My DH and his mother ask me every year what I want for Christmas. They then go and buy that thing or things and I get a little suprise gift from tm as well. Thing is, besides a Scholl express pedi that I am buying myself (To me from me) I have no idea what I want for Christmas. What's on your Christmas list?

Nothing Grin.

Seriously I have more than enough 'stuff' and just don't want anymore.

Fortunately my parents and I have agreed to no longer exchange gifts - we go out for a nice meal, soemthing like that.

What I would really like is someone to organise for my car to be valeted, not just say 'yeah of course, go and get it done' but for someone DH to take the car and get it valeted.

Or a decorator to some painting would be nice. Grin.

DH already got me a laptop, because the screen on my last one died and I can't function without one to keep track of my obsessive lists and spreadsheets life.

My parents generally get me a voucher for somewhere that I can buy nice clothes for the kids. I like being able to not worry about the price : )

I don't want anything else, I've done huge amounts of decluttering in the house this year and I don't want more crap coming in!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 18/09/2013 20:35

I order my presents (on the joint M&S card or joint account) :

Sooo.

Liz Earle perfume on order
Some nice M&S boots (ordered on the 20% off day. Grin )

I want a Uniqlo coat but DD was very scathing (as she slipped the XS one onto her tiny torso and declared there was room for growth) Envy

Might get my hair done.
And some nice smellies.

Can't really think of anything else..........

I got a food processor for my birthday one year pickle, best present I ever got! I use it almost every day, and reckon it'll last me at least 10 years. I love it.

SupermansBigRedPants · 21/09/2013 15:58

I honestly don't know. I usually give dp a list of 5 or so things and he buys them/gives me the money oh the romance I actually hate it, I wish he'd pay enough attention to me to know what to buy me/little things I'd like. I know that there aren't all that many men or women who do this though. He's good at everything else just not listening gifts.

Reastie · 21/09/2013 16:50

Kindle case, back massage voucher, kindle vouchers Dr Hauskha, Molton Brown and L'Occitaine bits...that's as far as I've got so far

ShadeofViolet · 21/09/2013 17:25

DH and I onloy get small things for each other. I have asked him for Antonia Fraser's new book on the 1832 Social Bill and some Neals Yard hand cream.

The only other person that buys for us is my Dad, and I will probably ask him for TK Maxx vouchers.

Perfume always nice.
KitchenAid.
Digital radio for kitchen (funky, retro kind).
New coat (waterproof, maybe Merrell).

HappyAsEyeAm · 21/09/2013 19:49

Last year and the year before, my parents gave me boots. Flat brown ones last year and flat black ones the year before. I live in boots all winter and they have had fantastic wear. This year, would like a contribution towards tall grey uggs, as I know that my parents want to spend a certain amount of money.

There is very little I need, and I am lucky enough to be able to buy myself things whenever I need them (within reason!). As I get older, I feel bad about people spending their money on me, when they have less than I do.

I would be happy with some chocs and a bottle of radox.

BeaLola · 21/09/2013 21:46

I like surprises and would rather DH, DB & My dad just bought some little things as i can never think what I would like and like a few people on here have said if i see something i really like i buy it through the year for myself
Id rather they spent the money on my DS.

But if i could influence them ! I would like a basket/planter of blue hyacinths - love the smell

An iPad case
A pair of cashmere bedsocks
