zeeba Target has some stemless Reidel glasses that are relatively inexpensive but still good wine glasses.

What I would like is a long, warm bathrobe. No fleece, no synthetics. Pendleton has new "whisperweight," washable wool bathrobes for both men and women. I might have to order one for Santa to leave for me.

We're at the point in our lives where we buy whatever it is that we want, so the only things left to get us are things that we don't want, lol.

Stuff... I do not even want to think about it. That's why we are giving ourselves 2 RT plane tickets, a hiking permit, and a couple of nights in a hotel.  The expat kiddo will get a money transfer, and the local kiddo and her hubby will get gift cards to nice restaurants.

swimcatsmom -
We have had the Cuisinart Griddler (GR-4) for 4-5 years and love it. Great for paninis, grilled cheese, grilled chicken breasts, etc. It's wonderful that you can open it up and use it flat - makes a nice large griddle surface for making lots of pancakes or French toast at one time! Much better than using a skillet.
With the floating hinge, you can make even a very thick panini - I made a big thick Reuben the other night that was absolutely delicious.

What I really want is a ticket to go visit my D (only child) in London. I miss her and would love to meet her new friends. (sigh)

Momcat2 - thank you. That is the exact one I have been looking at. I like the floating hinge idea as well. I think I may just go for it. Amazon has it for a very good price plus another $10 off with some sort of coupon and I have Amazon Prime so no shipping. I don't think H will care what brand I get (unlike his picky wife who gets a bit peeved when she ask for something specific and he buys her something he thinks is better).

swimcatsmom, I bought one at Costco yesterday for $69.99 minus a $15 discount so paid just $55 for it. Amazon's price is $79, so even with your coupon, it's still more than Costco. If you have a Costco close enough, it's worth the trip.
I was a little concerned with some of the negative reviews that mentioned uneven heating and problems with the nonstick coating. The positive reviews heavily outweighed the bad ones, but I can always return it to Costco if I experience any of those problems.

Swim cats, i think he would love that griddler. I have a George Foreman that i use for meats and a big electric griddle that i use for pancakes, bacon, breakfast etc. that thing looks like the best of both worlds and would be easier for me to store! Can you afford to get him the waffle plates too? Maybe he will make you breakfast!

swimcatsmom--best of luck with your DH. My Dad was just diagnosed with esophageal cancer and starts chemo tomorrow.
For Christmas, I want a medium weight bathrobe. I have a nice cotton one for summer and a thick fleece one but it's too warm and the cotton one isn't warm enough  . I'm like LB where no one really remembers to get me anything for birthdays and Christmas so I usually end up buying my own. I just sit and watch everyone else open presents on Christmas....

Steve, that reminds me of my dad. Nobody ever knows what to get him so eventually we go in together and get him something big... Then at Christmas he's done opening things in about five min and spends the rest if the time watching us.

I want a new bathrobe..as in terry cloth out of the bath/ shower robe. Also I saw a clock I like from a furniture maker I like a lot . It was on sale, but I think it might be gone already. That is the only indulgent thing on my list, other things are practical and the usual useful gadgets

I think my husband and I are giving each other a new fridge and dishwasher. Last year we gave each other granite counters.
Typically our holiday gifts are things we need...new socks, pajamas, gloves, etc.
