Christmas

I've bought for everyone but they're asking me for a list of what I'd like. I can't think of ANYTHING

Mum, sis and Dh don't like to buy vouchers as a gift.

I read a lot but prefer ebooks.

I listen to lots of music but prefer downloading.

I recently gave away 6 bin liners full of clothes and I still have too many.

I have loads of shoes and handbags.

I have all the hair and make up stuff I could possibly want.

I'm really stumped but I know I'll feel fed up on the day if I don't get anything! Please help

I've added a uv lamp and various gelish polishes to my Amazon wish list. Watch one of them but me the polish and not the lamp Grin

A Spicery subscription is an awesome present - having been on the receiving end of a couple.

Why are people so stubborn Confused - they want to buy you a gift but don't want to buy something you would actually like or use - a voucher.

Ask for something from M & S, with the receipt, take it back and use the money to get something you want.

Or suggest no gifts for adults next year.

But if you want vouchers then surely that's what they should buy you!
