Wish List 2011

[vanillafluffy]

It's that time again, and things are even tighter than last year. In keeping with wish_list, here's what I'm hoping to attract from The Universe/my friends/kind strangers. Some are things I'm in need of, others are luxuries that are simply beyond my means.


Reusable shopping bags -- I don't care what store or company they're from. I like bringing my own bag to the store, but eventually the handles break or they come apart at the seams. It would be nice to have a few spares in reserve.

There are so many things I need around the house---a decent flashlight, a grounded extension cord or three, new trash cans, light bulbs---a Home Depot gift card would be great.

An electric heating pad. The bigger the better. For those days when I feel my age or to warm the foot of my bed on a cold winter's night.

Something from my varied and eccentric Amazon wish list (especially season 2 of Justified). It's under my "vanillafluffy at yahoo dot com" email addy.

Lush "New" solid shampoo: http://www.lushusa.com/shop/products/hair/solid-shampoos/new I've experimented, and this is definitely my favorite Lush shampoo. It smells fabulous, and lasts for ages as long as it doesn't sit in a puddle of water and melt (she says from bitter experience).

Anything with Tinkerbell, but not for me. My friend (who I refer to as "the little sister my mama never gave me") is going through a really rotten break-up, and she's into all things Tink---I'd love to be able to cheer her up with your help.

Cards, good wishes and surprises are always delightful.

I feel my age more often than not these days! One wrong move and my back it out--I keep an old heating pad on the ready.
It's funny you mentioned Tinkerbell- my granddaughter is coming for a visit and those are the sheets I picked out for her to use on the guest room bed. Got them at Target~~ maybe you could find them for your friend there.

The back grumbles a bit, but more often, it's the knees.

I love Target---I just wish I could afford to go there more often!

I only allow myself to cruise the Clearance end caps. ha ha I don't ever purchase full price items in there. It's just so much classier and cleaner than Wal-Mart! I seem to get anxiety attacks when I go into Wally World these days...it's always too hot and too crowded.

My main issue with Target is, their plus size section sucks. On the other hand, they WIN at shoes. Cute shoes, even, and I've gotten some nice markdowns.

Agreed- I have gotten some nice things from their Plus section but it's been like an archaeological dig finding them. Now, the Target on MI has a Starbucks so the other day, I munched on lemon iced pound cake and sipped a black iced tea while shopping. I felt very happy. Doesn't take much!
I am not even bothering with a wish list this year- we have son's wedding on Dec 11th so that IS our Christmas- lots of time with family and friends both pre and post wedding. It will more than suffice for me.

Santa's elves just IM'd me that your wish for a Home Depot card and some reusable bags will been granted. :)

Gotta love those tech-saavy elves! I remember laughing at a guy I knew who insisted that flashlights and garbage cans were *alkways* the perfect present. Now I think he may have been on to something!

No elves here, but a little birdy told me a Target gift card is winging its way to you.... :-)

[vanillafluffy.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a real love bird! Here's hoping it has a mild winter in a cozy nest and lots of yummy birdseed in its future!

*hee*

The birdy should be touching down around Monday, the 28th. I hope its flight is uneventful!
