because I haven't got any clue. Literally no ideas at all.....and people are going to ask me what I'd like, and I'm just going to sound like an idiot saying, "I don't really want/need anything" just like I do every year.

So please tell me what you want so I can pass it off as my own opinion....

I’ve asked for slippers and chocolates as I couldn’t think of anything else! Not much help I’m afraid, there’s nothing I need.

The M&S beauty advent calendar.
(I bought a dress for work so I was able to buy it for myself Smile )

I need slipper boots, you know the ones that are furry inside and just slip on so handily.

Also want perfume and good smelly candles for the house.

Also a particular frying pan😬

And I'd be happy with a voucher for a spa day.

I'd love high quality fleece pj's - I'm due a baby just after Christmas and love new pjs to wear after baby.

Any artwork, beautiful house stuff, etc. Goes down well with me.

I want really nice comfy pyjamas.
The bad girls complete box set Blush

Any of those would be fine with me, although the pyjamas is what I want most.

I always want money to go to Tolkien's birthday supper.

Caroelle · 24/11/2017 13:58

Charity gifts. If you don’t want it, and don’t need it, channel the money to someone who would benefit.

Nikephorus · 24/11/2017 13:59

I couldn't pretend to like any of those ideas! I've bought myself a load of books, some Thorntons bags of chocs, some Lego (!) and a couple of dvds. I think I spoiled myself Grin But then I don't get presents from anyone else (which is fine by me)

gingerclementine · 24/11/2017 14:00

I want:

A spiralizer
Cashmere socks or gloves
A new leather purse
Hiking socks
loads of books
Origins Ginger bubble bath
Flowers or plants of any sort

I'd also love a slice of that squidy wedge shaped overpriced nougat but I'm supposed to be trying to lose weight so it's not on my list.

If I got any of those from anyone I'd be very pleased.

Pandoraslastchance · 24/11/2017 14:04

Slippers but other than that I've got no ideas. I'm just difficult to buy for.

whoareyoukidding · 24/11/2017 14:04

There's a really nice leather jacket in LKBennett right n0w - black with a furry collar, and they have 25% off right now. Even with the discount it's a lot of money though :(

MoistCantaloupe · 24/11/2017 14:05

I never know what I want so I ask for things I regularly use i.e. Makeup, bath things, or a voucher!

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 24/11/2017 14:05

Amazon Echo & Gin

SewButtons · 24/11/2017 14:06

I want nice coffee mugs and a stovetop espresso maker. I'd have bought the espresso maker myself except I can't decide on what colour I want.

BarbarianMum · 24/11/2017 14:08

Slippers and books hete. And a raised bed for the allotment (that's my big present).

Nice bottle of gin, comedy gig tickets, everyday earrings, mag subscription, CDs, money to go on my Kindle for books

storkdelivery · 24/11/2017 14:10

I always have a list! I finally persuaded DH that we should do stockings and buy each other a few bits from a list, it was really good last year - a mix of fun surprises and things I really wanted!

On my list:
A new kindle.
Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt.
Chocolates.
A necklace from Muru.
A new purse.
A good book or two to read over the holiday period.
