What's on Your Holiday Wish List?

I know, I know, this is the season to think about others, and I fully intend to do that, but it's still fun to daydream a bit about what we'd love to get this season, right?

We took a quick poll on TotalBeauty.com asking readers what they were wishing for this holiday season: Fragrance topped the list, and bath and body products tied with services (like manicures or massages) for second place. So, what's on your wish list this year? Share it here!

Personally, I would love a gift certificate for a massage or facial (hint, hint to any of my friends or family reading this). Any of these goodies would be pretty sweet too …

OK, enough dreaming of the perfect holiday, it's time I got started on my gift list. Step 1: Figuring out what to get those hard-to-buy-for people with this quiz. Do you have some troublemakers on your list too? Then check it out, you just answer a few questions about them and it spits out near-perfect gift suggestions. Way easier than trolling the mall for hours.

Now on to step 2: The actual shopping trip. Any one have tips to make this ordeal a bit easier? Please share them below!

    My holiday wish list is (as usual) pretty long :), but my number one dream present is a Tag Heuer watch and a little birdie told me that I'm getting it for sure. So, I'm really excited about the holidays...

    Of course, I assumed you were asking about the things we could buy with money- otherwise, health- for me and all the people I love (and the whole world, indeed) is, by all means, my most important wish.

    i really, really, really want a mascara that actually lengths and thickens but doesn't look clumpy - and doesn't cost a fortune (read that less than $12) and is NOT waterproof. i've already tried all the major brands and nothing i've tried so far works. :(

    I wish that both of my children find jobs. They're college graduates with degrees in film production, and psychology.

    A really cute cardigan for Modcloth, perfume (I'm nearly out of my favorite), and a graphic tee. None of it's very expensive, but for a college kid, they aren't really in budget.

    Susan B-try LashBlast, really great! Also, Voluminous is great. I have long lashes that are thin, so the thickening is what I'm looking for. Plus, I wait until my local drugstore is doing a buy one-get one free (or second 1/2 off) and then I stock up.

    I want a new carpet shampooer and new pots and pans, and thigh high boots. I also love Halle Berry parfume. And I love platinum jewelry. David Yurmen is my favorite. In any event due to our budget crisis, I will shop for our kids and the adults in our family decided to pull on name from a hat and we can only shop for that person. Pretty easy...
