shut down, almost back to back (Disney in March and Norwegian in June). Norwegian was such a disappointment by comparison! We decided if we’re spending the money to go on a nice vacation, we’re not wasting our time on any cruise line other than Disney from now on.

I would be happy with stuff getting done around the house, things repainted, some things bought, etc. We just spent 2 weeks off, visited the kids in the first week and did stuff around the house in the second week, so we were able to shorten the list. We need to get the slate roof looked at, and the wood stove cleaned out too...

I need a new iPad, but the price is out there for us at this time. I’ll settle for good chocolate. I’d love to have a sticking filled for me too, family doesn’t do it as kids dad thinks stockings are stupid.
I never know what to say when asked. I just go blank.

Butter dish to keep on the counter Sealing thing for snack bags Cardigan Sweater Boots Geode earrings No show socks “Volcano” scent oil to diffuse Love having a wish list! I’m curious about the oil. Goggle gave me several different brands including medicinal type oils fir sore muscles. I have been using my diffuser more and never heard if this scent. Curious if you could give more information. The link is here: Capri Blue Oil Diffuser Refill - Use with Reed Diffuser or Electric Diffuser - Aromatherapy Diffuser Oil - 0.5 Fl Oz - Volcano www.amazon.com/dp/B07V5937C2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AS60AAANVA4ZVPH2TJ2S?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1I love this scent and have gifted these candles to many people and they all seem to love it. I have found this brand/scent in small boutiques-they are more expensive than BBW scents but not insanely expensive (like $30 for a nice sized candle).
