I come from a large family but I have made a number of gifts that I will be giving out. I have a few more that I need to either make or purchase (I have about 10 more).
On my list I would love a beautiful pair of leather boots.
If I win I think that I might put this towards a new wall clock or a home office chair.
We are on a strict budget this year, so we’ll be buying for our kids, parents, and a couple of select friends.
The #1 item on my wish list is Lowe’s gift cards!
I would use the gift cert on something for our kitchen!
ooo..what a great giveaway!
1. I have to buy for about 10 people this year. I’m trying my best to think of gifts that are great for couples!
2. I’m hoping to get some items from my wedding registry that I did not get as gifts. My top choice is a Le Creuset dutch oven!
3. If I win, it will be so tough not to buy something for someone else but I’d really love to put it towards some le Creuset items!
1. Close to 12? More if we add in little gifts for coworkers.
2. Honestly….I don’t know! My mom is nagging me to put together a list for her and I just don’t know what I want! Truthfully, I’d love a Dyson Animal vacuum. That makes me sound so old!
3. Definitely shopping. I still have lots to do!!
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? Probably around 10?
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? an iPad (just ordered it yesterday! yay!)
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? Probably for my mom. She’s a chef in french pastry & loves anything for her kitchen!
We are buying for two sets of families this year (our first as a married couple, too!), and on the top of my list is an iPad or (and) a dSLR. If I win, I will put the gift certificate toward something Le Creuset in Caribbean for my sister-in-law as a Christmas/housewarming gift.
1. I have 10 people to buy for this year!! I really need to start shopping, I hate to wait until the last few days before Xmas!
2.My husband and I aren’t really doing alot this year ,but I do want a Vera Bradley tech case for my camera! It always gets lost in my bag.
3.I’m sure someone else, I still have shopping to do!
Thanks for such a fun giveway before the holidays!!
We have minimal family to buy for… we really don’t go overboard as it’s not about the presents anyway for us adults. I will buy for the two little ones in my life and my MIL & FIL. Then, my MIL and I always adopt kids from our local Department of Social & Health Services. I have a social worker that I’ve kept in contact with over the years and she gives me a handful of kids who are really deserving and we go spend some time getting good gifts for them. That’s my favorite!
Hubby and I are going to Mexico so we’re not doing gifts… and if anyone else watns to get me anything I’m asking for some things around the house. A Pottery Barn duvet is high on the list for our guest room!
I will probably use the gift card to buy something for me niece or nephew… but who knows? I could find something I love for our house!!!!
there’s 10 immediate family i need to buy for. im almost done though! #1 on my list is a new couch for our new home! and i’d probably use the giftcard to buy kitchen things for myself!!!
Gosh, I tried to comment but I don’t see it? I apologize if you get a double???
1. We only have four family members to buy for… over the years we have really cut back and only do a little bit in order to keep the spirit of Christmas about the right things! I will buy for my niece and nephew and my MIL & FIL. My MIL and I also buy for some foster kids through a social worker that I’ve kept in contact with through the years. It is so fun to get a handful of kids that I trust are really deserving and needy and to buy them some fun stuff!!!
2. I’m not really making a list… Hubby and I are going to Mexico so we’re not doing gifts and if anyone wants to buy stuff for me I will just ask for stuff I want around the house. A new dishwasher, anyone!? HA! No really, I love one of PB’s duvets for my guest room… so maybe that!
3. I will probably buy toys for my niece & nephew… but maybe I’ll spot something I love!!!
1) 16! That’s only family/in-laws too! Wow that’s…more than I thought. Better get to work!
2) A garlic press! I’m so tired of chopping garlic – I put it in almost everything!
3) I would probably use it to buy for someone else! Every little bit around the holidays helps.
We have wayyy too many people on our Christmas list! I seriously can’t even count.
My number one item is a new iPhone!
I would definitely use this to buy for someone else….on our huge christmas list!

I have only a few people to shop for this year. Since I just got married, we’re keeping things very simple and giving wedding pictures as gifts.
The number one item on my list is a new sewing machine!
I would buy a dutch oven for myself with the gift card!
I’m buying gifts for a LOT of people…most of them are kids.
My number 1 want is a cricut!
I want the gift certificate to buy a new dining room light…our house is currently in upheaval with renovations. yeah we are that smart to start them before Christmas!! eek.
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? About 20
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? 50 mm cannon lens
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I’ll buy something from Le Creuset, I’d like to think it’s for everyone
1. We are buying for 12 people this year, not counting hubs and I. Luckily, I’ve already started shopping!
2. A Canon Rebel is at the top of my list, although I think that I’m much more likely to get a new pair of shoes. Mama needs some boots!
3. If I won, I would totally invest in some swanky Le Creuset! Holla!
1. We have really scaled down the past 3 years…So about 15.
2. An iPad!
3. Definitely paying it forward and buying for my Aunt who is an amazing Martha Stewart wanna be
1) We are buying for 24 people! we have a large family!
2) Top of my list is a new tv!

1) We buy for 7 individuals and 4 family gifts
2) A bottle of Hermes 24, Fauborg
3) I would use it for myself – could definitely use some new bakeware!
Let’s see, this year we have 25 gifts to buy just immediate family. (Man, when I write it down it feels way more overwhelming!)
Sadly, the top of my list is some work out gear. About to have this baby any day now and I want to drop that baby weight before my birthday in Feb!
If I win I would probably use the gift card towards a gift… Unless I just can’t resist picking up myself a lil somethin
haha but the smart thing would be to do a lil gift buying!
What an AWESOME give-away!!
1. Our holiday gift list has been slimmed down due to building a new house and impact of the good ‘ol recession the last 2 years. For sure my husband’s kids and all the little ones, including his son’s one year old twins will be top on the list so that’s about 10 total. BUT, I love to buy gifts so sure there will be some surprises under our tree for my husband!
2. I have a very long list for my house…starting with a new foyer table and some art for over our fireplace. Practical stuff that will be for our next. So, that’s two things!!
3. Most likely someone else…my best friend’s b-day is right after Xmas and she’s fun to buy for.
I love this give-away and it couldn’t come at a better time.
1. I have about 25 people to buy for! This includes both sides of our families, friends, friends’ kids and a couple of co-workers. Whew!
2. Number #1 on my wish list is a pair of Etienne Aigner brown boots.
3. I would totally use this gift card for myself! I have my eye on a few things at cookware.com that I would put it towards!
thanks!
1. I am ecstatic to buy for 22 people this year…lots of nieces and nephews!
2. Lilly P’s Shere Sweater Coat…it looks absolutely to die for and is #1 on my list!
3. I love the spirit of giving…I would opt to splurge on someone else to help brighten their holiday season.
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? We are just doing family this year so about 10 or so.
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? A new lens for my camera.
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I’ve been dying to purchase some Le Creuset bakeware (even did a blog post about it) so I’d spend it towards that and cook for everyone!
1. This year I will be buying for about 12 people and I can NOT wait to start my shopping! It’s a wonderful feeling to give the ‘perfect’ gift!
2. The #1 wish list item that I am hoping for is a mortar & pestle set
3. If I were to win the gift certificate and would buy a salt crock for myself and give a gift with the remaining amount.
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year?
I buy for about 5-10 (family, my mister, close friends) and then bake cookies to give to everyone else!
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list?
I’m in the process of buying my first home… so I honestly have to say my #1 is appliances!
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I will probably put it towards something for my house, it’ll be my first time living on my own so there’s a lot of things that I just don’t have yet
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? Around 10? I tend to loose track…should probably firm up that Christmas list a little better!
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? A new purse, David Yurman or Le Crueset
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I would buy myself some wonderful bakeware and cook for my family and friends!
I have about twenty people to buy for this year (family and co-workers). I could cut it in half but hey I think I like Christmas so much because I love to shop!
My number one wish list item would be new perfume (I told my husband to pick something out HE liked!) My wish list to myself was my Christmas cards from Ashley Brooke Designs- CHECK!
I would give it to my mother-in law- she deserves it…she talked me into running a half marathon this year…and signed us up for the marathon 2011- she’s a rock star, she deserves some new nice stuff!
I have about 23 people to buy for this year….but that is part of being from a big family.
I would probably buy something for our kitchen. I really want a dutch oven.
If I win I would probably use it towards our long list of gifts to buy!
1. Hubs only for the big stuff. We do a white elephant between friends and don’t celebrate Christmas with my family who is in NH till August when the visit.
2. IPod Touch! I have a first generation Nano and that little baby has seen better days!!!!
3. I would be a tad selfish and spend it on my self. We just moved into a new house and I need to replace some cookie sheets and stuff like that!
I have to buy for 15 people this year. And…I haven’t even started to think about it! I really really want a larger food processor so I’d probably use the gift certificate for myself. I feel guilty saying that, but it’s the truth.
1. 3 other people to buy for.
2. I’d love a Wii or Jumperroo
3. I’d buy for my kids
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? Currently 10. I keep a running list, and hope no more will be added.
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? A kindle and a David Yurman bracelet.
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I would buy my dad a new food processor. He has been dying for one, but doesn’t want to spend the money on himself.
1. About 10ish (all family – we don’t do gifts beyond that)
2. A healthy baby boy
3. Hmmmm – that’s tough! Probably someone else
1. We have about 10 people to buy gifts for.
2. Number one on my wish list is a new pair of TB flats, the gold snakeskin ones please
3. I’d probably be selfish and use the gift for myself. We’re having Christmas dinner at our house for my husband’s family and I’m sure there are house things I’m going to need.
Oooo I would LOVE this.
Between my husband’s family & mine, we have quite a few people to buy for. About 13 to be exact. But we’re on a strict budget and are planning on getting creative. Lots of handmade gifts this year
The #1 item on my list is MY NEW HOUSE. Our closing is set for December 21st. Some Le Creuset to go in the kitchen wouldn’t hurt though…I think I would treat myself if I’m the lucky winner!!
I have about a dozen gifts to buy this year…so I’d definitely use the CSN gc for someone on my list.
As for me, I’d really, really, really love a new wallet. Mine is ooooold.
1. If I could, I’d be buying gifts for all the people I love…. Right now, though, we are at 15 with half the presents already bought.
2. I have no idea what I want for Christmas this year! I feel like I have all that I want, other than a fabulous new purse.
3. I’d probably spend a little on myself and the rest on my momma. She deserves it.
Call me granny, but my #1 wish this year is a new sewing machine. Hopefully it’s more hip that I want the Project Runway one!
1. We have quite a few to buy for between our families!
2. Le Creuset Dutch Oven in Carribean please!!!
3. I would totally spoil myself and keep the gift for myself! Tis the season to treat yourself some too! =)
Sorry- thought I only had to answer one! Commenting again to add- we are only buying for our son this year because I’ll be having an unpaid maternity leave shortly after the holidays. If I won I’d probably buy something for my husband since otherwise we aren’t getting each other Christmas gifts this year.
1. I have about 10 people to buy for this year, including a couple kids – love finding fun toys to buy for little ones!!!
2. On the top of my wish list this year are a Staub 5 1/2 qt. cocotte in Sapphire and a David Yurman bangle.
3. I would use the gift certificate to buy something for my mom – she has a santoku knife high on her Christmas list this year!!
1. Fortunately I do my shopping year round so I only have to purchase things for my husband and two sons now. But to answer your question, I have 8 nieces and nephews, my husband’s parents and my mom, homemade goodies for neighbors, distant relatives that live close by and co-workers. Then we also send out 100+ cards each year too.
2. The item I want most for Christmas is a new battery for my laptop, which I currently have to keep plugged in to use
3. I would most likely treat us to something and then get something for somebody else too. Most of our family birthdays fall in December and January and we get double hit so it would definitely help w/ getting a gift or two for others.
Thanks for the chance!!!
This year, I have about 5 people to buy for.
For Christmas this year, I would love just a day to myself and maybe a manicure – nothing too huge!
I would definitely use the certificate for my husband – he loves cooking and CSN stores has some fabulous items!
1. We have a big family, so about 15.
2. I’d love a juicer (weird, I know).
3. I’d use this to get something for my brother.
1. 7 or 8 people
2. I want a full night’s sleep. More realistically, I’d love a chance to walk into a bookstore and pick up a new read.
3. I’d use this to pick up a couple of gifts, probably for my mom and grandma.
1. almost 25 other people. big families.
2. i’d love a pregnancy massage
3. i’d use it for my 8 month old!!!
1. I have about 14 or 15 more people left on my list.
2. I am asking Santa for a combination food processor and blender
3. I think the need of the many out weigh the need of the one (sadly)
I feel like I’m buying for about 30 people! Even thought most of those are small gifts. Number one on my wish list? A butcher block kitchen table.
1- too many to count!
2- Number one? A beautiful, simple necklace. Any ideas?
3- I’d buy something for our kitchen, maybe put it towards a LC?!
this year we are attending large family Christmas which means i only need to buy gifts for the ‘rents, my sister and brother and select friends and one grab bag gift for the family exchange (roughly 10)!
my number one gift is the large Hermes enamel H braclet in gray (maybe my third time asking is a charm?)
if i will the gift certificate it will go to buying my mothers parents gift!
This year I will buy from my parents, brother, boyfriend and close friends. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the holidays and I love giving gifts.
I think my #1 item on my list is either a piece of David Yurman or Clarisonic. I miss being younger and having a huge list of toys I want.
If I won the gift certificate, I would give it to my boyfriend. He love to cook and is always shopping for kitchen items. I luckily benefit from his love of cooking.
1) I need to buy for 15 people!
2) I’d like a Kindle!
3) It would be used for either of my two daughters!
sazzyfrazz at gmail dot com
1. We have about 10 gifts or so to buy for people this year.
2. We would love a KitchenAid mixer or there is a Coach purse I’ve been drooling over.
3. Truthfully, I’d probably use it for other people since money is tight and I would love to still get good gifts for people!
1. I have about 10 people to buy for this year
2. My #1 want this year for my fiance to come home early from his deployment!! (honestly can’t think of anything else spectacular)
3. I’m not going to lie…I’d use it for myself. I’ve been tinkering around the kitchen a lot lately and could use some new cookware
1. I have about a dozen people to buy for.
2. Money
3. My mom!
1. About 15 people…most of them nieces and nephews!
2. #1 on my list is a new camera!
3. I’d probably use it for myself! I have so many items on my CSN wishlist!
Thanks for the chance!
xo,
Laura
My siblings decided to donate the money we would normally spend on gifts to the Water Project so I’m just buying for parents and my adorable niece and nephew. I was so excited when I saw your giveaway because I have been dreaming Le Creuset and would buy that for me!
1. 10 people
2. A Kindle
3. Buy for someone else.
I buy for 12 people – my husband’s family and mine. The number one thing on my list is gift cards! I recently quit my job to stay home with my daughter so I’d like gift cards to use during the year. I think I would keep this cookware for our family:-)
I buy for 12 people -my husband’s family and mine. The number one thing on my list is gift cards! I recently quit my job to stay home with my daughter so I’d like gift cards to use during the year. I think I would keep this cookware for our family:-)
#1- We buy for around 13 people during the holidays.
#2- A new pair of brown boots to wear with my new sweater dress
#3- I would buy something for my husband.
Ohhh! I’ve recently jumped on the CSN bandwagon too; Just two weeks ago I purchased a dining room set, coffee table, and accent table from them. Great customer service and super fast shipping!!
Anyway, on to the questions:
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year? Far too many to count… I just started counting and ran out of fingers, so let’s just say 10+. Good news is, I’m going to try to make a lot of handmade gifts this year or buy things off Etsy to make it a “Handmade Christmas”
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list? I’ve been wanting a fabulous painting that I spotted a few weekends ago in a local art gallery. Pretty bizarre for me to ask for a painting for Christmas, but it has really stuck with me.
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else? I’d use the certificate to buy something for my house. My husband and I just purchased and moved into this home, from a condo, 5 months ago and we now have more rooms (aka more space!) to furnish and decorate.
1. I have to buy for around 15-18 people! Yikes!
2. Hmmm, maybe the fuji film instanx camera.
3.I would honestly give it to my dad who loves to cook
1. I’m getting married so my family to buy presents for has doubled in size….probably about 20 people this year.
2. My Christmas list includes new cookware and a vacuum cleaner for our house.
3. I would probably buy something for my fiance or my mom.
My primary Christmas purchases will be for my immediate family and parents, about 10. We have several gift exchanges on both sides of the family so that means several more small gifts. You know the ones…”What can you buy for a 40 year old man for under $20 that isn’t a flashlight, screwdriver set, thermos or socks?”
I don’t really have a lot on my Christmas list this year as I feel like I have already been blessed with everything I need. I could use some new pj’s.
I would use the gift certificate for a gift for my “Le Creuset” crazed daughter. Didn’t really think she liked to cook but give her a Le Creuset dish and an All-Clad pan and she is suddenly the Iron Chef.
1) 22 people, mostly family… I try to start shopping early
2) J.Crew Cashmere V-neck Cardigan
3) Probably someone else… my mom or my boyfriend’s mother. Every little bit helps.
We have about 15 people to buy for this year! Thank goodness for Christmas Clubs!!
The thing I would love for Christmas is more crafting supplies!!
I’d use the gift certificate for someone else and maybe myself too!:)
I have quite a few people to buy for, my family as well as my fiance’s mom and my fiance!
What I would love for Christmas is part of our wedding china that we have registered for!
I would use the gift certificate to get some of my Le Cruest and take it off the registry!
I married into a large family, so my shopping list is quite daunting! #1 on my wish list is an ipad … keeping my fingers crossed! If I win, I would use the gift certificate to buy something for my sister who is an amazing cook.
I have about 15 people to give gifts to – although the last few years we’ve been making our own food baskets and everyone’s is identical – so much easier and more affordable for us!
Number one on my list is a waffle maker, I think. We didn’t register for one when we got married and now I find myself wanting to make waffles all the time, which is kind of impossible without a waffle maker.
Oh I hate to be selfish, but my birthday is right before Christmas and I’d use the gift certificate to get a treat for myself
My holiday list includes gifts for my three children, husband, our nanny and some family – probably totals 10 or so.
I would love a new immersion blender! Hint, hint – in case Matthew is reading this!
I would probably use the gift certificate to purchase some kitchen items for myself – maybe a new saute pan??
Thanks for hosting such a fun giveaway and congratulations on your marriage.
1. I am buying Christmas presents for 16 people! Whew – busy lady!
2. My number one WISH is for a new camera lens to sharpen my photography skills.
3. If I win, I’m treating myself to a Dutch oven – I registered for one when I got married 2 months ago but, sadly, didn’t get it. Now’s the time! Fingers crossed!!!
1. We have around 15 people to buy for… Wow, that’s a lot!
2. Top item on my wish-list would have to be a new Gucci wallet OR some fun house stuff.
3. I would buy something for my Mama who deserves it! xoxo
I have to buy for 25 people this year. Thankfully we don’t have a very large family!
My number one thing on my list is a cast iron Dutch Oven!
If I won I would have to buy something for myself!
1) 10–immediate family on both sides and a few special friends
2) Tory Burch Leopard Revas…totally unnecessary given the snow, but totally what I want.
3) Definitely a gift pour moi!
1. I have to buy for 15 people this year. Luckily I got a jump start earlier in the year.
2. On my list this year is a new watch.
3. If I win I will either use the gift card for myself or get my sister-in-law something for her birthday which is right after Christmas.
1. I have the usual cast of thousands to buy for this year.
2. On my list is a healthy baby girl due right before Christmas.
3. If I win I will beef up our Le Creuset collection.
1. I think we have to buy for around 20 people this year. Yikes!!
2. We just found out we are having a baby, so I would love a new camera!
3. I have always wanted a Le Creuset dutch oven, so I might have to use it towards that!!
1. I have about 10 people to buy for!
2. I reaalllllly want a Vintage Pearl necklace.
3. I will probably buy something for someone else!
I need to buy for 10 people.
I really want a Tory Burch handbag.
I would like to say I’d use the giftcard for someone else, but…
I haven’t had the courage to count the number of gifts we need to purchase – it scares me!
The number one thing on my list is a second wedding band to flank my engagement ring.
I would probably give the gift card to my MIL because she is fantastic!!
I have about 12 people to buy gifts for this year,and thats way more then I can afford
jacksoncrisman@yahoo.com
Sorry I did not leave this on one comment.I have ADD and never seem to get these giveaway rules exactly.Um,Number one on my list this year is a Ipod.I have never had one but it would be nice to have while I exercise.
If I won I would be buying a gift for my niece
jacksoncrisman@yahoo.com
Thanks for asking how many people I need to buy gifts for, I haven’t had a chance to count. My first guess is about 15, and we are keeping it simple this year. Thinking Harry & David gift baskets for most.
I most want a Land’s End Canvas gift card,I love their clothes, but haven’t bought any for myself yet!
If I win the gift certificate, I have to say, I plan on being selfish and using it to by myself something! I’ve been wanting a Le Cruset 6 or 7 qrt pot and this would help the sting of the price tag!
I am purchasing gifts for about 18 people this season. Some will be big gifts (family members) and others will be smaller (daughter’s friends).
The number one item on my wish list is a kitchen remodel from my husband.
I will also be happy with a new Kate Spade handbag.
If I win the gift card (PLEASE!) I will probably shop for myself. Is that wrong?
1) We have about 15 people to buy for this year. Probably a few more here or there.
2) Top on my list is a DSLR camera…we have a baby on the way and a 2 year old at home so we want to be able to take great pictures!
3)I would probably use it for something for myself..it’s been way to long since I bought something for me!
That’s what happens when you have a kid right!? 
I have to buy gifts for about 20 people this year, so this would really come in handy;)
My number #1 for my wishlist is the Steven Madden Intyce boot in cognac
If I win this, I would buy something for someone else! One less gift on the list.
I have too many people to shop for – mainly family. I haven’t even purchased the first gift…yikes! A new pair of cowboy boots is #1 on my wish list, and I would definitely use the gift card on others. Fingers crossed, I could really use this!
1. How many people do you have to buy gifts for this year?
we have probably 10 or 15 people/couples to buy for still!
2. What’s your #1 wanted item on YOUR wish list?
i’ve been wanting a kitchenaid mixer and a baking stone from pampered chef!
3. If you win, will you use the gift certificate to buy something for yourself OR for someone else?
i’d like to put it toward some kitchen gadgets for me, but i’d like to put the bulk of it toward helping with our shopping list!
We are working from an austerity budget this year so we are buying for immediate family only; about 10 people.
I would love a pair of Tory Burch pumps.
If I was lucky enough to win I think I would use the gift certificate for something in my kitchen. Have been taking cooking lessons…at age 52!
Thanks for a great giveaway.
Best,

I will buy for about 15 people this year but am trying to cut costs where I can.
I would LOVE some new Nikon camera!
I confess I REALLY need a new hand mixer so I would use it for that!
#1 there are way too many people in my life that deserve gifts, unfortunately my bank account doesn’t seem to understand that. So this year will be homemade gifts for most.. and a metal detector for my 8 year old son Jax. (he is obsessed w/ treasure hunting)
#2 No.1 on my wishlist is to just make it through the holidays this year
#3 if I were to win, it would be used for my parents gift, as they just put in a new kitchen at their house
I don’t have too many to buy for, really. But I’m a single mama to a 5 year old who I’m sure will make out like a bandit!
One thing I want – new perfume. Specifically: Pretty by Elizabeth Arden.

CAMERA!!!
gifts, that’s a lot of people to shop for!
I have 10 people to buy for this year including my cute 2 year old nephew
I really want Dolce & Gabbana’s perfume “The One”
If I win, I will probably spend it on me
1. I have 18 people to buy for this year. I have already finished up 6 people though!
2. I am hoping for a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer! We didn’t register for one when we got married because our first apartment in DC was so small, but now that we are in a house we have lots of room!
3. I would use the gift certificate to buy some Le Creuset for my momma!
Fun, fun, fun! We’re on a tight budget this year, so I’ll only be buying for Secret Santa person I receive on the Mr’s side of the family. I’m hoping that everyone else will be getting handmade gifts, time & old sewing machine willing!
My #1 wishlist item would be a ‘big girl’ camera, but I think Santa may wait for that to arrive after the Mr’s MBA program is over.
I’m dying to have a kitchen mandolin, so that’s what my certificate would go towards!
1. I have about 10 people to shop for this year, and I plan to bake cookies for another 20 or so.
2. On my wish list? A mounted flash for my Canon and a tagine from Emile Henry.
3. I would use the gift certificate to get a Le Creuset Dutch oven for my well-deserving mother!
1) I have about 15 people to buy for
2) new pair of black boots or David Yurman bracelet
3) I don’t know, I may get my mother a little something if I win.
Thanks Nina!
1) I have to buy gifts for about 15 people.
2) A Helen Ficalora paw print charm necklace
3) Probably something for my and my husband’s home
Fun!
1. Small family so only about 12.
2. I really want a new fireplace screen/we need it
3. I’d buy the fireplace screen from CSN since they have the one I like!
1. Lots and lots of people… family and friends!
2. We’re expecting a baby in April, so we’re hoping for the car seat, stroller, high chair, etc.
3. With this gift certificate, I’d use it toward my Christmas list for our family!
Luckily, my husband and I have trimmed our list significantly and now only have to buy presents for our immediate family and we only buy for the kids, not the adults so my list is down to 5!
My #1 request is for a new pair of black boots. Oh, how I need some new black boots.
And if I won the giveaway I’m sure I’d use the gift certificate on myself. That Le Creuset cookware just looks too good to pass up!
1. I have bought gift for 15 or so people. Not to mention the people who get homemade cinnamon rolls or chex mix for their gift. What can I say, I am a giver.
2.A NEW Sewing Machine and after yesterday, specifically the Viking Sapphire 835.
3. Definitely be using this to buy a gift for Sister In Law’s Birthday in Feb. and maybe a little something for me…who knows.
I have too many people on my christmas list to count — or maybe it just feels that way because i’m hoping to do all handmade gifts this year, thanks to my new sewing skills. and my new sewing skills and hobby mean that a new, modern machine is what i’m hoping santa will bring me. My grandma’s machine is great, but i’d really love something with cruise control! I’d love to say i would use the prize to buy for someone else, but truthfully, i’d probably use it on little old selfish me!
1. 10-12 people, but there is always someone I have to do last minute shopping for!
2. New camera, and a iPad (of course)
3. I’d probably end up spending it on myself. My kitchen is lacking in bakeware.
1. I’m sticking to simply my family and rommates this year for gift giving.
2. I’m still dying to get a rose gold Michael Kors watch.
3. I just moved to a new apartment and my kitchen is in need of some help. I’d stock up on some much needed essentials that I’m currently lacking.
Oh goodness, though I have pared down the number of people we buy for, it’s still too large to count! I REALLY REALLY want a new camera, followed by a video camera. It’s definitely time for an upgrade! I’d probably spend in on my two year old son. We’re re-doing his room and I’ve been on the search for storage solutions, prints, etc. So fun!
I think I only have to buy for 12, not including my husband.
I’m not really sure what I want. I’m pregnant right now, so I think I will ask for lots of gift cards to go shopping for myself after the baby is born! I would definitely spend the gift card on me! I have lots of Dijon LC. I saw some on the website you linked above. It was previously only sold at Williams-Sonoma!
I have to buy for 12 – and I’ve already knocked out 8 of those gifts! But I have a short time frame to work with because we’re pregnant and due in 4 weeks! The #1 item on my list is a new handbag – I’ve been rocking the same one for 2 years, and if I win this giveaway, I’m buying something for myself!
1. I have to buy for….14 people.
2. An Infinity FX…my car currently has a bow and arrow puncture from my mother in law, a blue gash from my husband running into a fire hydrant, and will takes about 10 minutes to go above 60 MPH.
3. I need a new food processor- my current one’s lid will not fit over it!
1. Buying for 6
2. I NEED new jeans – 2 pair, one medium wash and one black
3. I’d use it for something for my mom
I only have about five people to buy for–I have a small family! At the top of my wishlist is a Kitchenaid stand mixer or a serger. I would probably use the gift code to buy gifts for relatives!
1. Only 4 on my list
2. I’d love new dishwasher! Of course that’s a BIG item, but I also need a new black purse
3. I’d get my daughter a Flirty Apron!
Need to buy for 9 people
I would get some cookware.

I will get something for my wife
tahearn at roadrunner dot com
Won’t know until Thanksgiving if our family will draw names or if we will buy for everyone which would make 16. If I could get anything on my wish list it would be a new camera…to take pictures of that family. I would use the gift certificate for a portable greenhouse to overwinter my herbs and plants.
I have to buy gifts for about 10 people.
I really want a new washer/dryer.
I would use the gift certificate to buy my boyfriend the cuisinart food processor he wants because I cannot afford it otherwise.
(1) I have 8 people to buy for… although it seems like it should be more!
(2) Cuisinart Elite 12 cup food processor!
(3) I don’t know… I know of 3 things on my MIL’s list I could buy at CSN… but am I terrible if I say I’ll probably buy some Le Creuset for myself and buy my MIL’s gift on Evs’ credit card?
We have to buy gifts for about 15 people! And I haven’t started shopping yet!
I’m dying for a new pair of tan leather boots.
I would buy new dishes! We will be moving soon and a new kitchen deserves new stuff!
We have over a dozen people to buy for but I don’t mind. in fact I love it! Shopping for others is the best. my number one on my wish list happen to be a pair of diamond earrings. lofty goal I know lol. I’d use the gift card on my husband because he deserves it!
I have about 15 people to buy gifts for this Christmas. I don’t mind much, as I much prefer to give gifts than receive!
Top on my list…hmmm…maybe a DSLR upgrade? But that would be really dreaming.
If I won, I will definitely be using it for someone else. Like I said, I LOVE giving!
I will have 6 major gifts and a heckuva lotta little gifts that I will hopefully be able to make!
I would love some Ever Alamo Cargo Pants!
I would spend the Card on someone else because money is tight this year and don’t have a lot to go around!
I have to buy for about 22 people this year. Unfortunately, the purse is a little tight after having our little one. J and I have been doing slim holidays for a while now, so the only thing I asked for is a new tortoise shell watch. I have a couple of other watches, but I love the look. Honestly, I think I’d use the CSN $$ to get something for us!!
1. We technically don’t *have* to buy for anyone, as one half of our household is currently laid off.
2. I would die for a DSLR. I will prioritize reasonably in the meantime and continue to ask for our health and stability during this time – everything happens for a reason!
3. I would use it to purchase a bunch of small gifts for our family. Although nothing is expected, I still absolutely love the idea of picking out a gift that is personal and fits one”s personality. No matter how small, a gift from the heart is always appreciated. The gift card could go a long way this year!
1. 20-25
2.I am lusting after a new mac, and a new neverfull.. of course what I look forward to most is time with friends/family
3. i would buy some items to make holiday cooking/baking easier
I have 12 people to buy for this year.
I’d love a new pair of slippers – I wear mine out quickly.
I would love some new cushions for the living room, so if I am lucky enough to win, I will be buying some new cushions!
1) 12 people-ish
2) some time to sew
30 I’m keeping this for myself
1. About 15 people – mainly family!
2. I would love a Kitchen Aid Mixer.
3. I would split it up – use a little for me and little for someone else.
We have to buy for about 10-15 people this year, I think. I would buy a Le Creuset grill pan. We like to do our actual Christmas shopping for people at local stores. Guess I’ll have to take one for the team and choose a present for myself online!
I would say about 15 or 20
a new watch
I would buy something for the kids
truthhole@gmail.com
1. I have to buy for less than 5 people this year. We do the dice game with extended family which is VERY fun!

3. Selfishly, I might use it on myself

If I win this will be given to my mom. She truly deserves this gift
1. I’m buying gifts for probably 10 people this year.
2. So many things, but this has gotten me thinking about cookware – I need some!
3. Can’t decide – my only cookware is hand-me-down corningware and I don’t even have a proper casserole dish, just a little square one I make work. But it would also take care of a gift for my best friend or mom, so we’ll just have to see what mood strikes me!
I am buying for about 8 people this year. Hmm…on my list is a new purse or a nice cast iron dutch oven! If I won, I would probably either buy some cast iron cookware or something fun for my brother since he likes to cook!

Oh my, we have a few people in each of our families we’ll be buying gifts for! I only know what we’re getting for one person so far! We’ve been so busy!
I have not really had time to even think about it! our families never do big gifts, but I may ask Hubby for new side tables for our family room, hehe!! I have no idea! I have been wanting a new watch too! (each watch I’ve had keeps disappearing, that never happens! I always take them off and put them in one of a couple places! but my watches, that I’ve loved! ahhh!)
If I win, we’d probably use it towards the new side tables, they’re from CSN!!
I hope I win!!!
We have about 20 people that we need to buy for this year…..the list seems to grow and grow each year with new nieces and newphews (which I love buying for!) I have just started my shopping for the ones under 2, which only takes care of about 3 gifts, so I better get movin!
I really really would like a new duvet and shams for our Master Bedroom! They are the only thing on my list from my financee, so I am pretty sure I will get those! They are from Pottery Barn, and I just love them!
If I won, I would either get a gift for my sister who also loves to cook like I do, or I would splurge on myself and get some more LC, just have one of their bakeware pans and love it so far!
Happy Early Thanksgiving!
1) I’m buying gifts for 12 people this year
2) The item at the top of my Christmas list this year is a new purse
3) If I won I would probably use it for myself. I have my eye on the Le Creuset bake ware like you recently purchased!
- I have a TON of people to buy for. I missed out on a lot of weddings and gifting this year.
-I don’t really have anything on my list : / ummmm
-I guess depending on when the item could arrive would determine if I would put it towards someone else’s gift or towards something we could use!
