What would you like for Christmas?

[GH5385]

I’m not offering to buy mind you!! Just wondering what people are hoping for this Christmas.

I’d really like some tan leather knee high boots with a comfy/blocky sort of heel, a galvanised wheelbarrow with no painted bits that will peel/non galvanised bits that will rust, and some marzipan fruits…

A potting bench
Binoculars
Journal
Dressing gown
Crocs

I like your list a lot minus the marzipan!

I would say a nice wine stopper, some tiny chunky gold hoop earrings, and aromatherapy oils/perfume

12 pairs of Christmas socks 🧦 I love wearing them all year round!!

What l usually get from my two daughters and Grandkids.
Anything that says " Mum" or " Granny" on.
My daughter gets me wonderful thought out gifts.A mug with a photo of my Grandsons on.
She had a story picture book made for me taking me through all four of my Grandsons lives from birth.
Then I'm addicted to slippers.. warm comfy fluffy slippers.Plus l always get some excellent face products..
I am happy with all them kind of things again.
But the most important present is spending time with them.

Pearl or opal stud earrings
Mina Lima edition of The Secret Garden
Electric hand held milk frother

I did say a weighted blanket but I've actually just treated myself.

Neals Yard bath oil
Imperial candles candle
Books - there's a long list
A nice bottle of gin and fever tree tonic
M&S Irish cream truffles

My husband and I buy our own presents for ourselves up to a budget of £75… we wrap them
up and on Xmas day take half an hour just to ourselves to sit and open them together… it’s lovely.

So far I have bought myself a new Emma Bridgewater mug… (£17)

A shift to every 4 years (like the Olympics) and a ban on talking about it before November.

A gorgeous jumper.

And world peace.

Books - I have a list
Towelling robe, not too bulky but not too thin.
Trainers
Chilli hot chocolate
Nice chutneys
Literary jigsaws

I wrote, rather rudely, “I fear the Christmas topic is not the place for you”.
And then I noticed this isn’t the Christmas topic.
So I am grovelling, and also thanking the MN fairies for the new editing tool.

Also Zara perfume and some white gold huggie hoop earrings

Dyson air wrap

Oh - one of those new GHD wet to styles hair straighteners, but they are out of our price range

Gold earrings
Air and Grace Trainers
Some essential oils
Beeswax candles
A Maileg Mouse

The latest iPhone and a new MacBook Air

Not going to happen so I'm happy with some nice socks

Honestly no idea. There is nothing I particularly want at the moment. Find it harder every year - which bugs everyone in the family as I'm always so organised for getting everyone else sorted but never have any ideas for me 😂

Ditto.

a new refillable water bottle
a boot organiser for my car
the Charlotte Tilbury filter cream
birkenstock clogs

I'd love to spend Christmas day with dh, the DC and Sis in law and her hubby and kids. I always feels nervous suggesting it though, I feel anxious that they'll say no or not say no but be thinking they don't really want to. I'm an anxious person!

Materially I would like new pj's /dressing gown or slippers and a big sloppy kiss from DH. And whatever the DC chooses for me. Last year they bought me a sparkly letter F from poundland that goes on the Xmas tree. None of our names start with F. It's hilarious and I love it

A rice cooker.

A new sleeping bag. More specifically a fancy down sleeping bag that doesn't have a zip. we go camping, and I hate the nightly ritual of having to wriggle and then zip myself around not my current sleeping bag
And a feminist sweatshirt from Tatty Devine

I'd like to reach my goals-weight and get healthy. That's all i want for me.

My perfect gifts would be a lovely gin, a big bottle of Baileys, a large box each of Lindor and Ferrero Rocher, and any cookery book I don't have already.

I expect DH will buy me some gym kit, for obvious reasons.

A Black and Tan, miniature smooth haired dachshund bitch puppy or an Innov-is F580 Sewing/Embroidery/Quilting Machine.
