I hate buying clothes - it's a chore so I wouldn't want clothes as a gift.
I also wouldn't want something I need as a gift. If I need something I just get it.
Christmas gifts should be for fun.
So my 'want' is a Lego City set which I have already bought (£15 in B+M which I was very pleased at getting).
My 'read' I'm not sure. There's a book I want to read but it isn't out in paperback until February. I have a big pile of To Be Read books so I might not bother this year.

The tickle fingers toddler cookbook is great for this. Simple recipes that are savoury and sweet with a parent prep section that tells you what you need to do before you let your toddler loose!
