I know I'm on there twice, but it's my swap and I can do what I want to :P. JK, it just worked out the way the way I organized it and I could have done it differently but now it's done so there. It's early, I've only had half my coffee. That's all, lol.

My wish list:

something special for the baby-to-be like a wooden rattle or a silver bracelet or something like that. I've always wanted one of the chime rattles that are the silver balls that make that nice chime-y noise.

Soft wool yarn, enough for a pair of longies would ROCK! A gift card to Michaels would be well loved (and spent immediately on yarn, lol).

Flavored coffee both decaf and regular, mild roasts preferred (nothing too strong). I don't have a grinder so it should be pre ground please!

Soft wool socks for myself. I wear slip-on clogs even in winter and my feet get cold.

A fun maternity t-shirt with a fun saying. I'm an XL. Gently used is fine

A gift card to Target so I can take advantage of those after-christmas clearance sales. I love getting decorations and lights and ornaments for the next year. I'ts my dream to cover my home in lights. Love it!

Anything pagan or goddess themed. I would love a hand-made picture, a photograph framed, something meaningful and pertinent to the pagan/goddess centered faith.

A grounding or balancing essential oil blend for wearing on myself (perfume style, lol). I am pregnant so that may play a role in what is safe to use/wear.

Pampering/care items for labor, delivery, post delivery. I was thinking sitz bath stuff or a nice oil for massaging (perineum friendly especially) or whatever else you had that was amazing and you wouldn't want to be without. I never get to spend money on stuff like this so I'm not even sure what's out there.

A gift card for a family photo at Picture People. I have a membership but never seem to have the money to purchase more than one photo.

Whimsical or fun fairy decor items. Especially those with the color periwinkle in them to match our whimsical formal living room.

Pampered chef Kitchen Shears.

Tickets to see a movie (giftcard). I haven't been to a movie in FOREVER and I would really love to go see one with dh this holiday season.

A gift card to spend in a great wolf lodge gift shop. My mom is gifting us a mini-vacation in December and we won't have any extra money to spend.

A bamboo towel, handtowel, hair towel, washcloth, whatever you can get with $10, lol.

I'd love to try one of these: organic cotton tie nappy diaper wrap (http://www.tinybirdsorganics.com/organiccotton/tie_nappy.html)

Pampered Chef scrapers

Garlic Twist (I have wanted one of these forever, man is that a cool device, lol): Garlic Twist Garlic Chopper (3 color choices) - Stocking Stuffer Gifts (http://www.chefsresource.com/garlic-twist.html) (there are other places to get this, just found this link first) I would love a red one but am not picky.

A ginger grater/food plane for ginger (I use a ton of ginger in cooking, and garlic, lol)

I'll do this with you Gwen. I need to figure out a wish list though..

I'd like to do this too. Let me think of a wish list too.

ETA:

giftcard to Joanns
stocking hat handmade in greens or tan
anything from Gooseberry Patch
handmade soaps-- Patuchloi, or any
gc- borders
anything handmade- ornaments etc
jar or votive candles
chocolates
surprise me

Count me in! I like surprises :-)

Here are a few ideas of things I like, but I do like surprises. We are vegan, so we don't consume animal products- like eggs, milk, etc.

Anyway, I love:

Candles- OK with beeswax or other
WAHM Soaps or any bath related items
handmade items (since I am not crafty!)
books- I love reading!
vegan chocolate!
we are not religious, but are spiritual

I hope that is enough to go on...

Ok..try to keep it simple..

Book gift cards and/or credits to paperbackswap.com

Soaps from Dreamseeds

g/c to target, old navy, etc.

calendar

Wool roving or merino wool any color

Wool Felt

Essential oils: Peppermint or Eucalyptus

Classical music CDs.

I can add more as I think of it :D

okay, here's my list.. I'll add more if I think of it.

*Small flavored coffees (no nut or dairy due to allergies) – the little packages of ground are great. We usually buy beans and grind them, but it’s nice to have little ones pre-ground for days when Leila won’t let me put her down and I *need* coffee.

*dark chocolate m&ms

*Med shirts, sweaters, medium petite pants (I have short legs!) – prefer deep or muted colors, love v-necks Love strip skirts and could use jammies too. Don't like nursing clothes, except dresses, prefer dresses and skirts ankle length, and think mama made is wonderful. good condition used items are nice too.

*Novels – historical romance or pagan/goddessy preferred – used is wonderful, but I'd suggest checking to see if I've read it first as I'm fairly addicted to books.

*Things for my altar – crystals, wands, mother/child things, pretty candles, etc. I’m most drawn to the celtic, and Bridgit and the triple goddess. Anything that relates to the interconnectedness of women. Handmade or found items are perfectly acceptable as well.

*Celtic mandala wall calendar for next year

*celtic or pagan music, esp. child friendly stuff. We've got circle round :) Copies are fine.

*guided meditation CD for children

*storytelling CDs for kids.. copies are fine. We've got Jim Weiss' Egyptian treasures, My father's Dragon and a Dr. Seuss one.

*a small labyrinth (not plastic, please) - I'm wanting one with a chartres pattern especially, but the cretan labyrinth is okay too

*An ornament or figurine or something handmade of a mommy and 3 children or couple and 3 children

*holiday stuff.. for some reason I'm liking gingerbread people a lot this year

*Felted dolls – I’d love seasonal stuff or something goddessy

*I’m open to lots of handmade stuff.. if you think of something, ask me?

*Gift cards.. yankee candle, starbucks, target, barnes and noble, dreamseeds.

*my favorite colors are oceany colors (blues, teal, purples) and autumn colors (dark green, browns, burnt orange, gold, plum, burgundy..)

post away :)

Bumping up to make sure those viewing new posts see this. Ship early if you can!

it's on its way, Gwen. :)

Got mine from Korwynne :D. Can't wait to open it. You should have heard the squeals of delight from Winnie when she saw the wrapping paper. I was like "no honey, those are for MAMA", lol. The look on her face was priceless. I think she thinks I'm kidding, lol.

Korwynne is going out today. Sunflower will go out a tad late (I know, breaking my own rule) but WILL be there in time. I had to go hunting for the perfect gift and finally found it. It's on it's way here but won't make it back out by tomorrow. I'm hoping by Monday.

got my package today, thanks.

I absolutely adored my gift..opened it on xmas..a bunch of soaps from dreamseeds and some little beeswax ornaments..a lovely gift and I adore the soaps!! Thanks Christine!

got my package today, thanks.

Oh, just today? Oh I'm so sorry it was late. Broke my own rule and all. It took longer to get to me than I anticipated and by then it was cross fingers and hope it arrives.

Do you like it? I stressed over it so much. I wanted something you'd like!

I got both of mine and loved all of it. Chocolate scarfed, coffee brewed (well, some of it), figurine adorning a special place, soap yummy and man that sugar scrub is AWESOME! Loved it all. Thanks both of you!

Hope the birthy type stuff helps Gwen :)

Thank you so much for my outfit :) I was thrilled!
