I can never really think of anything I want/need for Christmas so I usually ask for 1 big gift (this year it's a steam mop) and gift cards for new clothes/Bath & Body Works/Kindle books.
Well now, 2 weeks before Christmas when everyone has pretty much finished their shopping, I have about 5 other things I should have asked for (a new kitchen knife set, king size pillows for our bed). I have already started a mental list for next year!
