I would love to know what luxuries you would like for Christmas? As a mum of two toddlers I don’t have anything I really need for Christmas but would like things to make me feel special and are just for me, not to share! Thinking posh chocolates etc. I suspect it will only be my mum buying for me and my DH if I give written instructions 😂

I think also wildflower seeds, and possibly joining some environmental charities like WWF or Hedgehog Trust ... children love these.

Pretty wellies.

From my siblings;
3XNominations charms
2X Thomas Sabo charms
1X Pandora charm
Stacking bracelets from INKA or BLOOM
Books

From my mum;
Money
Nice PJs
Make-up hamper
Books
Alcohol
Few smaller bits and some surprises.

In my family we tell each other what we would like, all adults buy for each other etc. My mum gets me what I ask for but also gets me a few little surprises too, which completely makes Christmas for me, it's the best bit, I'm a big child at Christmas!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/11/2019 00:30

Nice soap
Candles
Posh hand cream
Books, books and more books

BarbedBloom · 17/11/2019 01:03

Makeup. Books. A model greenhouse kit from Robotime, afternoon tea bits from Sara Miller, a cute winter hat, vinyl Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, a little dragon for the garden. New bullet journal for 2020.

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 17/11/2019 08:42

I would really love a voucher for a facial or massage to help me relax after the madness that is year end at work and Christmas prep at home

Postmanbear · 17/11/2019 08:46

Nice PJs are a good shout as is makeup. I also want some new socks.

KTD27 · 17/11/2019 08:50

I want slippers.
Vouchers
Recipe books
Ooh and yes to the nice PJs

WoollyMummoth · 17/11/2019 08:56

To download a virtual stack of books on Christmas Day and have a bit of peace at some point to start reading them!
And the ritual bottle of Baileys that I’ve been getting for the last 30 years. Long may this tradition last.

lornathewizzard · 17/11/2019 09:02

My Christmas present to me this year is a Fitbit Inspire HR, which I bought this weekend cause it was in the sale! DH and I just buy something we want each year because we don't get much chance to guilt free spend the rest of the year.

We do secret santa with the adults in my family and I haven't done a wishlist this year but something like a nice hoodie, or scarf, jammies etc would be super 😊

lornathewizzard · 17/11/2019 09:03

Or books, or games. Or shoes. You get the drift haha

Arrowfanatic · 17/11/2019 09:10

I would love

a new purse,
a better quality strap for my watch as i keep having skin reactions to the one it came with,
a nice quality face cream like Elizabeth Arden
Amazon vouchers to keep me in books for a few months

My husband isnt great at gift buying, but he does try. I dont usually give suggestions but may do this year. I'm just always anxious at appearing grabby.

Cherryrainbow · 17/11/2019 10:41

My mum has said she will get me a new perfume. Either ysl libre or d&g the only one.

My boyf got me tickets for a gig in Cardiff this month, seeing halestorm supported by in this moment and new years eve.

Other than that I really have no idea what to ask for let alone want. Pretty sure my other half is going to get me some of the dvds from my classic hollywood list I'm getting through.

OldBear · 17/11/2019 10:43

Flights (possible)

Or air miles (probable)

A divorce (unlikely to be quite that simple)

And sex with a hot man. (That one definitely won’t be happening, but I can dream right?)

BouquetOfRoses · 17/11/2019 14:18

Would love a massage or manicure voucher

WeCameToDanceWithTheDead · 17/11/2019 15:13

Some new Dr Martens (hoping for a pair from the Lazy Oaf collection earlier this year).
Some new books. I would like some Stephen King ones in particular.
Some nice bath products. Not bath bombs or novelty crap. Dh is quite good at this kind of gift.
An Amazon echo dot thing. I really want to be able to easily listen to music from the kitchen.

HermioneWeasley · 17/11/2019 15:55

Neal’s yard rose beauty balm

Wildflower seeds

Voucher for a massage

MrsElf · 17/11/2019 16:31

A national trust visit with my mum to see Christmas tat done on a grander scale than in the Elves Grotto.
Matching Christmas accessories for my dogs, and a nice enough morning to ponce on the beach naff matching Christmas jumpers RUS.
Picture frames for my ever-growing print collection. (I want new pictures. I have new pictures. They can’t go on my walls without frames, so my old ones are still up.)
A cashmere scarf. Crucially, a machine washable cashmere scarf. So luxurious, and having had my old one for several years and several puppies, it is no longer appropriate ‘going out in daylight with humans’ apparel.
New books, ideally accompanied by baileys, biscuits, caramelised nuts and a sleigh load of chocolates.
Baubles. I have enough I will never have enough but I saw some really really expensive nice ones and I have been so good, not buying them for myself already...
New socks.
A black leather bag, but I’m too fussy to not choose one myself really.

Lovemusic33 · 17/11/2019 16:38

Things I would like (but won’t get)...

A new hairdryer
Hotel chocolate (any, I like them all).
Fluffy socks and warm gloves.
A cheese plant
A greenhouse
Earnings
Friends Lego set

PhantomErik · 17/11/2019 16:38

Lego friends central perk set
Short dressing gown type jacket
Amazon voucher (for kindle books)
Coconut soap & moisturiser
Vego bars (amazing dairy free chocolate)
Booja booja truffles (see above Grin )
Wrist warmers
Slippers
Divergent boxset
Downton dvd (if it's released by then)

mamaduckbone · 17/11/2019 18:18

My mil always does me and dh a little bag of lovely surprises which has included:
Perfume
Nice pencils
Socks
Rococo chocolates
Earrings
She has very good taste - it's a real treat as I don't really buy myself nice things and dh and I often buy each other something that we need, like a new coat, so that's not a surprise.

Constantbronchitislaryngitis · 17/11/2019 18:22

I don’t have a Christmas list
I’d love my husband to choose me a really nice bracelet or earrings
We’ve been together nearly 20 years and he’s not much of a present giver
He thinks our daughters have way too much and complains every Christmas about it
Really irritates me!

MNOverinvestor · 17/11/2019 18:24

These www.bose.co.uk/en_gb/products/frames.html?mc=05_PS_FR_BO_00_GO_&gclsrc=aw.ds&&mc=mc=05_PS_FR_BO_00_GO_&gclid=CjwKCAiA_MPuBRB5EiwAHTTvMdnMhH5W2DKEsr8stfe741oICz1KrmhiEyIF_IXLxG-wVyClOfA-ExoCIuIQAvD_BwE are bloody brilliant - nobody (even your children/husband/parents) will know that you're listening to music or the radio when you're wearing them...

Mayvis · 17/11/2019 18:29

I would like:

The new Urban Decay honey eyeshadow palette.
Dock and Bay beach towel and hair towel.
Lush Snow Fairy solid soap.
Givenchy L'Interdit perfume.

Greaterthanthesumoftheparts · 17/11/2019 18:35

My dad bought me the link bracelet from this set for my 40th and i bought myself the necklace, i’ve Asked DH for earrings to match for Christmas, they have a few different types so I don’t know what I will get (if anything). He came home through Copenhagen airport today so i’m Hoping it’s somewhere in his bag!!
