The 2010 Holiday Wish List Thread :-)

Hehehe, this is always a fun thread! So what do you want for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/Winter Solstice/Just Because its Winter and we give gifts then/New Years/Festivus for the rest of us, etc?  What's on your wish list?  

ETA Festivus 

You left off Festivus! 

I'll call this my dream list because I know it is not going to happen! At least not anytime soon.  

Electronics:

Kindle
ipod
iPhone
ipad

money for shopping:
I need...

shoes
tops
and accessories

Kitchen items:
stand mixer
food processor


OR I would happily trade all that in if somebody would just do my ILR applications for me and pay for it!  

I'll see your ILR & raise you 1 US Visa & 1 UK Naturalisation application! 

Ouch!

I may just stick with the I Phone instead and do my own paper work. 

Good luck with all of your applications WebyJ!

Hehehe- I absolutely love to give pressies - which makes the holiday season quite fun for me- but not for my wallet- but anyways- it is nice to have a wish list as well  

I wish I could say I don't want gifts and that I'm not materalistic, but really, I like pressies as much as the next person and there are definitley a few things I want- so my wish list (I did say it was wishes!!) includes the following:

Some trombone accessories- A new trombone stand as mine is falling to bits, a bucket mute, a harmon mute, and a repair to one of the stuck tuning slides. Though in my complete dream- I won the lottery kind of world, I'd buy myself a customer shilke or custom xeno horn. Ha!    
 
An acoustic bass guitar

A harp - I've always fancied one ever since my sister got one some years ago!

Some new smart work clothes - mine are getting quite ragged and I have to look smart meeting vendors

Some really geeky books- Chris Rauwendaal's Troubleshooting the Extrusion Process,  D.V. Rosato's Injection Molding Handbook, Tobin's Quality Control for Plastics, Jenkins Durability and Reliability of Medical Polymers, Sastri's Plastics in Medical Devices: Properties, Requirements and Applications

A bread machine

A stationary spinning bike

Some cookbooks- Nigel Slater's Simple Suppers, The Fat Duck Cookbook, Ching-He Huang's Chinese Food Made Easy

Anything Black Yak!  I <3 wool!

Fair Trade jewelry - funky and colourful is great with me!

Funky things to tie in my hair

A heated clothes airer

I'm not asking for much, am I?  



  
 
  
 

I absolutely love giving xmas gifts! Although I go WAY overboard. I also love receiving thoughtful gifts, I'm not too worried about the cost, some of my best gifts have been very cheap, but I wont lie, love electricals and gadgets!

I have the world's longest amazon wish list, I use it throughout the year to keep track of just stuff that i like and want to get but also (even though the boy and I hate it) his step-mother really likes wish lists, if you don't have one she sits you down with a catalogue which is SO awkward!



So I have lots of silly things, some lomo photography stuff, some DSLR stuff, shoes, socks, blu-rays, cake decorating things, roller boots (god I want roller boots), make up, an apron, books...

Me too. But it's so fun, isn't it?

Great wish list- I may have to steal some stuff of it for mine 

I could really go off on here about all the things I want! In fact I probably will once I get home from work!

I love giving presents too! And I always go overboard, but it's so much fun that I can't help it! In fact, I'm nearly finished all my shopping this year - except for my father and DH who are both nearly impossible to shop for. 

My wish list isn't really extensive at all this year. I always want books. Books, books, books and more books. I'd like some very nice soaps. A Boden cardigan. A knitting book. And that's about it.

I have simple needs, just an I Pad please....hubby are you reading this...

Oh I'm the same way about giving gifts.  I really like to try and get people something that they'll love. Though it's been a skint couple of years so I've been having to get creative! 

For me, I just don't really know!  I'm usually quite happy to just get practical stuff like socks, plain t-shirts and a packet of cherry Twizzler Pull and Peels.    But I guess there's a few other things I could always use... 

I really want a good spice rack, a ginormous stock pot, ramekins that are big enough to make individual pot pies, and an apron.

I also want a nice big wooly sweater.

Otherwise I can only really think of potential reading material like some artsy or history books as well as some fiction.  I'm lost on what sort of fiction I want to read (there's so much out there!) but I've been keen on reading more about Scottish/Northern British/Union history.  I'd really like a cookie cookbook too!

In terms of dream items, I'd like a winning Euromillions ticket, a gas hob, and a big eff-off American fridge/freezer. 

I want two weeks in a nice hotel suite on a beach in Florida in February. Good thing thats what I am getting!!!

(even though the boy and I hate it) his step-mother really likes wish lists, if you don't have one she sits you down with a catalogue which is SO awkward!

My family doesn't use a catalogue (that WOULD be awkward) but I love their wish lists!  I want to know what they want for Christmas, I want to get them something they're hoping for.  That doesn't mean I don't put a lot of thought into it.  I've been known to buy a present, take it home and wrap it, put it under the tree and, after more thought, unwrap it, return it to the store and buy something else.   

My wish list this year...
a winning lottery ticket of course   
some warm dressy boots
a simple cardigan that goes with everything
a few books & movies I've been wanting

that's about it for me.  We'll be moving soon and it will all have to be packed.

I have simple needs, just an I Pad please....hubby are you reading this...

I really want an ipad but can't justify buying one, so I'm stealth saving up for one by trading in all my unwanted, old or un-played games at HMV and then putting the credit on gift cards, I have about £300 so far, I'm so close!

Me too. But it's so fun, isn't it?

Great wish list- I may have to steal some stuff of it for mine 

yay! Even if I get a couple of things on that list I'd be totally ecstatic

It's so much fun and I love surprising people and making them happy on xmas day Especially my boy's niece as she always gets a bit forgotten.
