After a horrible year of dh getting diagnosed with cancer and having treatment and currently having the all clear we are treating ourselves to a cruise in February as our Christmas present to each other .
We realise life is too short not to enjoy it together rather than buy'stuff'

I keep seeing this new hair straightener/ hot brush thing that i'm being heavily influenced to buy so am thinking i'll ask for that. If anyone has one, i'd love an honest review before I go solely off TikTok

Which one is it?

I use a GHD hot brush every day and I LOVE it. Doesn't give that poker straight hair like straighteners do so it's great for every day

RJnomore1 · 03/09/2024 14:26

Lego for me too! Although I love those table and eve pjs and gowns…

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 03/09/2024 14:35

Dear Santa, I would like -
some really nice smellies; soap, diffuser oils, room sprays (White Company is nice...)
A new pair of Muck Boots
Ugg slipper boots
A drill/electric screwdriver
A subscription to Hello Fresh or similar
A puppy (but existing dog says no)
Printed and framed photos of my kids
Garden voucher or some random big terracotta pots
although I promise to be really grateful for anything, actually.

An off-grid weekend with my DP, just the two of us

Lots of interesting locally-spun yarn for my loom

A kettlebell

Replacement slippers (I wear my Emu shearling booties to death but they ain't cheap!)

A visit from my best friend, who I haven't seen in person in the last couple of years (we live on opposite sides of the world), so we can sit on the couch under a blanket and watch nonsense TV and drink tea together and cackle.

Cece92 · 03/09/2024 15:23

I want new vans or a new coffee machine lol! I think If I get all my Xmas shopping done by my November wage I'll get it myself in my December wage xx

PhantomErik · 03/09/2024 15:26

An 'Anxiety Bookcase'. I don't have anxiety but love small things & would enjoy organising miniature books.

Harry Potter snowstorm or model to act as a bookend for my HP books.

I had to Google that. That would make me more anxious! Good idea if it works though.

I want to have all my DC and DGC together one day on December. I know it won't be on Xmas day but having them all together and cooking them an early Xmas dinner is all I want.

I hope you get your camera x

Another who wants a robe (I have a bright red fluffy one but it seems very loud for most of the year!)
slipper boots

and not bringing the mood down but for dh to love me again (I think by Christmas we’ll be broken up)

housethatbuiltme · 03/09/2024 18:11

I do my own stocking (because otherwise no one else would, plus I can buy whatever I want lol) and I have bought a glasses case and a dressy belt.

Might buy a nice phone charger as I only have a flimsy usb wire one that came with the phone at the moment and its useless.

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 03/09/2024 18:28

Some Folio Society books. I've started collecting them and that's all I want now.

This is the one that TikTok has me pining over! I imagine it's the cheap knock off version of the GHD one.

I have GHD straighteners and am wondering if I need both these utensils in my life- but it seems I might!!!!!!!!

Putmeinsummer · 02/09/2024 20:52

A snoozeband. I have a cheapo version but want a better quality one

I have an official snoozeband and it genuinely is NO different than the non branded ones (I’ve tried loads of them so I can say this with 💯 certainty!) x

BellaBobbins · 03/09/2024 18:55

I'm hoping for new slippers and pyjamas from DD, but she says that's boring because that's what I asked for last year.

DH and I get each other a stocking so hopefully it will have the usual Toblerone, book and badedas bubble bath!

Oh and some Thomas Fudge's Florentines that I do not need to share.

Apart from health and contentment for all (including me), I would like a printer and a telly to go on the bedroom wall.

Temporarynameforthisone · 03/09/2024 21:01

Ice cream/sorbet/frozen yoghurt maker
Fresh orange juice maker
Fancy food mixer so I can make nice cakes

A replacement garden bench, but this will probably be a joint purchase with dh for us both.
Nice bottle of wine to enjoy on the bench!
