What do you want for Christmas?

[joshandjamie]

My DH wants to know what I want but I don't know. I need new perfume but can't find one I love. I like pretty jewellery and good probably do with a new handbag or lovely boots or just smelly bath soak type things. But just not really sure. So I wondered what you want so that I get inspiration.

I'm with you....I always want perfume ( black xs,Hugo boss orange,and Vivienne Westwood boudoir are my faves) and a box of bombs/soaps from lush.Every year is the same but hey that's what I love receiving.

I would like (if we had more money)

Ghds as mine have jut broken
Slipper boots
Perfume - be delicious
A really nice box of chocolates
Jo m alone candles
A new coat

Phew I found it at last. Someone put up a very similar post a while back and lots of people put on their wish lists. Hopefully it will give you some ideas:

here

My wishlist is...
Jerusalem cookbook by Ottolenghi
New change bag for current ds (and #2 on his/her way)
Hmm thinking about it my list is a bit specific to where I live and probably not that useful for ideas!! - flip-flops, rash vest/spf t-shirt.

I want a new heart rate monitor to encourage me to get fit again post baby.

Also a set of L'Occitane cherry toiletries, inc. perfume, as the scent reminds me of DS's birth (I have the Rose 4 Reines stuff that takes me back to DD's).

Perfume - I love Angel and Victor&Rolf Flowerbomb.
Some gorgeous bedding from Joules.
Benefit they're real mascara

Liz Earle face goodies -cleanse and polish, toner and moisteriser.

If money no object -Ipad!! also new DSLR camera! (as mine dodge since dropping down the stairs!)

A Kindle
Dark grey woolly socks
Chocolate

A Didrikson coat (already bought for me by dm)
A new handbag or failing that a Red Dog Bag Pod in green or red leather

If someone won the lottery before christmas a DSLR camera and an IPAD with retina display

What I would like in an ideal world: Une Rose perfume, a kindle. What I can realistically expect: a new hairbrush.

thanks for that link Alhoamama

In an ideal world, I would like

Russian wedding ring from Cartier (it is 3 platinum, diamond encrusted bands). Not holding out any hope of that one

My perfect perfume. Given that I haven't actually found this yet, I doubt if dh will stumble across it by accident!

A surprise weekend away with dh, to somewhere lovely.

I think I am what might be called high maintenance

DH and various family members ahve asked what I would like for Christmas, items on my list this year are:

Hunger Games dvd
Lush goodies (I love the ceridwens cauldron bath melt and their toner tabs)
Issey Miyake perfume (L'eau d'issey)
New boots (I think DH is getting me these)
Benefit perfect 10 blusher and mascara

My sisters will most likely get me the DVD and Lush stuff. My mum usually gives me £50 in a card to spend in the sales, I usually get a book or dvd from DD that DH arranges :)

My Dad usually gets me a nice Guess, Radley or DKNY handbag, he has excellent taste and keeps me in nice handbags.

A Cartier Tank Americaine watch (dream on!)
A Mulberry Daria Handbag and purse (stretching it a bit I think)
A clear glass mixing bowl for my kitchenaid
Hush pyjamas
Socks
A secret potion to enable me to lose half a stone over night.

Gift vouchers for nicer clothes shops than I usually shop in
Like others I'd love some nice perfume but don't know what I like.

Any wellies and bag from Kath Kidson
Any perfume / make up set from Estee Lauder
The audio version of Mirander Hart's recent book (the book is amazing)
A onesie
A faux leather jacket
Any maternity clothes from Mothercare

For all the people who want Perfume but not sure what they want - Estee Lauder are doing a large gift set with all their perfumes in that look amazing. My favourite perfume of all time is Vanilla by Jo Malone. It is pricey - but you cant get better. If you find an outlet (they are usually in Selfridges) you can spend the day trying out all the scents. Vanilla and Rosewater - amazing!

Lush stuff
Smellies
Posh pjs
Slippers
Lancôme eye set
Nice candle
Foody stuff
Usually would say red wine but am pregnant so not this year.
Vouchers/money
Surprises

can anyone recommend perfumes that aren't mega sweet/floral? For example I used to love CK One when it first came out. And more recently have been wearing Issy Miyake but I feel as though I need something new. Everything I smell seems really sweet. I like citrus or light

Joshandjamie - have you tried dolce and gabanna light blue?

thanks will check out the style and beauty link. And no cazza, haven't tried that but I will go have a sniff

A leather satchel
Rose perfume - Royal Horticultural Society / Bronnley
Some nice sketchbooks from Paperchase or similar

I share your taste in perfumes. Try these:

Eau de Givenchy or Eau de Gucci - Both light, fresh classics.
Clarins blue bottle (forget its name)
Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte
L'Occitane Verbena - very fresh and citrussy

Ideal world:
iPad mini.
Perfume, CK Eternity Moment.
Liz Earle: c&p toner and moisturiser.
iTunes vouchers.
iPhone speakers.
Joules and Boden vouchers.
And sleep, lots of sleep!
