A's list

Hi family. This is just off the top of my head... You could just pick one and have everyone chip in as I realize a couple items are pricey-ish. I am also in the market for a winter coat but will probably spring for one before the holiday. Thanks!

Trench coat (black or red, medium or size 6)

Sweater (medium or size 6)

Long sleeve tee(s) to wear on own or as an undershirt with sweaters (medium)

KitchenAide Mixer

Cute tea pot (for my collection, now at two)

Black and white photos of Boston, Austin, San Juan Capistrano or Minneapolis (we have black frames to put them in and hang on our walls--I'm thinking cool detail shots of cute streets/landmarks rather than skylines)

Necklace (I have a chunky gold one but need one that's more delicate and medium length (as in to the bosom / breast bone rather than super long; you see this type of necklace a lot these days and they can be worn with everything from t-shirts to dresses)

Gift certs to Crate and Barrel or Nordstrom are a good fall-back idea for me!

Thanks, can't wait to see you all at Chritma!

Hi everyone, cannot wait for Christmas this year, in preparation of it being in Natick Colin and I bought a few board games for us all to play while we are enjoying some cocktails, we bought the updated Cranium as well as the Newlywed game on DVD!
As for gifts for myself I really do not need all that much, but some ideas include:
- hair straightener
- black, 3/4 length puffy jacket
- Uggs
- book by Terence McKenna; either The Invisible Landscape or Food of the Gods; or PostSecret books
- Clothes (sweaters, jeans)
That is a start I will put some more thought into it for a couple cheaper things and of course will get on Colin to make a list!
