What's on your holiday wishlist?

[missy]

Actually I do have one wishlist fervent hope. But I know it’s an impossible dream at least for now.
I want to rescue a puppy. Preferably a mix breed Boston terrier French bulldog. I love them so much.
Yesterday we ran into Zoe. A precious 4 week old frenchie/Boston terrier mix. All black. Just like our beloved Francesca. She was so sweet and loving. She jumped into my lap. I was on our recumbent bike. What a dream it was. Meeting her made my day.

Oh yes, do it! (I'm a dog enabler LOL). Many dogs can live peacefully around cats.

I couldn't live without my canine fur babies. Just couldn't.

@LilAlex, it has to be Russell Stover for sentimental reasons, although I know there is better quality chocolate out there

I don’t know your circumstances of why you can’t adopt now but finding a Boston Frenchie mix to rescue may take some time so you could at least get the process going by getting approved now. Then you can just keep an eye on the rescues to see if the perfect pooch comes along. I’ve never had a Boston Frenchie mix but I’ve had 5 Boston’s in my life and they are great little dogs. My current is a rescue and it took quite a while to find one. You can tell by my avatar that Bostons and Frenchies are my favorites and a mix would probably have the best of both. Good luck!

DH and I don't usually exchange gifts, and I've already told my family we're going to have a gift-free Christmas. But I am treating myself to a sparkly little something from another PS-er. But once I receive it, it will need a little trip to the sparklies-spa for some prong rehab and a re-size, so it won't be immediate gratification.

I receive a box of See's Candies every year from an elderly aunt. If anyone wants them, I will mail them to you if you pay for shipping. I have high blood sugar, so I just throw them away year after year and feel guilty about wasting them.

I would love to try them so I can PayPal the money to you, however much shipping is from your location to CT

We just cannot do it to our older cats. They would be miserable. One day I am sure I will get a dog (or two) but for now I live vicariously through my friends who have dogs and through the kindness of strangers who let me ooh and ahhh over their dogs.

I'll ping you when I receive them this year. Glad they will be enjoyed by someone!

Aww thanks @Lookinagain. I just responded to @RunningwithScissors as to why...I so much want a rescue. And I grew up with boxers so I have a real soft spot for frenchies and bostons. They are just the sweetest. You are so lucky!

For now, because of Tommy and Bobby who are older and would be absolutely miserable with a dog in the house we will wait. And hopefully a long time because I want Bobby and Tommy to be with us for many years to come...fingers crossed.
Thanks for your advice and I will start looking when I know it is time. And please hug your sweet dog from me!

I love Sees Candy! You lucky girl. I'm happy to be back up to this deal.

My dogphew is the most adorable Boston and my friend has a delightful Frenchie. I can understand why you love them!!

Hi @MRBXXXFVVS1 & @missy !

You ladies are very kind.

Here's a super quick pic as my husband was driving us home from WF. I was high on sparkly! Its just a quiet, subtle necklace, but that's what I wanted. I was going for the look of a few dew drops glistening on an almost invisible spiderweb.

Love this necklace, what is the length and ctw of yours? The size looks great on you!

Sold!

Christmas china (I'm collecting a new set by Villaroy and Boch)

Which? I just bought myself some of the Naif Christmas. I don’t need more China, but I have the regular naif set and couldn’t resist!

I get it!

Actually, See's is sentimental for me. I had an ill relative I was visiting on the other side of the country every month or so for nearly a year. I started express-mailing her the exact hand-picked See's box I described above. (She had no dietary restrictions and needed calories.) She told me she loved them (of course) but I did not know for sure. Then, after a slight lapse on my part, this person who had never asked me for anything in my entire life (except maybe to move closer) said, "You know, I am getting a little low on those See's..."

 

[lambskin]

Last three years: I first hinted, then stated, then ‘yelled‘ that I I wanted a gift certificate to get individual lashes placed on eyes. So sick and tired of mascara. First year -no one caught the hint-Second year, a few days before Xmas, the ask came as to what I wantedthen last year again the ask again came a few days before despite the traumatic scene that occurred the year before. In fact the Last two years I was so mad, I could not enjoy it even if they had gotten it post ask. Plus, no time for a Groupon deal as they know I feel too guilty spending luxury money on myself. As such what a perfect gift for me. One I would not buy for myself. They should have procured an early deal because when they finally made inquiries, a few days before Xmas after the ask, the cost was nearly $200. Needless to say if they (two college girls and a husband) have not figured it out by now it is never going to happen. ( Yes, I am that person who listens all year to everyone’s wishes and wants and , SURPRISE! those gifts are purchased aNd wrapped months awaiting their place under the tree. )( Yes, I know I can’t expect that ‘clairvoyant’ gift selection and preparation and I am setting myself up for disapointment .)
That being said, I am buying myself a 4 slice toaster as the 15 year old one is dying. Now, do I buy myself a cheap toaster under $40 or a more expensive one over $75?

 

[Cerulean]

I already know what it is. I not-so-coyly sent a link to my husband and I’m 99.9% certain he bought it.

It’s an antique silver moonstone bracelet from the Edwardian era

It’s pure magic…I can’t wait to wreath my wrist in glowing moonstones!

[YadaYadaYada]

@Cerulean I love that moonstone bracelet!

@Cerulean I love that moonstone bracelet!

Aww thank you so much! It was love at first sight!

moonstones are my favorite…if they were even remotely durable I would’ve wanted one for my e ring

Hi 123ducklings

I love that pattern!

I bought Toys Delight. It's whimsical and traditional and lovely.

 

[VRBeauty]

uhm… nothing? Seriously, I’m deep into downsizing right now, and realizing that I have too much of pretty much everything. Even jewelry. And books. And cashmere sweaters (a particular weakness of mine). And cookwear, footwear, linens, and even jigsaw puzzles.

What I’d really like is a few days to enjoy my pastimes guilt free. Which I guess is up to me, really.

Some wine would go well with that, so there’s one thing I wouldn’t mind asking Santa to bring: wine!

Like @missy I would love a pet - a cat, in my case. But we travel so much that it really wouldn’t be fair to adopt one at this point. Maybe in a few years, when we get our trailer!

Let me know. I have one available.







Just sayin...

Same! We are building a new house and downsizing next year so I’m ready to start clearing house now! I’m the opposite of hoarding so extra stuff gives me anxiety. I love jewelry but realize that I wear the same things over and over. So, now I just fill in the gaps and am selling the stuff that doesn’t get worn.
Was not a present, but I am taking a trip with my sister in early December and may get a small jewelry souvenir.

Awww! I wish I could!

I'd say definitely get the fancy toaster AND the lashes!

Ditto. If you can swing the lashes for yourself, do it! And please come back with pics!
