New cashmere gloves. It’s so cold in MN right now!
One thing on my wish list is probably an Ipod Touch
The newer one, and for something less pricey — an OPI nail polish collection (I love the shrek one!)
A spa treatment facial. I have never had one but who doesnt deserve to be pampered once in a while. hehe

I just want a vacation off from work where I could sleep in a bunch, play with my newly adopted kitties, and bake cookies all day!!
A tofu press! Gosh one of those would be so handy!
my grandma’s homemade peanut butter fudge is always a staple on my Christmas list—sometimes its the little things! i think her fudge and your cookies from the giveaway would make quite the pair
A single-cup coffee maker! I’m heading to college next fall and it will definitely be put to good use. hehe.
Time with family and friends is all I want for Christmas
Spending time with family and friends is really what Christmas means to me, and I also bake and make everyone treats to make our bonding time even sweeter
