A few weeks ago, Becky did a post on her Christmas wish list. I thought it was the cutest thing ever so I'm following her lead.
I'm 37 and my Mom still asks me for a Christmas list each year. It's strange how your parents still see you as a little girl no matter how old you are, but I'm also grateful for that. I mean who else is gonna love me THAT much? And if I had kids, I probably would be long forgotten about so I'll gladly accept all the attention. When I was little, I could always tell my Mom a zillion things off the cuff that I wanted. Now when I want something I just go get it. Funny what having a job and pretending to be grown up does for you. 😉 Of course my #1 wish would be to be a new foot and fully recovered from this injury, but that is in someone else's hands I guess. So here you go Mom...
Against All Grain Cookbook
Since I started following a more Paleo meal plan a few months ago and feeling great with all the nutrients I'm getting, I'm motivated to explore more recipes. I've thumbed through this cookbook more than 5 times at the market for inspiration. I'm pretty sure I need it.
TYR Pink Big Mesh Mummy Gear Bag
Although I have a gorgeous Apera gym bag which I get thousands of compliments on, swimming has become a big part of my fitness routine and I could use something to store my wet swim gear separately from everything else.
Sur La Table® Vegetable and Fruit Spiral Slicer
I've been dying to get one of these little gadgets. I'm just imagining all the things I could make.
Cole Haan Avery en Pointe Ballet Sugar Plum Flat Size 8.5
Cole Haan makes the most comfortable and supportive shoes. I get mine at Nordstrom Rack at a huge discount or the outlet by my house. These ballet flats I absolutely love with the pretty laces in the back.
Williams Sonoma Garden Cart
I've been wanting to get one of these carts for my courtyard to grow herbs. I don't have a green thumb, but I'm sure I could handle herbs.
Athleta Stripe Mesh Hidden Agenda Tank
I have two of these and adore them. Gray is my favorite color and really hard to find in workout tops. Pretty sure a gray is a must have addition. XS please...
Massage Package
I used to think massage was just for pampering yourself, but it's so good for injuries and recovery. I still go to my therapist for sports massages. My legs and feet get cramped and stiff a lot. Massage has been a lifesaver.
Elliptigo
For the small price of $2500, you too can be a proud owner of an elliptigo. After being injured most of the year, I've been seriously considering getting one of these. The weather in Phoenix is perfect for it and it's less scary than a bike (for me anyway). I'm sure I would get a lot of weird looks riding around on this. I wanna know if anyone really owns these???
Audi A3 Sedan
Now this is what I call a real wish. My Dad tells me every year "I need a new truck" when I ask for gift ideas. Last year he finally got a new truck so I won't be hearing it again for awhile. Thank God! But it's payback time. Dad, I need a car! I mean it doesn't hurt to ask, right?
What's on your Christmas wish list? What's the most obnoxious thing you've ever asked for?

Bethany says
My Christmas list is to go home and see my family in PA again soon 🙂 I miss my little cousins!!
Megan says
Aww...that's so sweet! My Christmas present is seeing my parents. They always come out to AZ from WI.
Daisy @ Fit Wanderlust Runner says
I love Audi cars...that would be on my Xmas list too. But in reality I need clothes, not workout clothes but going out clothes. My closet consists of scrubs and workout clothes. So when I actually get dressed up I find myself struggling.
Megan says
Mine used to be that way too. I worked at a company that was very laid back. When I went to work somewhere else, I had to buy a bunch of new clothes.
Shelly says
I sooooo want that Vegetable and Fruit Spiral Slicer! That would definitely save me some time in the kitchen. I wouldn't mind the Audi either, but I think my chances are better with the cooking gadget. haha!
Megan says
Haha my chances of the Audi are slim too!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Get that spiralizer! One of my favorite gifts I got from Santa last year 😉
Megan says
I've been dying to get one.
Leslie @ Life Begins at 30? says
A planner and spiralizer were at the top of my list this year...you know how you can tell that I am old?!?! 🙂
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
Haha I love that you ended with a car! Since I have 3 kids my wish list for myself has dwindled, but it's usually stuff related to cookbooks, running gear, or just a good old amazon gift card so I can pick something out when the mood hits! Love those ballet flats!
Becky @ Olives n Wine says
I love that garden cart! It's so cute and reminds me of an English garden 🙂 I saw a lot of those Elliptigo's while I was living in Chicago. They look really hard to balance but that probably makes it good for your core!
Megan says
I never thought about having to balance but you're right I'm sure it must be tough.
Elsie @ Sharing Healthiness says
The cart is just so cute..I love herbs and I wouldn't mind growing my own. But lets take a moment to appreciate that ELLIPTIGO! I am not a bike girl but I will sure ride that vehicle!
I never tend to ask for things because I never want to seem like I am asking for too much or very expensive things. Whatever I end up getting is truly appreciated!
Megan says
Me either. I like giving them better.
Lauren @ The Bikini Experiment says
I love that cart! So cool. I really like the top too. Good luck getting the car. 🙂
Megan says
Yeah my chances are slim on the car!
Katie @ Daily Cup of Kate says
Oooh I could use a spiralizer and I always need a massage gift card 😉
Megan says
Everyone needs a gift massage! I don't anyone who wouldn't.
Jessie says
I've never even heard of a garden cart.. but I want one now! To be honest, I don't want anything for Christmas this year besides two healthy baby girls whenever they make their appearance. I'm just not someone that cares for gifts - even on Christmas day. Sure it's nice to have something small, but it's not needed for me.
Megan says
I coule go without too. I actually like giving them more.
