Now that the holiday season is in full swing, I've been busy buying Christmas gifts for everyone on my list (getting close to being done!), and it started me thinking, what would I like for Christmas (or, more likely, what things will I eventually buy for myself!)?
A cute apron, since I'm just a regular domestic goddess these days (Not! But I could still use a cute apron.)

The best catnip in the world. Well, really this is a present for my kitties, but it's so fun to watch them all cracked-out on this stuff, that it's sort of a gift for me too!
Victoria's Secret pjs (that come with free slippers with a promo code on their home page!). So cute!
A gift card to H&M. Since I lost some weight last spring, and have kept most of it off, I'm in need of some new clothes, especially pants. But I can't easily order online from Victoria's Secret anymore, since I'm not sure what size I am in fitted pants there anymore. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and actually go try on clothes in person.
I'm also really intrigued by the new Levi's Curve i.d. jeans, so a Levi's gift card would be awesome too. I would gladly go into the San Francisco store to get custom fitted, for jeans that would actually fit correctly in all the right places!
And of course, I'm dying for a nice DLSR camera. I hinted to my husband that he shouldn't get me anything for Christmas, and should combine my Christmas and birthday gifts to get me this bad boy this spring:

I've wanted diamond stud earrings to wear in my second ear holes, since, well, forever. So these are always on my list! I'd actually asked for them as my wedding gift from my husband, but then I ended up going about $500 over budget on my wedding band, so that became my wedding gift (although, now that I think about it, I did pay for my wedding band myself...).

The Canon EOS Rebel T2i. I would have so much fun learning how to use this, instead of trying to get cool shots with my little point and shoot Canon that lives in my purse.
I need to do a little more research on lenses though. It's only $100 more to get it with the kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6), however, I think I really want this lens, the EF 50mm f1.4 USM, for about $350. So I need to look into if it's worth the extra $100 for the kit lens, since I did see in reviews that it's a good lens for a kit, or if I should just go with the body and the 50mm lens. Or maybe I should hold off on the more expensive lens and try to get away with just the kit lens for a while, until I learn the camera?
What are your wish list items this year?

Great gift list! That apron is so super cute! The top two things on my list are a nice watch and a Kindle. For the camera, I think you'd probably be fine with the lens kit until you become more familiar with the camera, but hopefully you can do some more research and get more info.
Oh good lord, I don't even wanna think about things that I WANT.. too much stuff! I'd love some new, cute pjs too- right now I sleep in old sweats and a baggy sweatshirt! Oh yeah, slipping right into crazy, unattractive housewife habits!
Love the apron! Super cute! And we both share the need for a dslr! It's the one thing I REALLLY want. Also, the picture of the kitty on that catnip has me rolling on the floor! Beyond funny!
That apron is adorable! I am totally adding that to my wish list. And you can NEVER go wrong with VS jammies.
The cats are gonna love some of that catnip. ;)
Such great gifts! I haven't even started on my wish list yet, but diamonds are always a welcome gift. I love the apron, and the fact that you are loving cooking. Watch out, it gets addictive - I spend just as much money on exotic ingredients as I do on craft supplies :)
Oh, I NEED that catnip for my kitties! That apron is adorable too.
I just got a DSLR (right around the start of fall - the Canon Rebel T1i). I bought the camera with just the standard 18-55 mm lens, and it's been great to learn with! I do wish I had a macro lens. They're super expensive though... boo.
I love ALL the items on your list! I wish there was PUG-nip (probably peanut butter!) for the dogs... my cats growing up LOVED catnip and it always cracked me up!
I LOVE that apron (and really everything else on your list, including the catnip for my own crazy kitty!). I might have to add a few of these things to my own list! :)
