I have no idea!
I work around 60 hours a week so have no life. No hobbies and the kids and dh are badgering me for ideas. There's genuinely nothing I want or need!
So tell me what you want so I can get ideas!

Really warm mittens that would keep my hands warm when I am cycling around.
2nd hand cashmere jumper in colour that I love, green or deep purply-blue.
beautiful handmade 2nd hand pottery
a picture drawn by one of my adult children
a beautiful houseplant
a session with a personal trainer
someone to hire someone to plaster my bedroom ceiling

I am not going to get any of those things

Can you get yourself something?

On the cashmere I find the usual colours so dull. Uniqlo cashmere survives dylon machine dye, I buy from vinted then dye.

A silk pillowcase
Tobago chocolate rum
Nice chocolates, usually Chococo

A new diamond ring.

Gym clothes as all mine are too big.

I prefer things to do rather than actual stuff as there's not really anything I need.

I'm getting vouchers for a spa treatment and a half day cookery school experience.

Flowers, wine and nice things to eat are also always appreciated.

I give my kids (older teens/ young adults) and dh specific suggestions these days. This year I've asked for a specific book, a new folding music stand, a new water bottle and a wash bag made from an old tent (there's a back story, honest!)

England to get their act together & win the next 4 test matches to bring the Ashes home.

More chance of flying to Jupiter, I suppose. But I can hope.

So my list would be 2 nights in a hotel on my own.... No husband or kids- just a spa, exercise and good food (for peace and quiet)
Or a month's worth of a cleaner/deep clean of house
Yes I basically want time!!!

I want my house to sell so I don't have to live with my STBExH anymore. It's so painful living in this limbo of being friends, but not actually.

But in real life, vouchers to put towards a new tattoo.

Titasaducksarse · 30/11/2025 21:05

Some warm but thin gloves for dog walking.
Ideas I've put forward inc new kindle, le pilage tote, jewellery, Molton and brown bubble bath.

I’ve asked for the micro hydro flask. It’s tiny, (takes 200mls) will fit in my bag and is perfectly fine for being out & about for me.

Aveda Miraculous Hair Oil.

Rituals Scalp Scrub

Some big bottles of coffee syrup

Truffle honey to go with all the cheese I plan to eat.

CBD oil (I like Trip Dreams Drops) as it helps me sleep.
