I know I'll be getting a Longines Dolce Vita mini (black face - for casual wear). And a Tahitian pearl with diamond in white gold pendant.
Not that I'm particular or anything.
As for giving, I got my sister a 4ct Asscher cut green tourmaline ring in a simple white gold bezel setting. The bezel's very fine and it's a really cool effect. I thought it'd make a pretty cocktail ring. I hope she likes it! She's the only person I buy for who's into jewellery, so that's it for my bauble giving this Christmas.

Santa hasn't told me yet what he is going to bring me...
But I commissioned an artist to make a pair of earrings for my mother. They are rose gold, with a 10x6 mm australian black opal dangling from a half carat ruby.
The rubies were her push-gift from my father back when I was born, so really the present is getting them reset.
My bf of 9 years bought me a 1.88-carat-heart-shape diamond 2 years ago. He gave me green light to have it set into my e-ring last month. I've been waiting for 3 weeks now and it's not yet finished. I think it's considered as a holiday gift for this year, which is great!
DH and I are going to Hawaii in early January so I'm hoping to score something, maybe even visit a Tiffany's there!
Nothing big, but I asked for a 14k 16gauge 3/8 inch captive bead ring for my ear cartilage piercing.
I got a "bundled" gift a few months ago: a 1920s ring with little OECs in platinum. It was my combination birthday-anniversary-Christmas gift! (had to position it that way in order to get my DH to buy it! hehe)
Both!
I am giving these Viv and Ingrid Pearl Wrap hoops to my mom: http://www.vivandingrid.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1137&idcategory=10
and I am hoping for these Sarah Perlis diamond studs, I'm hoping they will be nice and dainty, something I can wear every day:

I'm also hoping for a Helen Ficalora initial charm!

I love the 2 tone look and I tried them on in the boutique today & love the length. They're a good weight but not too heavy in the ear. I may wind up just getting them myself... too impatient to wait for xmas.. or my bday which is just a month later! lol
ETA: I have a pair of Freshadama earrings that I planned on sending to my grandmother, but just realized i have no idea if she's got pierced ears. I gotta go ask my mom!

aw, I LOVE that a lot of people GIVE the gift of bling!
I usually pick all mine out and haven't picked or made specific requests so I'm not expecting anything. Plus I went OTT this summer and ordered 4 stackables when he told me to choose 2 or 3 :shame:
