What would you like for Christmas?

I have seen a lovely scarf on a recent trip to Edinburgh. I don’t normally care much for presents but I have requested this from dh. It’s a bit more than I would spend but we’re sensible with money and I would treasure it.

We don’t normally do a tonne of gifts at Christmas as I honestly prefer to spend the money on nice food. But I would be thrilled with the scarf and maybe a bottle of perfume.

What would you like?

My cat broke a bowl that late grandmother made and I properly cried. My lovely husband is going to get a Kintsugi repair done for me ❤️

That's lovely.

My MIL made me a beautiful sculpture of an elephant (my favourite animal) years ago. I love it. It sits on a window sill amongst a wee jungle of plants. It was broken by our dog and my husband did a kintsugi repair on it and now I love it even more.

Op, don't forget there is a very " cheery" happy Xmas board under fun stuff.

As this is obviously a light.hearted thread I will try and keep it light and say, some reflexology /massages and a new cross body bag.

Fancy Face creams

I read this as “fanny face creams” 🥲

NinaGeiger · 11/10/2025 19:45

I'd quite like a shredder

caringcarer · 11/10/2025 19:45

For DH and eldest DS to stop quarreling and put their differences behind them.

My health back. I have cancer and want for nothing other than to be free of the bastard disease.

Sorry, cancer is a bitch.

For my dog to not have terminal cancer.

I’m after a cryo mask, some new beige Ugg slippers, there’s some artwork I have my eye on and some new additions to my penguin clothbound collection. I will not get all this 😂

ConnieHeart · 11/10/2025 19:33

Well my OH & his DSis have recently got back in touch after not speaking for 10 years, so I'd love for us all to spend Xmas together but she has loads of other people to host so I'd settle for boxing day (though I do feel.we should be priority 🤣)

Failing that, or in addition, I'd like absolutely no arguments plus lots of lovely food & gallons of alcohol 😊. I'm really not bothered about presents for me

NavyNorris · 11/10/2025 19:31

Elemis collagen cream as I've not had any for ages. And the lime and ginger body scrub.

One of those IPL hair remover laser thingys (I'm tired, can't remember the name).

Hand cream. Something with tuber rose.

DappledThings · 11/10/2025 19:31

To continue not doing adult presents because it's utterly tedious and painfully cringey. I should get close to this.

Depends if PIL are going to insist on getting me something or if it's one of the years I can convince them whatever DH wants is in fact my dream joint gift and get out of it. Worked with the air fryer, they weren't buying it with the electric hedge clippers unfortunately.

Littlemrsconfetti · 11/10/2025 19:28

A pair of small huggie earrings for daily wear.

OnceIn · 11/10/2025 19:27

I’d like the l’occtaine almond body mist

The complete annihilation of middle lane hoggers.

And Xmas threads on the Xmas board. (Especially before Halloween.)
