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)

Early 40's, SAHM of 2. Epically sleep deprived.

Some really nice PJ's, a copy of the new Phillip Pullman novel and a packet of Wispa bites please.

ihearttc · 13/11/2019 16:20

Some Molton Brown Rosa Absolute bath stuff, some new PJ's (primark ones will do), an animal print belt and a new book (and some Ferrero Rocher if any money left over)

FinnBalorsAbs · 13/11/2019 16:22

I’ve got my eye on a Mia Tui handbag for £25. Chuck a book, some slipper socks, fruity tea selection tin and a small box of Ferraro Rocher in it before you wrapped it and I’d be veritably giddy thank you.

FinnBalorsAbs · 13/11/2019 16:23

40, mum of two, works from home, not much money to spend on things for me at the moment.

behindlocknumbernine · 13/11/2019 16:23

I will be 50 in Less than two years’ time and am determined not to enter my 50’s obese. So since August I have lost two stone. Another two to go!

Last month I joined a badminton club, to help with weight loss and fitness. My old badminton racquet is disintegrating and the handle is leaving my hand a black sweaty mess.

A new badminton racquet would be wonderful! Thank you so much 😊

RedPandaFluff · 13/11/2019 16:40

Ooooo! I would like some nice comfy clothes for lounging around the house in - I'm 34 weeks pregnant and am pretty much living in pyjamas when I'm not at work. Some M&S loungewear might make me feel like less of a sloth 😁

(I'm turning 40 next month so if there's any cash left a mini bottle of champagne would be much appreciated too, for after the baby is born!)

Thank you kindly, and I'm interested to hear about what you would like as well!

MulticolourMophead · 13/11/2019 16:45

51, and currently single.

Would love a Oarson's Essential fountain pen, or maybe membership to a small local gym that cares about helping people who want to get fit and lose weight, without being snide about it like some gyms. You know, the ones where everyone is already super fit and you feel put off from going.

TravellingSpoon · 13/11/2019 16:54

Mid 30's, recent separation from DH, midlands.

I would love some Elemis Facial Oil and Dan Jones' book on The Crusaders.

TripleChocs · 13/11/2019 17:15

Late 40's, cabinet of dark Hotel Chocolate chocolates please!

Slaymill · 13/11/2019 17:19

Late forties Shropshire I would like some money towards to an Avery perfume

On budget Iain Burnet truffles, Nyetimber and an Alice and Peg box. Which would make me happy. I got a phone charger last year which is still in the box. DP is a crap pressie buyer.

TheTurnOfTheScrew · 13/11/2019 17:24
  1. I like good wine - the weekend papers often have decent recommendations, high % cocoa chocolate truffles, Molton Brown bath stuff. I read a lot, so often ask people for a book they've really loved. Or a CD of a classical piece I've not heard.
Baguetteaboutit · 13/11/2019 17:25

I'd like a pair of Alaska 2 slippers from Moshulu in red, size 6 please and with the remaining money I'd like the biggest box of Lindor chocolate that you can get for a tenner.

Failing that, I'd like the Clarin's Moisture Surge gift set.

Thank you in advance.

Baguetteaboutit · 13/11/2019 17:27

Oh, I'm female, 40 yo and in the North East

RoyalChocolat · 13/11/2019 17:38

38, French countryside.
I'd like a fleece-lined knitted cardigan, books and a large mug in the best fine bone china you can get for the price.

Camomila · 13/11/2019 17:59

Bread maker please (the one I really like is 54.99 but there's another one for 49.99)

31, live in Brighton and planning to do lots of healthy baking on mat leave. 2nd baby so hoping for another chilled one pls!

nedtherobbot · 13/11/2019 18:01

I love crafting, crochet is my favourite, but I cross stich and I am determined to master my sewing machien to make myself and the children lovely bright clothes.

Yarn and crochet hooks would make me giddy; apprently I have too much of it already. Triple wardrobe full of bargains I couldn't miss. So some lovely cotton jersy please, and the A0 print outs of the patterns I'm waiting to make.

I also love wooden toys, they are mine but I let the children play too. I would welcome another Ned coming to live with us and maybe some extra grapat loose parts.

30, 2 children in the south west.

50 ish woman. I'd love something from Susie Watson, Christmas decorations or some candlesticks.

LikeSilver · 13/11/2019 18:36

I’m 34, working mum of two primary aged kids and also a full time student. So some more hours in the day would be great. If you can’t manage that, I would really love the We Rate Dogs calendar, new PJs, and a tub of Haribo (rings or giant strawbs). Thanks very much!
