AIBU to ask wtf you want?

[pepsicolagirl]

If someone asked you for 3 gifts ideas right now, what would you suggest?

Beautiful electric wax melter and shed loads of melts
A big crate full of different gins
Some silk pillows

I would like a smart water bottle, an oodie and some adult Disney pyjamas.

I would also like:

• a serrated butter knife
• a wick trimmer
• a pretty box to keep matches in eg Ive seen one like a little house that has a striker pad on the roof

Oodie
A plant subscription
A bottle of vegan Baileys

Trainers
Alcohol
Makeup

Le Creuset casserole set - or just one
Elegant Leather gloves - navy and black - a pair of each.
Huge box of Maltesers

Depends on your budget . . . I can be expensive.

• some books
• a weekend in Paris
• a bottle of Ghost scent

[quote Secondsop]@mrsfeatherbottom I absolutely ADORE them. I’m amazed pretty deskware hasn’t gone crazy this Christmas what with all the WFH, but in fact some vintage paperweight prices have bottomed out.[/quote]
What do you call the ones with the flowers in them - I think they are Italian? My mum had one when I was little.

Georg Jensen Grapes ring (the one with the bunch on it)
Big bunch of dark red and buff roses
Perfume - Philosykos, Timbuktu, or one of my other regulars

Hair straighteners
Half sized gym mat
Turtle Dove cashmere fingerless gloves

Millefiore?

Whenever someone asks me this question I suddenly seem to know absolutely nothing about myself. I am a person with interests and likes and dislikes but can I fuck remember them when asked

This

I start mentally compiling a Christmas list in June (shortly after birthday)
Problem is, if it's something I really want, I get it.
This year - a specific pair of PJs from M&S - I look at them longingly every time I go in and think "but I don't NEED another pair of pyjamas..

After reading a thread on here about Christmas duvets, which I didn't know were a thing, "tasteful winter themed duvet cover" went on the list, with an addendum of 'No bloody elves or Father Christmas ones' - some of those things are scary.
While looking at Christmas Duvets, I came across weighted blankets - I hadn't heard of those before, but I really really needed to try one out then and there, so I got that for myself rather than add it to the list.

Had a lovely gift of hand cream and bath stuff from "& Other Stories" - I'd not had any of their stuff before, it's really good, esp the hand cream

I don’t actually need anything so I’ve asked for surprises

I have just realised though that I’ve got 3 Caithness paperweights that were given to me by a relative over 25 years ago

3 laptops for clinical team at work. They asked due to wave the magic wand which got them their extension leads earlier this year. They don't know that I just popped into argos for those. Can't get laptops for love nor money in nhs just now

Christmassy PJs- can't seem to find any traditional looking ones, only ridiculously tiny shorts or stupid 'loungewear'

A massive stoneware mug big enough to require 5 teabags for a decent brew

Jonathan Adler NHS Rainbow Puzzle
Keep warm coffee mug thingy
Perfume

Secondsop I grew up with antique paperweights, my mum had a large collection of really good ones. Sadly worth F all when she died. We kept a few favourites and put the rest in auction

1) I collect glass paperweights so anything pretty off eBay
(2) I also collect decorative eggs

Are you a hoarder?

(3) scented candles will always go down well - not in a boring default gift way - anyone who has ever spent time here knows I light one every evening.

Do you have a fire extinguisher?

Navy trainers by Studio Nicholson
Stella McCartney perfume
Books.

Money for home improvements- I am wfh in a room that really needs decorating and its a very depressing place to spend 40 hours a week.

But as that's not a lovely treat relaxing gift that people like to wrap up, I'm suggesting bubble bath and candles because I also like them and can just save up for some paint....

An oven clean session, amazon voucher, pasta evangelist gift.

@mrsfeatherbottom yes @FangsForTheMemory has it - millefiori.

@ParlezVousWronglais I hoard/collect these two types of items I guess. Although I would say the word hoarding has connotations of an unhealthy emotional attachment, which I don’t have. I do have a fire extinguisher, and I also sit right beside the candle all evening while I watch tv or read.

@Nanasueathome a gifted Caithness was where it started for me.

@Davros your mum’s paperweights would be making someone else very happy now. Maybe me! Some of mine are ones that others have moved on as they’ve edited their own collections.

I had to look up what an oodie is, and it’s in fact the perfect present for someone I needed to buy for, so thanks!
