My Iona Journal |
10. Jawbone JAMBOX This tiny powerful speaker allows you to connect via bluetooth to any other bluetooth enabled device (laptop, computer, iPhone, iPad etc) and play your favourite podcasts or listen to any audio with much better quality sound. I have one and I love it.
11. A beautiful journal for writing your own memoirs. I love Iona Handcrafted Books and have asked my hubby to buy me another one this Christmas as I'm on my last one. Tip: If the checkout won't accept a non-USA order, just email or phone as they do accept international orders.
12. A Shutterfly gift certificate I love Shutterfly for creating family photo books or calendars. It's also great for simply getting copies of your family photos so you can share them with family members
13. And in blatant self-promotion, how about asking for one of the genealogy and history books I have written and published?
And there you have it - my Baker's Dozen Genealogy Wish List for this Christmas.

I love all these things! A couple of them I have, but these are some great ideas! Merry Christmas!
Ditto, ditto, ditto.... Love them all! So I've put them on my Christmas List to my kids... But since they're all adults with little kids, I suspect the grandchildren and their wants/needs top mine. Sigh. Merry Christmas, indeed!
Celia, I hear ya!
The only hope I have of getting a few of my wish list items is my husband. But I gave up yeterday and ordered 2 more of my favourite Iona handcrafted journals.
Yes I bought my own Christmas gift!
Last year I told him I wanted Jambox and he thought I meant an old-fashioned box to keep jam in! So I gave him the link to the website and he ordered me one :-)
