12nd Day of Christmas

I've had a broken but usable umbrella for years. Now that I have a new (different) car, maybe it's time to get a matching umbrella to carry around in the car.



I'm really not picky, just something in a black or grey that works with a push of a button (do they make any other kind anymore?). The old flowered one will still work well to leave at the office to use in an emergency.

11th Day of Christmas

Are these the cutest canape knives. I have other interesting styles and like pulling them out whenever we have some kind of spread or dip that is made easier with a utensil. Too cute!

10th Day of Christmas

And while this is a 'wish' list, I saw some cool red lacquer chargers . I have gold ones, but for a change the red would look nice for Christmas.



The hard thing about buying this kind of thing is the number that you need. I think I have 8 of the gold, but we're at 9 already when you count my Mom coming to dinner. Right now the two babies still sit in highchairs, but that won't be for long.

9th Day of Christmas

I saw these towels recently at Pier 1. The kitchen always looks better with fresh new towels. And as far as I'm concerned I like getting them as a gift because I always have something else to spend my money on besides 'pretties'.



Am I that different that I like getting stuff for the house for Christmas? Just checking.

8th Day of Christmas

Of course, once we buy ourselves the wii then we'll have to get a wii fit to go with it.



Now this I've heard tons about. One of the gals from work has it and says she gets a better workout from this than her workout from the gym that she belongs to. And she saves a ton of time by not having to drive a half hour each way. Can't wait for Christmas morning lol.

7th Day of Christmas

Okay, so no one has to get this for us because I think we're getting it for each other. I've heard so much about the wii that I think we're finally ready for one. I'm pretty sure we are the last household in the state to get one, but we usually get around to these things.



I think we're going to have a lot of fun with this.

6th Day of Christmas

I have a fun collection of Mini American Girl Dolls. Don't know where else you can find them, but I'm sure they must be available locally. I can't believe that I already have 10!! of them.

The ones I don't have are Julie


How could I have missed Rebecca


Emily


and Ruthie


The ones I have already are Kit, Samantha, Felicity, Kirsten, Kaya, Nellie, Molly, Addy, Elizabeth and Josefina. They are really cute and come with a story book of their life and times. Peanut noticed them once (they are in the guest room) and we got them out to play with. She's a little young yet, but she enjoyed them under my supervision :). I think it's something from my childhood to always want more dolls.

5th Day of Christmas

I'm not really cheating here, but MM wanted a new steering wheel cover for our new car. If you're interested in buying this for him be sure to shop around. The last time I bought one for him I overpaid by going directly to the maker, I found out later that I could have gotten it for less.



That's a 2005 Chevy Malibu - Grey.

4th Day of Christmas

For some reason this year I need to wear layers. You can ask anyone I was always too warm, but this year I need another layer. this mockneck tee in Oatmeal Heather size L would go with a lot of things that I already have. Hey, this kind of fun lol. Think I'm going to have a lot of trouble real soon though, it's hard thinking of more stuff.

3rd Day of Christmas

I love lounging around in the evening in my velour bottoms (I do wear more that just the bottoms :))... problem is I only have one pair. I like this color in size L regular length.



These are so comfortable and they look a little better than plain sweats. Not that there is anything wrong with plain sweats, but this is a wish list.

1st Day of Christmas

My daughter had a good idea (one of many actually). Anyway my posts for the first 12 days of December will be things that I want for Christmas and where to buy them. Of course, if you can get it for less elsewhere by all means do it. Oh yeah, if you think of something else that I want more and I just couldn't think of it then go for it. You guys usually have much better ideas than me anyway.



I always seems to run out of my favorite fragrance Lily of the Valley by Crabtree & Evelyn.
