I'm after a 50mm Babyliss Big Hair and some new bedding, what are you hoping to get?

Boots. Black. Over the knee. Sexy.
But low key enough to wear to work and school run.
Can't wait for sales to start.

Nothing in particular, as I tend to buy for myself during the year and use discount codes etc where possible.

Shoes - next size up for the children, so I have them when they are needed.

Birthday presents - have a few birthdays early in the year, so I try and get something from the sales.

Xmas presents for 2014 - mainly stocking fillers for the children and OH. I pick stuff up throughout the year.

HopelessCaseNumeroUno · 24/12/2013 15:24

I'm looking for birthday presents for the DC too, plus presents for kids birthday parties through the year, but tend to pick those up instore rather than online.

I've already bought Xmas Blush in the sales Cath kidston wellies from amazon and the new disney princess ultimate dream castle from boots both less than half rrp. Was tempted by a very cheap scrabble and wasjig puzzle in sainsbury's yesterday but managed to step away from them as don't really need them!Am on the lookout for a few different items of clothing/footwear for myself and the kids in the sales but really mustn't spend too much.

HopelessCaseNumeroUno · 24/12/2013 16:34

HappyMummyOfOne · 24/12/2013 18:21

Clothes for DS and knitwear and pjs for me as you can never have too many of either. Maybe a few bits for my present box too. Usually tend to get a few bottles of perfume too to add to my others, am getting quite a collection to chose from now Grin

birthday gifts and xmas gifts for 2014

MyNameIsKenAdams · 24/12/2013 19:12

Brown tan leather boots £80 newlook, just been online and down to £35 whoop!

Perfectlypurple · 24/12/2013 19:15

Nothing exciting. Just next years cards and wrapping paper!

ChristmasJumperWearer · 24/12/2013 19:19

Also next year's cards, wrapping paper, Christmas jumpers, Christmassy bits and pieces to stash away for next year.

Beamur · 24/12/2013 19:21

I need new shoes.

Can't be arsed to do the sales though. May wander into my nearest town on Boxing Day and see if there's anything happening (it's not a big place) - got some bargains last year in Fat Face.

Polyethyl · 24/12/2013 19:23

Boots. For walking on muddy coastal paths. Can anyone suggest a good lightweight walking boot?

BigWellyLittleWelly · 24/12/2013 19:35

We need a new every day dinner service, the one we have is from IKEA and about seven years old. The glaze has gone and the plates are too big - given a diet is beginning in January I think some smaller plates would be a good idea!

New walking boots for me (I tend to buy lightweight goretex of any brand but usually berghaus) and a decent high quality raincoat.

DD1 will doubtless need new boots soon. On the whole though 2014 is going to financially be a tough year so a make do and mend approach needed.

DingDongUriGelleryOnHigh · 24/12/2013 19:35

Winter coat. Down preferably, very warm with a hood. I want wind impermeable, waterproof and for it to fit my bottom half like it fits my top half Grin

RubyGoat · 24/12/2013 19:42

Clothes for DD (20m so it's a neverending search) & myself (lost 4st this year, woohoo!)

And, possibly, start on presents for DD & niece's birthdays.

HopelessCaseNumeroUno · 24/12/2013 20:17

That sounds like the search for the holy grail dingdong

Oblomov · 26/12/2013 13:53

WELL pleased Smile

VoldemortsNipple · 26/12/2013 14:49

I've just came back from Next with a nest of tables, two pendant lights, three tops, a pair of thick leggings and a pair of boots. Dd bought herself a lovely black lace playsuit and some knitwear. And we got it all home on the bus! Grin

girlywhirly · 26/12/2013 17:40
