Have you got yourself anything for Christmas?

Thought this might be fun to discuss. I have sorted my Christmas shopping and look forward to everyone opening their gifts…But as I was buying for family, I came across suggestions that would be nice to have for the house.

I ended up buying myself a decorative marble noughts & crosses set from JL. I would never receive this as a gift as it seems like a hidden gem. So as I don’t need to use it urgently, I’m just going to open it on Christmas Day

Not sure if anyone else has done similar with purchases they might normally get themselves between now and Christmas? I also got a new blush, but want to wait until Christmas before using it as it feels more special that way!

Yes, a mini helmet and t-shirt for Lando Norris winning the Formula One World Championship. I've followed that kid over his years at McLaren and am so proud of him winning, I would like something on a shelf that makes me smile every time I pass it and so I've got it for myself!

I have just bought myself some insulated wellies for the allotment. I really really wanted some for ages, and I have the sort of family who ask you for ideas, and then get you something totally different. So, no more having my hopes dashed - the things I really want I get myself.

Yes. I have bought myself two new pairs of trainers, a beautiful smart coat, a few pairs of pjs, slippers, some nice underwear.

A heated throw, I can't wait for it to arrive!
