@Girlontherailreplacementbusservice not quite the same. But you might find something.

I'd like a necklace from kit heath but it is £225 the one I like.

Someone on another MN thread linked to this

I genuinely need a new handbag for when I go into the office and this one is perfect. Sadly I’m not £239 in need though :(

Also, I really wanted to enter a 70.3 Ironman next year but can’t afford it. So that too, seeing as this is fantasy shopping anyway 😂

The Madrid Handbag

The buzzing city of Madrid. This capital of Spain is full of art galleries, large open lush gardens, streets lined with Spain's best tapas bars and a city atmosphere that never dwindles no matter the time of day! It's one of those places unlike...

A really good telescope 🔭

Curlyshabtree · 13/12/2023 22:10

A book of iron on embroidery designs, some oven gloves and a new frame for a lovely print I bought from a local artist.

CharlottePimpernel · 13/12/2023 22:11

A shed. A really lovely one with a wood burning stove and an armchair, lots of shelves and hooks and a window.

SwordToFlamethrower · 13/12/2023 22:12

A breast reduction

21ZIGGY · 13/12/2023 22:13

An airwrap
Some lovely gold earrings, small studs or hoops

A pair of Georg Jensen earrings. Let me know if you come across a cheap dup.

Dammit, this has just motivated me to buy the Georg Jensen candleholders that have been sitting in my online basket since this morning. I'd managed to exercise some self-restraint and closed the website but I just went back now and ordered them. 😂 (Well, they're heavily reduced so I'm saving money right 😜 And electricity lol).

I will keep those in mind if I get any spending money from Santa. Not quite as gorgeous as GJ but very nice.

Whiskers4 · 13/12/2023 22:17

I'd be really happy with a book.

whatsthesenseinsharing · 13/12/2023 22:19

Some 3 day hotel and spa stay. Ridiculously overpriced and palatial suite (with roaring fireplace) where I can sleep and recharge in a very comfy big bed. Books, chocolates amazing tea and food. Wine!!!! And just chill! Oh and maybe a lovely diamond ring

Sorry, not sorry. You deserve the beautiful candle holders. Enjoy

A Marshall radio and speaker as I miss music so much.
A holiday to Lapland.
A holiday somewhere hot next October.
Health and happiness for DD who has had a very difficult 25 year but is still here.
And a car.

I'd like a digital grand piano; the one I want is about 3 grand.

ActDottie · 13/12/2023 22:36

A massage or spa day. Something relaxing

SkaneTos · 13/12/2023 22:41

DVD's with all the seasons of the tv drama "Big Love".

WinkyTinky · 13/12/2023 22:42

@ladygindiva I've just bought my son a digital piano for his birthday, not a grand one, just normal, but it sounds amazing. Not bad at £380 👍🏻

For me I would buy a ring I've seen in Sainsbury's. In fact, I'm probably going to buy it next time I'm in and give it to the kids to give to me...

DumpedByText · 13/12/2023 22:42

A Dyson airwrap and the biggest bottle of La Vie Est Belle perfume I could find!

itsgoingtobeabumpyride · 13/12/2023 22:43

Marc Jacobs Tote bag, medium size, £350, just missed the 20% off which would have made it a bit more affordable 😕

Amani · 13/12/2023 23:02

Emirates business class ticket to Singapore.
Braces and teeth whitening
'The' Chloe bag
Ralph Lauren puffer coat I saw online which is now sold out (couldn't afford it anyway!)

mrsbyers · 13/12/2023 23:12

I got a refurbished bramwell clock for my 50th from my parents and it was perfect , I lost my dad later that year and everytime I look at it I think of him - he was a bit weather obsessed

deplorabelle · 13/12/2023 23:13

Very large tree pots for the garden, and tall raised beds. A rhubarb plant, a step over apple and a greengage tree

Copperoliverbear · 13/12/2023 23:18

A jacket (Barbour style) from ugg £260 short. Hoping hubby took the hint. X

If this is a question if I had unlimited amount of money then I would would treat myself to a Hermes Birkin after building my profile there buying the smaller goods and then I would treat myself to a rose gold Van cleef perlee clover with 3 row diamonds.

But if I weren't spending all my money on other people then I would probably check myself in some 5 day spa in some 5* hotel somewhere in Europe where it's snowing. I would only leave the room for massages and a walk around the woods and will spend my the remaining time in my robe watching Xmas films and ordering room service.
