This is a really lovely thread and the only pity is that we might not all get these beautiful stockings...but we should! Even if the very expensive jewellery was left out, most people have asked for fairly modest things. I'm going high end in my fantasy stocking!

I will definitely be dreaming........!

Please can she come a bit early and leave me the ludicrous but beautiful Carolina Bucci jewellery advent calendar?

@CottonHeadedNinnyMug the Glover & Smith spoons are beautiful, I've just fallen down a rabbit hole on that site!

Min bottle of fizz and a nice glass
Travel cup
Diary (preferably in a funky design DH got me a black one from Poundland last year)
Mint dark chocolate
Tangfastics
Nano blocks
Kindle voucher
Warm socks
Nice hot chocolate

(What I'll get... Bubble bath, gingerbread, sweets DH likes, a plain dark diary, a plain travel mug, and maybe a can of cocktail. He means well but panics!)

I can’t think of anything I really want, but maybe:

Books (currently reading WW2 stuff)
Estée Lauder skincare
Pink Marc de Champagne truffles
Oodie (I’d be happy with a cheap fake one)
Possibly a DNA test (I’m still not sure whether an ancestry company holding my DNA is a good idea)
iPad beanbag

That’s actually a big list for someone who doesn’t really want anything.

Monogrammed Notebook and pen
Voucher for spa day
Fiction book
Lingerie
White Company candle
Molton Brown bath stuff
White gold hoop earrings
Cashmere socks
Charlotte Tilbury foundation, eyeshadow palette, magic cream and lipliner
Estee Lauder mascara
Hand cream
Chanel wallet to go with the no 19 bah under the tree!!!

Blimey some expensive stocking wish lists on here!

@Thehollyandtheirony Of course she can - you deserve it!

@tentative3 There's some gorgeous things on there - I covet the Robin on the spade spoon, but I'd be frankly happy with any! I do have a shell shaped light pull from there and it gives me pleasure every day!

@dementedma True, but a fantasy, so I think the expense is ok!

Books
Nice Chocolate
That’s about it.

Actually I could do with more socks too.

A simple silver necklace
Terry’s chocolate orange
