'tis the season to give. but come on, there's got to be something you want. what is it? there is always a lot of stuff i want because i'm kind of a spender, if you haven't noticed already. but we're in a recession, after all, so i'll show my wish list and my realistic list. then it's your turn.

That is so funny Emily because Jack Purcell Converse are on my list too! You can get them cheaper at other sites other than J.Crew- I Googled. :) KitchenAid mixer is pricey, but is also a must have!!! Good luck!
Ooooh! Fun stuff.
I want my own ice skates, roller blades and skis. I'd also love a new kitchen table and bar stools. A new Chi flat iron would be great too. Would you mind getting me a couple of these? Santa said I won't be getting any :(
"My two front teeth!" (and maybe some new shoes, a fun IKEA print, and a gift card to Tai Pan)
Aww cashmere-one day, to go along something Tiffany!
I want the movie Hancock, a subscription to Cosmo magazine, some new kitchen spatulas.
GREAT picks - i told santa in my entry for today that a gift card at JCREW would suit me perfectly!
kids that don't fight, an always clean house, lots of spare cash
Rumor has it that I am getting the kitchenaid mixer but in white! :)
But the real response should be...World Peace!
i totally want a kitchenaid too! i may have to copy your post to give some ideas to sean!
I think I'm difficult to shop for--I have no idea what I want.
But this KitchenAid thing. I've been thinking a lot about it because everyone I know who has one SWEARS by it. So, I'm intrigued. But they're very expensive. And I wonder what the appeal is since if you have a big bowl (which we do) and a hand mixer (which we do), what do you need a KitchenAid for? I think I'm missing something and need an explanation. I might regret it, because you'll all probably talk me into it . . .
One night of uninterrupted sleep... ok so maybe a week and anything in cashmere. Both are not happening anytime soon.
I have a kitchenaid and I never, ever use it. Horrible, I know. (At one point in my life I baked). I hate cleaning the thing and would rather hand mix. We got it with wedding gift cards but at least Duncan uses it when he makes Sweedish tea rings...
I LOVE that JCrew celery sweater. Oh my.
I'm getting the Kitchen Aid mixer in white. We found it for $110, so we feel pretty good about it. I like that tissue turtleneck quite a bit though.
Black boots, slippers, and gap gift cards!
Not a thing! I already shopped for myself, heh heh. I let my husband totally off the hook with regard to gift-giving years ago, and I just go buy exactly what I want and this year, what I want included a pair of awesome brown boots. Hope "Santa" fulfills YOUR wishes, tho!
I want either a blackberry storm or an iphone, and lots of other little stupid things (like b&b shampoo and conditioner). But now I want to add that JCrew sweater to my list even though I would NEVER pay that much for a sweater (especially when it was 78 here today and it's mid-December). You have good taste sister!
Oh, and I really want my house to be all fixed soon and CLEAN and I hope this baby comes at least a tiny bit early. I can barely believe I still have 7 weeks to go...
oh, yeah, I also forgot to tell you that I have that tissue turtleneck in brown and I LOVE it. Make sure Santa gets you one of those (and have him pick up the purple eggplant one for me too...)
I want this really cool camera strap that I found (and promptly gave Frank the link to. I'm no dummy.)
I want the biggest box of See's chocolates that Frank can stand to buy.
Some cute shirts would be nice too. But I have no idea what kind. The clothes you put on your blog are always cute but those models are all like size 0 and 6 feet tall! How do they look on real people?
Other than that I'd like a clean house and someone to cook dinner for me...Oh can I put those two at the top of the list??
thanks for the heads up Jenny! good to know.
Debbie, I know these clothes don't look as good on me as they do on models, but I think if you buy nice, well-made stuff, it looks nice anyway.
I should've put See's chocolates on my list too, darn it.
This is kinda lame I guess, but I really want the box set of Anne of Green Gables. I saw it at Costco the other day and was pumped because I love those shows!! Plus, I've never seen the third one! Oh-and Rock Band World Tour but I would probably like Anne first. haha!
