so you're a twentysomething....

[ItsaTenfromDen]

what are you wanting for Christmas?

I have two dd in their twenties, I am struggling to think of what to get. I have asked, but they aren't much use. :)

I've done their stockings, and the usual PJs, hair stuff etc but could do with some ideas

Thanks

[Zombiemama]

I'm edging my way out of my 20s but on my list is a new bottle of perfume river island purse or bag (or both!) A nice chunky warm scarf and the usual pyjamas fleecy socks slippers.

I always like getting a nice diary and pen, a dressy watch, would any of them like one of the new hair straightening brushes as opposed to straighteners. ?

[ButtonMoon88]

I'm 27 but I have a very boring calm life so these may not suit your DCs...

Perfume
Make up and make up bag
Vouchers for favourite shop?

Are they interested in getting themselves pampered? I had a pedicure and manicure last Christmas and loved it!

I quite like getting things to do, Harry Potter Tour, champagne lunch, couple of spa treatments...

[ItsaTenfromDen]

Thanks for the ideas

Perfume I've asked which they like as I find it hard to chose for someone else

Make up is in their stocking

Scarf, pjs, socks, I've already got

No idea what this straightening brush is, but I'll definitely be looking at that for myself

I am going to browse Groupon to see if there is anything suitable on there

Thanks again

I'm just 30 but I think my likes, being a mum to three, might vary if they have a different lifestyle? I love bath stuff, make up I can't afford to buy myself (benefit), perfume, books, cookery stuff and days out type pressies would be amazing ( my mum bought me a holiday for my last gift!). HTH

[swooosh]

I'm 27. I like/asked for:

personal training sessions
makeup - Benefit gift set from Boots
clothes - I'd like a bomber jacket and new gym clothes
Victoria's Secret knickers (usually on some kind of deal)
Bath stuff - I like Philosophy best but also love Lush gift sets. The Snow Fairy range is very popular and I love the butter bear bath bombs
Trainers - Converse, Adidas ZX Flux
Kitchen stuff - I need a new blender so a Nutribullet or decent equivalent and a waffle iron

Vouchers and money also greatly appreciated

[Freezingwinter]

I'm 27. I'd like some new under wear from Primark, I always like nail varnish and makeup, body butter from the body shop, diffusers and candles for my house, a pedicure booked and paid for, I always like clothes too, nothing fancy just jumpers and cardigans from places like h and m. Hope that helps!

[chelsbells]

I'm 25 and I've asked for a new watch from DH, some earrings, perfume, couple of DVDs and some Yankee candle melts and a burner for them! Then DM is getting me some new boots.

What about a spa day for the three of you? Groupon always have ones on offer!

[UmbongoUnchained]

I'm 22 and I've just asked for cash!

That's all the generic stuff on my list!

I would not like a 'straightening brush', because my hair looks like unruly pubes unless I kill it with hellfire powered straightening irons.

Posh bath stuff
Nice pj's

[JacobFryesTopHatLackey]

I'm 26 and have two Dses under 4. But I'm of the more geeky persuasion

I'd like
Star wars battlefront for ps4
Harley Quinn Converse
The next issue of Ms Marvel
The anniversary reissue of Sandman
Some nice artwork from posteritty
Lush bathbombs (I'm a fan of butterball too but my absolute favourite was flying fox)
Some fleecy socks and new pyjamas (I saw some Harry Potter ones in primark)
Tickets to see my favourite comedian
A new netbook

The last two are if someone feels really generous

[LucyMouse]

I'm 25 and I have asked for a Boots No7 light up mirror, slippers, PJs, make up, a new purse, something from Cath Kidson, wellies, make up and books. Also cash for when this baby makes an appearance and I can wear normal clothes again :)

[toddlerwrangling]

Have a look at somewhere like the Oliver Bonas website, Cox and Cox or Not on the High Street for small gifts, jewellery and homewares - I loved things like that as a twentysomething! (wouldn't mind them now tbh but I have a house full of toddler toys so wouldn't fit anything more in.... )

In my twenties I liked pretty earrings; trinkets like candleholders and jewellery boxes (the clear acrylic ones from Muji are great and not too expensive); cosmetics bags; books; music (Amazon or iTunes vouchers); nice homewares like espresso cups and martini glasses; things to make interesting cocktails; clothes...

Nowadays I just want a voucher for a massage and some sleep

[MummySparkle]

I'm 25. My Christmas list consists of:

A set of oil paints
Paintbrushes
Wellies (muck boots)
Cath kidston penguin pjs
A necklace
And some normal, everyday socks

I would also appreciate anything from catch kidston, fat face vouchers and a massage and maybe some more books to read.

I'm not particularly exciting!

Have a look at the festive edition Tarte marajuca oil on QVC :)

[MARGUERITE18]

oo and candles, birchbox subscriptions, chocolate and pjs

[99percentchocolate]

28 - nice candles, something to "do" eg trip somewhere, afternoon tea, etc. Bag, perfume.
I think I may be getting old because top of my wish list this year is original art work by my favourite artist.

[recklessgran]

Five DD's all in their 20's and early 30's. I do them each a stocking with some expensive things like perfume, Benefit/Mac make-up,a cineworld gift box and cheaper bits like candles, socks from accessorize,a new mug,chocolate spoon from Whittards,their favourite sweets etc.They love it and it is easier for me than trying to think of a "big" present! I tailor the stockings to their personalities-one very girly,one sporty,one geeky,one arty and one hippy type. I have a lot of fun with it.
DH gives them cash and they like that too.

[123Jump]

Voucher for their beauticians.
