House on DVD. And a new iPod dock.
And the Batmobile. Just 'cause I've always wanted it.

it's just a loose, knit beret that people with bangs can actually wear without smooshing them down. (i know, she doesn't have bangs)

I need a winter coat. Also, it just came to me. Every year my family and I play "white elephant" which is of course another gift exchange game...with a twist. Basically you gather a group of people who would like to join. I usually do it with family, friends separate and you each get a budget anywhere from $10-50 (whatever you all agree on). Before the game begins it's decided what we can purchase and what not...like you can't buy a card and expect to bring it as a present (believe me, someone had the nerve to ask!) that's just being lazy...you can however buy a book or gag gift. I usually pass a hat around with numbered slips of paper and each person draws a number. The first person who drew "1" gets to select any gift from the pile exchange you have set. He/she will open it, show it to everyone and keep it temporarily. Now the second person can choose to "steal" the first person's gift or choose a gift from the pile, and open it. If the second person decides to steal from the first person then the first person gets to choose another gift from the pile. Then whoever is next will go and so forth...So basically any time your gift is stolen you can steal someone else's or pick from the pile. However if a gift is stolen 3 times, then it is considered frozen and you are no longer allowed to steal it the fourth time. Oh and you can't steal back the present which was just stolen from you. After everyone has had their turn the first person has the option of taking another turn since they had no clue what the presents were...again it's optional. Did that make any sense to you all?? It's popular and soooo much fun but in my experience the first person to choose a gift usually gets screwed in the end. Last year I got stuck with a cook book, for me that posed as a problem because I don't cook. Period.

You can never have too much lipgloss, even on a bad day a nice lipstick or lipgloss can make your mood better.
I asked Santa for something in a discontinued leather, a fashionista thing. The store has been looking for months for something in this discontinued leather but when I'm overseas I'm sure I'll find it there.
Oh, and a scarf. I am a sucker for scarves.
Oh, and one of those Black and Decker picture helper/leveller thingamagig.

(i know, she doesn't have bangs) my sister sent me something extremely similar for my birthday. i think mine is actually a beanie but the way it s worn makes it looks the same. i have pics (they wanted to see how it looked on me) but i ll post them in the members section

Period. that sounds so much fun ! i really wish i could watch your family play this game ! i can almost hear them laughing as one gets ripped off and ends up with fruit cake. great game ! kinda like our secret santa one actually... or at least in the same spirit.

I received many great presents this XMAS. BTW, how much money do you spend on gifts allow for your family on average per XMAS?
