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)

I’m 28 and a mum of a just turned 1 year old. I think I’d quite like some fudge, some nice bamboo socks, a new book (and some toddler free time to read it!) and a nice smelly candle please Smile

Zenithbear · 13/11/2019 11:38

A pair of dark blue skinny jeans that aren't ripped or high waist, don't go baggy round the knee and last more than a year thank you.

KeepYourCup · 13/11/2019 11:43

I'd like some nice dark chocolate and some coffee please.

And books.

Mid 30’s, self confessed podcast addict.

My favourite podcast, The West Wing Weekly, have just released a coffee mug in their merch line. So I would like a West Wing Weekly mug so I can drink tea (my favourite hot drink) while listening to my favourite podcast which is about my favourite ever tv show.

And if there’s enough left over by the time you convert the currency and pay international shipping can I also have the Francis Scott key key keychain (if you watched the west wing that will make sense!)

Thanks!

(Rubs hands with Glee) I normally buy myself presents so I can get what I want!

Some skincare wold be nice (though I have quite a bit!). Liz Earle perfume number 15 (may be a bit over £50). Or the Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely set which is cheaper. Lippy from Lancome or Dior in a nice red colour. I have seen some lovely dresses from Curve Asos which are very reasonable.

Books too!

You are very kind!

graziemille567 · 13/11/2019 12:00

Mid 30's, bored at work, mum of one. I'd like a nice new blusher from Benefit and some Hotel Chocolat treats please!

A handbag please Grin

I'm 29 and currently on maternity leave so have no purse or handbag at the minute. I use my phone cover to hold my bank card and always have a nappy changing bag with me.

I'm due back to work just before Christmas so I'll need a handbag for then.

Please could I have a leather travel wallet (one with multiple compartments as I often travel with more than two currencies)

43, single, travel for work a lot

IToldYouIWasFreaky · 13/11/2019 12:20

Watching with interest as I'm struggling a bit for ideas for myself this year!

So far I have Contigo travel mug, a lavender scented wheat bag for my back/arthritic knee, a Bluetooth gadget for the car so I can listen to podcasts from my phone on the car speakers, Oddballs pants and bralets, and rum. Gin/wine/beer always appreciated too!

42, hobbies include drinking, running when knee allows and watching rugby.

granof3 · 13/11/2019 12:33

Would love a couple of books please.
Nothing highbrow, just something from the top 20.
Usually i use the local book exchange but nothing thrills me like a new book.
A nice scarf would also be appreciated, here your not properly dressed in winter without one.🇪🇸
Expat and mid 50s.

Gingerkittykat · 13/11/2019 12:48

Lush sleepy gift set £13

I don't know if £37 is enough for a nice baggy denim jacket, maybe in the sales.

Otherwise a nice leather satchel to carry work documents. None of the silly woman's ones with silly short straps or flowers, a nice mens or unisex one. Again probably can't get it with the money left over.

$0, Scotland.

AppleOrchard · 13/11/2019 12:52

Harry Potter Hogwarts Clock Tower pls!
40's lentil hippy type, late to the party reading the books- love LunaGrin

I would love a massage.
I am 45 year old stay at home mum who's had breast cancer and currently has a frozen shoulder and constant headaches.
Many thanks for the thought!

nowlook · 13/11/2019 13:00

I'd like a subscription to Persephone books. Or one of their books, a nice notebook, a new wine glass (I like a small, stubby 175ml glass and I'm down to my last of six. Think they were from a petrol station 20 years ago 😂) and maybe an old piece of piano music.

I'm 40, from the East Midlands, two boys, lawyer, like books, music and wine.

Actually, just give it to the boys for FIFA points or some such shite. That's where it normally goes.

AliceAforethought · 13/11/2019 13:15

A nice jumper, can be second hand (most of my stuff is!) Nordic or Aran.
Charms for my bracelet - old fashioned style, not pandora style.
Other silver jewellery.
Nice knitting yarn.
House plants.
Books

Age 50, 5 DC, live rurally, like to walk my big dog, read and knit.

AliceAforethought · 13/11/2019 13:16

Oh, and thanks! Grin

YahBasic · 13/11/2019 13:20

30, no DC.

Molton Brown bath oil and some nice chocolates would do me nicely.

I’ve also asked DH for a new coat (Zara waterproof puffer) and a Fitbit.

NerdyCurvyInkedandPervy · 13/11/2019 13:26

Ooohh... I'm 41. I'm always so pleased with anything.

I'd love a good journal, or some nice stationary. Perhaps some pretty yarn. Or a bag to store yarn and needles in.

Thank you x

Littlefrog99 · 13/11/2019 13:37

Mid 30's mum of 2 under 3y from the north east. I have lots of very stressful things going on right now so I would love a nice massage or facial, scented candles and luxury bath products. Alcohol would also be a good choice. Gin, wine or champagne are my favourites. A nice notebook/diary would be a winner with me also.

Ormally · 13/11/2019 14:13

Ooh, I wish someone would say that to me really! Although I do have lovely people who will surprise me, but I do like to be able to give a bit of direction.

I'm a Yorkshire lass decamped to Essex, 40 with a 9yo child. Paid to be organised but when not, quite messy, especially in Christmas mode. I would love: a golden coloured warm scarf (as I seem to have lost mine by this Winter and am missing it), a little mini waffle maker about which I will feel quite guilty but will still enjoy making and eating the waffles, and a cushion from Homesense (with a kind of mosaic-y pattern on it that reminds me a bit of Elmer).
Thank you and happy wishing for things everyone.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 13/11/2019 14:21

Thank you very muchGrin
I have a serious coffee addiction and I'd love An Aeropress or coffee dripper with a bag of ground Colombian coffee
If you're passing Hotel chocolat I'd love a small bag of chocolate marzipan too
