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'd like Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt perfume please, I only have about 2cm left in my current bottle. Thank you!

Gertie75 · 13/11/2019 20:01

A night in a hotel with no kids or husband, I want a few hours to myself with no interruption to eat chocolate and have a good sleep.

BrendasUmbrella · 13/11/2019 20:27

39, from Kent, and I'd love a Hotel Chocolat hamper and the Clothbound Classics version of Sanditon, thank you!

Here's some wine and flowers for you Wine Flowers Grin

  1. North west. Mum to two teenagers. Working full time and doing a masters.

I have zero headspace for anything at the moment, am struggling to choose what I want on my toast in the morning, but have been looking longingly at The Folio Society website and I would love a beautiful copy of Howl's Moving Castle. Please.

PurpleSproutingSomething · 13/11/2019 20:34

Mid-late 30s, mum of one, curly hair and work in a school.
A tin of Strawberry Cream Quality Streets and gin pleeeeease Grin

StealthPussy · 13/11/2019 20:38

A large bottle of whiskey please.

DookofBust · 13/11/2019 20:39

52, dislike tat - have most things I want. Probably vouchers for a local beauty salon - I don’t do much there but have legs wax and eyelashes dyed. I would probably book a £50 hot stone massage / mini facial and be delighted with it.

funnyoldonion · 13/11/2019 21:59

Electric toothbrush and Next chestnut ugg slippers please, hotel choc fruit smoothies if there's change. Very kind x

PastaSauceHoarder · 13/11/2019 22:18

23 years old, 31+4 weeks pregnant, and mum of one lovely toddler. Haven't got a bloody clue what I want this year because my head is stuck in baby-mode. Blush

I think I'd like some vouchers to buy some breastfeeding-friendly clothes for when baby is born, and maybe an Amazon voucher so I can buy some more books on my kindle app. Ooh and maybe season 8 of Call The Midwife on DVD. Smile

BrendasUmbrella · 13/11/2019 22:21

ScribblyGum Oh wow, that's on my list for this year!

Blondebear123 · 13/11/2019 22:25

35 has a 2 year old and works full time. I would like a voucher for a massage , some nike gym gear or just the offer of being a babysitter so I can go out!

Jambalaya76 · 13/11/2019 22:26

Early 40's, busy working mum of 2. North East. Love perfume. My fave is Gucci Bamboo. How lovely to be asked what I would like for Christmas. Thank you so much.
What would you like?Smile

Overseasmom100 · 13/11/2019 22:55

Gel toes and a facial

BikeRunSki · 13/11/2019 22:58

Late 40s, outdoorsy, Yorkshire. Merino socks, thin ones for running, thick ones for walking, long ones for wellies.

Jasmin82 · 13/11/2019 23:57

I'm 37, North West, no children and have a defunct left leg. As such, a nice pair of flat shoes where the sole of the left one won't wear out after a month or 2 would be lovely. If there's anything left over, some chocolate would be nice.

SilverySurfer · 14/11/2019 03:13

I'm in my 70a and would like a Ravensburger jigsaw puzzle or two and a bottle of blood orange Cointreau.

MissingMo · 14/11/2019 12:41

26, mum of one and from SE I would like some nice warm gloves but stylish too. Black preferably and a nice day cream.

merryhouse · 14/11/2019 13:21

A pretty rucksack for carting gym stuff

If there's anything left, some cryptic crossword books or sweets/chocolate (most things except dark, high cocoa or salt).

Whitejotter · 14/11/2019 13:21

A magnifying mirror too please!

merryhouse · 14/11/2019 13:22

(oh, I'm 50 and can't find anyone who wants to employ me after domestic responsibilities)

No-one's asked for lacy underwear. Weird. Grin

AgnesGrundy · 14/11/2019 13:32

I'd like a massive oversized mug. As that wouldn't cost £50 I'd also like a bottle of Bailey's please.

I'm 45, I have 3 school aged kuds, and I work and study. I don't think I have hobbies. I like reading but I absolutely hate people buying me books because choosing my own is part of the pleasure and I don't want other people to choose for me [stamps foot]. I also like fairly strong piping hot large mugs of Yorkshire or PG tips tea with milk and strongly do not want to be bought revolting wishy washy herbal infusion "tea bags".

I'm not a big fan of present exchanging between adults and have a "let's agree not to buy each other anything" agreement with as many adults as possible.

Knucklehead101 · 14/11/2019 13:34

This is very kind of you! I’m a 47 year old single Mum of 3 teenagers. I would absolutely love some silver stud earrings (I’m not being a diva, my ears with go yucky otherwise). I always take them off at night and they get lost. Please and thank you

I can’t possibly receive a present without buying one in return - what would you like?

CMOTDibbler · 14/11/2019 13:40

I'd like some Bobbi Brown makeup bits, a Chilly water bottle, naice fake earrings from Heavenly Necklaces and a long sleeved cycle jersey and matching accessories from Stolen Goat. All of which are on my Amazon wishlist

I'm 47

MrsJonesAndMe · 14/11/2019 13:42

38 yo mum in the South. A massage to just relax would be great. A babysitting voucher to look after DC so DH and I could do something would be even more priceless.

RoryGillmoresEvilTwin · 14/11/2019 13:53

I'm early 40s and a lp student.
I'd like a very sturdy tan slouch/hobo bag. It needs to be quite large and preferably leather.
Actually, if this elusive bag exists, it will probably be more than £50 so I'll have some lovely socks, chocolate and a book from my amazon wishlist please 🙂
