Sears, Roebuck and Co, a wholly owned subsidiary of home appliance retailer Sears Holdings Corporation announced that when did you stop wishing for a pony? When do start viewing the holiday season as stressful instead of magical?
The recent "Wish Big" survey from Sears revealed that while Americans used to wish for snow on Christmas morning (20 percent) and to wake up to a room full of toys (23 percent), now hope for a no-stress holiday season (32 percent) or weight loss (13 percent).
This year, take time to sit down and create a personal holiday wish list -- one that includes ideas of what you "need" and what you really "want." Stumped? According to the survey, some of the more popular holiday wishes, include:
Women are more likely to long for big vacations, new wardrobes and jewelry. Gift ideas include: * Red Lands' End Lighthouse luggage and new pair of sunglasses * Covington cashmere sweater * 1/4 cttw diamond hoop earrings; sapphire, ruby or emerald bangle bracelet
Those who are married desire to wake up to a kitchen full of new kitchen appliances, cabinets and countertops (a kitchen remodel). Gift ideas include: * Kenmore Elite Trio bottom freezer refrigerator * Kenmore Elite 41-bottle wine cellar
Men tend to hope for a big screen/plasma screen TV and a new car. Gift ideas include: * Sony 50 inch projection HDTV; Hitachi 42 inch Plasma HDTV * Create a car kit with items suchas "new car" scented air
