What presents would you love to get tomorrow but know you won't? Light hearted

I got my present last month (a heated throw) so I won't get anything tomorrow.

However, I would love to receive a body oil I love. Husband knows I want it and where to get it because he's been looking out for a deal for me to buy it for myself. It's normally £30. He would earn MAJOR brownie points but even if I hadn't already got my present he would never think to buy it for me.

Or an eternity ring but that is never going to happen. Ever.

A 500 euro voucher for Andotherstories. A huge bottle of Jo Malone perfume. A new car.

I’d like a surprise - something that someone has thought that I might like and bought it - rather than asking for a link to XYZ and me taking delivery of it and it being wrapped. Spoiled princess I know. I suppose it’s “thought” actually rather than “surprise”. I’d like someone to take some time to think about what I might like and purchase it; in the same way I do for them. Thought seems to be lacking these days generally.

I'd also love a child free trip on The Caledonian Sleeper.

In reality, even if we could a afford it, my daughter would love it and I'd feel really bad not taking her. Sigh.

A pink 1970 Bella Freud jumper.

I love knitwear but £350 is a bit much even for me tbh. I'd probably even be cross with DH for spending that much if he did get it for me!

OMG I actually got my dream present. I must have dropped enough hints/sent the links!

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you were lucky too! xx

Family to take my job/career seriously.

Your husband has been looking for a deal so that you can buy it for yourself? Why not just buy it for yourself anyway? I don't get it.
