What do YOU want for Christmas?

[Sparkai]

Looking for inspiration. I keep being asked what I want and don't really have a clue! Budget is approx £30-50.

My main problem is I have recently decluttered and don't want to fill the house back up. Books are usually my go to request, but my tbr pile is currently unmanageable due to a manic few months at work. Although I take care in my appearance, I'm not someone who would consider a makeup pallet or anything like that a treat.

Some nice leather gloves

I have asked for a beginners linocut set as it is something I have always fancied having a go at. I love Linocut prints so am already planning a few simple designs that I will try. Last year I got a needle felting kit and made a very derpy looking fox and some little bears that my daughter's have in their room.

A chunky knit scarf, nice pair of slippers, posh pjs?

I chose a lovely dressing gown from Dorothy Perkins, it was half price and I had a 10 % off code. I said to my DH I’d also like a surprise.

I always like Amazon vouchers so I can buy books without feeling like I'm spending too much money.
M&S vouchers as I like to buy some treats in the foodhall.
I would love someone to come and valet my car as it is disgusting and I hate doing it. When my 5 year old GC complains about it and says I need an expert to do it I think they are probably on to something but none of the adults seem to think I'm serious.

I’d like some curling tongs .

My mum has got me patent cherry red dr martens. I can't wait! Kids sizes are much cheaper than adult sizes so if you're a 5 or under you could get a pair for around 60 quid. Unfortunately I am not.
I usually ask someone to get me chanel mademoiselle moisture mist spray. It's around 30 and it's so lovely and fresh. This year though, I've asked dp for ring from etsy. The original I saw was around 100 but have found basically the same one for 40. Suppose it just depends which one he gets.
I've asked my brother for boot socks to go with my new and old docs.

White stuff winter candle
Wrist warmers
Electric defuser
Hotel chocolate chocolate s
Gin
Nice glasses
Tickets to see ocean colour scene
Bobbi brown face base
Flat lay couch make up bag
Cox and Cox vase
Neom candle
MOB comfort cook book
Naked pallet eye shadow

Literally my list right there ^ 😂

A Japanese takeaway from the new place here.
I'm getting it because I'm buying it!

An experience of some sort...massage, meal out, etc

Pjs also

Lovely snuggly sofa blanket and PJs

For that budget, I'd say the Revlon One step hair styler thingy mijig. I'm kicking myself now I never put in on my Amazon wish list.

I asked for a new Nintendo, which I'm getting from DH. I'm also probably getting lots of perfume from everyone else despite asking for Nintendo games.

I've got what I wanted
A leather case for my sheet music from MIL
A snowflake charm for my Pandora bracelet from DD
Some money towards next may's piano retreat from DParents

Dh and I don't exchange gifts

Family have been asking what I would like so I've said...

A new back pack
Money for new walking boots
Kindle vouchers
Coffee shop vouchers

I'd also love this lovely cushion for the lounge I've seen!

A couple of nights away, anywhere, totally on my own 🙂

Massage voucher
New washpack to replace my falling apart one
Cashmere jumper
Keep cup to replace broken one
Cocktail subscription
Jewellery
Nice going out top

I won’t be getting any of these as we agreed years ago not to do adult gifts. Might go and buy some of them for myself though!

I’d go for nice slippers or a silk eye mask quality I mean not a 10 pound one.

To meet my future husband?

A mini neom starter set - I am seriously considering getting one of these after reading the reviews recently!

New slippers (I've already ordered on Etsy)

Heavy, but nice looking, blanket for the bed - all the "weighted" blankets I've seen are ugly and only appear to be available in boring grey or blush pink. I'm trying to find something like a heavy velvet throw in a blue/green colour.

From the kids: tea in bed/foot rub/emergency stairs hoover/ rainy-day dog walk etc - homemade vouchers.
DH and I started taking each other for a surprise outing a few years back, which has worked surprisingly well.

Is that why that shop's called The White Stuff?
