The holiday season is, first and foremost, a time for giving. But, it’s also the time of year to get a little greedy: We caught up with some of our favorite psychoPEDIA contributors past to see what was topping their wish lists this year. In their own words:

Matthew Cerletty ,Artist:
Anything designed by Ettore Sottsass. Ideally, the Carlton bookcase he made with Memphis, a postmodern design group he founded in 1980. Though, I don't think you could have any other furniture in the room with that thing, so maybe I'd go with the Olivetti Valentine typerwriter-- David Bowie used one to type lyrics in the ‘70s, so, obviously it's inspiring.

Angela McCluskey, Musician:
At the top of my holiday wish list, let me see: the sound of the ocean, the sand in my shoes and the smile on my face when my husband remembers to get me those vintage YSL sunglasses to ward off the rays whilst lying on the beach in Jamaica, thinking how much I love it when it snows.

Koi Suwannagate, Fashion Designer, Koi:
1. On top of my Holiday wish list is Peter Beard's incredibly beautiful and limited-edition book, Collector's Edition, 965 Elephants. It's a true piece of art.
2. Also on top of my wish list is a Leica D-LUX 4 Digital Camera. Great lens and a perfect camera for taking pics in low light.

Judi Hoffman, Psychic:
1. TOP OF THE LIST: Perfect health and wealth and happiness...that about sums it up for ALL of us, right?
2. Being voted/considered/recognized as the world's most accurate psychic so I can help others and help myself as much as humanly/superhumanly possible.
3. Attracting and keeping even more new, true-blue, dear, FOR REAL, seriously close friendships in the bleak world that can be New York City's social life.

Christiane Hultquist, Fashion Designer, Christian Joy:
1. A horse sweater
2. Snow
3. Some elves to work for me when I'm asleep.

Comenius Roethlisberger, Artist:
1. My personal wish is that I can surf the wave, which I am on top of for a long, long time.
2. I wish that the financial crisis would hit the art market really hard, so we will see who survives, and why we survive. There is better art with the crisis. I love it.

Anna Sheffield, Jewelry Designer:
This year, I can't think of anything I want more than to pare down on the extraneous and focus on inventive gifting. I gave my mom and dad a gift certificate from Seedsavers--it's a seed purveyor for farmers (and urban gardeners) specializing in heirloom variety edibles. No doubt this is a gift given with my own selfish motives - we all love those luscious, misshapen heirloom tomatoes fresh off the vine! Highest on my personal list is a Cloak from Lindsey Thornburg-- the one made from a vintage Pendleton blanket will stave off the January chill. Beyond that, something a bit cultural and lasting like a MOMA membership or tickets to see Beirut at BAM in February would rule.

Joseph Quartana, Owner Seven New York:
1. All the damage of the Bush administration to be undone by Obama. 2. Someone to issue Bush an official incompetence award. 3. A stronger dollar.

Shuan McNatt, Model:
I really wish that in hard economic times we all remember what is important to us and that a new car or TV is not. I also wish that we remember to help those less fortunate and be kind to one another. On a more personal note I wish I could get a vacation or at least a few days off.

Rogan Gregory, Fashion Designer, Rogan and Loomstate:
Neuticles for my dog Chancho. Obama to recognize and nurture a new consciousness. Offshore winds and 6 foot faces. No flight delays.

Ethan Imboden, Founder Jimmy Jane:
This holiday, I'm hoping to get a fresh start for 2009 with a little help from my friends. Here's my 5-step plan–
1. Clear off my desk AND enjoy the companionship of a furry friend with a new paper shredder
2. Clean up my act with Matthew and Andrew's creations for Malin + Goetz
3. Keep my trim figure by inhaling (rather than consuming) my daily chocolate fix with Jimmyjane's own Cocoa + Fig EMBER Massage Candles
4. Look sharp in absolutely anything from Al and Taka at Number (N)ine
5. Accessorize liberally with gilt-y pleasures from Jules Kim of Bijules
Of course, if Santa's little helpers aren't reading psychoPEDIA, I'll just take matters into my own hands with this inconspicuous tote from fellow provocateur Philip Wood of CITIZEN-Citizen.
