Why do I want for Christmas?

What do I want for Christmas?

People have started asking and I’ve no idea. Since having my 1 year old I truly don’t think about what I wear, I don’t have time to read anymore or for other hobbies as it’s 24/7 looking after LO, working full time, housework.

What should be on my list?

I have a tiny Amazon wishlist.

I'm putting these on my list. I got one in a beauty box and they are amazing. So relaxing it made me snooze!

°L'occitane Almond shower oil (makes me feel like a true lady, so luxurious and smells more expensive than it is!) Amazon, £16 on a good day.
°Space masks (scented eye masks that heat up, haven't tried them yet but daydream of the time that I will have an hour to myself to do nothing but relax while listening to a podcast, (preferably being fed grapes) £20 delivered for a pack of 5... I think.
°Oodie. There's nothing better than being surrounded with the warm, comforting weight of one. Mine has Quokkas on it. Because why not. Also it was £15 from eBay, has the Oodie labels on, is definitely real and not a carboot knock off.
°Laura Mercier Almond and Coconut perfume. Makes me feel worthy and like I deserve to feel posh. I think my partner paid... £60ish.
°Chocolate from a posh place. I'm currently trying a factory seconds Box of the Month from the Chocolate Society. I've never seen chocolate so glossy. My son and I treat ourselves to just one on a Sunday evening. Unusual flavours, posh chocs... Makes me feel fabulous dahhhlin'. It was £15/£20ish

Anyway, I have all these and I swear my ordinary, humdrum life feels that little bit more special and decadent because of these. On a more meh note, a decent coffee machine and a robot hoover makes the morning so much better to look forward to.

Some great ideas here thanks! There’s a few other similar threads too so I might scour those. I haven’t felt myself since having a baby and I want to ask for gifts that will make me feel good

I would be happy with any Ylang Ylang bubble bath/oil, some fairisle gloves and a really nice Christmassy smelling candle.

I really really really want some Vivaia shoes. I love nice shoes but I can't wear them as everything hurts my feet, but I splashed out and bought some Vivaia Margot flats and they are so comfortable! I got boring black as they are useful, but they have a real variety of colours so I would like another pair, or pairs, in some funky colours so that I could wear them all the time. I have asked, and sent a link to the site, but I think my DH thinks that would be a boring present 😭

I have them too!! They’re amazing and now I’m eyeing up the boots.

@Bellabluea I bought a pair of the waterproof flat Chelsea boots at the same time as the shoes... They are amazing! Boring black again, but if I suddenly come into some more money I will definitely get another/more pairs(s)
