Looking for ideas for all the lovely ladies in my life ... And maybe even myself. So far my Santa list is a pair of Bluetooth headphones so I can listen to very inappropriate podcasts and my children won't hear, and a very good, non-leaky travel mug for my horrible work commute. What are you getting?

I've asked for a Parlux hairdryer and some books

I have no idea, I've only just had my birthday where I got shoes and a lush model highland cow.

Dh always buys me trainers, but I have soooooooo many pairs now it's getting daft even for me.

I don't really wear jewellery, I have lots of bags, clothes etc. I wear make up but I have plenty, loads of hair products in supply and I have everything I need for my hobby.

I'm not into stage shows or live bands etc either. I don't cook, and would be highly unimpressed if DH got me anything "housework/chore" related.

No. Not that sort of present. More like another present from DH that he labels from our cats. It's very daft yes but just a silly family tradition. The animals are family members and receive and "give" presents. Totally crackers but it's just what we do. 🤷‍♀️😁

I tend to get surprises from my adult children but they usually include gin and some Black and Greens chocolate! I’ve asked my sister for a solar lantern for my patio and new kitchen scales ( from Lakeland) with a large enough base so that the bowl does not hide the display!

I almost asked for the Lego set of several different plants and flowers - until I saw the price and also realised the box had 750 pieces, then I decided they would just be a dust trap!

My other sister who lives in the US and usually visits every Christmas always buys us a lovely hand crafted Christmas tree decoration from a craft shop near her in New England.

GerardWay123 · 08/12/2024 18:20

For us, our adult children and their other halves tickets to the pantomime and a pizza meal before. On no you're not, oh yes we are.

Knee length socks as i only ever shorts round the house even in the depths winter!

A new kindle as mine is so old.
Anything that smells like cherries!!
Compact mirror as i threw mine away by accident.
And it's my 25th wedding anniversary this Christmas so i've asked for a small tag/keyring etc to mark it with, whether DH and my boys will actually get though is another question!

If it's sonic the hedgehog she likes the new film is released on the 21st. My ds is absolutely buzzing to see it. He has asd and sonic 2 remains the only film ever he has sat through and not made a peep

Highly recommend Tefal leak proof travel mug. Keeps my drink hot all day and I can carry it in my bag with no leaks. It is one of my best purchases

No ideas for me, yet. I usually spot things I would like when I’m looking around the shops, by which time it’s often too late to suggest them to people.

I’m interested in a very good, non-leaky travel mug for my DS, if anyone can recommend one.

Frank green I just got one off my colleagues it’s great

DilemmaDelilah · 12/12/2024 18:31

I'm a bit worried about what my DH might have got me. He usually asks me what I want and I give him a couple of ideas with links, but this year I know he has had quite a large box delivered and I don't want anything large.....

I really REALLY want a gold bracelet I can wear all the time - but I know he can't afford that.

SeasonsGreetingsBatFace · 12/12/2024 23:14

I think I'm getting quite a few surprises but I know a few gifts as I've asked for ..

A 6 set of Victoria Beckham eyeliners
A gold & doamind mini stacking ring
A cherry embroidered bralette
A box of fortnum & mason passion fruit chocolates

Just updating that the river island white faux fur panelled coat looked amazing on and was very warm - I felt v glam. Unfortunately, it started shedding tiny bits of white fluff immediately, so I returned it. Shame
