I want some gift cards for retail stores so I can buy some clothes!

I love pampering item, bath and body works, etc.

We had a wedding in July so most household items are taken care of.

BTW we got the Kitchenaid Stand Mixer as a wedding gift from a really nice relative- its like 3-4 hundred and I'd never have bought it on my own but I love it!!!

Pretty much the standard list. My Kitchen-Aid stand mixer. I've wanted one for several years now, but with DH out of a job at Christmas every year

it just hasn't happened. This year he's working... so I think I just need to pick out my color and clear some space on the counter.

Well the two main thing I want for Christmas can't be bought.
1) to have SWEET LIPS HOME with me I wouldnt mind if for the day or forever just not having her for my birthday broke my heart.

2) the other is for hubby happiness.

now if it had to be bought well Tickets to see Def Leppard in Nov would be nice could be either late bday or christmas present.

Sweet Lips being home.

Umm cookbooks I dont know my mind this year isnt on store bought items. Mine is just for the well being of my family and Sweet Lips and the other 6 kids to be here.

I got this 8 years ago as a bridal shower gift from 2 of my very generous co-workers. Next to dh, it was the best thing I have ever rec'd. I use it all the time and can't imagine baking without it. I would never be able to bake Christmas gifts for almost 25 people(co workers, relatives and teachers) without it.

Mine was bought from Kohl's during a very good sale. Also watch Macy's and Bed, Bath and Beyond both in store and online. Sometimes you can get it for less than $300. IMO, it's worth every penny.

i should be the martha stewart of Kitchen Aid. HA..
I have just about every attachment for the stand mixer, and use it on almost a daily basis.. ( i could not imaging baking cookies with kids, with out it.) This was one of my Many Housewarming gifts a few years ago..
DH also got me a Hand mixer ( I complained to him when we moved that it was not black like all my appliances so i needed a new one... He didnt find it as humorus as i did) But the Hand mixer is a dream to use especially when you are making cakes. the batter really comes out lump free. Amazing. you have to get one, and tell your DH, they arent that expensive. More expensive then a sunbeam, but well worth the extra cost. (we bought all of our stuff when the Appliance store that my DH works for was clearencing out all of there pots and pans and small appliances. I had a Hay Day to say the least but i wouldnt trade any of them for a different brand or model.) Oh P.S. if you are a serious baker, be sure to get the 5qt mixer its bigger and you wont regret it. i think it may cost a little more $$$ but when you make a batch of sugar cookies that makes like 6 dz (no one told me how much this one huge batch made) it will be worth it.
