What do YOU want for Christmas?

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?

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!

I used to wear this but now I wear this dupe! edenperfumes.co.uk/product/perfumes/no-083-vegan-madame-glamour-oriental-woody-womens/

I never have any decent ideas.

I usually get some new posher than I would buy myself Pj’s, lots of Lindt red balls, a new bobble hat, a nice bottle of red wine (from the in laws!) and a diary.

i use and enjoy them all which is the main thing but i will be watching this thread for ideas!

i dread this question every year... i have all that i want and need and don't see the point in wasting money on something that will sit in a drawer.

hubby and i no longer buy each other gifts, we treat ourselves too a weekend away on the build up to christmas.

Same. We can never think of anything so instead of gifts we try to do nice experiences instead.

Interested in this thread?

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

I was there not long ago, but can't remember if there was one in their shop. Do they maybe have an online shop? Failing that have you tried eBay?

Hambie · 20/08/2024 16:01

I'd like a bottle of Neon shower gel. It's too expensive to buy myself!

And Aesop hand wash, I've always wanted to try it.

And the Glinda/Elphaba lego.

StellaCruella · 20/08/2024 16:07

I want a stocking of consumables like bath oil, make up, chocolate, plus a book, and then for my main present I want DH to plan and book a day or night out or activity, either just for me and him or for us and the DC.

I keep having to declutter and I am starting to hate stuff!

A Neom wellbeing pod and a selection of oils

A pair of gold and pearl earrings

Elemis cleansing balm and a jar of marine cream

I bought my DM the Neom Pod last year, she loves it 🥰

That sounds perfect 😍 I’ve added a shower oil to my list, since I haven’t got a bath!

What do YOU want for Christmas?
allmycats · 22/08/2024 09:26

I would like the Nuxe advent calendar

Wwyd2025 · 22/08/2024 10:05

A gaming pc.

I swear I'm a functioning adult in my 30s. 😂

MonsteraMama · 22/08/2024 10:09

I already have too much crap stuff so I'm hoping husband goes for an experience of some sort this year. Or some new perfume, he seems to have a really good nose for what will suit me, all my favourites have been bought initially by him.

And something homemade from my daughter. She's very crafty and I look forward to whatever creation I get from her each year.

Nothing.
My.mother died this year and I cant face Christmas.

FlipFlops4Me · 22/08/2024 16:21

I can more or less count on two gifts this year. One from Dsis and one from DSon. DH has advanced dementia and is in a nursing home. I will get him a new cuddly toy and he will hold it at night.

I'd like some pedal lights for my bike but they're a bit expensive. I'd like some new elbow pads too. But that's about it I think. I'm a minimalist and I really don't want any more things that I won't find useful.
