Is there anything else that you really like but didn't/wouldn't buy it for yourself? Either because it seemed frivilous or you didn't have enough money? Maybe something you thought about getting a while ago but then sort of forgot about or gave up on? Or something kind of practical that you just haven't bothered to buy? Usually when I can't think of anything I either rack my brain for things that I wanted earlier in the year but never bought myself - like those Reform antler earrings which I still love but I keep getting distracted by other items- or something I could really use but am too cheap or lazy to buy - like a really nice frying pan or a high quality mattress pad, both of which were too boring for me to shell out $ for but both of which have really improved my life.

cc -- that's the route i'll probably end up going. i need a dvd player, and never got around to buying one. but i might ask one of my brothers for that. i really, really wanted this draugsvold necklace (the one with the birds) but it's sold out on girlshop. i feel like such a bad shopper.

honey - I think they still have that necklace on Testimo. Also they are one of the vendors at the Market on Mulberry St. You can probably call them to see if they are still selling that necklace at the booth. Although I guess you'd then have to buy the necklace yourself rather than having someone buy it for you. But at least you might not be out of luck! Their website lists stores as well as a contact number.

*gasp* you don't actually want anything right now?

i am always trying to reach this state of nirvana. but there's always something.

i agree with cc. there are a lot of things i'd like but don't ever buy. for me (some are needs, some are completely 100% frivolous):

*shelves for my wall

*new sheets

*closet organizers

*maybe a cute end table

*new eyeglass frames (i want black or tortoise shell nerd ones- i have silver already)

*a piece of artwork i really like

*smoothie maker

*espresso maker

*yoga pad/basically anything fitness related- so hard for me to be pumped to buy this stuff

*cable, haha

*subscription to something totally cheesey- like Us weekly or whatever

*cute overly priced pillows from somewhere like anthropologie, for example

*studs or basic jewelry

*cute carry ons/luggage- i like the floto ones posted a while back

*riding boots

*real pashminas

*thick boot socks

*new paints/jewelry materials/insert material for hobby of choice

*wine glasses or whatever random kitchen item you're missing

*something you don't need yet- like a few pairs of havaianas flip flops or really cute tank tops for spring, haha- a gift to appreciate later

*pretty hooks for your wall.
