What do I want for Christmas?

[Calvinsmam]

I can’t think what to ask for for Christmas.
I have a budget of £50 and am stumped.

I tend to just buy things that I want throughout the year.
I like nice body lotion but I usually wait for the sales, I resent spending the full price for them. I like cosy things but don’t want to replace my pjs or anything as I have some I got last year and it seems a waste to buy more when there’s nothing wrong with my old pairs.

I’ve bought everyone else’s presents, the awkward one is me!

What’s everyone else getting? Inspire me.

I'm getting a watch because DH smashed mine when changing the battery. He is a watchmaker

Skechers keepsakes

My life changed

I’m getting things to do with my hobby. In true MN style I will not reveal what my hobby is...

What’s a sketchers keepsake??? Sounds great!

How did your dh break your watch???

Like ugg boots but Skechers

So bloody comfy and warm!

Oh g'wan! Don't be a spoilsport Mercedes!

Thanks mercedes, my hobby is my job so if I want anything I buy it through my business, I also won’t reveal what it is

Oooh I’m going to google them, but I did just buy myself some boots and I’m hoping they’ll last me years.

I get something to eat, something to drink, something to wear and something to read.

Last year I got gin, Turkish delight, Alan Bennet's diaries and a beautiful old lapis lazuli necklace.

Buy the right Skechers you’ll be wearing them forever and eeever and .. u get the point 🤣

A lovely expensive mug

Dept store voucher to spend in the January sales

That’s a good idea alec

I’m thinking if things I like to do on Christmas and I like lounging around and playing games with the family,
Does anyone know any good family board games this year?

I’m a hooker...

Hi Mercedes, I'm a tighthead 😉

That’s your hobby? Gosh.

I'm a flanker😉

Ha! Not rugby

My list is:
crafting/organising:
-laminator
-paper trimmer
-cutting kit for sewers/quilters
-friction and heat erasable pen
-small printer

Other:
-sheepskin/wool boots or slippers (not uggs, so cheaper)
-wicker baskets
-small digital notepad
-anything with a dachshund on it

@Mercedes519 the kind who works with wool or the kind who works with men?

How did your dh break your watch???

He took it to the press at work, put the anti-shock protection down, then put in in the press to push the back plate back in. Except the glass shattered. He says... At home he tried thumping it with a beer bottle and when that didn't work he got DD to sit on it...so I'm not entirely convinced he didn't try with a hammer

Board games for what age?

well that’s definitely one way to break a watch!

One you can play with the family.

Magazine subscription?

I think I’m going to ask for vouchers so I can buy things in the sales.

I have asked for a walk with Alpacas and with this something Alpaca wool related - hat I hope.
