What do you have your eye on for YOURSELF

I'm pretty sure I posted this last year or at least some time before!
What do you have your eye on in the sales/that nobody would buy for you/that you were hoping to get but didn't?
DH got me some lovely crafty earrings but now I'm thinking how nice it would be to add more in to the mix!
And I've been knitting a temperature blanket all year so I'd like to get yarn for a jumper for me (not something I'd ever expect to get as a present).
Also boring but necessary, I need new flannels! Would like to find organic.

I've been looking at getting a Garmin fitness watch (I'm a widow and though I've got two kids too pricey for them so if I want a high ticket item I get it for myself). Then I went and bought myself some nice earrings with matching necklace so thought that was it as the watch is unlikely to go on sale. This morning my son gave me his present: the Garmin watch! He has a part time job and I've been giving him a hard time as he had spent his last pay so quickly 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😳!

I have a Laura Ashley voucher and I like most things in there, so I am sure I'll find something. I'm going to have a look the day after tomorrow.

I got some really nice gifts from DD this year (I bought them, wrapped them and forgot about them), so I don't feel the urge to go out and buy much on the sales.

Merry Christmas. I hope you get something nice.

Got myself an Ice Queen Frog Prince lipstick. My cousin told me it’s supposed to react with your lip ph so it just enhances the natural colour. Hers was very pink, mine is my perfect red. Ecstatic!

There’s a lovely coat in Fat Face which has the colour I don’t want on sale, and the colour I want not on sale. I’ve got the money from family but I’m being stubborn and hoping more items go on sale including that coat.

A Dyson hairdryer or Simplehuman mirror. Both are too expensive for me to put on my Xmas List, and neither are likely to be reduced in the sales, but I was lucky enough to get some John Lewis vouchers today so might treat myself to one of them. Can’t decide which though!

A watercolour paint set. It is beautiful and I want to do more in the new year.

Silver jewellery. Where's the discount?

drspouse · 25/12/2019 18:52

You may find some unwanted gifts on eBay?

To my complete astonishment I need to go and buy a guitar strap because I'm now the proud owner of a bass guitar.

I will probably need to learn to play it as well Shock Grin

drspouse · 25/12/2019 20:12

Shock That's a stunner!

I’d like piano lessons but they don’t go on sale lol!

Stuff wise I’m mostly sorted - it’s my 40th in just over a month so I can’t get too much as people are already asking me what I want for then - and I don’t know!!!

A new charging cable for my S7 phone.

Guided meditation and hypnosis MP3s

I have my eye on a hoody. Saw it's reduced at Go Outdoors but don't know which size I'll need so have to hope it's in stock for me to try on

LilyJade · 25/12/2019 21:24

I wanted an LG Smart TV that was reduced in Curry's so I used some of my money from my late gran & bought one!!
So pleased with it.

Also treated myself to a pair of half price sterling silver rose gold plated dangly earrings from Debenhams.

Opened our final presents this morning and what I thought was a nice book from my DM was actually a small tray bought only because it matched something she got the DCs! Feeling rather an afterthought TBH. Have ordered some nice jewellery.
