DH asked me the other night and I actually have no idea this year. I'm thinking of asking for a shopping spree as I've lost a lot of weight but I don't want to do it all in a day.

What do you want so I can steal ideas!

Perfume
A nice pair of earrings(studs I can wear to work)
A new handbag (after 3 years of using one changing bag or practical rucksack after another my youngest is finally big enough that I don’t have to take half the house with me when we go out)
I always like a book
A nice scented candle
Some cosy cashmere socks
Basically all the luxuries that I can’t really justify buying myself right now - if I get any of the above I’ll be happy.

I'd like some new pyjamas, the shower gel to match my perfume, a new throw and a couple of books.

Something to take pictures underwater with.

Something even I can learn to use.

For a shopping spree, do you have a John Lewis nearby? They do amazing personal shopper and fitted me with a whole new wardrobe and lots of tips to add on after I lost 3 stones.

You could get some basics and then buy more.

I am absolutely lost this year. It feels like I have everything and don't fancy buying something for the sake of it. I still haven't used my overnight spa voucher from last Christmas as fate threw several stones into our way this year preventing me from any longish term planning.

And it doesn't help that my birthday is beginning of December as well.

Argh!

I always put Origins ginger essence perfume on my list, and anything from the L'Occitane verbena range. Apart from that, slippers, Belgian chocolates, silver earrings, Amazon or Netflix gift cards, and I stop buying books after about September so I have some ideas I can give to anyone who asks Grin

A nice simple silver bangle
Scented candles
Some lovely smelly shower stuff
Audible gift card
A new Kindle (I'm still on the first gen one I had in 2010)
An iPad

I will get none of these things. Sigh.

I want a curling tong, the one that gives you big bouncy waves. My hair is finally long enough to use them.
And heels. Any colour, any design, I love shoes Grin

Nothing. Anything that I want I just buy.

I don't get the gifting stuff for adults.
