I am asking more this year for giftcards and money. I am trying to make my measly professional wardrobe grow so that I have clothes to wear next fall and spring when I do my student teaching!

I'm not sure yet. all I know is that I need a new toiletry bag  we are also moving in December, so I think we'll stay low key with presents, since moving isn't cheap |

You're becoming a teacher? Professional wardrobe is definetly a good idea then! I just finished my 6 week long student teaching period, and realized fast that my style wasn't a lot different from my pupils. For instance, if I met other girls in the bathroom they would repeatedly ask me to bum a cigarette  My wishlist I think goes something like this: giftcards on books money CDs blender crosscountry skiis |

Hanna, I have a system with my buying. I'm trying to buy stuff that I can wear conservatively at school and less-conservatively (not that I dress like a whore or anything) for when I go out with friends and my boyfriend. Basically, I'm trying to get into the layering thing, something I don't really do. It's harder than I thought to buy acceptable clothes lol

It is hard though, because when I'm shopping and I see something that is really me, I have to walk away from it and buy something "boring" instead!  becoming a teacher is harder than I expected  |

I haven't made up my mind yet on what I want for Christmas... I'm pretty sure I'm going to get some books (I emailed my amazon wish-list to my mom so she probably got the hint ) I really want to get started on my Christmas shopping early, usually I am a last minute shopper but this year I'm determined to be more organized... |

I found some perfume today I really like, three by Kenzo. Amour, Winter Flower and Power. I might hint to Phil about one of them |

It is onlt a few weeks until Christmas and I don't really have an idea what I want. Also I haven't got ANYTHING for anyone yet! lol. But i did send a letter to my dad because he wanted to know what I want. I made it a little funny, writing "Dear Santa" and funny little captions here and there. But I asked for books, world peace (but I don't think he can get me that) and a few other things just to give him some choices.
I still can't believe Christmas is only a few days away!

My parents basically told me what I'm getting for Christmas, because they want me to pick it out. I'm getting the Blackberry Pearl.
