It has happened… I’ve been asked what I wanted for Christmas, whilst a loved one was visiting today.

So what do YOU want for Christmas?

I have a huge holiday and my birthday in the next few weeks so the c word is the last thing on my mind.

A new coffee machine to replace our leaky old one. DH and I have agreed it will be our Christmas pressie for ourselves. Last year we ‘gifted’ ourselves new crockery. Who says romance is dead!?

I would LOVE one of those massive pregnancy pillows (I'm not pregnant, just fat).

I really struggle getting comfy due to my disability, so that would be a godsend.

Interested in this thread?

An NUFC logo sweatshirt. All of my sweatshirts are far too big and my cousin had a really nice one which I’d like to have (but he’s 11, so I need a bigger one!)

Peace on earth, good will to all men would be nice.

Not asking much, me.

Gettingannoyednow · 18/08/2024 20:47

I'd like to go on one of those guided-foraging trips.

A jigsaw of Lincoln cathedral. I’ve been looking for one for a while but had no luck.

The 6ft (12ft round) U shaped pillow i have is SO GOOD for support with joint pain for sleeping, would recommend.

Don't know what I want for Christmas. Maybe some books that are less effort than "proper literature" but not rubbish either. I've got out of the habit of reading for pleasure when tv is easier, but I do like to read

MewMew101 · 18/08/2024 20:52

I forgot to say, I’d really like a weighted blanket and a set of marshmallow make-up sponges (from Colmana) 😊

Two nights to myself, in my own house. I love my family dearly, but oh my would I love this for a treat!

IggyAce · 18/08/2024 20:54

I would like: Nuxe Lip balm
quality dark chocolate
dressing gown.

A spa break

beakyboo10 · 18/08/2024 20:56

A spa day with a treatment included and some elderflower gin.

hattie43 · 18/08/2024 20:56

I'd like a good pair of winter boots .

Fontainebleau007 · 18/08/2024 20:58

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle perfume. I wore it on my wedding day a few years ago and have asked DH for some more, I loved it 🥰
Also maybe a pair of sketchers and some comfy pj's!

WantingARefund · 18/08/2024 21:03

Loving these ideas. My family is pretty clueless so I need to compile my list, including links, nice and early 😂

So far I have an Adanola jumper, Aesop mini hand sanitiser (I’ll help Santa out with this one and buy it for my stocking) ~ I really want a White Company robe and maybe PJs. And jellycats ~ as many food related jellycats as possible!

I’d love another Jellycat! I bought the pair of amuseable Marshmallows, I kept one and gave the other to my best friend 🥰

A full set of china by a classic Portuguese brand.

OK that is an adorable idea and has just hit the list for my bestie! (The fact I’ll get to keep one is just a bonus 😉)

That sounds amazing! What are your chances of getting it?

Gettingbysomehow · 18/08/2024 21:16

I want to be left alone for xmas, I don't want to see anyone, to receive gifts or send them.
I'm sicking of going into debt for a religion that isn't even my own. What the hell is that all about?

funnyoldonion · 18/08/2024 21:17

to be out of this situation i am in

Ifailed · 18/08/2024 21:17

No one mentioning xmas when it's months away.

JamMakingWannaBe · 18/08/2024 21:28

Perhaps strangely to others but I'm asking for a dragonfly willow weaving kit this year, as I'd like to make one for my garden.
Also a massage voucher, a yoghurt maker and maybe a new sports/gym kit.
