150 secret santa

[Doggoconundrum]

It's for me. I need to choose what I want for the family secret santa that's not so secret. I have no idea what I want and need suggestion! It's a decent budget so would like something nice.

Theres nothing that I really need...I'm 8m pp with 2 under 2 so my body has been all over the place for the past few years and my head is firmly in children mode. Although I need them, I don't think I want clothes as I think my body is still changing. I want to use up all my own skincare/make up etc.

Suggestions welcome!

Do you mean £150?

Thank goodness as I thought you had 150 secret santas

That's a great budget-
What about a voucher for a spa/massage? You'd have a year to use it.

Some jewellery? you could get a necklace with the DC names or birthstones or something?

You could get a nice handbag/nappy bag.

I know you said not clothes but a nice coat or some bits to freshen up your wardrobe? Or again-a voucher for a shop you like when you are ready to buy some new things?

Good pair of headphones?

Ooh lovely budget,

I would be tempted to go for -

A favourite perfume if you don't have too much to use
Some lovely pyjamas or a dressing gown
Ugg / Fitflop slippers
A piece of jewellery - birthstones are nice when the kids are small

Missoma is another lovely jewellery store -

I have literally just bought that exact necklace in gold for DD.

Was sent a pair of earrings with it worth £59 as a bonus!!

I’d go for really nice boots for me or if I was feeling more practical an air fryer if you don’t have one already (will be very useful when you have two little kids who need feeding around clubs and activities in a few years and easy to make quick meals with a newborn and toddler, but it is a bit boring!)

Something like this, with an accessory.

What about some good quality bedding? I love brushed cotton lovely and cosy for winter.

Local coffee shop card? Regular treats for a few months?

specific piece of jewellery

nice warm, practical boots

voucher for your hairdressers

I’d do something I’d never splash out on normally. So a fancy monthly flowers subscription.

Trainers.

Perfume
Jewellery
Cashmere loungewear

I'd get something useful but for me, air styler, new better hairdryer etc...

National trust membership - lots of places to take the children and you’d have money left for something else .

@WinterCrow that's stunning 😍

@wintercrow love this...however maybe for next year. This year it would just be constantly in the wash from all the fluids that come from the babies.

Voucher for a nice hotel for a night of undisturbed sleep

I would ask for a facial or a massage. It sounds like there's nothing material you really want or need and if theres one thing a mum of young children could do with, it's a bit of "me" time.

I would go for one luxury item that you wouldn't normally buy.

I'd go for a bag or a nice accessory or jewellery.

This is what I'm getting for my Christmas.
