What do I want for Christmas?

So DH, my Mum and my sister are all asking now me for birthday and Christmas present ideas and I’m totally stuck!
I’m really lucky that if I genuinely need something I can go out and buy it and can occasionally treat myself but this is the first year that I’m really struggling to come up with things.
I have a 2 year older DS, am pregnant and work full time so my hobbies have died a death. By Christmas the new baby will be here and I’ll (hopefully) be breastfeeding so doesn’t really seem any point in getting clothes I’ll only wear for less than a year. I rarely wear make up or perfume, don’t have space for my household ornaments and will probably spend the next year reading books one handed on my phone rather than proper books.
I’ve asked DH for an eternity ring so that’s his main one covered but other than that all I can come up with is PJs, slippers and a gardeners diary!
What do other people consider little treats that would make them smile when they opened them? I really don’t want my family to waste money on things I don’t want and we all enjoy giving gifts so if I don’t suggest something they’ll guess!

I would second a Kindle if you read a lot. I swore I would never have one as I like a ‘real’ book, but I caved in and bought one five years ago. I love it and use it every day. If you are a reader it is great for when you have the baby, one handed, you can read at night (get one with the backlight) without disturbing anyone, you can have new books in a second without going out, very light weight to carry in you bag when you have all the baby stuff, (if you have a chance to read). Fantastic for holidays, load it up before you go, again if you have the chance to read. Will last you for years as well. I have the kindle app on my phone and tablet but an actual Kindle is so much better.
