If you can ask someone for a lovely gift (or wish you could) what would you ask for?

i have seen threads like this previously and got good suggestions like the Neom diffuser/ white Co dressing gown.

any ideas?

I'd like candles, wax melts, fabulosa and some lenor unstoppables, about £200 worth of each

I've got my eye on
a new dressing gown
some nice scented candles
a stainless steel frying pan

But alas, I'll probably end up with another useless unwanted cookbook...

Experience/adventure vouchers. Etsy/Shop vouchers. Salon vouchers. Restaurant vouchers. Mainly things to do throughout the year than more 'things' to have. Luckily, I will get most of that too 🤗 if we're talking fantasy style gifts, a trip to Iceland(?!) to stay in the glass igloos would be immense.

Fantina · 17/10/2022 20:32

A beauty subscription box
an electric bike
Chanel perfume
A spa day

Lovely candles - I can never have enough of these anything from Aldi knockoffs to Jo Malone would make me happy.
Silver candlesticks
a flower subscription- I’ve had this from a lovely friend in the past and it was one of my favourite ever gifts
Jewellery
Nice hand cream
Posh moisturiser
AirPods
Beats
A voucher for a deep clean of the house (do these exist? If not they should!)

Just off the top of my head! I can only count on an Aldi candle from that list

TheHappiestChristmasTree · 17/10/2022 20:37

Great post Grin

Current wish list is books, a posh candle, comfy pjs, new bed socks, makeup setting spray. Some gin would be nice too. I feel I'm getting old!

I'm more excited to watch DD open her presents though.

Smarshian · 17/10/2022 20:38

Champneys shower gel (the one in a yellow bottle)
some new earrings and necklaces (just fashion jewellery)
a long roll neck jumper in a neutral colour to wear with leggings/leather trousers

My dh and I usually do buy quite a lot for each other at Christmas. We don't get much throughout the year and don't normally get gifts for anniversaries or birthdays etc, we usually just do something. Christmas is normally when we'd spoil each other but I don't think we'll have the finances this year so as long as the kids get I'm happy, but it's nice to dream lol.

snowmanshoes · 18/10/2022 22:01

A really nice blue dress - haven’t seen one I like yet so an impossible gift all round 😁
Pandora keyring or bag charm holder as I have a few special charms that I’d like to use but don’t wear the bracelets anymore
Hard sole slipper boots from m and s
Clarins moisturiser (day and night if we’re asking for anything 😂)
A good haircut and new makeup!!

I like gifts that leave no trace as I don't want more stuff so these are perfect.

MistyRock · 19/10/2022 08:33

A set of stud earrings, some with opals of different colours and some with pink, green stones etc. Not expensive but they look lovely.

HighlandPony · 19/10/2022 08:37
