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!

Ugg ultra minis

Ugg slippers

Le creuset pan

A skewer insert thing for my ninja foodi.

Nice hair care

Some nice longline jumpers I can wear with leggings

Some new diffuser oils from the white company

A big fat candle from the white company.

One of those buttoned, cushioned long footstools to put in front of the sofa so you can put your feet up when watching telly.

A white company disgustingly expensive wreath and Garland.

I probably need to stop looking at my white company catalogue

This year I told my kids to buy something upto $20 from the thrift store (it’s my favourite pastime)

I love retro, it helps out a charity plus helps contribute to reducing landfill. A win win all round.

I really struggle to think of anything.

Theatre tickets
A new Sara Miller watch. I've been coveting the Turtle one with the blue strap, but it's out of stock.

Thank you. I'm not a fab of mesh straps, though I have been considering getting over that for this one. It's the leather strap version I wanted (and I'm fussy and don't want a generic strap as the SM straps are stamped).

No presents for me, a quiet day not forced to visit relatives. Home cooked peaceful meal with my family.

Worriedddd · 05/11/2022 20:57

Sounds lovely! I love the idea of tartan pyjamas. What do you have in mind? Have you seen any beautiful ones?

A heated USB coaster
A Gimble for reading
Books
Maybe a lovely top or jumper
Some arch support furry slippers
A decathlon voucher because I will get over running injury and need new running shoes. 🤞

I’ve really enjoyed reading everyone’s wish lists.

I think my wish list would include:

  • LED mask
  • Crossbody bag (See By Chloe)
  • Ugg slippers (have never had a pair)
  • A pair of earrings
  • A Spa weekend
I’m not sure what DH and DC will actually give me. Possibly / likely none of the above

Ohhhh!!! I keep looking at ugg slippers and always found them pricy. I wonder if they're worth it/pass the test of time

@readingismycardio something like these https://www.pourmoi.co.uk/products/cosy-check-brushed-cotton-pyjama-set/

Rainallnight · 06/11/2022 12:31

I think maybe I’d like theatre tickets! Maybe to go and see Cabaret. (This is changing my mind from the post up thread!)

I usually really struggle to think of things I'd like but this year I have a list.

I want some
New clothes.
A pair of brown boots.
A brown bag.
2 jackets I've fallen in love with.
A snow globe or paperweight.
A small booklight.

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

The Winnie The Pooh Lego is definitely on my list too 😍

Also on my list is a Loungfly bag, just have to decide which one.
Pj's, slippers.
Charlotte Tilbury make-up.
Make up storage.
Books.
Anything from Princess Planning or Martha Brook. I love all things stationery.

Some of these I will be buying myself so my 2DC can wrap & gift them too me.

This house Grin not going to happen without a lottery win !

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/126403808#/?channel=RES_BUY

We live in Cornwall, but a good couple of hrs from St Ives. Spending Christmas there this year is the closest we'll get to be living there.
This house is gorgeous though.
One can dream.

Tiredasamf · 07/11/2022 10:17

You lot are so lucky!! I don’t really get anything, one present off my dad usually perfume and maybe a small gift off my mom but other than that we don’t do adult gifts. There’s too many kids in the family it would bankrupt us 🤣

SadieContrary · 07/11/2022 10:23

Candles, cookbooks and bubble bath never go amiss for me but I’d really like to receive the Venus watch from the Omega/Swatch Bioceramic Moonswatch collection 😍

AppleandSpice · 07/11/2022 19:37

Dunelm have a pair of slippers pretty much identical to my 7 year old beloved, old, tatty ones that I got in Tesco. They are worn through and the sole’s
are flat but I love them so can’t bear to chuck them. Have had several pairs since but nothing compares to these.

Also have just seen Peter Kay is making a comeback so Tickets would be Good.

Buts that’s as far as my list goes at the moment!

ElfineHawkMonitor · 07/11/2022 23:39

Spa/facial voucher and this year I’ve asked for a voucher towards a writing course. My mum always gets us theatre vouchers as a family too which we love.

Snoooozzze · 08/11/2022 02:50

I'm usually terrible at knowing what I want but this year I'm hoping for:

Clothbound classics books
Pyjamas (any as long as they're fancier than primark ones Grin)
Bubble bath and face masks
Cosy socks
Lindor chocolates
New Apple Watch straps
Tickets to see a show with DH

Any of the above and I'm happySmile
