What (materialistic things) are you getting / hoping for this Christmas for yourself?

[thedividedelf]

Just that really, what is on your list to Santa this year just for you?

For me its a good record player & some vinyl (I've got quite a few from way back but a few new ones would be nice).
Skincare
Perfume - something lux
Books
A trip to a festive ballet or opera and a meal out
Some Art Supplies
Lots of Chocolate!

🤣 go big or go home, right?!

Sort of materialistic I suppose, though nothing tangible - getting my seasonal colour analysis done. I've fallen prey to the recent popularity of colour analysis and feel like I can't buy any more clothes until I have my season and sub season confirmed!

I’m hoping to treat myself to a nice block of knives with any money I get. I currently own one pink Jamie Oliver knife that was from a set of three… purchased ten years ago when I was a student. The other two have seemingly disappeared into thin air over the years.

Some new running shoes. The ones I have are old and stinky - I can smell them from here and we're in different rooms.

A new iPad. Mine’s ancient & it’s starting to struggle running some websites which seem to need a lot of memory etc. MN being one of them. I’ve had my money’s worth out of the old one, and it doesn’t owe me a penny.

Oh I love threads like these.

DH has recently bought me a big bottle of a hideously expensive perfume as a 'just because' gift, so I've not asked for anything for Christmas as that is treat enough. We're doing a wider family Secret Santa with a decent budget so I'm secretly hoping for a Lumie sunrise bedside light which would be wonderful.

While not wanting anything else does make me sound rather saintly, while ordering everyone's gifts, I may have accidentally added a Papier diary/planner for myself so I have that to look forward to writing in. And I may have accidentally hit 'buy with one-click' a few times on Audible during Black Friday and knowing they're just waiting for me to enjoy makes me incredibly happy.

I'd like some wool socks.

I got a set of ProCook Professional X50 knives last year. I’m delighted with them. They are excellent knives & sensibly priced. Highly recommended.

Maybe some books and chocolate.

A new Emma Bridgewater mug. A box set of books. A bottle of Amaretto. Bliss.

Absolutely 😁😁

DH definitely won't get me a horse!

DH won’t be thoughtful enough to buy me anything. Our money is in the same pot so if I wanted anything I could just buy it myself. I can understand getting gifts from others but what’s the point of a gift from DH when it’s basically your money anyway?

I do a list for dh. This year I have
A bag from Fatface
A dress from Fatface
Kindle vouchers
Apple Music sub
Some slightly posher than normal shower gel from M&S
A lounge wear set

I don't even usually like Fatface but I have been searching for a particular type of bag everywhere and that's the only place I found what I was looking for. The dress was in one of those 'style with' photos at the bottom and I thought oh I like the colour.

That said I sent him the list a couple of months back when he asked and he only started looking this week so I strongly suspect I'll have missed the boat on the bag.

Second pair of oven gloves 😭

Books
Bridgedale walking socks
West Yorkshire Spinners socks

Tbh I will get the best present because dp is moving into our new house at last. I was reluctant for a long time but once I decided, I started really longing for him to be here.

I would love a silver pendant but I'm so fussy about jewellery I think I would really rather buy it myself. I always lose it as well so it's less painful if it's not from someone else.

Elemis ultimate pro collagen gift set.
Earrings, aquamarine quartz with moonstone and pearl. I’ve picked and ordered them
A book
Casserole dish

@MargaritaThyme thank you for the recommendation! I’ve heard good things about those knives so I’ll have a look. Being able to chop an onion without the risk of hacking of my hand will be the greatest gift of all 😁
