DH asked me what I want for Christmas and I am stumped. I have enough perfume, dont need/want any jewellery. I have said slippers and pjs, which feels so boring.

What have you asked for?

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 23/11/2020 22:56

new pjs and slippers, the same as i ask for every year. anything else is a lovely surprise and bonus. I dont like to ask for things for myself, it makes me feel really awkward so i never ask for anything

I’m struggling to think of anything I want too, and I’ve got a birthday as well as Christmas. I’m thinking maybe something like a smoothie blender and recipe book? I have asked for a new cotton robe to wear instead of my fluffy dressing gown in the summer, but I don’t know if there’s many of those around at the mo.

RosesAndHellebores · 23/11/2020 23:08

A Toast Dressing Gown
Some neom pillow spray
My choice of paintings (Piper, Passmore)

Duckwit · 23/11/2020 23:08

A Lisa Eldridge lip kit and a weighted blanket.

I was going to ask for the Urban Decay Stoned Vibes palette, but then it was 30% off so I bought it myself and I'm so, glad I did because its amaaaaazing!

Normally I can't think of anything to ask for, or will just buy something I want myself, so it's nice to have a couple of things to ask, for this year Smile

AnnaSW1 · 23/11/2020 23:16

Dyson hairdryer, handbag and Paul a smith chocolates.

HollyandIvyandallthingsYule · 23/11/2020 23:18

I’m going to get myself a Barbour cape in the Jan sales, as well as some chelsea boots.

JaJaDingDong · 23/11/2020 23:26

A warm coat, a cross body bag, and one of those pillows you put between your knees in bed.

Sunbird24 · 23/11/2020 23:41

Ellapaella · 24/11/2020 06:53

Earrings
A le Cruset teapot
Himalayan salt lamp
Ylang Ylang bath oil
Nice pyjamas are always good
Books

RosesAndHellebores · 24/11/2020 06:57

Adds electric heated cushion to list. Thank you @sunbird24. Where do you get them from please?

merlotormalbec · 24/11/2020 07:06

@Sunbird24 I constantly have a hot water as I'm always in some sort of pain. Going to look at this thank you!
On my list is Apple air pods and a backpack

merlotormalbec · 24/11/2020 07:06

And an electric cushion

Sunbird24 · 24/11/2020 08:09

I got mine from Amazon, it’s a Sweet Dreams one, 3 temp setting and automatic cut off timer. Was less than £40 but there are others on there too

whiteonesugar · 24/11/2020 08:45

Yes you absolutely should! Flowers

Sunbird24 · 24/11/2020 09:41

Do it! Makes life so much easier for people who want to buy you things!

ladybee28 · 24/11/2020 12:18

Some things I'd love to open on Christmas Day...

Nice simple graphed notebooks for journaling
SJP's 'Lovely' perfume
Some more sheet music for piano
A snuggly jumper or leather-look leggings
A nicely designed backgammon set
Some new pottery tools / brushes / turntables

My DP is also (technically) TERRIBLE at drawing, but I love the style of terrible he has. I'm secretly hoping for a terrible pen drawing of me and my dog that I can frame and have in the hallway opposite the front door. I have dropped heavy hints but I'm not sure he believes me Grin

WishingHopingThinkingPraying · 24/11/2020 12:24

I want

Smart plugs so I can put my electric blanket on from my phone while still downstairs.

I asked for a big box if hotel Chocolat chocolates.

A large candle for my bedroom.

A 6 month bloom and Wild subscription (monthly flower delivery)

Smart watch

ChoccyJules · 26/11/2020 16:57

This is a very helpful thread. Often DH has an idea but not this year so I have specified which wireless earbuds I would like.

Still need an idea for my Mum to get me, she sent money for my recent birthday so I feel like I already went out (online) and bought frivolous but nice stuff.

FizzyPink · 26/11/2020 17:06

Oohhh I’ve got a long list this year

Laines London fluffy slippers
A grey sweatshirt
Joe Wicks 30 minute book
Aesop hand wash
Olaplex number 3
Big fluffy black scarf
New bed sheets
Nice bubble bath
Kindle voucher
M&S 12 hour sleep cream
Various other skin care/make up bits
Gold cutlery (which I may have already seen in DP’s drawers Blush)
