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?

That's great keeping-how nice. I love gumtree for furniture or eBay if I was in the mainland. I LOVE buying furniture!

iklboo - can you tell me about Gin making - could be a great gift for someone I know.

I've asked for a new work dress :)

Formerly - not tried it yet. The still is from Amazon & works with a spirit burner.

The gin making experience is at a new distillery in Manchester.

Same as always, surprises
That's what I love about Christmas and my birthday (January)
I have never been disappointed

FormerlyCatherineDeB · 14/10/2016 17:57

Thanks, the person I am thinking of has been on the Gin Experience in Manchester!!!!

The gin making I have read about is simple, a little tin of herbs and juniper to put in a bottle of vodka for a day or two.

Off to look at Amazon.

Ooh great thread! I always say I don't know but thanks to this I am going to ask my girls for some Doc Martens!

We're going to Florida next year so all my presents will be dollar/voucher/ticket related.

However, normally I get philosophy or Benefit stuff, clothes from lovely shops (or vouchers ARE acceptable as I can get more for the voucher amount), candles, baking stuff (including nice sprinkles etc not just tins), books, DVDs or CDs

troubleinstore · 14/10/2016 21:02

Orla Kiely towels and..... not sure what else yet...

Voteforpedr0 · 14/10/2016 21:14

I would love some vouchers for new skincare and make up products, I will however end up with cash that I'll spend on the dc.

Wildlife 'trail' cameras for my garden.

dementedma · 15/10/2016 12:57

Perfume
Alisa Craig print
Pjs

pinklemonade84 · 16/10/2016 21:35

dh is buying me a new camera and a few smaller items as surprises Smile

For gin lovers in the South of England, the experiences at the Bombay Sapphire distillery in Hampshire are supposed to be good.

ample · 16/10/2016 21:53

A new watch (one I have my heart set on).
A beanie and scarf set that is too expensive for me to justify the cash

ridingsixwhitehorses · 16/10/2016 22:06

The things I want are house presents really - a coffee machine a new set of saucepans and some fluffy big bath sheet towels.
