one of These for Christmas!!
I drink so much tea, I wouldn't have to wait for the kettle to boil again!!!
I'm only 28 (ok 29, 2 days after Xmas!)

What do you want for a present that makes you feel old?

A good nights sleep

ShowOfHands · 24/10/2007 17:17

Saw thread title and thought 'I'm 26 and want a teasmade for Christmas', I'm old as an old thing...

multitasker · 24/10/2007 17:27

Comfy slippers and snuggly pjs would make me happy...
And the opportunity to wear them

PersonalItTheClown · 24/10/2007 17:27

I'd happily have a teasmade but the manufacturers idea of a cup is not the same as mine.
I drinks buckets according to my friends!

I want one of these as well.

Follows on from last year when I asked for some saucepans for Christmas, and the year before some nice new towels and sheets .

I am 29 and obviously very sad, and descending into peaceful middle age at a frightening rate.

multitasker · 24/10/2007 17:34

Ooh lovely new soft towels... I'll second that.

loisstella · 24/10/2007 17:36

I suggested to DH we buy a new bed together... I am a sucker for over the top fancy presents (jewelry, watch, holidays you know - luxury) and can't believe I've actually suggested this grown-up, boring present.

kittylouise · 24/10/2007 17:37

Yes, all folded neatly as if with set square, piled nicely on shelf, stand back with arms folded and .

Is my (only) Anthea Turner moment.

Countingthegreyhairs · 24/10/2007 17:43

an underwired corset ...

Bumperlicious · 24/10/2007 17:49

wicker baskets for all my clutter for christmas
a long hot bubble bath
time to read a book

I actually asked for (and received) a laundry basket for my last birthday

ledodgy · 24/10/2007 17:52

I want a filled spice rack.

Indith · 24/10/2007 17:54

I want a new hoover

TheMadScaryHouse · 24/10/2007 17:56

I would love a blender, that chops and grates and blends

ledodgy · 24/10/2007 17:57

I'd like a cook that chops and grates and blends.

DottydotsofBloodOnTheFloor · 24/10/2007 17:58

ooh - new slippers and dressing gown. Mine are decades old but still feels like a luxury to buy new ones. Mind you, dp was just asking what I'd like for Christmas..!

amytheearwaxbanisher · 24/10/2007 18:07

ScottishMummy · 24/10/2007 18:08

dyzzidi · 24/10/2007 18:13

I have asked DH to take me shopping for some practical bras. I'm an F cup so the are blardy expensive. Gone are the days when pre child I would spend £200 on 'nice pants'

Spaaarklerooozingbloodandguts · 24/10/2007 18:15

DH bought me a slow cooker for my birthday back in September - I'm chuffed to bits with it . Not sure what I want for Chrimbo yet.

indiasmum · 24/10/2007 18:18

clarevoiant · 24/10/2007 18:35

I'd really like a sewing machine or a kenwood mixer

PersonalItTheClown · 24/10/2007 18:44

To combat my increasing 'oldness', I also want This.
I want to wake up to some excessive rock instead of Waaaayyyyy too chirpy local breakfast DJs.
