The Christmas Wish List

I am obviously a lame person because I am asking for any type of pots and pans for Christmas. But we need them.
I think my feminist badge just wrinkled itself.

Unless it was my birthday, I don’t think I could justify a pair of Lululemon pants. So I’ll let someone else buy them for me.

There’s been times this past year where an immersion blender would have really come in handy. I need one, right?

I need more work clothes. I haven’t bought work clothes in like two years. And I love this store for clothes.

Call me lame. Again. But as part of my quest to get rid of BPA in our household, I really want to switch from plastic to glass containers. Things like this make me happy.

What are you wishing for this Christmas?
I really need some suggestions.

I think that looks like a great list. My mom always complains that my Christmas list is too boring. I don’t room for a lot of stuff, and I don’t have time to use new electronics so I tend to ask for a couple of books and DVDs and that’s it.

No clothes in two years???? You are rocking it girl! Pans are always good for Christmas. Take those anytime! And clothes of course! πŸ™‚

Love this list!

Just beware of the tops for those glass containers–they don’t last very long because the more you bend & snap them, the faster they wear out. Eventually (but faster than I think they should), all of the flaps snap off and you have no way to close the containers. Rubbermaid & Libbey may great alternatives in a variety of shapes & sizes.

Kitchen stuff is the best to ask for for Christmas! The kitchen is full of many small items that can be inexpensive gifts, but for the person trying to equipt their kitchen it can get expensive quickly! My Mother recently asked what was on our Christmas list and I asked for some kitchen stuff (we are also in the process of switching to glass tupperware). My Mom said ok for me but what about my husband? What? – He eats too – he can get kitchen stuff for Christmas!

Great list! Lusting after those Lululemon pants. πŸ™‚ A few ideas – some great books, gift card to a restaurant you’d never spring for yourself, and fun, casual jewelry.

One thought on the food storage containers – I know you are recently married so kids might not be in your immediate plans – but if they are, you might want to check out bpa free plastic rather than glass. Just a thought!

Love your list! If I had my own place I would totally love all the cookware and cooking products. But sadly I don’t have a kitchen to call my own yet ;(

On my Christmas list – I would just want to get into law school haha. ANNNDDD maybe a massage and a facial. Sigh!

All I want this year is a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. And I definitely saw it unwrapped at my parent’s house on Thanksgiving…so I guess my wish was granted!

Ahh, New York and Company…their clothes are SO cute.

I kinda want everything on your list. I would also add riding boots that actually fit my ginormous calves. Man, has this been a major shopping problem =(

I want the Shark. You know, that hard wood steamer cleaner thing.

I remember when my Christmas list consisted of all movies, clothes, jewelry, and fun stuff. Now I want the Shark.

Also, one year my husband bought me a really cool scale and I was like, deliriously happy. < —old

-Lulu Wunder Unders (long, in black)
-A gift card for a massage
-A Panera gift card, so I can buy lunch without guilt!

I wanted Calphalon pans about 12 years ago for Christmas. So G-man got them for me. And I was thrilled. And I have also gotten the “non-feminist” gift of a vacuum. And I was thrilled.

I try and put some ME things along with some HOUSE things on my wish lists.

Shortly after I moved out on my own for the first time, my parents got my tupperware for Christmas. And then a set of pots and pans for my birthday a month later.

I was 21.

Just…so you know. πŸ™‚
