What do you want for Christmas?

[CaseStudyResearch]

I’m pretty much all set for presents for the men in my life, but struggling for the women, plus myself!

What are you hoping for for Christmas?

I want vouchers for our local craft shop. You can buy fabrics but also use them for courses. I gave DH a course for his birthday (cooking not craft) and he loved it.
Also love the usual basics - pjs, slippers, bubble bath, scarf etc

Something pretty from Oliver Bonas

Some time off from the baby

Some really great chocolates from Dark Sugars

I'd love one of those pressure cooker things that people talk about on here but I can't remember the name of!

Aside from peace on earth and good will to all men I would like:
Nightwear
A larger cafetière
Lush stuff
A wool scarf
A wildlife photographer of the year diary
Neals yard handcream
I’m sure there are other things, but any of that would be amazing.

My mum is getting me a new pillow, which is quite nice.

I would quite like some perfume. I like the chanel ones. Also a particular bangle on etsy.

A dressing gown
Some nice pjs
Perfume (got a shortlist of about 5 but probably won't get any)
A nice scarf (I have millions but can never have too many)
A beauty advent calendar
My fave shampoo, conditioner and detangling spray
A diffuser for my hairdryer and new nozzle as the old one broke
Christmas Eve box- wish someone would do one for me! With some naughty bits in there... Gin fudge and chocolate covered coffee beans and the like... Plus all the fare I get for the kids.
A digital camera.
A new phone.
Some ankle boots.
Some pandora charms.
A st Christopher
A ring as I can't get used to not wearing one after leaving my ex and getting rid of my engagement ring. My hand has felt naked since.
Oh, and a new watch.

I will probably get a couple of books, a few cards and a voucher if I'm lucky...

Plus if I'm bought one more purse I may loose my mind! I have a draw full...

Perfume - Chanel
A painting
Books
Lego
I’ve already got my Christmas present from my husband . I put down a deposit on a grandfather clock and he gave me the balance the day I went to collect it .

Perfume, JM peony suede blush.
A necklace to match a bracelet I got last year.
Something else that I have forgotten.

I usually can't think of anything I want or need except yet another pair of docs but this year I really want a new record deck.

I have regular facials and eyelash extensions. The lady who does them says the salons biggest issue is people booking a treatment then not turning up as it's a luxury they can't afford at Christmas/ January
So I'd work out where they go and buy them a voucher for there

I really want some Show Beauty hair products and (I'll never get it but) a Strathberry tote handbag!

A specific perfume/edt from l'occitaine.
New ceramic and adjustable salt and pepper grinders
Proper waterproof bike panniers for commuting

Something nice I didn't have to pick and order myself. I'm really not fussed, a little luxury, earrings or box of posh chocs would fit the bill.

Some great ideas here. I think I’m going to make a list and distribute between DH and my parents.

I’ve ordered some Molton Brown shower gel and bath oil with 25% off. And I weirdly want a cheese board

Cash for some personal training sessions
Vouchers for my kindle
Beauty salon vouchers
Cash for clothes
Decent headphones
New phone

My fantasy present is a weekend away all organised, so I don't have to do a thing bar packing my bag. That will never happen though...

Exploding kittens.
New lanterns.
Royal copenhagen china

Ok... I really need to know what an exploding kitten is...

I would like a nice journal to turn into a bullet journal for next year. Some things i wouldn’t buy myself like fancy toiletries or everyday jewellery. I would love some new art for the walls and a curling wand. I also have a sample perfume kit from 4160 Tuesdays on my wish list. My DH is great at gift buying so am sure I will be happy whatever I get. In fact, I am actually hoping above all else he will draw or paint me something like he did last year

@IAmGrootGrootGroot it is a card game. Think you can get from Amazon. Lots of fun

I'd really like a travel coffee mug, pj's, a merino or cashmere cardigan that shuts the waist, nice grey socks that will look nice poking out above ankle boots. And some stuff from lush. And a haircut voucher. I'd also like a big voucher for my favourite shop and some quirky silver jewellery.

I've only asked for the coffee cup though!

What I would like is out of reach - a Chanel bag 😁, it ain’t happening.

Reduced funds this year in Chez Adora so I have instructed the DC to stick to my frugal options, coffee beans and a box of chocolates.

DH has bought me a silk scarf, greatly reduced in an outlet, and a bag, also reduced.

I would like-

Clarins skin care
Perfume
Jo Malone candle
Jeans
Shoes
