She’s making a list… checking it twice…

Posted by: curiousillusion on: November 29, 2009

Family Christmas tradition #1: create a wish list of things you want for Christmas.  In the past it used to get posted on the fridge, now it gets emailed.  Why?  Because then you have a decent chance of actually getting something you want and will use for Christmas.  It’s a tradition I’m all for – my father especially is notoriously impossible to shop for.  However, he also seems to put the most expensive things on his list, which makes it hard.  Oh and plus distributing lists saves us from the “oh just get me anything” list that my mom tends to thinks is acceptable.

So, because I think a Christmas wish list tells a lot about a person and what their state of mind is, here’s my Christmas list.  Complete with pics because I’m just that fabulous:

cabag

Wicked Stitch Designs Maia Waterproof Camera Bag.  These bags are totally customizable so I was very specific as to what colors I want.  Which will remain a surprise until (hopefully) I get it. My parents have to order by the end of this week in order to get here in time – I have a feeling they won’t though.

heartTiffany & Co. Return to Tiffany Heart tag Charm (because it wouldn’t be a Tiffany’s bracelet without a blatant Tiffany’s charm, lol)

snowflakeTiffany & Co. Snowflake Charm

[Can you tell I REALLY want at least one or two charms for my charm bracelet?!  I'm a bit iffy about the snowflake because while I LOVE it, I'm sure it's not meant to be worn year round and that would be a shame.  Sigh, if I could get my camera bag and a charm, I think I would be happy, I wouldn't need anything else!]

book2Learning to See Creatively by Bryan Peterson

proposalThe Proposal on DVD (yes I thought this movie was cute… plus Ryan Reynolds is lovely!)

himymHow I Met Your Mother Season 4 DVD

Plus gift cards to Starbucks & Ann Taylor Loft.  Starbucks because, well, it’s freaking Starbucks… you know how much I love them.  And clothing gift cards always come in handy, as impersonal as I’ve always said they are.

So that’s my list.  It’s not too bad, is it?   As I said, all I *really* want is the camera bag and a charm for my bracelet.  Oh and I’ve had that book on my wish list for AGES so that would be awesome too.  But that’s really about it. I really just want… well, what I posted about yesterday.  *crosses fingers some more*

Day 29/30 of NaBloPoMo – wrapped up in a bow!

  • Gah, I want that bag. But my husband is gone for two weeks so, fail.
  • You shouldve gotten it for yourself and then just told hubby that you got him a present for him to give to you. :)
  • That camera bag is super cute! I want one. And that photography books sounds great. ;)
  • You should get one! Or... get someone to get you one!
  • That is a beautiful camera bag. I might just go on over there and find one for my list too. :)

    My family are the same, and I'm so glad that we've formed the habit of making lists! It doesn't mean people can't use their own ideas or imagination but for the people who are really hard to buy for (read Dads), it gets you started.
  • There are so many fabrics for that camera bag, I really hope I get it!

    Yes, lists are wonderful!
  • wow...our lists would be quite similar! I already told my husband any movie with Ryan Reynolds would be a perfectly acceptable gift. I love that camera bag...might have to check out the site!
  • Have you seen the movie The Nine? That was a bizarre movie with Ryan Reynolds.
  • Does this list get emailed to all family members, or just immediate family such as mom and dad? Just curious :)

    Nice list by the way.
  • Just mom, dad and brother. Ha, I can't imagine what would happen if I emailed it to my cousins and aunts and uncles, some of whom I haven't heard from in ages. I'm sure they'd be like, "riiiiight... delete!"

    Very nice bag!!!

    And you are making me want a charm bracelet. :( I'll never get one though.

    I should make a list. I have no idea what to put on it though.
  • Beth!! :)

    Thanks. And aw, why won't you get one? Drop mad hints!!

    Um, something penguin related? Maybe the pink penguins? :) Make a list, then I can shop from it. :D
  • I just bought The Proposal on Black Friday! I love Ryan :)
  • Oh fun! And me too!
  • Lucy Young
    Thanks for reminding me I need to make a x-mas list. I love HIMYM too. Learning to See Creatively looks interesting.
  • HIMYM is awesome! And I had a friend on flickr who recommended that book AGES ago so I'm dying to get it.
  • I know that you didn't post this to solicit gifts, but heads up, there's a holiday present coming from me in the next couple days. (Your list reminded me of something I was going to get for you once you had that secret thing happen, so Christmas seemed as good of a reason as any)
  • Oh I totally posted this to solicit gifts. Oh wait, just kidding! :p

    And really? No way! Oooh I'm excited now!
  • Yes, really...although I feel like it was a little spoiled on Twitter today. But maybe you didn't notice :)
