Everyone is asking me for Xmas present ideas for me and I just don't have a clue.

Nothing

I've got no one to buy me anything

I could give the dcs some money to buy me something but that seems a bit pointless really

Aww, 17 I think you should do that. If they don't have money of their own at least you'll be getting a gift from someone who loves you.

Me (asked on a spur of the moment): something for back garden where you can burn logs, because I love open fire in the winter and there are no fireplaces in our house

He planed: iPad (but I would have to share with him and DC)

What I really want: a niche perfume, gorgeous but eye-wateringly expensive

I have asked for a unicycle every year for the past 10 years or so.....no one ever obliges.

DH is giving me a ring sling, and I'm hoping my parents will get me a wrap sling. What I really REALLY want is to make it to 37 weeks with DC2 and not have another premmie. 37 weeks would be the 27th December, so Christmas Day would do me really!

I was drawn into Waterstones by the Morrissey autobiography. As a teenager in the 80s (the BEST era) I might be tempted to buy this.

A handmade flat cap- I will get this as DH is enraged that I wear his so he gets a cold head :o
Some North Face walking boots- I will get these as I desperately need new boots so will order them anyway, I would just rather unwrap them on Christmas Day :o
The GBBO book- I will get this as I ordered it from the Book People to bump my order up :o

TBH DH is well meaning but a little like a rabbit in the headlights in proper shops and not much better online. We also tend to order exactly what we want or need and I rarely have surprises as I am so fussy

I have asked for the new Agatha Raisin book and Call the Midwife (DVD, have read the books) but I'm quite tempted by reading all of Poirot too! Otherwise I'm pleased with chocolates, smelly stuff, really typically girlie presents (not make up though, very sensitive skin)

Nothing. Parents don't get presents in my family....but dp might stretch to a couple of Lindt reindeers I guess!

I actually prefer it, and treat myself in the boots sale instead.

Toetoe socks, Liz Earle cleanse and polish, DM biker boots, Nashville CD Grin
I may have already ordered some of these in case older relatives give money towards 'something I'd enjoy' and meanwhile clocking up the overtime to make up the difference, with any unaccounted £s being saved for the sales!

Nothing. I'll probably get £20 from my mum and something small from my DS. If I can afford it, I'll get myself a jet and silver necklace.
