What do I want for Christmas?!! Ideas please

[Tlikestotalk]

I'm a useful gift sort of person, little bits and pieces gifts are wasted on me because I usually end up forgetting all about them 🤦🏻‍♀️
For my birthday in August I got a kindle and some walking boots as they were things I needed (ran out of book space) but for Christmas i'm stumped and my partner is nagging for a list of sorts. I have plenty of perfume and jewellery.
What have you asked for Christmas this year? Give me ideas for myself 🤣

Payment for some books to go on your kindle?

Jumpers, magazine subscription, haircut vouchers, car valet, Thai massage, painter and decorator...those are things I'd love!

Velvetiser
Power bank
Photo printer
Picture frames
Dressing gown
Travel bag

Photo printer is a fantastic idea! Every year I make a scrapbook of everything we've done in the year but I use a website but I could do it myself with one of those! Love it, thank you! It's going on the list 😁

I like going to the theatre so would like tickets for that, I have a Friend's of the theatre account so get my tickets reduced so family will buy a gift voucher or cash for that. It means my Christmas presents are spread throughout the year too which is nice and doesn't result in having to store anything.

Tricky isn't it? My kids don't have much £ but are asking me. I've asked for a crochet book but I'm stumped as to what else I want/they can afford (one is at uni one is on minimum wage). A voucher is the least desirable as no joy for the buyer really.
These will be the only presents I'll have - my parents and husband have passed! My in laws are gone. I don't exchange gifts with friends. So it would be nice to have a couple things to open. I do get myself something but don't wrap it for under the tree.
A power bank might be an idea for me too! More a need than a want though.

Photo book, sanctuary stuff, dressing gown, notebooks, a hairdryer or a hoover(!)

Garmin Fenix watch, Beyerdynamic open back headphones, new Murdle book, a truffle, White Company bath robe, MacBook Pro, Cornishware crockery, Concept2 SkiErg, Lululemon gym wear, weekend at Estelle Manor, Ugg Tasman slippers.

If you had walking boots have you got some good warm socks to go with them?

I want some of the furry birkenstock boston mules, a nice dressing gown and pjs (always love pyjamas - nice ones!).

I also always like cashmere, silver and candles.

I'd like a hoover too actually - one that washes and hoovers the floor.

How about a special evening or day out? Don't waste money buying things you don't need.

Really expensive painting brushes, bit niche but basically whatever you like doing and would hesitate to get yourself the best of the range, ask for that.

Following! ☺️

Fairisle pattern nordic socks

Diptique candle

Voucher for local spa

Maybe some perfume (depending on sales/offers)

My list has
Elemis cleansing balm
Hairdryer/styler not sure which one
Warm socks
Slippers
Hour glass made from antique bobbins, appreciate this isn’t something that you would want 😂 and a bobbin pen

Elemis dynamic resurfacing cleanser

A watch with a different colour leather strap to the one I have - tan ideal

cashmere socks or cashmere v neck jumper (M&S for the jumper would be fine)

some boots

bubble bath - I am fussy so I’d have to give actual names eg lush rose jam, M&S fig and lotus flower, boots royal jelly (none of these are pricey, I just like them)

some new towels - the Margot Dalby patterned ones are really nice

white company Seychelles candle

You get Christmas gifts as an adult!? 🤨

Cook books
vouchers for the garden centre/ Sarah raven/ crocus
A heated throw blanket (god I love mine)
Cashmere scarf
Earrings
Neom oil blends for the pod thing
A facial

@VegTrug don't most adults?

I had a Freddie's Flowers subscription last year which has made me very happy all year.
Candles - but ones I actually like so I gave MIL a list of suggestions for her to choose from
Shower gel - again, ones I actually like so gave a list of suggestions
Some hyacinths
I am loving the Trinny stacking eye shadows and would like a couple more of those
I always appreciate some new socks.
A bottle of Baileys. I could easily put it on the online supermarket order but it's a useful thing to suggest to someone
A book someone has enjoyed and thinks I'll enjoy - especially if it is an author I don't know and I can then read all of their books
I quite fancy trying BrickBorrow

Love my travel mug and use it several time a week. It's ceramic inside so doesn't pick up the smell of coffee like some do and keeps drinks hot for ages and leak proof lid.

I’ve asked for some of my Photobooks to be printed as I make yearly ones and then smaller ones for holidays but rarely get around to having them printed as they’re too expensive!! I am getting two holiday ones and if I can get it finished in time, last years yearly one printed as gifts this year!! 🤗🥰

I’ve also asked for some books and chocolate 😋

Not too late to ask for hiking socks to go with your boots! Some are £25+ a pair but I have some of the mountain warehouse ones too and they are lovely. I've started wearing them recently day to day 😊

What about an experience rather than an object? Eg tickets to the theatre, day trip out that your partner plans.

A boot bag for your new walking boots! Keeps them nice and tidy, especially when they’re in the car, and less then £10. I got myself one for Christmas as well as one for my wellies - I’m sick of them rolling around my car boot/getting separated in the under-stairs cupboard.
