My birthday and Christmas fall within days of each other. Usually I can think of something I want. This year... Not a thing! I've the lovely predicament of having a great family who are messaging daily to see what I want.

I love jewellery, have plenty of it.
I don't wear much makeup but am open to suggestion.
I've loads of perfume, love it don't need any til next year.
Other than a Christmas tin of celebrations I'm not a massive chocolate fan.

What do you want?
Someone mentioned a chillys bottle on a post. I think I'll ask for one. That's it!! Hit me with some wish lists please. All suggestions gratefully received.

Donations to a charity in your name?

ThreeLittleDuckies · 05/12/2019 02:41

I'd like some fancy soap, a new hot water bottle cover and a new purse.
If there's nothing you need or want, I'd opt for charity donations.

Our car is poorly so I would be happy for it to be fixed 😂

A nice bottle of wine
A gift card for a nice restaurant, I love eating out
Diptyque candle

How about gift vouchers for your favourite shop? A lovely new scarf? A really beautiful eyeshadow palette which you wouldn't treat yourself to.

Tiredmummyof3 · 05/12/2019 10:47

Restaurant vouchers without a doubt I would ask for! Always a treat especially for those months when things are abit tight and you can still.manage to get out and have a treat!

DuchessAnnogovia · 05/12/2019 10:49

Book tokens or amazon vouchers are always on my wish. One can never have too many books!

CurbsideProphet · 06/12/2019 08:06

On my list:
A new purse (not one of those massive ones in high street shops).

Some kind of microwaveable hot water bottle with a lovely soft cover.

Toiletries from one of the organic companies I buy from (everything else flares up my eczema).

Vouchers for the little salon I go to regularly for a massage.

Chocolates from Booths.

Someone to pay for my car to be cleaned inside. Valeted? I wouldn’t spend my own money on it but the car is a biohazard.

Vouchers for a massage/hairdressers so I can get a 12 week blow dry.

Someone to pay for Netflix. I haven’t got it and Would love it.

neverbreaks · 06/12/2019 18:25

I’d happily let someone pay for the house to be deep cleaned. Not a glamorous present, but something that is needed (my house isn’t grotty 🙈), and would make me happy!

Equimum · 06/12/2019 18:57

I don’t really get presents, but if I did, I would ask for:

  • Scandi felt slippers
  • turtle doves wrist warmers
  • sewing machine class
  • nice PJs
mrsbyers · 06/12/2019 19:04

My list includes a weighted blanket , full body pillow , a meat slicer , Herschel backpack and matching lunch bag and Percy pigs

Hanging pod (swing/seat) from Homebase

Thank you all. Some excellent suggestions. I'm dying to know what's so good about a weighted blanket??? I've never heard of them.
I've had some great ideas. My car is going to be valeted and I've picked out a cashmere jumper. @Equimum hope you get something lovely.

I'm making peace this year with the idea that presents don't have to be things I actually need.
I love a couple of the White Company candles. Other brands are almost as good but not quite as good so I have put White Company candles on my list although they seem quite decadent.
I enjoy beauty treatments even though I have quite good skin so don't need facials and am of the opinion that no one needs a manicure or pedicure. As I enjoy having them, beauty vouchers are on my list.
I'd also like a cashmere scarf. Again, I don't need it but it would be heavenly.

@cobwebsoncornices I got a cashmere scarf last year. I forgot how absolutely beautiful it feels until I took it out again this week.

PJs, cookery books, nice coffee, house plant.

Fcukthisshit · 08/12/2019 18:23

Aldi are selling a heated throw. I’d really really love one. I’m going to treat myself to one if I get any Christmas money. Other than that, I like reed diffusers (rituals ones are a particular favourite). I always like pj’s / fluffy socks / slippers and marshmallows Grin

Weighted blankets are known to help people get better quality sleep especially if they have joint pains as the light pressure disperses the aches and pains

Updated my hot water bottle myself, but I feel I need a weighted blanket now... Didn't know they existed until this thread 😂
