Forget the Ferarri, liposuction or the trip around the world. What are the little things that you really really need that you won’t buy for yourself to be given to you over the holidays?
You are allowed one fantasy gift:
Me:
Coffee pot with a built in filter
Shelving units from IKEA
Birkenstocks ( Milano, size 37, thank you)
Fantasy gift: weekly massages for a year.
People change not because they see the light but because they feel the heat.
Gift that I’ll probably get from my dad, because I told him I wanted one, and he would have spent this much money on me & my family anyway: A chest freezer.
Fantasy Gift: A cruise, preferably somewhere in the Mediterranean.
My gift to myself this holiday IS going to be a car. My wife and I have gone without a car, because of financial constraints, for three long Cleveland winters. Well, no more: On Oct. 16 I’m getting a big bonus payout at work, and that’s going to be the down payment on a new car.
I went without my car for 4 days and thought I was going to go insane (it was at the car doctor getting a new water pump). I live in the sticks where we have no public transportation so I was basically stranded unless I bummed rides from others.
It only took one time riding the mountain bike to the grocery store, 6 miles each way and then trying to carry 4 bags home over my shoulder (including a gallon of milk) to realize how much I love my car.
Something I want but really isn’t a big deal is a better toaster. Mine is a piece of crap but I never remember to buy one when I am out shopping. Maybe if Santa brought me one. . .
My fantasy present would be a life-time, unlimited airline pass. Free flights anywhere in the world, anytime I want, forever. Maybe throw in an unlimited supply of free accommodations such as hotel rooms, car rentals, cruise ship tickets, the works!

Coffee, chocolate, men . . . Some things are just better rich.
I never know what I want for Christmas. I always know what I’m going to buy for other people, but I never have any clue when someone asks what I want.
Best idea: Shopping. Give me an envelope full of gift certificates and an free babysitting “coupon”. I could handle that.
That, or there’s this really wonderful bedding set in the Anthropologie catalog…
I want a week in a cabin in McCall Idaho, on the lake. Just my husband, myself, and our lab. (lab=dog :))
Fantasy? We already have money and all the material possessions we need. What I want is for time to stand still. After many years of stupid decisions and immature fuck-ups, I am finally in a place in my life that I could stay forever.
Oh yeah, and to talk my husband into a house keeper.
