Do you make wish lists for birthdays and holidays? In our family, it’s a BIG deal and the lists got progressively more elaborate throughout the years. It started out as paper list when we were kids – I’m pretty sure these started as Santa lists. It may have also been to prevent presents like the Barbie Doll I got as an early teenager from a grandparent.
When I was in college, I used to create lists on word documents with pictures, links buy online, size, color, price. It took a lot of time, but I always got things that I liked!
These days, I’m finding I build wish lists throughout the year on Pinterest. One list I started recently as a FitFluential Ambassador is #FFTech Products I want! It’s a list of more techy products that I think would make my life just a little easier.
From the big ticket items like a treadmill… (which would be great for our new basement and the snowy/icy days where staying indoors sounds good):

…and “rocking” Kinetic Bike Trainers which would be perfect for training rides for Ironman Cairns 2013.

To more moderate items like Yurbuds, which I hear might actually stay put in your ears on a long run…

…and fitness blogger favorites (that I still haven’t tried) like Fitbit…

The great thing about online wish lists like this that I add to all year long, is when I start thinking about my birthday next month, making that list sounds much easier!
I think making lists can be almost as fun as getting things….okay, maybe not. ;)

I am loving the kinetic bike trainer. Looks like such an amazing training tool. What is you name on Pinterest?

I have a FitBit… I like it, but honestly the calorie count is totally inaccurate so it’s basically a pedometer to me. That aspect is really motivating though – it has kept me conscious of getting more activity on days I’m behind a desk all day.

You need to add a new 8×10 of your parents to your wish list.
Sometimes I think I want a treadmill, but then when I think about it, I realize I probably wouldn’t use it if I had one in my home (aka: my comfort zone). I guess I’ll just keep driving to the gym. :)

I love this and do it too! My board is just a general, Things I Want/ Wish List, but am sure as it grows I may break it down into categories. That is the 3rd time i’ve heard of yurbuds recently, might have to try them out too once I am able to get moving again (going to be quite a while now that i’m on bedrest, booo!).

good choice on the treadmill – I have that one! (well, a couple years older, but it’s awesome!). that bike trainer looks very cool!
Jason and I each have lists for each other… that we are always adding to, whenever we hear the other talk about something or see something in a store. makes it so easy for birthdays, or if I just want to surprise him with something just because.

My sisters and I love making lists for our secret santa exchange. I love those yurbuds. I’ve had them for almost a year and still love them. Nothing else works for me.

I like the way you think for gift lists! Treadmill? Yes please. And that trainer? Wow. Definitely checking that bad boy out.

I grew up with wish lists too. And requests (demands, really) for the tooth fairy! I have a #FFTech Pinterest list too, as I’d be very excited to receive some of those items. When the holidays come around, I’m just going to forward the link to my board!
