What is your husband buying you for Christmas this year?

[LaTangerina]

I need some inspiration. My husband has asked me what I want for Christmas and I'm drawing a blank!
Only thing I can think of is the new (regular) reading kindle with the light. But there's nothing wrong with my old kindle (with no light)...so not sure I want it gathering dust.
What have you all asked this year?
Or what would you really like?

@AlwaysLatte that's very cool!

No idea. He’ll ask what I want but I can’t think of anything this year. I was thinking something inexpensive like chocolates because I want skincare for my birthday, second week of January, which will probably be reduced.

There’s lots of things I would like but we can’t afford them.

I am getting a new pair of road running shoes and trail running shoes plus a pair of waterproof socks .
It's my birthday the week before so they will be split across the two.
I've got us him Waterboys gig tickets for next year too.

A lovely handbag and purse. I've chosen myself online but won't look at the real thing when it comes. Will be wrapped and under the tree on Christmas morning....at least I know I like it

We decided to buy each other a cookery course so we can learn new things together. We already have loads of 'stuff' and are trying not to gather any more!

Tickets for a concert and comedian, new AirPods and then some bits he’ll choose. He usually gets me some nice loungewear, pjs, vegan toiletries/chocolates.

One of those colour and style sessions were they tell you what to wear for your shape and colouring

I have asked for the new Bob Mortimer novel and a book on the etymology of words. Requested/suggested that they are bought from one of the second hand booksellers because I am tight and it is a joint bank account the ones from World of Books are like new.

I'd rather gnaw my own arm off than ask for something expensive/a big treat (my issue I know).

I need to know more about this velvet cape @Lilgamesh2 😁

A coffee machine is a wonderful gift. I got one last year & loved it ... unfortunately I don't drink coffee anymore now 😕

I was always most insistent on this, but actually I asked for specifics last year and it was actually much better. He did get me a surprise too though.

One year he asked for something and totally forgot so had the best of both worlds.

I'd just be happy with Amazon vouchers that I can spend on books or kindle books. Orook vouchers. Those are what we often get each other.

i don't want chocolate, and I don't use make up or perfumes. I dislike candles and fear them as a fire hazard so wouldn't want those in the house.

I chose a gift for my husband, but told him beforehand to check if he’s happy with it. In my country we also give small gifts on 6th of December, and me and my husband also chose what we want to get. I even ordered my own one and my husband picked his in supermarket🤣 I really don’t like the factor of disappointment when you get a surprise gift, i.e. my mum bought me once PJs. It’s nice practical gift, but they had polar bear printed☹️ I am quite fussy about stuff, and would never choose pjs like this. I wore them until they died, but they were never my favourite. This is why we always tell what we want to get, so at least we don’t have to pretend we’re pleased with gifts in front of each other.

Slippers that actually fit, I hope 😁

Fitflop have some lovely shearling lined ones in their Black Friday sale, down from £80 to £40 but an extra 15% off with WELCOME15 (I have just indulged!).”

thank you! Wishing you toasty feet 😁

I’m a bit excited. DH and I bought two Christmas presents already for me. I know exactly what they are as he got me to specifically choose them. I was happy with them but I thought it would be nice to have a surprise and behold. I reached down ready to unpack a bag of groceries he came in the house with the other day and there was a box. Plain brown. DH said oh not that it’s a Christmas present for you. 😁🎁🎄

My DH has very little imagination so I give him a list to choose from, it has the following on it;

Anine bing sweatshirt
NB trainers
Neom diffuser
Nars mini bronzer
Smashbox matte eye palette

Breast lift, I hope.

I love my kindle paperwhite, so much better reading in the dark (insomnia sufferer here).

It's my birthday in December as well, so I give DH a joint list:
Book - I hate kindle for factual books
new baking tins - upgrade from my cheap ones
voucher for a baking class for Spring
Christmas baking class (I do assume I will get it for my birthday)
Red Panda experience (will be a joint gift for DD and me)
Weighted blanket

Robot vac. Sad but true! One hairy dog in the house means we are constantly sweeping and hoovering floors. Not after Santa comes we won't be!!!

I don't need anything but would love it if he arranged a weekend away.

The food bank shop is the real spirit of Christmas. You must be a lovely person. I think I’m going to borrow your idea

A hoodie........we go to lots of gigs and try to always buy merch direct from the bands on the day or from their websites so they get the money themselves. I haven't specified a band, just a hoodie and must be overhead rather than zipped.........when we had this conversation in October DH decided he knew exactly what would be just the thing and was very pleased with himself.

Fast forward to last week and he'd forgotten both the conversation and what would be just the thing so he's frantically conversing with DD to work out what to do 😂

He has in the past been very miffed when I say I don't trust him to go to the shop for crisps but may have now decided I'm right!!!!!
