Pearl earrings and a blanket crochet kit from attic 24 . The blanket kit is arriving today 😂

Thanks to corona we're a bit skint so rather than buying gifts at Christmas time for each other we've decided to have a night away in the new year when we're a bit more flush.

Bought myself some diamond studs this year, feel totally justified after the horrific year of 2020

Dh and I do surprises...but we are both VERY good at buying gifts and always think outside the box. Budget £200.
My adult dcs were given a list to choose from...including cashmere wrist warmers, Neom candle, a particular gin

A framed canvas of my dog wearing military uniform from Crown & Paw. Ridiculous, but I really want one.

Hydrating face masks
A gadget for mounting phone on bike handlebars
New walking boots - mine have seen a lot of miles this year.

@Lazysundayafternoons

My ds7 also got me a diary. He bought it in October and insisted I must get a pink diary as the black one I usually use for work is so boring.

(Slightly ashamed that my 7yo knows how to navigate Amazon to make purchases).

So long as he doesn't know how to take out a credit card then you really need to worry 😂

I know DH has got me some of the new hotel chocolat vegan range. I also suspect he will have chosen a Pandora charm.

I would like something from DD (18) just to show she cares. I suggested a homemade bookmark because I really would like a nice bookmark and I'm not artistic enough myself to make a good one. She has money but I don't want her to spend her money on me, the time means much more.

Eccentric 01
Weighted blanket

newnewnewbuild · 28/11/2020 13:40

These are lovely!

I've only asked for those two things in particular as I know I'll use them. I generally prefer experiences/going away somewhere as a present but obviously can't do that at the moment.

My DH is the opposite though, he likes "stuff" (ie what I think is junk tbh!)

I’d love a Neom candle
Nice bubble bath
Some
Cody PJs and socks

Icenii · 28/11/2020 23:00

Mirabelle pendant necklace and a sunrise clock. Been a lover of winter for 42 years but this year the dark is suddenly a slog.

LisaLemon · 28/11/2020 23:23

On my list is ...

Cashmere slim fit joggers
Scamp & Dude joggers
Leather belt
Anything Lalique
Georg Jensen mobius ring
Fleurs de Paris roses
Hotel chocolat hamper

I think I'll get all of the above bar the Lalique but I always throw it in there on the off chance. I collect it but have bought it all myself to date

Pipandmum · 28/11/2020 23:26

I am getting myself two candlesticks from Anthropologie I saw in the US last Christmas and are on sale in the website.
I'll ask my son to get me a gift box of body lotion etc- there's an old fashioned pharmacy that sell gorgeous sets.
That's it. No hubby or parents so that's why I buy myself something.

Carouselfish · 28/11/2020 23:32

Hell bunny dresses, Valentino perfume and fuzzy socks. And some silly The Good Place merch that my 5 year old can say is from her!

Charlottejade89 · 29/11/2020 08:51

A new coat from my mum, dressing gown from my sister and a new pair of vans and perfume from dp Smile I usually ask for clothes as I don't usually have much spare money throughout the year for buying clothes but I'm due to give birth christmas week so I have no idea what size to get

hopeishere · 29/11/2020 09:05

No idea! Like a pp I treat myself on a regular basis!!

I've to give DH a list but I can't think of anything. Possibly some ferm champagne glasses.

TeaOneSugar · 29/11/2020 09:33

I've asked DD for slippers and DP for perfume, my Mother is getting me a lamp and a jewellery box.

DP wants to buy me an expensive piece of jewellery but it's not an engagement ring so I've declined.

junglepie · 29/11/2020 09:36

Im getting a new garmin venu watch from dh. (already purchased in black frinday deal) soooo excited Grin
also a pair of earings and a book from dc

RJnomore1 · 29/11/2020 09:47

I have asked for a bottle of harris gin, a coat cape and the hamper box from shite company which has a winter candle and cashmere socks. I’ve seen some beautiful Silver rings too and they’re only £30 so I wI’ll get myself them with the money mil with give me (she hates present shopping so 22 years in I know what’s coming lol)

IDontDrinkTea · 29/11/2020 09:51

New towels after DH managed to wash our existing ones with bleach instead of fabric conditioner 🙄

ShipshapeShore · 29/11/2020 09:56

@MaudHatter which blanket are you making? I made the Sweet Pea one recently and it was gorgeous. I want to do the Moorland now!

I would like a L'Occitaine candle, the new Joe Wicks book, a nice bar of soap, a pair of Turtle Dove wrist warmers and some tarot cards. I need to tell DH actually Grin
