It's for me.Smile

A family member has declared defeat, and is looking for ideas for what I might want. I don't have any.Shock

Budget is around £50 but I'm told it's flexible. I don't want clothes or make-up. I tend to be cash rich but time poor, so don't really want for stuff often. Can't think of any experiences that I'm dying to do within that budget. There is a play that I'd like to see next year, but the tickets are too expensive. New year's resolution is to be more organised, so a magic wand would be helpful!

What shall I ask for? What do you all want?!

I’m 47 and I’ve asked for a soda stream and one of those plank things you put over the bath to put your book and your wine on.

I’d also quite like theatre vouchers or a voucher for a full body massage or something from the radical tea towel company

Wow, there are loads of fabulous ideas here, I'm going to take my time to peruse all of the suggestions. Thanks everyone!

It may not be in the spirit of things, but why ask someone to spend £50 when you don't really want for anything? I'm cash rich time poor too and have asked for only a bird feeder from in-laws. They'd happily spend more but I'm happy for them to just take us out for a meal.

I think this is an entirely valid point, but I have already suggested some smaller items and/or a charity donation. The thing is, my relative really wants to buy something "nice" for me - it matters to her, and she can afford it, but she wants to get something that I will genuinely like so she has asked for some ideas. There are lots of those on this thread, so hopefully I'll find some inspiration! 🙂

I'd love a bottle of Lagavulin 16.
Or a nice diary.
