What are YOU getting for Christmas?

[storminabuttercup]

Or what are you asking for maybe that should read?
Parents and grandparents have been asking for ideas and I guess I'm lucky as there's nothing I want. Ideally I'd love kindle vouchers but they won't go for that as it's not a proper present apparently...,
So what would you like?

I really just want vouchers too, I have this argument with my mum every year, she hates them. I think they're the perfect present, I get to choose what I like, when I like. Sorry, not much help!

From parents/In-laws:

DH and I will ask for a canvas for our bedroom, there is a photographer we like, so off to look for a good picture.

From my mum:
no idea yet, we only do small gifts, she lives without a huge selection of shops, doesn't do internet shopping and won't go shopping to the next town.

From DH:
my birthday is beginning of December and I give one wish list and he then decides what I get when.
My Amazon wish list currently holds:
puppy pen for my rabbits
baking tins
decent palette knife
set of mixing spoons
will look for a nice Champneys set

My list is mainly a huge amount of horsey stuff plus a couple of sweatshirts because I always steal DHs, a cheap bracelet I like from NOTHS and a felt picture done of the 5 horses. That's split between birthday and Christmas.

Oh and a nice new pom pom hat

I've got my eye on a lovely new pair of rockfish wellies, so hopefully those!

Maybe a Instant Pot, I don't really need one and it would mean getting rid of my beloved slow cooker but there is nothing on my list thats within a sensible price range

DH and I are going halves on a decent camcorder, our camera is pretty good but takes rubbish film and we (ok I) want to be able to take good videos of our pfb who is due in jan. DH whilst not sure about the need for a camcorder (he thinks phones are fine) is more than happy to agree as it means he doesn't need to panic buy my gift the week before Christmas!

Nan will be giving us a car seat.

No idea about anyone else, I have a feeling baby stuff might feature prominently, first baby in 16 years on one side of the family and first of a new generation so the family are possibly a little over excited!

Probably another pair of Docs and some music or gig tickets. Not sure yet

I wanted gift vouchers so I could treat myself to some new clothes next year (after having baby) but apparently they're not proper gifts!

So instead:

My Gran has bought me a new grey coat from River Island.

From my parents: boots from Mint Velvet, something from Urban Decay, a jewellery box and a jumper that I can wear for late pregnancy/just after birth. We always have new PJs/slippers, our favourite chocolates etc. Plus my dad always gets me some wine which will be my favourite bottle of Malbec and whichever lovely white he surprises me with...which I'll be able to enjoy in late February to celebrate baby's arrival

From SO: I have asked for some kind of spa treatments so I can have a something to look forward in late pregnancy. And/or gift vouchers towards new clothes.

Lush bath bombs
Scarf from white stuff
Maybe a mug from Emma Bridgwater
Diary / stationary from Paperchase
Facemasks
Nail varnish
Yankee candle
Books
Magazine subscription

These are the kind of things I'd like

Charm,safety chain,perfume and a ring

Kindle Paperwhite
Pearl ring
Hotel Chocolat Sleekster
Sheepskin slippers

I have my eye on an Emma Bridgewater radio

I would like anything really

Ooh, I want books, lots of books! Also some wine glasses, a Liberty advent calendar! A couple of scarves, a piece of jewellry maybe, some rosewood calves (but cheating & buying these for ds for his bday)

I'd love tickets for something-esp theatre but any activity really would be good, a cooking class, blacksmith workshop, stone carving.....

Would love:

Kindle Paperwhite (upgrade from basic kindle)
Kindle Vouchers
Jo Malone Miniature Cologne Collection

All I'll probably get is a great big meal to cook and the cleaning up afterwards

I'm getting smellies and candles from my family
Dh is paying for a champneys spa break for me which I'm doing just before Christmas!

I want an argyle sweater , pink and grey .
I like my Beauty things before Christmas to get best use from them.

Usually earrings here
Maybe a handbag

Never much I want either tbh.

This year - a bottle of EA Green Tea perfume - my five year old bottle is almost empty, two reeds for my loom and some bobbins for my spinning wheel (all things I am not buying myself so there is something on my list).

A play pen
A high chair
A Yankee candle
And a bottle of baileys
All would be appreciated

Some perfume
Some nice chocolates
Some new ear rings. Nothing fancy, just something dressy i could wear for parties.

My parents normally get me a perfume set and 50 pounds. Id been saying I'd love a new (well, second hand but new to me) dining table as ours is only a four seater and we need a 6/8 one. They've offered to give me the 50 pounds early so I can have the dining table for over the Christmas period. I'm so chuffed
