Every year around this time I'm making my list for Christmas for DH and my parents. We all make lists, to make sure everyone gets something they want & love.

This year I feel completely uninspired (except a folded wallet from Mullberry) so I wanted to ask all of you lovely ladies what's on your Christmas wish list.

Thanks!

I've asked for:
everyday earrings I can wear to work,
a bottle of perfume (Andy Tauer Tuberose),
a book (The Babylon Cypher by Alaric Naudé) and as my wild card,
a Nerf gun.

I still have Nesti Dante soap from last year.

I would love a zip dressing gown
Candles
Perhaps a primark gift voucher
New underwear
Perfume

Dh and I have agreed that we will book some night out to concerts, comedy shows that we like throughout the year. We have lots of ideas on what/who we'd like to see

A bottle of Chanel No 5
Diamine shimmer ink
Some nice chocolates - quality rather than quantity

NameChangeForARaisin · 25/10/2022 20:10

A weekend away voucher.
Unusual vegetable seeds.
Knitting patterns.

A blow drier for my horses

A new deer Hunter coat

I literally have everything else I want!

@readingismycardio in the past I've had nice stuff from Rituals, Jo Malone, Cowshed etc. am not fussed as long as it isn't radox. Lol! 😂

I really have everything that I want and to be honest, shop a fair bit for myself . DH always buy me a piece of jewellery, and we do stockings so that’s always an effort for him, so I’d like:

a bottle of Dear Polly perfume
Leonidas chocolates
books - all of them
metallic fingerless sheepskin mittens
black clutch bag - would really love the bottega veneta clutch
a painting by a particular artist I love
notebooks
the perfect berry pink lipstick - I do not know what this is!

@readingismycardio Calvin Klein Eternity Moment. I always liked CK perfumes when I was younger and like fresh fruity flora scents.

I used to wear that when I met my husband 😍

Well you know when dogs go to the groomer they have a special hair dryer?
It's like that but bigger.
So you can dry them after a bath or blow the dust out of their coats!!

Oh wow, I'd have loved one of those when I had my horse, he was a grey with a great fondness for rolling in thick mud.

Purplehonesty2 · 25/10/2022 20:56

I chose dhorse because she is dark brown dappled colour. Maybe not the best reason to choose a horse but she always looks fairly clean. Her rug, not so much.

Would have been better off with a muddy grey horse who wasn't nuts and actually liked being ridden....

tillyandmilly · 25/10/2022 20:58

I would add some monica vinader earrings - however I can only dream !

think everyone’s Christmas budgets are a bit smaller this year in my family!

Callmesadie · 25/10/2022 21:00

I’ve given DH a list to choose from as he never knows what to get me!

A handbag - sent about 5 options
Nike trainers
Make up (sent links to all the ones I use)
Moisturiser
Perfume
Moroccan oil hair stuff
Necklace
Nice coat

My partner is paying my nmc fee for me this year for Xmas as it's £120 I don't have spare tbh

Ooh fountain pen ink - good idea. Any brands you particularly like? I've only ever tried Waterman.

DoodlePug · 25/10/2022 21:04

Looking for inspiration

I want nothing, I like buying presents for others, I quite often manage to get DH something he didn't even know he wanted, but honestly there's nothing I want. Nearer the time I'll find something I'd buy anyway and mention it to DH

I did try a perfume the other day that I liked, but I've got loads of perfume.

Would quite like one of those usb coasters that keep your mug of tea warm, I'm a cheap date 😂

I'd never be disappointed by nice socks or a quality scarf/gloves.

I love the idea of a huge box of chocolates but am always disappointed, never found anything I love.

Shunkleisshiny · 25/10/2022 21:05

A new white towelling bathrobe from The White Company, to replace my old one that's lost it's ooomph!

youngestisapsycho · 25/10/2022 21:06

Winnie the Pooh lego set
The illustrated HP Order of the Phoenix book

Ooo, what's the blow dryer called?

Don't suppose it's like one of those hurricane drying booths you get at posh pools? That'd be ideal. Or could just ride through a car wash.

pompei8309 · 25/10/2022 21:08

What is the point in buying your own presents and give it to your other half to wrap?? not only wasting time and paper but completely stupid

But the walk through thing would be amazing!! I can just imagine her face (and her heels in mine)
