All I can think of is some nice bath oil. Obviously a book. Perhaps a new bath robe.

What do you what for Christmas?

Fluffy socks, without glitter as that just Irritates my feet.

Already bought my new book today, Christmas Shopaholic, that's to go in my stocking.

Drogosnextwife · 20/10/2019 20:35

A tumble dryer. Now my dp would never consider buying my electrical appliances for Christmas or birthdays as they are not presents for me! But I can't think of anything else and I just want to be able to get towels and bedding dried quickly!

A lamp from John Lewis, hotel chocolate chocolate vodka and some new slippers.

I'm not one for gifts as theres nothing I really want/need and I usually ask for a Hoover,iron ect but this year I'm going to be a single parent and all I want is a new dressing gown and some pj's.

Porridgekisses · 20/10/2019 20:41

No idea! It's my birthday next week, and I can't think of anything I'd like for that either.

Ninkaninus · 20/10/2019 20:43

My OH bought me a tumble dryer for Christmas some years ago. It was much appreciated and is one of my favourite presents ever! Xmas Grin

This year I would like a Barbour coat, a cashmere scarf or a pair of boots.

I am putting together a list for DH as he does well when instructed but terribly when he goes off piste. Mine includes a pink North Face gilet, a new pair of Ralph Laurent striped Pyjamas, hiking trousers, several books...

PixieDustt · 20/10/2019 20:47

I would like a canvas with a picture from my DS newborn photo shoot and a personalised calander of pictures with him in it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/10/2019 20:47

Mostly books:
Underland / the new Bill Bryson / the Dishoom recipe book
I also want a new travel mug and some tiny picture frames. Nothing much else really - maybe a couple of things from our local indie shops.

LilyJade · 20/10/2019 20:49

My mum has bought me a miniature Moorcroft vase decorated with Siamese cats from an antiques fair.
I love cats & collect cat ornaments so it's a gift I really wanted, i was with her when she bought it.

I'd like someone to buy me the Clinique smart repair serum as I have the Boots No7 protect & Perfect serum but prefer the Clinique one & cant afford it.

There are some books I'd like about ww2, I'd like a pair of trainers either dark red Vans or Nike Air Force 1s; also a gold necklace.

I'll probably end up buying myself those things!!

decisionsincisions · 20/10/2019 20:50

New pots and pans

Anyone recommend some good quality ones which won't break the bank?

MoaningMyrtle96 · 20/10/2019 20:56

A new fluffy dressing gown and some good quality pyjamas. My favourite perfume, a bulk pack of film for my polaroid and maybe some vouchers to treat myself to some makeup.

imclaustrophobicdarren · 20/10/2019 21:00

A new handbag....from Dior 🤦🏻‍♀️ I am a nightmare

PrincessHoneysuckle · 20/10/2019 21:02

A bottle of Portrait of a Lady

Gertie75 · 20/10/2019 21:07

An everyday handbag made of washable material so I can put it in the washing machine, lens for my camera, brown winter boots.

Anyone struggling to think what to have I can recommend a heated throw for the sofa, they're great, I sit under mine all toasty every evening and it's saved a fortune on the gas bill as I no longer need the fire on.

LazyFace · 20/10/2019 21:13

Nothing really. I want a bread machine, but now.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/10/2019 21:14

Decision - the Sainsbo's rip off le Creuset casseroles are really good.

Outsomnia · 20/10/2019 21:16

Mum and Dad back along with my 40 yr old sister.

Forget all the consumerist shyte. It means nothing now.

geeraf · 20/10/2019 21:27

Jeez. I'm just going to say it. Really sorry for you Out, sounds like you've had a particularly shit time - nobody would want that, but way to bring a fluffy lighthearted little thread down...

TravellingSpoon · 20/10/2019 21:33

A chillys bottle and a book I have had on my amazon wishlist for ages about the LISK.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/10/2019 21:33

Yes, agreed. Outsomnia, I'm truly sorry for your losses, but this really isn't the place and isn't very fair on the OP to rain on the parade like that.

Maybe start a new thread?

Sunshine196 · 20/10/2019 21:35

New Dorothy koomson book
New jo malone fragrance
Small silver hoop earrings

huntinghighandlow · 20/10/2019 21:37

It's like when someone has a moan about their mum, there's always one who says 'you should be grateful you have a mum, mine's dead'

CocoLoco87 · 20/10/2019 21:37

Some new perfume. I keep trying Miss Dior when I'm in Debenhams/ HoF. The original one, not blooming bouquet or the other newer ones. But I also like Diorella Confused I can only choose one.

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 20/10/2019 21:49

Revocation of Article 50.
World peace.
For everyone to have the Christmas they deserve.

Failing that, some pjs as I live in them.
