I’ll be happy to get the components of a turkey roast dinner and be able to host my parents. Not taking any of this for granted. The 2019 me wouldn’t believe it!

FVFrog · 27/09/2021 21:03

I’d also like a few chocolates.

My extension to be built and my new kitchen fitted Grin

Stompythedinosaur · 27/09/2021 21:25

A sword! I have just taken up historical sword fighting.

72WayTooCool · 27/09/2021 21:27

PMK as I don't know what I want and hopefully I'll get some ideas!

greenlynx · 27/09/2021 21:30

I would mind extension to be built or at least bathroom redone. As a surprise gift nothing can beat nice chocolates for me. Otherwise I’m tricky to buy for ( due to size, shape, allergies etc) so actually resent when people give me anything else, just waste of money imo.

greenlynx · 27/09/2021 21:31

I meant “I wouldn’t mind “ sorry

Mummydoctor · 27/09/2021 22:21

Neom diffuser

Paul A Young salted caramel chocolates
Some short wellies
Socks
A cashmere sweater in burnt orange or sea green
Red lipstick that suits me
Luxe lip balm in a stick form, will have to research this. Have always had Eve Lom Kiss mix or By Terry baume de rose but since Covid I hate applying them when out and about as I don't like to stick my fingers in the pot, even if I've sanitised them. Maybe Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream stick?
New iPad (mine has a cracked screen)
Soy candles, preferably nice smelly ones (Christmas smells)

Pre-Christmas (I have a December birthday): Elemis, Lumene or John Lewis beauty advent calendar; flower subscription, magazine subscription, make - your-own Christmas wreath craft session (had one last year, all the bits came in a box then you joined in a video session, wreath was beautiful)
