DH has asked what I would like this year for Christmas. We have agreed a budget of £100. I'm due a baby next month but DH has said he wants to buy something for me to enjoy, plus we have everything we need for our baby's arrival. I have no idea what I'd like! If I need something, I just put money aside and buy it when needed.

Anyone else who has asked I've said pyjamas as I imagine the next few months will be spent in them with a newborn lol!!

What have you asked for this year? Needing some inspiration lol!

I'm getting hair straighteners because my hair looks a total mess in the morning, I have to leave for work at 6am and don't have time to wash and blow dry it.

Books
Magazine subscription
Fluffy socks
Nice snacks and treats
Bath stuff
Nice bigger size underwear
Comfy clothes

Congratulations on your pregnancy :)

Me personally, I would use the money for a fluffy dressing gown, slippers, perfume and a book.

SalsaLove · 21/11/2021 13:34

Lovely chocolates and cashmere socks

SecretWitch · 21/11/2021 13:35

I get my favourite perfume for Christmas every year

MonicaGellerBing · 21/11/2021 13:40

I'd like some cloud 9 hair straighteners the wide plate ones but they are £169 and there's no way we can afford it. We've just had to buy a new tumble dryer and my husband had an accident on Friday and will only get SSP which is £96 A WEEK!!! So there'll be no gifts for me this year Sad

ReginaaPhalange · 21/11/2021 13:49

@MonicaGellerBing I hope your husband gets better soon :(

Spa vouchers

For a piece of my Ercol furniture to be sand blasted so it comes up to it's natural colour.

A cashmere dressing gown (I think this is unlikely as it’s quite costy) and also one of those pet canvases where they turn your pet into a lord or something. I think Colin catface will look splendid as a general.

RussianSpy101 · 21/11/2021 19:14

More Victoria’s Secret satin pyjamas
Perfume
DH is great with surprises so I’m not sure what else I’ll get but I’m sure I will love it.

Lifeispassingby · 21/11/2021 19:17

DH and I haven’t bought each other gifts for the last 4 years so I wouldn’t have a clue what to ask for lol. What I actually want is a family Xmas that we didn’t get last year, in fact last Xmas was awful in our house so a ‘normal’ Xmas would do me lol x

Lucked · 21/11/2021 19:19

Perfume and the Estée Lauder beauty box.
Gin

LondonGrub · 21/11/2021 19:36

I got a velvetiser for my birthday and I love it. But only good if you actually like hot chocolate. I'm desperate for a cashmere jumper but can't justify the cost just now and don't imagine husband would get one for me.

WildStallyn · 21/11/2021 22:28

Theatre tickets

MrsPToBe123 · 21/11/2021 23:02

A leather baby changing rucksack. I have resisted so far (baby will be 8 months) but it's necessary as I'm currently using a normal handbag after selling our travel system incl bag (now have a pushchair). As sad as it sounds it's a bit of a splurge for a changing bag and I'lll use it every day!

MrsMiddleMother · 21/11/2021 23:26

If I was you I'd ask for some ugg slippers! That's what my husband got me when I had our son and it was a little everyday luxury.

snugglyblanket · 22/11/2021 01:24

Slippers (mine are falling to pieces)
Handbag (ditto above)
Books
Chocolate
A dress that I ordered & put away from the DC

Mummyme87 · 22/11/2021 07:03

Diffuser - white company do a nice one and they have 20% off in Black Friday until 19th.

Nice chocolate

I got Ugg slippers last year

Nice smellies

Candle - love neom : Happiness

UndertheCedartree · 22/11/2021 07:50

I'm asking my partner for a dressing gown. I also quite like a mug warmer and will ask my ex as a present from my DC. These would both be quite good presents with a new baby.

ReginaaPhalange · 22/11/2021 08:09

Thanks for sharing :)

I was actually looking at ugg slippers :)

Like pp said a mug warmer. Its a god send with a new baby. Can't tell you the amount of hot drinks go cold and down in the sink. Highly recommended!

I've asked for a bottle of my favourite perfume and some new fluffy socks.. I've also seen a throw i really like, that dh mentioned he'd buy me for Christmas. So fingers crossed. Been dropping little reminders lol

Fallagain · 22/11/2021 09:25

I’m not sure this year but for you, mostly if breastfeeding what about

  • contigo mug
  • extra long phone chargers
  • kindles
  • luxury moisturising shower gel
