I would buy myself an upgrade on one of the instruments I play. Only £1300!

I'd like another lens for my camera...unlikely at £1500.

@SorrowsPrayers

niw you're talking!!

They can keep all the boots/shoes & hand bags, I'd far rather have a Ken's!

(well actually need a new camera body too!!)

One of the new kindles
a shark hairdryer
the grey tweed trousers I saw today

I'd be really happy with a book.

@Whiskers4

youre easily pleased! I wish you were on my list of people to buy for.

in my village there's a charity shop who sell books in very very good condition not 3x as thick as when they were new!

what books do you enjoy?

A bottle of Creed Avensis perfume, but it’s so expensive

Pinkpinkpink15 · 14/12/2023 00:07

A new house & garden

This beautiful teapot. It's in my Amazon basket until I have a windfall and then I shall treat myself...

Better DNA. As someone with serious genetic conditions needing countless surgery, I have a faint whiff of envy when I drag myself to the local supermarket and see jolly people racing around with their trolleys appearing to have no care in the world. I appreciate looks can be deceiving, but on the face of it I feel short changed in the body department so it is hard not to wish to be them.

I'm treating myself to carpet for my office, and a new rear-view mirror for the car 😟

I'd love to take myself & ds on holiday somewhere warm.

Posca pens
Their Nibs pyjamas.

The pyjamas I will get eventually as several current pairs have been worn to holes. The pens I feel unable to justify.

A new engagement ring.
I had been wearing mine daily for about 35 years when, a few months ago, I caught it on the shed door and pulled it completely out of shape and the stone and bit holding the stone all bent over.
Beyond repair 😞

You could get a jeweller to make you a new ring using existing stones

Sugarfree23 · 14/12/2023 01:14

A magic wand? Or a cleaning squad to declutter and clean my house!

I can barely keep on top of the house and never get to deal with the clutter

Spinal surgery. Having a laminectomy soon for leg pain but would willing pay for them to add in a bit of extra surgery such as a fusion for pain relief and to get my life back.

Isn't that insured on your house policy as a named item.

A Bramwell Brown weather clock. I've been coveting one for aaaages

I had to look these up to find out what they are and now I want one too.

NoTeaNoShade · 14/12/2023 02:55

I've already done it and have bought cashmere loungewear, together with a case of champagne. You shall find me wearing and drinking little else!

A bunch of blooming, deep red amaryllis in a sparkling-clean tall glass vase.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 14/12/2023 03:57

I have already, some Trinny bb cream and a Nars orgasm set on Black Friday.
Otherwise, it would be a dog free break in a lovely hotel, with or without dh. In fact, is there room at that spa?
