What do you want and maybe a bit about yourself (if you want to of course) If you feel it could relate (approx age, location, hobbies or whatever)

Humidifier/diffuser thing.

AsMuchUseAsAMarzipanDildo · 13/11/2019 09:38

Coco by Chanel and novelty socks. 30 something.

OMGshefoundmeout · 13/11/2019 09:39

I’m late fifties, London based. I would some Thornton’s Classic chocolates and a pair of bamboo yoga pants. Or some cashmere gloves/beanie hat. Thank you very much.

Nottobesoldseparately · 13/11/2019 09:42

Some turtle dove cashmere wrist warmers.

Recycled from old jumpers, in black or a very vibrant colour please, nothing pale.

I am 44, and My hobbies are drinking and walking the dog! I'm from Yorkshire.

There would be money left over for ferrero rocher, a candle, bubble bath and a bottle of wine too!!

Bumfuzzled · 13/11/2019 09:44

Early 40s busy working mum. A massive box of Hotel chocolates would make me very happy! I’d also like a reed diffuser from the white company. Or a crate of different wines.

Thank you!

FruitSaladSandwich · 13/11/2019 09:48

A travel mug that doesn’t leak and some really nice coffee to go in it please.

Early 40s. Tired.

MrBobLobLaw · 13/11/2019 09:55

28yo woman, London, hobbies include being 9 days overdue to DS2.

I think I'd like an oil scent diffuser thing, the ones that puff out the scent. DP dislikes candles because they're 'bad for you' Hmm so thought this was a good middle ground.

WhenEnoughIsEnough · 13/11/2019 10:01

All I really want in a large yankee candle in glittering star scent. I have recently enrolled as an OU student and everyone is buying me things needed for my course for christmas, which is lovely and practical and although I'm very grateful for it I just want the candle. 25yo mum, near cambridge.

A radio please.

33, SAHM to two primary aged kids who is being driven mad by the silence in the few hours a day I'm at home (I also do quite a bit of my volunteering work at home, and again it's the SILENCE making it hard)

historysock · 13/11/2019 10:15

I want a long black tunic top with mesh sleeves from Silk Fred. It will probably be sold out by Christmas when someone (dp) finally gets round to buying me something

historysock · 13/11/2019 10:16

Sorry I'm 39.
I want it to wear for going out when I need to be a bit more dressed up but not in a dress so to speak...

Themazeoflife · 13/11/2019 10:24

Fluffy socks please (normal ones without glitter running through them)

bellinisurge · 13/11/2019 10:32

A Kelly Kettle Wink

CountFosco · 13/11/2019 10:36

Late 40s, difficult to buy for, hate tat. Check my Amazon Wishlist but for £50 I'd like cashmere socks or gloves. A classic perfume that is relatively cheap (SJP Lovely is a good option, or L'Air du Temps) or a smaller bottle of something nice (I'd actually be happier with 10ml of somethin exquisite than 200ml of something cheap and horrible. An insulated butter dish. Wine or Gin but for £50 no more than half a dozen bottles of wine (not a full case), one of the gift sets from The Wine Society would be fab.

Whoops75 · 13/11/2019 10:38

Good Travel mug
Perfume - I like Chanel
Voucher for pedicure
Molton brown shower gel & body lotion
Leather gloves

Froggledoggleoggle · 13/11/2019 10:44

I'm 29, East Midlands.
I'd really like some new gym tops please, I really like the range that Constantly Varied Gear has at the moment, and some nice chocolate please.

This is very genorous of you, what would you like for Christmas?

Jasimo · 13/11/2019 10:55

30 North Scotland, a moleskine notebook, a fruity smelling candle and a lush bath bomb.

Cineraria · 13/11/2019 10:57

Ooh how exciting! Do you have a sleigh by any chance? Reindeer?

I'd love a couple of 4mm Brittany Birch crochet hooks as the DC seem to have a vendetta against mine and some yarn. Inexpensive pure wool or cotton yarn, like Drops brand, in any weight and cool neutral or jewel colours please. Knitting and crochet gifts are especially lovely because they give many hours of pleasure in the making and I remember the gift giver and the enjoyment of making the item each time I use it.

I'm mid forties with two preschool aged sons on the south London-Kent border. I worked in education but am taking a career break until the youngest is in school. I like all kinds of textile crafty stuff.

ifyoulikepinacolada · 13/11/2019 11:20

Early 30s, London, like sports and reading. Some of the things I’d like are:

Posh bath foam and body lotion (Clarins/Neom/Kiehl’s, that sort of thing)
A scented candle from Diptyque or Jo Malone
Cashmere gloves
A new purse
A big blanket for my sofa
Some wine, or some lovely gin or whiskey
Champagne glasses!
A voucher for a massage

MotherWol · 13/11/2019 11:22

Mum of one, 37, London, I think people think I'm difficult to buy for because I'm going through a bit of a minimalist thing at the moment. But I'd love consumables - nice alcohol, coffee, handmade soap, a houseplant, Aesop hand cream - or books, or a nice woolly jumper. Frankly, a massive chunk of fancy cheese, some crackers, and some quiet time to eat it would be my perfect present.

HollowTalk · 13/11/2019 11:25

@Aroundtheworldin80moves Can't you listen to the radio on your TV, laptop or phone?

HotSince82 · 13/11/2019 11:28

(Small) bottle of Dior's Poison, thanks ever so much!
Thirty six year old mum of five from the Wirral Smile

SillyMoomin · 13/11/2019 11:29

Oooooh

Mum of 2, 36 years old

Please could I have a bottle of Pink Laurent Perrier champagne

There may be just enough left over to also get a toblerone. That would be lovely Grin
