It's only about a month away to the big day, and relatives keep asking what I want for Christmas. I don't knoooooow, I need inspiration!
What are you wanting for Christmas this year? All ideas welcome, especially cheaper ones as I'm not pushed to ask for Mulberry bags or diamond ring type budgets... Grin )

I'm hoping for VW seat covers for my van and an electric aromatherapy oil diffuser .

Silver jewellery rather than diamonds? Books? Leather goods but not Mulberry, obvs (belt, gloves)? winter hat? Tech accessories for phone/tablet/music. Errm.... Any hobbies or interests that you need things for? Does your favourite scent need topping up? Or cosmetics, if you wear them? Vouchers?

Theatre tickets?

Cookingongas · 28/11/2015 01:33

Cookbooks
Bath salts
A pasta machine

Tartyflette · 28/11/2015 01:35

Gym passes? Or tickets to sporting activity (spectator or participant).
i'm coveting a super-soft alpaca hat i saw online....

Driving experience day? (Tank or Ferrari)

'Friend of' museum or gallery membership for a year, eg the V&A, Royal Academy. (Apologies, a bit London-centric, but local or regional museums may well do them too)

New pjs

LBOCS2 · 28/11/2015 10:02

I'm getting a White Company dressing gown from DH.

No idea what else to ask for. That was all my inspiration used up!

MrsGradyOldLady · 28/11/2015 10:28

I always ask for scented candles as I love them and get through quite a lot. Kids buy me them from poundland but my husband will get me them from either imperial or yankee.

I also like posh chocolates (or any chocolate really) Pj's, alcohol - vodka, cava, prosecco or Bollinger from DH.

KitKat1985 · 28/11/2015 12:35

What do you do in your spare time OP? That might be a good starting point for ideas?

WanderingTrolley1 · 28/11/2015 12:39

I ask for smellies from Molton Brown, L'occitane or Lush.

Or vouchers for Selfridges or Debenhams and use them for makeup.

Buttercup27 · 28/11/2015 12:42

I'm asking for camping gear. It covers all budgets as we have nothing, need everything and my family like to do surprises.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 28/11/2015 13:01

I have asked for warm slipper boots and a nice calendar.

MyFriendsCallMeOh · 28/11/2015 13:06

I'm asking for a handmade backgammon set I've found on etsy a bond an ottolenghi cookbook...

DontStopBelievin · 28/11/2015 23:19

Oh, forgot I started this, what was I doing up at that time?! Grin

There's some great ideas on here, I'm liking the idea of a magazine subscription and massage voucher.

Things I like...umm...

  • reading (obsessed with reading, already asked for a book I want though)
  • candles
  • writing
  • watching sitcoms such as Only Fools and Horses and Friends Smile
  • colouring

probably more things I like but gone blank!
