Right there with you. I'm totally out of ideas. I can't think of anything I want or need, so I'll be watching this thread.

Dh asked me again tonight what I would like. I could only think of a new bottle of Chanel No. 5, the big bottle he got me about 3 years ago is almost gone (a tradition with us, he's been buying me my Christmas Chanel for over 45 years now), and some more sunflower seeds for the bird feeder.
Really can't think of much else that I want or really need, so I guess I should be thankful!

I’m no help because I already got the two big things I’ve been wanting for a good while. DH bought me a 6 qt mixer with our Costco rebate right before Thanksgiving, and his business bought me a 15x15 t-shirt press so I could make some shirts for his bowling team.  He figured even buying the press and the iron on vinyl it would be cheaper than ordering custom shirts for everybody. Bonus day for me, I’ve wanted one of those for a long time and couldn’t justify it myself. I’m pretty sure that I’ll end up using it a lot more than I imagined because it’s right here and easy. As for you, what do you already have? Also what’s your budget? That would make it easier to suggest things. For the kitchen: do you already have an Instant Pot, an air fryer, sous vide, ice cream maker, Keurig? How about an Alexa, wireless Bluetooth speaker to use with your cell phone, a tablet or iPad, an e-reader? Smart home accessories so you can turn on lights, adjust heat or A/C remotely? A new smart tv? Weighted blanket? What kinds of crafts do you like? How about a new sewing machine, a set of Copic markers, some new dies or stamps? Some of that new loopy yarn that you can knit without needles? How about some fun Lego sets (I have the Pop Up Storybook set or the carousel set on my wish list)? They have some awesome sets for expert builders now that look like they’d be fun to put together. What about an experience gift like an annual membership to a zoo, a museum, a theme park, movie passes, a concert or concert series, a play or musical at a local theater, a Netflix or Hulu subscription, a gift certificate for a massage, a mani-pedi or hair appointment? Good luck! I hope you think of something fun to put on your list! |

I bought myself a pair of silver Chaco sandals that were on an amazing sale.
I am also getting the prongs on my 20 year old promise ring repaired.
And I’m gettinga 15x15 heat press- just need to figure out which one I want.
DH bought himself a few guns (apparently they were an AMAZING deal) and a scope.

Bears don’t traditionally kill other animals. They usuly eat things already dead, berries, nuts, seeds, etc

There are some Altenew stamps that I have been wanting. Any craft supplies you are itching to get?
A new technique class?
How about a day at the spa- facial and massage?
One of the meal prep services, or some cleaning help?
Have fun choosing!
ETA: these are all things I would enjoy. DH & I have not discussed our gifts yet.

I have to be careful about what I put on my wish list. Hubby has been known to get everything on it instead of just a few. But here is what is on it this year:
LED Light Box
typewriter
HP Sprocket
Bissel carpet cleaner (the kind you push back and forth - I think it will be awesome for my craft room)
Slide scanner
Sari silk ribbon
A hospital bedside table to put by my recliner so I can have a table there to work on.

I would like a mini/small air fryer. My cat (she always knows just what I want  ) got me makeup, for my stocking. Other than that, there's nothing I want...other than to go to the beach for a couple days. |

I have on my list Waterford crystal champagne flutes 🥂
We have a fairly new tradition of beginning our Christmas Day with mimosas, and I want these beautiful flutes to use. We have plain ones, but the thought of fine crystal for Christmas morning makes me smile.😀😀😀

Tell me more about those loafers gar ! And the plain scarves. are the loafers and is one of the scarves. Also come in orange, jade, fuchsia etc. Gorgeous! Where are they from? I need to buy new shoes as I can no longer manage shoelaces, buckles, etc because of my stupid arthritic hip. Those loafers would go with 90% of my wardrobe and I would be able just to slip them on whenever I wanted! 😄 |

gar Things like your post with the boots are why you are one of my favorite Peas. Thanks for the laugh this morning! I bought a puffy vest in blue/green plaid from Lands End and two pair of new Cuddle Duds. DH would rather have a root canal than shop, so I just buy what I want. It's a small list this year, as we are taking kids and grandkids to a wedding in TX in February. What I really want are diamond stud earrings. I don't see DH ever buying those, LOL.
