I have a question about the Sam's Club throws. For those who have owned or at least seen both, how do they compare to The Big One plush throw from Kohls? I can see they are close to the same size and on sale at Kohls, close to the same price. I'm thinking of getting throws for the family this year and looking at both if these.

I just mentioned to my boyfriend last night that I would like an electric throw blanket that I can use when I watch TV at night. Our living room is always SO cold.

I have asked DH for two big Fiestaware canisters for Christmas.
Other than that, things I would like are a gift certificate to have my hair done, a nice Christmas wreath for my front door, new slippers, a new black purse. |

I originally wanted an instax camera but have decided I want a little polaroid printer that prints 2x3 pics instead. That way I can just take pics with my phones and not have to carry a camera around. I want to put pics in my journal and hate the rigamarol of having to get my phone pics onto the regular printer. And aside from that, DH is going to pic up my Christmas present today, I'm so excited! An antique Murphy bed for our guest room so I can still use the floor space to work out  |

I would either like the $$ to go to one of the various charitable organizations (things like educating a child, providing vaccines, etc.) - this time of year especially always makes me so sad for others with nothing. Or, if the gift giver was adamant the gift would be something for me, then I would pick something that I would never normally buy. A farm where you have them make rounds of cheese, honey, etc. (someone posted a link the other day, can't for the life of me remember the name of the company)

With the $50 limit in mind, I'd maybe ask for some large bowl, long-stemmed wine glasses for red wine.

I just had to come up with a list of small gifts to give to the friends I'll be spending Christmas with. On mine was:
Pot holders
New set of measuring cups
Body lotion
Set of soaps for guest bathroom
Paring knife
Set of BBQ tools
What I'd really like is a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait but that's the sort of thing I'd buy myself!

I always ask for a gift card from parents/inlaws.
I want to buy a new kitchen table, a farmhouse table from Walmart (to replace the one we have) so a Walmart gift card so I can combine gift cards and buy a table. It's really inexpensive, with three girls we don't need anything expensive in our house!
My husband and I buy what we need/want all year for ourselves and the kids so we don't go overboard at Christmas. We usually don't get things for each other because we always have big expenses this time of year (usually a car repair).

I added the tiny item holder that you linked from Amazon and said that you use it for your sequins. I have a lot of seed beads and plan on making a lot of tiny punches from paper, fabric, felt and thin plastic to use on cards and other papercrafts. I had no idea where to store them without my work area looking like it was attacked by confetti. I love Kate Spade, but your link didn't work. I checked their website and saw some really cute items. I love the charms. My favourite item was an iPhone holder/wallet wristlet. It was made for the iPhone 6, but I think my iPhone 5s will fit just fine even inside the otterbox case--a reviewer said their phone in a case fit. One of the reviewers said that there was a similar version at Best Buy, so I'm going to check those out to ensure that my phone will fit. My guess is that if it fits the larger 6 that the 5 will fit as well. I always keep a wishlist of items on Amazon. Some are things I'd like as gifts, and other items are little items that I'm waiting to purchase until I get a large enough order to get free shipping when the items aren't Prime. Hmm.... Oh, did it double link to the organizer? Sorry about that. It's called "the short list." There are eight numbered lines (it's great for me at work) but what I love most of all is that they tear out of the pad SO EASILY without ripping. There's also one called the long list that I want, which has 12 lines. The organizer will be great for your seed beads. I am less sure about how great it will be for punchies, because while I knew the boxes had to be small, I didn't really conceptualize HOW small. However, that company also has one with 42 assorted size boxes. (If I don't mess up the link again, this one will default to show you a two-pack, but there is an option for a single one.) |

I want either a new drill press or a new sliding miter saw. I would also love a gift card from the quilting store I frequent. I saw an ad for a company called HarborFreight.com that was advertizing a $300 mitre saw with laser guide for $199. I couldn't tell if it was sliding or not, but I thought you could at least check it out. I've never heard of the company before, but the saw looked nice. I also love the link to the photography company. I fell in love with large format cameras when I took a photography class in college, but it's not practical unless you have your own dark room. This company offers large format film and developing so I'm going to check it out. I'm also interested in an app that will make black and white digital photos look like they were printed on silver gelee paper. I've been looking for some seashell macro prints to use in my bathroom, and I think it'd be cool to do them myself. |

What I REALLY want is to fly to Montana to spend Christmas with my son and his family. I'm still undecided about that, as my brother that I haven't seen in over 5 years will be home on leave from the Navy and will be flying in on the 29th. So if I go, I will have to get my booty right back as I simply can NOT miss hanging out with my bro!
As for material gifts...I can only think of one thing that I might want. A rock polishing system to polish some of the rocks in my collection. I am still reading up about that process though to see if it is something I really want to do with my rocks.

I've basically got a bunch of things like the grey Copic Sketch Markers, watercolour pencils, a couple LEGO sets, a Cricut, the FujiInstax share Smartphone printer, anything off my Indigo wishlist, and a bunch of different gift cards. All things I would buy for myself (and will probably buy after Christmas anyway) but I can put them on a list since FH's family insists on lists (but then don't really buy from them... go fig).
