Hi,

Not sure what's going on this year, but I got into the festive spirit super early!

And... thinking about what I want for Christmas this year, thought I'd ask you too! What do you hope you'll get?

I'm hoping for:
A polene bag
A gold pendant
Some oils for my neom diffuser
A gold pendant for my necklace
Anddddd of course... chocolate!

I can never think of anything when I'm asked. I dont like "stuff", dont wear make up... I am fortunate that I can usually buy things I actually need.

We aren't big present buyers among the adults in my family, never have been, but as there's only one DC I do think it's nice for him to see others exchange gifts too. I am following for inspiration - both to buy and perhaps request.

I would love a trip to South Korea and tickets to watch BTS when they get back together, it won’t ever happen but a girl can dream.

Nice cashmere jumper
Coffee travel mug

A National Trust membership

Some expensive chocolates that I would never in a million years spend £25 on myself.

AgnesX · 12/10/2023 13:07

Good perfume Good cashmere cardi Very good whisky/whiskey Jelly babies Nice bubble bath Amazon voucher to buy crappy vampire mystery books 😊

I'll settle for the sweeties and Amazon voucher 😁

GiveMyHeadPeaceffs · 12/10/2023 13:28

I'd like some Tom Ford perfume, a cashmere jumper I've seen on La redoute, new trainers for running, chocolate from a local chocolatier and a gorgeous candle for my bedroom. I'll maybe get 2 of those 😂

CoffeeChocolateWine · 12/10/2023 13:39

I have my birthday and Christmas coming up. There are actually a few things I'd like which is rare...even just a couple of these would be lovely.
Bottle of my fav Jo Malone perfume
Another Jo Malone fragrance
New handbag- mine is knackered!
Fitbit
Nice skincare for my increasingly aging skin
Books
Diary

I hope to get one of the more expensive items for my birthday from DH. I think we're getting each other a coffee machine (also very much wanted!) for Christmas.

@readingismycardio, the one I wear most often is the basil and neroli - I love it and I'm very nearly out!

Ohhh, I never tried it! I will as soon as I get the chance, sounds amazing! My favorite is English pear & fresia

@readingismycardio, maybe I'll have to try that one as my 'another Jo Malone fragrance'! 😊 I also like the poppy and barley but it's a bit more of a summer fragrance.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/10/2023 13:50

readingismycardio · 12/10/2023 06:44

Also, do you guys have any thoughts about the velvetiser? Is it truly worth it?

Oh I came on here to say I'm debating the Velvetiser! Not sure whether it'd be used loads or just gather dust once the novelty wore off.

I'd also like a delicate gold bracelet to replace one I lost at the airport this summer (which belonged to my grandma ☹️), the Lego bonsai tree, Hags by Victoria Smith and Unruly by David Mitchell.

CoffeeChocolateWine · 12/10/2023 13:51

@readingismycardio , the basil and neroli one is lovely - very fresh and uplifting fragrance 😊

readingismycardio · 12/10/2023 13:51

@GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal please keep me posted re your debate on the velvetiser haha! Not sure what to do. And it's so pretty, too, isn't it?

We have the bonsai lego, so, so beautiful!

Haven’t really thought about it, although I spotted a beautiful very simple silver heart pendant in a jewellery shop in a little fishing village near us & said at the time to DH that I would love it for Christmas.

TeaMistress · 12/10/2023 16:06

Some nice skincare would be lovely. Perhaps some bubble bath and nice pyjamas.

sprigatito · 12/10/2023 16:08

Normally I'm happy with surprises, but John Guy's new book about Anne Boleyn has just come out, so I'm hoping dh takes the hint!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 12/10/2023 16:10

I don't actually want anything from my sons but I thinking they are all chipping in for a lovely silver and turquoise bracelet from pig and hen
They are 29,26 and 23
