New perfume
Terrys choc orange
Hypnobirthing book
Shower oil (preferably l'occitane)
A new nude lipstick
There's always a wish list of sewing patterns/ little bits in my head too.

I'll suggest the first 3 to DH and then my family always asks for lists so I'll suggest the last 3 to them.

I'm buying myself a new tablet for Xmas and that's all I really want, nothing else.

goose1964 · 16/11/2019 23:16

So far I've struggled to come up with a fit bit type thing and that's it.. I still need to make a list for my kids and both lots of parents.

Yestermo · 16/11/2019 23:19

Honestly not a lot. I need some stuff so maybe some socks and a jumper.
Wouldn't say no to some nice chocolates

WagtailRobin · 16/11/2019 23:46

I would like...

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

I have a Nominations carrier bracelet (I bought myself in a sale months ago) but have never worn it or bought any charms, so I have asked for a couple of these charms too from other siblings.

My mum every year makes me a massive hamper with all my favourite make-up products, it saves me a fortune through out the first half of the year and she wraps it all up so beautifully, it's items I use from Urban Decay etc.

She will also buy me new nice pyjamas, alcohol and some smaller bits etc and she always gives me some money too. I'm not really "into" much except hand made Sterling Silver jewellery, make-up, books and alcohol.

cricketmum84 · 16/11/2019 23:57

I would like some nice warm fluffy slippers, alll the gin, not too fussed about chocolates. Only other things I've seen were a salt lamp that I've wanted for ages but then read about how it can poison cats so changed my mind. And there is a really lovely eye palette from Avon that's about £20 that I am currently coveting. I don't really need anything as I tend to just buy stuff as I need it?

FiveNightsAtMummys · 16/11/2019 23:58

Crosstrainer, dressing gown and chocolates.

MamaWeasel · 17/11/2019 00:04

I read that as "cross-dressing chocolates" Blush

wineandcatsandlego · 17/11/2019 00:06

Me and DH had this discussion earlier, and both said we didn't want anything. And both meant it! For many years we had the running joke where I'd say I didn't want anything, but we both knew I'd be devastated if didn't actually get a small something (he'd always check a list I write in my notes section on my phone for little bits I liked that I would save up for out of my wages) but this year with the baby now here we're in agreement of nothing! We'll always do the 'new pants and socks' presents as his are always holey and I adore socks (Primark and the more colourful/jazzy the better!). Just gone are the years we'd make lists for the other, jewellery and alcohol and just.... STUFF we didn't actually need. More than happy to spend our money on DS and DSD from this year out Smile

A day where my ex does not call or text or visit me to dish out verbal abuse would be fantastic.

BarbedBloom · 17/11/2019 01:07

People pick bits from my list but I don't expect it all.

Hardcover copies of a few books, e.g. illustrated Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman.
Sara Miller tea set bits.
Vinyl of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.
Bamboo socks
Silicon baking sheets

We don't have children and don't have huge families to buy for so me and DH tend to treat each other a bit:)
Sleek solstice highlight palette
Russian red mini lipstick from Mac
3d model kit of a greenhouse
W7 palette that is supposedly a dupe for the Huds desert rose palette.

BarbedBloom · 17/11/2019 01:08

Weird, above posted strangely as originally the list was one

M&S hoody loungewear dress for trolloping round the house in

New running trainers and a running hoodie (one with pockets)
Perfume
I am getting some beautiful new black biker boots
Slipper socks

Actually I think that's all I want really. I doubt I'll get the running stuff, probably just buy it myself in the January sales. I usually like a nice bottle of luxury bath oil but sadly can no longer use any fragranced bath or shower gel.

smemorata · 17/11/2019 09:38

A book from Persephone books - a surprise, but one I haven't read yet.

thethoughtfox · 17/11/2019 10:47

Cashmere socks
Gin goblets and fancy gin - I have literally just discovered I actually like gin if it has flavour after having Boe Violet at a wedding. Any recommendations would be great.
Givenchy handbag
New make up brushes and Beauty Blender
Angel Muse or any new Gourmand fragrance
Face masks

Pepperwand · 17/11/2019 15:47

Boodles mulberry gin is really nice, I've been given a bottle a couple of years in a row.
