I'd like a cookery lesson with Hannibal. Not at all into the cannibal aspect but if I could persuade him to use some other kind of red meat (are we red meat??) then I bet he'd be a class A teacher. The food in the tv show always looked amazing*.

What non-existent present would you like?

*Is fairly essential to mentally replace the meat components with non-human delectables to maximise the dancing of one's tastebuds.

Something that will recreate in my brain that all-encompassing, completely immersive joy I used to feel going to gigs. I still like live music but find myself preferring seats to the mosh pit, wondering whether to wait for a break to go to the loo or miss a few songs to beat the queue, or hoping people won't stand up too soon Sad

Oh I really feel you on this one!
It used to be the most joyous, dopamine boosting thing ever!

A robot that will cook my dinner and decide what i should have

This would be amazing.
I've always wanted the magic carpet from Aladdin. It took him around the world in an evening, how handy would that be for holidays! You could just pop to Greece for dinner. Also very convenient to visit friends who live far away just for the evening.

A robot which washes, dries, irons and then puts away the laundry.

A suncream machine. I hate applying suncream - I need factor 50 all over and its a horrible goopy sticky mess. It would be great to get something like a fake tan cubicle - step in, it covers you easily and quickly with fast drying non sticky sun protection in seconds with no gaps that turn into tiny little burned bits

Yes! No more airport queued / security

Who is Bernard with the oh-so-desirable watch?

I'd have magic hair that restyled itself perfectly after every wash.

Bernards Watch is a kids TV show from the 90s

A printer that prints authentic £ notes. Is that bad? Blush

A pill that will give me loads of energy during the day

A robot that will make me tea in the middle of the night or early in the morning. I need it to be made, and delivered to me.

You could get a Teasmaid.

You’d be responsible for runaway Weimar Republic/South American style hyperinflation I’m afraid.😂

Someone to clean my house every single day. Would take off the strain of day to day life. Would also like to have the winning lottery ticket...

A humongous box of calorie free chocolate, and an equally large case of calorie free wine to wash it down.

80sMum · 19/10/2023 20:50

I'd like a personality transplant, please! I'd like to be a super-organised, energetic person who manages easily to get everything done in the time available and then has some time left over, rather than the chaotic, disorganised procrastinator personality that I currently have!

Or if I can't have that, I'll have a full set of household staff, please, to do all the cleaning, cooking, tidying, gardening and all the other stuff that clogs up ones life!

An extra day between Wednesday and Thursday. Failing that, this:

Someone to organise my thousands and thousands of photos into physical albums. That means both digital and pre-digital, to include the very old ones that belonged to my parents and grandparents.
And as someone said upthread, that person will just know how to do it and what order to put them in, etc., without being told.

Newestname002 · 21/10/2023 11:07

Most of what I want has already been mentioned. I'd like a magic creature who'd grant me as many wishes as I wanted, without any negative cost to me or those I love 🌹

Cabbagey · 21/10/2023 11:39

That watch was absolutely wasted on Bernard. There he was using it to clear out a garage, when 9 year old me would have been touring the globe, walking through the amazon rain forest while all the spiders were frozen, rescuing hostages, and committing the jewel robbery of the century.

These days I'd do the same thing, minus the jewel robbery.
