kukla_tkoSo here's my GreedyTaking celebration, continued:
My Wish List for Christmas:
There are lots of things I want but cannot have. Most of you can probably fill in those blanks.
Here are the big-ticket items that would be groovy to receive:
-A corner kitchen cabinet, so that I can finally move the sink and install the dishwasher.
-A new dehumidifier. The old one crapped out on me. Ideally it should be the kind that drains into a hose rather than the kind that can only fill a bucket.
-Business Materials, specifically new digitizing software, quick-snap frames, and a back-up machine. So if friends want to pitch in for one of these things the most efficient way is to pitch in together for a big honking Gift Card from Jackman's. I can spend it and use my considerable discount to acquire the things I need.
Small ticket items:
Bras, as usual. Even just being my bra-shopping companion would be extremely helpful. I've ranted on this topic before. :D My size depends upon the cut of the bra and the style. I'm somewhere between a 38DD/DDD and a 42DD, and once again it depends upon cut, style and etc.
Underpants and Socks: Yep, it is ok to give me underwear and socks. Ideally, socks should either be fun and silly or plain black cotton. I'm woefully short on the plain black cotton. I prefer a softer sock to a chunkier "sport" sock. I wear about an 8 in underpants. Cotton, please. No "low-rise". There's a lot of "Backyard" on this "property", and the low-rise options don't cover.
Scarves and gloves: Yep, another cheap perfunctory gift that I adore receiving. My workplace is chilly this time of year so fancy scarves are nice to wear, as are soft and warm ones. I'm brilliant at losing my gloves so gloves are always appreciated. Heck, I even like mittens.
Yarn Crafts: See above. If you knit or crochet, remember that I cannot do either and I always sincerely appreciate yarn crafts. Scarves, couch throws, doll items, heck even a sweater would be just OK with me if you made it.
Consumables: Still running a household here, and so gifts of basic consumables are always appreciated. Bathroom Tissue, facial tissue, paper towels, plastic cups, and other disposable household goods are a great gift for me.
Also my higher-end personal care products: LUSH is awesome, though try to steer clear of floral scented things and anything with patchouli. The shampoo bar I prefer is called "New", and the leave-in conditioner that I adore is "R&B". I also like their new moldable soap/shampoo/body bar stuff. I own a bath tub so bath bombs from Lush are nice, too, as are the moisturizing bars. Love their soaps, and you can even get a free sample of something nice and wrap it up for me.
Sugar: In the past I have welcomed cookies and other holiday goodies as a treat this time of year, but I would request that any sugar-oriented gifts be offered earlier in the month. Dumping a bunch of sugar into my system right before I give it up cold-turkey is giving me troubles. I do love to celebrate the Feast of St. Nicholas on December 6th, though. :)
Booze: Why yes, I do drink booze. If there is a bottle of something that you want to share with me I will cheerfully accept the cheer. :D Of course, I'm a complete nut for Absinthe and the other licorice-flavored liquors, as well as the standards (Peach Schnapps, Peppermint Schnapps, Amaretto, Kaluah). I also like Champagne, particularly since I figured out how to drink the cheap stuff (with a little peach schnapps, of course).
Fruit: Harry and David. OMG OMG OMG. Need I say more? Gifts of fruit this time of year are genuinely appreciated because I can continue to enjoy them past the first of the year. Mmm. Pears...
Handcrafts: It's not just yarn crafts that I love. I'm a sucker for hand crafted stuff of any kind. Woodworking, calligraphy, needlepoint, paintings, sculptures, fabric crafts... I love it all. If you made it, I will LOVE it.
Knick Knacks: Not so much. If it is in doll-scale, that's totally fine but I don't really want little sit-pretties. I'm also good on Leopard print stuff for the time being.
So that's my greed list, as well as a round of "Do not want". Now, post yours! Keep in mind that it will be a Very Embroidered Christmas, so if there are things that you enjoy that relate to my Shiny New Machine, do let me know. Anything I can put a needle through can be embroidered. Mwa ha ha ha...
