I have seen a lovely scarf on a recent trip to Edinburgh. I don’t normally care much for presents but I have requested this from dh. It’s a bit more than I would spend but we’re sensible with money and I would treasure it.

We don’t normally do a tonne of gifts at Christmas as I honestly prefer to spend the money on nice food. But I would be thrilled with the scarf and maybe a bottle of perfume.

What would you like?

For DH and eldest DS to stop quarreling and put their differences behind them.

Op, don't forget there is a very " cheery" happy Xmas board under fun stuff.

As this is obviously a light.hearted thread I will try and keep it light and say, some reflexology /massages and a new cross body bag.

My cat broke a bowl that late grandmother made and I properly cried. My lovely husband is going to get a Kintsugi repair done for me ❤️

That's lovely.

My MIL made me a beautiful sculpture of an elephant (my favourite animal) years ago. I love it. It sits on a window sill amongst a wee jungle of plants. It was broken by our dog and my husband did a kintsugi repair on it and now I love it even more.

  1. To feel.on top.form instead of never feeling well.
  2. Peace and contentment.
  3. A new Kindle
  4. A couple of good books.
  5. A new perfume- no idea which one. Will probably go and buy one for myself.

Not being too demanding i don't think😂

To lie down in a comfy bed with no reason to get out of it until I choose to.

A cast iron welly remover. And an ergonomic mouse for my work computer because right index finger is getting clicky.

We have had a really really shit year topped off with the loss of DD best friend who was killed last month - this year I am just going to happy to have my young adult kids at home with me. My perspective on so many things has changed this year and I usually really dislike Xmas but this year I am determined to be grateful for what I have and that is not material things.

Sorry not a happy post.

💕 I Agree. Life events have a habit of changing perspective on many things.

Adult DC Lego and perfume x what I would really like is new airbuds - holidays in the sun x a stress free life

Summerdoll · 11/10/2025 23:17

Id love some pukka tea and a nice book not sure which one yet. I have everything else I need.

seasid · 11/10/2025 23:20

Definitely been thinking of wanting a kindle. I’ve only ever had physical books - but I’ve got arthritis so an e reader seems like the more practical option. I think I’d read more too as it’s just easy to grab and go.

Thedogscollar · 11/10/2025 23:20

A new wedding ring as my one split and I know I could have it repaired but I thought an upgrade would be nice as couldn't afford a really good one 36 years ago.
If I could wish for anything in the world though it would be a cure for all cancers, MND, MS and Huntingtons Chorea.
