What's on Your Holiday Wish List?

With the Holidays fast approaching Barb and I have been thinking about Christmas and what to get each other. As of right now I have no idea what to get her. She already has a toaster…. Buying Christmas, birthday or really any kind of presents is stressful for me as it seems as though if we find something we want we don’t have the patience to wait for the appropriate holiday.

So as I ponder what to buy her for Christmas (I am open to suggestions) I thought I would list some of the most useful RV and non-RV related items we find we get the most use out of and would buy again. I have provided links to these items using our Amazon link and as always we appreciate it when you use our Amazon link on the right sidebar of our blog page when shopping and making purchases.

Our #1 item so far this year is our PizzaPizazz. Maybe it is because it is still so new to us or the fact that we have been so inept at using the oven in our rig without burning anything. So far, in addition to cooking pizzas we have prepared Tollhouse cookies and the ever famous tater tots!

#2 was our Carefree Awning Sunscreen we bought while in Quartzsite last year. We initially did not think we needed one but after buying Barb’s inversion table we decided we wanted a little more privacy in the front of our rig. It came with a bonus application that we did not even think about in addition to privacy and reducing sunlight, it also deflects the wind and makes it more comfortable to sit outside.

#3 Speaking of Inversion Tables, we bought Barb one last winter. Barb has a bad back and it helps relieve pain when she uses it on a regular basis. Not only that, it helps me relieve minor neck tension from time to time and have had multiple friends use it as well. 

#4 Dyson V6 Animal Stick – Our most recent purchase Barb has been wanting one for over a year. Our in-house system does a horrible job at picking up dog hair, it was amazing what the Dyson is picking up the other vacuum missed.

#5  Epicurean Cutting Board - This is by far the best cutting board we have ever owned.  These boards are durable, nonporous, knife friendly, and dishwasher safe.

#6 Solar Christmas Lights – Whenever we are somewhere for more than a couple of weeks we set up our solar lights. It not only creates a festive atmosphere, it helps us find our rig at night after happy hour at a neighboring rig!

#7 Stainless Bowls with Rubber Bottoms - I don't have a lot of input on this one but when I asked Barb to name a few things that she liked that she would purchase all over again these were one of the first things she mentioned.

#8 Cordless Drill Kit – Learning what tools are needed while on the road is challenging at first. I have tools that I bought in preparation of FT’ing that I have never used. I do however frequently use my cordless drill and the Driving Kit is a must have as it includes every bit I have needed so far.

#9 Yeti Tumbler/Can Coolers – We bought both the Yeti 20oz Rambler and the Colster. The 20oz Rambler keeps your drinks cold and your coffee hot and we get a lot of use out of them. The Colster not only fits 12 oz cans but it works for bottles as well. There are less expensive knock offs, not sure if they work as well but we are very happy with ours and would buy them again.

#10 Lasko Ceramic Heater – We don’t use it a lot as we are rarely plugged in but those times we are the Lasko comes out of the closet and keeps us warm and toasty while saving propane!

What's your favorite RV or non-RV related purchase for the year? It might give me an idea for Barb's Christmas gift and if you are ordering from Amazon and make your purchase before December 23rd, you might have one of our RV friends pick your order!  

By the way Barb..... if you are reading this (I really don't think she does) my wish list includes a wireless speaker for the TV that I can put behind the recliner so I can hear what is going on without having the volume maxed out...
