If your DH gave you a £200 budget what would you want for Xmas?

[CherryChasingDotMuncher]

Since the kids came along DH and I spend £40-£50 on each other for Xmas but this year his business has done very well and he says that I deserve more than that (hurrah!) and has said to give him ideas of presents total value £200. the problem is I have everything I want materially, I struggle to find £50 worth of stuff usually.

So I thought -
Pandora Charm - £30ish
Perfume - £12 (my favourite is Just Pink by next, I think it’s nicer than any designer perfume)

After that I’m stuck. Help inspire me!

A night away with DH at a luxury hotel
A meal (lunch or evening) with DH at a good London restaurant
Diptyque Baies candle

Me personally, I'd want:
Some Estée Lauder double wear foundation £20
Some comfy but cool skinny jeans from Topshop £40
A couple of jumpers, just from somewhere like Primark or Asda £40
A facial £30-40
A pedicure £25
A few new makeup bits from Kiko, Loreal, Mac £50

I’d ask for mac or CT lipstick, a pair of felted slippers like mahabis, a stand mixer, Aesop exfoliator, a new hairdryer, a wool blanket.

This is some of my actual Christmas wish list, the truth is we are on a strict budget this year and DH and I are spending £50 on each other to get 3 things, one from us and one thing from each of the dc.

I would want a big Yankee candle
A nice scarf
Winter boots
A new piece of jewellery

A new bottle of Jo Malone perfume, some lovely PJ’s, a nice smellies or skin care set, fancy hot chocolate set

Basically things that I don’t have to share with DS or DH!

A bag by Skyravenwolf like this or anything by Sam Cannon Art. Neither cost that much but I'd be so happy.

A Cashmere jumper and a silk blouse instead of my immensely practical-with-dc acyrillic and polyester stuff from primark

A new outfit to wear on xmas day
Recipe book
Gym kit
Luggage
Winter boots
Posh gin
Spa day
Subscription to magazine
Make up
Scarf, gloves, hat
Leather biker jacket
Cashmere socks
Pyjamas/dressing gown/slippers
Coffee table books
Piece of art
Candle
Bath stuff
Korean italy towels
Cookware
Pay to get ironing or laundry done
I could go.on forever I think

Theatre tickets, a premier inn (on offer) and nice dinner

A £200 gift voucher
Or
A framed print from John Lewis
A new watch
Some Nuxe stuff
A gold bangle
Handbag

I want a year's gym membership and a coat from All Saints.

I'm going to get nothing, since I'm single!

maiden that bag is bloody amazing - I love hares and will be googling that, thank you

I would want a talking Yoda from Build a Bear, some Star Wars lego and something from Neil's Yard Remedies. It's my birthday a couple of weeks before Christmas and I know I'll be getting the stuff on my wishlist because I've seen the parcels DH ordered (excited!)

A new coat
Some Jo Malone perfume
Some lush stuff or smellies of some kind
A big Yankee candle
A voucher to buy some make up

Diptyque candle, perfume, Steve Madden ankle boots, Ghd curler, chocolates, gin, southern comfort, beautiful cashmere jumper - I could blow £200 easy!!

I'd have trouble choosing but I'd go with:
A jumper from Hush or Mint Velvet
A couple of new mugs (Emma Bridgewater or Orla Kiely)
Jo Malone Candle
Zara voucher for new jeans
New casual shoes / boots
New tablecloth or throw for sofa

A couple Californian guinea-pigs (its pointed like a Siamese cat, caramel coloured coat and dark eyes).

But animals are not for Christmas

Winter boots or coat
Brazilian blow out
A couple of jeans and tops

Art or jewellery, I think. But take your time choosing it. I'd struggle as well as I don't want stuff either.

Celtic sheepskin slippers are good choice as well.

a spa day - wonderful!

Tickets to see Michael McIntyre

New boots and a keyboard.

Kindle, a watch, books, some beauty/bath products, magazine subscription, a monthly beauty box type thing. Tickets to a show, yearly subscription to a cinema. Audible subscription. Fancy drink/food.

A bottle of Penhaligon's Luna perfume, some slippers from Celtic & co, and if there's any leftover stuff from Lush and a Woodwick candle :)

A nice watch, if not a new morning robe and slippers with pjs

That's our budget for each other this year.

I've asked for:
New coat (£100)
Kindle (mine died last week) (£60)

And then I've asked for a surprise - the last time I did this, he went way off budget so have told him to stick within this time.
