DH keeps asking what I want but apart from earl grey tea bags and soap I honestly don’t want anything!

New watch. I've been wearing dd1ms old and battered baby g one for nearly a year and it looks ridiculous on a nearly 40 year old woman.
And I like a puffs jacket in the Hush catalogue but it's quite spendy.

All I want is some fluffy boot style slippers but every Christmas I ask and every Christmas I get some hilarious novelty slippers and I nearly die every time I walk downstairs!

In fantasy land - the mulberry Millie.

In the real world - a sewing machine

@Bunnybigears send him - I assume it’s an OH that does this, if not, apologies - links to five or six different pairs you like the look of, with express instructions to get you a pair from that specific selection. Takes all the guesswork out of it for him, with no risk of disappointment, but you still get a surprise.

Ninkaninus · 03/10/2019 18:00

@legalseagull You have excellent taste. I love the Millie (can’t decide between the multicoloured one or the yellow).

tempnamechange98765 · 03/10/2019 18:02

New sunglasses (my old raybans are well loved and battered!)
New gym trainers
Nice make up
New jammies

Bunnybigears · 03/10/2019 18:03

Ninkaninus oh I do better than that I point out the exact ones and even offer to buy them and give them to him to wrap but he finds his way far more hilarious Confused

BentNeckLady · 03/10/2019 18:03

A puppy
A pair of decent secateurs
A floor length fleecy dressing gown

AppleBlossomTimeNow · 03/10/2019 18:05

Doc Marten boots

Ninkaninus · 03/10/2019 18:06

I’d be highly unimpressed with that. Once is maybe ok if you both enjoy jokes like that. More than once is just rude, dismissive and actually not nice. I hope you don’t go out of your way to give him really thoughtful gifts of things he actually wants!

Fantie · 03/10/2019 18:08

Mulberry bag and matching purse.
Yankee candle
Apple Watch
Pandora earrings
New make up - Mac etc
New fleece blanket
Barbour jacket

A new running watch, an apple one would be nice
A heated blanket for the sofa
A nice dab radio for the bathroom

I will be lucky to get the blanket.

mangomama91 · 03/10/2019 18:23

Chocolate and nail varnish
But if we had lots of money I'd love lots of dresses and vans (the shoes)

banskuwansku · 03/10/2019 18:24

My birthday is in November so I need to choose couple of things. One present will be a shoulder bag. I am curious what Mugler is doing for Xmas so maybe new fragrance set etc.

Ninkaninus · 03/10/2019 18:29

For anyone who loves fragrances but budget doesn’t run to very expensive ones, I highly recommend you do a try-out at M&S - they’re very nice and very reasonable prices. I don’t buy designer anymore as I’m more than happy with what I can get at M&S, and I get a compliment whenever I wear them!

danmthatonestakentryanotheer · 03/10/2019 18:38

A proper birthday cake instead of a Christmas cake with a candle stuck in it.

Willow2017 · 03/10/2019 18:39

Nikaninus
Thanks we have a small M&S nearby but I am never in it. Will check it out tomorrow😀

@danmthatonestaketryanotheer is your birthday xmas day!? My son's is and i always make sure he gets a proper birthday cake and presents wrapped in birthday paper, i am always asking people with xmas day birthday what they hate/get annoyed about so that we can try to avoid it with DS.

I want a new bed for xmas, a smart winter coat and some boots.
