    I was just trying to think about what I want... so many things for our new house, but that won't be ready for a few months, so I just don't know!

    Well, actually I do know: I want a dog. But that ALSO has to wait for the new house. Hrm.

    Maybe a new Point & Shoot camera? Or just a voucher to go book crazy - I'd love some new reading material for the holidays.

    @misschickpea: I love my cricut!

    I'm probably just going to ask for clothes and shoes.  Before the wedding I wasn't really shopping much for myself, so I'm finding that I need some new clothes!  We got a ton of household items and giftcards as wedding gifts, so we are all set there (other than really large furniture).

    I NEED a new computer. My fan is dying and has a high pitch whistle. My #5 key barely works. The body is dented. There is no battery and I have the power cord taped in. It's a Macbook Pro from 2004,  and given how clumsy I am that ain't too shabby a life. :) But no one is gonna gift me another one.

    Not sure what I want. My guy says he knows what he's getting me already but I really don't recall asking for anything. A nice dinner out would be great. Hmmm. That's a tough question. :)

    I would really like a new laptop, but I feel like that's a lot to expect.

    DH keeps asking me what I want, and I don't really know!!! 

    I guess I'll be a hard one to shop for this year. :)

    I would LOVE Winter Classic tickets (hockey related) to see the Flyers kick Rangers booty. Unfortunately, that won't happen.  The tickets are at a starting price of $400+  So stupid.

    I really don't know besides that.  FI knows me pretty well without having to ask.

    I was going to ask for a new iPod, since mine was stolen last month, but now with google music out I plan on using my android phone instead.  So now I'm hoping for a silhouette machine.  

    Although, as a bee in waiting, I would love a ring, even though it isn't on my list!

    Hmmmm............. seeing as we spent most of our money on the wedding and don't have a big budget for presents, I'm not going to be asking for anything.  I am so happy that we are finally married and to me that is my present.  With winter right around the corner we will both give each other the gift of "heat".  Boy is heat expensive.  Not too exciting, but I've learned to appreciate the basics this year, lol.  New house for us and a lot of bills........

    @Tswife4ever: Hmm, new purse, that's a good one! Mine is getting pretty old. I hadn't started my "wishlist" yet.

    There is an antique emerald ring (right hand ring!) that I've had my eye on for a while. SO says that he will get it for me as a graduation present because I finish school in two weeks. If I get an emerald ring for graduation, I can't really expect much more for Christmas! Wink

    @MrsSl82be: The TV is an awesome idea. We've been debating where to find money to upgrade our tv (yeah, we are suffering from big screen shrinkage) and I would have never thought in a million years of getting one as a joint gift. That's brilliant.

    @claireos: haha thanks! Last year we went on a cruise, and now we are getting a TV. It makes sense, we are both difficult to shop for, so we usually just shopped together and then had maybe one small surprise gift, but knew all the others. This way, we both get something to enjoy, and we don't really have to find "extra" money (well, maybe a little!)

    @pandaboo: Ha! I told my parents that this year. Their response? That's not a real gift. My reply, "Really? You're saying that if a box full of money just showed up at your front door you'd be dissappointed? Really?" :) I don't know a single person who would be bummed out by that. Fingers crossed. ;)

    I asked DH for a camera.  I need a new one, but I don't know if DH is going to get me one.  We're trying to save money this year.  I had a few books on my list too, and a few gift cards to my favorite stores.  I'm really hard to shop for!

    DH is hard to shop for too!  He usually buys the EXACT same gifts I already bought him because he finds great pre-Christmas sales.  Yeah, so did I, which is why I bought it for you.  Seriously, the past two years he has bought himself the exact same present I already bought him.  He is now banned from buying anything for himself starting in October. ;-)

    I don't really have anything I want. Weird, I know. I'm not into the e-reader thing at all, I have all the (affordable) camera stuff I need, I have an iphone so that takes care of the ipod thing... I dunno! I didn't know what to ask for for my birthday last month either (last month) and DH got me a Sons of Anarchy season 3 box set + massage gift card... works for me! lol

    I requested (from family and DH) the following: Yes, I am bulleting this.  Makes it more official.

     

    • Scentsy!
    • Victoria's Secret gift cards
    • New iPhone (mine broke last week. Well, it was 3 years old, so I prefer "retired"
    • A desk for my office

    I think that's it!

    @MissPumpkinPie: I went to the winter classic in 2009, Red Wings vs. Blackhawks. Partied all night didn't sleep, and drove the 4.5 hours to chicago from my hometown. Let me tell you it was the BEST experience ever! And I've been to the olympics multiple times, the winter classic beat the olympics!
