Size 8 jumpers (lost weight from size 12)
A nice mug for work.
Man Booker prize shortlisted books.

But DH doesn’t think these ideas are “proper presents” so im following for inspiration.

Calmate · 10/12/2020 23:17

I've just read the thread, and there are some gorgeous ideas, what lovely taste you all have !!

tinglymint · 10/12/2020 23:32

Perfume, fleecy pyjamas and lush bath bombs! I'm easily pleased.

Shakti mat
Spin bike
Spa vouchers

I'd also love a telescope but didn't think of that until I had written the above and don't want to forfeit any either 😁

user019384 · 10/12/2020 23:44

I just realised mines could be pretty expensive and I was more thinking what I'd like rather than expect to be bought 😂

Iamthewombat · 10/12/2020 23:46

Anna Sui black blusher

I was intrigued by this. And relieved to note that it turns red on application!

A PP mentioned a ‘fly press’. I had visions of something similar to a flower press, only for pressing flies. I admit that my curiosity was piqued. Then I googled and found out that it was a piece of equipment for metalwork!

cleowasmycat · 10/12/2020 23:46

I would love some nice pjs, cotton so not too hot. Any links?

PontiacBandit · 10/12/2020 23:47

I'd be happy with some wax melts, bath oils, soaps.

FabulouslyFab · 10/12/2020 23:55

I’d love someone to take stuff to the tip for me (I don’t have a trailer)
Someone to help paint the stairwell (it’s very high!)
Help decluttering my craft room (I keep things ‘just in case!’)

  • alas my three adult children would rather buy me something which is very much appreciated, but I would be delighted if they could just give me some ‘time’
UrghThisIsHard · 10/12/2020 23:57

@cleowasmycat If white or blush pink is your thing, check out The White Company. Saw some lovely ones there a week ago.

Lurleene · 11/12/2020 00:40

The new book by Dick and Angel
William Morris patterned blinds for my bedroom
Chris Hemsworth

eachtigertires · 11/12/2020 00:50

I think I’m fairly easy to buy for but I guess my top three things would be -

-help with and gift cards towards my DIY projects (my DH will probably consider leaving me if I start anything else without finishing the ones I already started...)

-new hoody, preferably red with small or no logo

-paddle, pfd and roof rack for my kayak that I impulse bought over the summer when I was 8 months pregnant

( but really I’d be happy with plants/seeds for garden or house, books, gift cards for any outdoors type store or tack shop, dvds/box sets of favourite tv shows and movies, nail polish, hiking passes to local conservation areas, under normal circumstances hockey, basketball or baseball tickets)

GlowingOrb · 11/12/2020 00:52

Specific lego sets
Craft supplies
3D printer

I could be much more specific if I had rough budget ideas, but the first 2 on my list hit a wide variety of price points from pocket money to OMg it costs how much
