What do you really want?

[Mallowmarshmallow]

I've had a pretty rubbish year with my husband merrily running up a load of debt without me knowing.

In the depth of it all (with two small children in the mix too), I've certainly lost a bit of myself.

I know that people will soon start asking what I want and I have no idea who I even am but would really like to be able to ask for really selfish, just for me presents.

So, after that long ramble, what do you really want for Christmas?

[OhHolyFuck]

Coconut vodka
Nice pjs
Bee necklace
Gastric band

I'm a sp though so will buy any presents for myself

[SideOrderofChip]

I would love the usual. Lush stuff. Perfume. A jumper a horse

[HunterHearstHelmsley]

Money.

All Of The Money.

[LockedOutOfMN]

Spa vouchers and massage vouchers. Tickets for nice days out to the theatre or things like that.

[Whatsername17]

All I really want is 37 week bump followed by a healthy baby delivered in January. Last Christmas we discovered I'd had a mmc. I want Christmas back. Other than that I'd like a new kindle.
Selfish 'just for me' presents....any brand of make up/bubble bath/ body lotion/ clothes that you'd never buy yourself. Mil.always gets me Moulton brown because she knows I love it but wouldn't buy it myself.

To be living in a new home that I can host my family for Christmas in. My sibs both live in Australia, my DF is currently going through chemo and I haven't seen my family much this year. I miss them. I'd love them to be with us for Christmas- and with a bit of luck our flat will sell soon and we can move and start working on these goals.

[NatalieRushman]

100 million pounds
A chestnut akhal teke
A nose job

Realistically?
Money. Probably quite a lot less than 100 million pounds. And some makeup. Maybe a new laptop?

[Awoof]

Naked pallette
Mac primer
Narciso Rodriguez eau De parfum
White teeth
A proper tea out at a 5 star patisserie
A stay in a posh hotel with robes and little chocolates on my pillow with a friend/nice chap!
A very soft jumper
Looks a bit silly written down!

[Methenyouplus4]

World peace... seriously though, if you're looking for something for yourself I'd either go for a luxury item I wouldn't buy myself e.g. posh candle/ cashmere jumper, some thing I know I'd enjoy e.g. certain books/magazine subscription, gardening tools or (if budget a bit bigger) an 'experience type gift (for me it would be a massage/meal or some sort of crafty course e.g. stained glass making,

[Wellywife]

A holiday!

[wobblywonderwoman]

I would really like a nice TV for my bedroom but I know that could be a bad habit

[weeblueberry]

Sorry to hear about your crappy year Mallow. I know the stress debt brings.

In an ideal world I'd like:
Lush stuff
Pretty notebooks
Pretty pens
Nice gin
A day alone with money for a book and a sushi lunch

I'd be so happy.

[Nanasueathome]

Gin and surprises

[ThisUsernameIsAvailable]

A beautiful bike, I have a vintage releigh in the shed that I can't get parts for anymore and my runaround hybrid that I use for exercise but this is like my vintage but modern, if that makes sense, it's a ladies bike with a basket and panniers for doing my shopping .

I know I'm getting it because I've put the deposit down myself

[GinIsForWinners]

Fluffy pj's, slippers and a new dressing gown
Yankee candles or a scentsy warmer thing
Cosy socks
Chocolate

[Whataboutwhathuh]

I've just become a stay at home mum leaving behind a full time career. I have two small children.

I want massage vouchers, treatment vouchers, nice things just for me. A beautiful thing from Toast or Hush.

[DownstairsMixUp]

Some nice gin or vodka
A electric toothbrush
A parlux hairdryer
Any MAC goodies
PJs, can never get enough of them!

[teaandcake789]

If I was being selfish:
Lush stuff
New iPhone

Sisley skincare
Chanel perfume
The white company cashmere robe

I generally receive vouchers from family.

[Star2015]

Next Christmas PJ's
Lush bath bombs
Bayliss and Harding bath/shower products
Socks - nice ones not Primark
White stuff gift voucher
Paperchase diary/stationary
A new Yankee candle
Catch Kidston bag
Magazine subscription for Prima, Essentials or Woman and Home
Some new books

That's about it.. Although probably a long enoug list!

Hope you have a good Christmas OP.

[HandbagCrazy]

I like gifts that either keep giving or that I can look forward to, and always look for things I wouldn't buy myself so they feel like a treat.

Tickets (for a show / theatre / gig)
Magazine subscription
Spa day / treatments

FIL always buys my a selection of lush bath bombs because I love them but they don't do just them in a set.

What would make you feel better OP? New clothes? Makeup? A chance to get away for a day? Rather than try and work out who you are, concentrating on what would take a bit of stress off your shoulders (this is why I always ask my mum for make up or beauty products - it makes me feel better to have a tidy face but it's too expensive for me to treat myself with).

more than anything I want my fertility problems to go away and to be announcing a pregnancy at Christmas
