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…

Good health and renewed vitality.

Jo Malone "blackberry and bay"
Clinique Black Honey lip balm
Charlotte Tilbury make up setting spray

@Justhereforthechristmasthreads
that looks great, thanks !
not Sure I can wait till Christmas though🙂

Books and these socks please. And maybe a scandinavisk candle?

@my82my can you use your straighteners on wet hair? That's the appeal for me - I have very good straighteners but would love to cut out the drying stage!

Ooh, have I missed new Chalet School books?!

I will be on my own. Being ancient means most of my friends are dead and family are distant so I have to buy for myself.
Anyway I would like
An Oodie
A scented candle
Books
Lipbalm and handcream.
A fluffy hotwater bottle cover.

I would like to have someone else take on the mental load of Christmas- or at least share with me. DH is pretty oblivious until I have my annual Christmas meltdown along the lines of ‘why am I buying for your entire family!!!’
also:

True Grace diffuser in Library scent
white company cashmere socks
ketastase shampoo and conditioner
plants
magazine subscriptions
books from list
gold chain link necklace from mint velvet
nice vegan chocolate
heckles facial voucher

Nothing

I’m not bothered at all about gifts but my DD is upset if there’s none for me under the tree so I buy myself some, wrap them & put under the tree!

This year, it will be docs, Zara perfume & a donation on my behalf to changing lives at carrington charity.

Well now I really want those GHDs!
no chance

Single mum here so I’ve just bought my first present for myself - a set of Tove Jansen Moomin books. I loved them when I was a child and they make me feel so happy and wholesome, so I’m going to re read them.

To spend Christmas Day with my family.

A horse

On my wishlist:
Books (always)
Nice pyjamas, possibly slippers
Bath salts
Depending on what I need - Lily & Lolo makeup, or Upcircle skincare

I'm the same but would add new running trainers - offsets all the chocolate 😂

Some good books- A Dictator Calls and The Story of Art without Men
L’Occitane toiletries
Air fryer
Electric blanket

I’m getting old, I’m now excited about our new hoover…

A Coco & Wolf Liberty Silk pillowcase
Scamp & Dude jeans
Something from Merci Maman - a ring or a bangle with my daughter's name engraved
Asma Khan 'Ammu' book
Cerys Matthew's retelling of Under Milk Wood
Ceramic paint palette

I would be overjoyed to get these things and literally need nothing else!

@CottonHeadedNinnyMug ooo I now also need a A Coco & Wolf Liberty Silk pillowcase

Just want to say you sound like an amazing mam and gran 🥹 my mother would have a conniption fit if I got her those beautiful gifts . Your kids and grandkids are blessed to have you x

Silk pillowcase
j’adore body oil
candle in a lovely hand blown glass pot
comfy slippers

Have you read her The Summer Book?

I haven't, but DH says it is brimming with that sense of wholesomeness.

A Baby
A canvas picture of DCat who I had to have pts in June
Binoculars
A new dressing gown preferably with either a zip or buttons
A bed jacket
New pjs
Socks
Nice calendar and diary set
A new electric blanket that covers all my bed. Mines only a single one so one side of the beds always freezing cold
new pillows. Ones lumpy as fuck, the other is as flat as a pancake and neither do my neck no justice whatsoever!
Nice smellies and hand creams

Apple watch or Barbour jacket

Good selection .
