What is on your Christmas Wish list this year?

[dazedandblue]

Every year I get asked what I'd like for Christmas and every year I struggle to come up with this so I'm trying to get a bit of inspiration for mine.

I have told DH that isn't lovely he has a wife who is happy with what she has, but he insists I give him some ideas so there is at least a couple of presents under the tree for me.

So far I have some skincare bits.

So please help inspire me!

Druid Edinburgh woodlands candle- it smells like standing in the middle of a silent Scottish pine forest.

Books from Persephone publishers

Moss green suede envelope bag

New trail running shoes

Replacement of my moisturiser & vit c serum
posh chocolate (Venchi pistachio)
F&M biscuits
make up brushes
Pyjamas

last year I got a 2nd hand Bottega handbag & a Gucci scarf so this year’s list is a lot more affordable!

Liz Earle cleanser and cloths. Good if you're a mother to young kids or an oldie like me. 2 minutes of luxury a day.

Lego botanicals collections.

A spa day/weekend.

Guerlain Mandarin and Basil perfume.
A ticket to paint a cup at Emma Bridgewater.
Every flavour of imperial leather shower foam.

Slippers
decent jewellery box
Dyson air wrap(Christmas birthday so this would be a combined present)
night away/ trip/ tickets for events
vouchers for hair/ nails

I’ve hinted like mad for new Ugg slippers. Mine are so bad even the dogs have stopped chewing them. I’ve also hinted at some hollister Teddy bear PJ bottoms. My in laws normally give me cash and I’m going to buy some new earrings for work. I’m on the dregs of my favourite perfume too. A massage would be so lovely.

Cushions
Pyjamas
Hotel Chocolat vegan sleekster box
A custom cat mum t-shirt
Sanctuary Spa body washes.

I was 40 this year and decided I need to raise my game in the present receiving stakes since I always buy such great ones and have always received crap back so these are on my list…

LED face mask
HC Velvetiser
Low level designer black crossbody bag
Family photoshoot
Solid gold earrings and link bracelet
Local salon vouchers

Had enough PJs, chocolate, slipper socks and general tat to last me a lifetime and I need to I still in my kids that Mummy deserves quality presents too 🤣

Personalised photo calendar with photos from the previous year with the family. Photo mug of my son and I- to take into the office. Lush bath bombs. Tom Ford cherry perfume. Ted Baker wool coat.

Cabotswood leather wellies - so comfy & look great mine have lasted years but finally worn out after miles of walking & need a replacement

Harris tweed handbag
Oak and Hyde Kensington boots
Also gel pens, gloves, fingerless gloves, hand cream and makeup brushes.

I have no idea (yet)
Escorts myself off the thread !

I’ve written a list! My DD10 was writing hers the other night but I wrote out my favourite shops and the scents/ranges I like best so hopefully there’ll be a few surprises but if things i actually like. Eg Molton Brown (gingerlily) my DD is old enough to influence the purchases now so hopefully I’ll get better gifts than previous years. I really want some headphones but I may end up just getting them for myself!

A good backpack/rucksack for work. I've got a very clear idea of exactly the features it'd have, but I don't know if it actually exists.

I also need a new winter dressing gown. But I might have got one for myself before Christmas.

I really fancy one of those robot vacuum cleaner things but it depends if we can get a decent deal cos they’re a bit too pricey.
More in the realm of possibility is a restock of my Clinique skin care and possibly perfume.

Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate machine and loads of different flavour packets to use in it.

One of those really waterproof backpacks with a fold over top for my hike to work in the rain.
Some l'Occitane shower gel
A burgundy zip up thick fleece for work
a deep tissue massage

and thats all i can think of at the moment

Last year and this year we have bought theatre tickets as a joint present to each other, which is fab. We do still do stocking presents on the day.
I am hoping for some new books, chocolate, a bath bomb. There may be socks or pjs or both.

One of those Ringconn fitness rings. Hopefully in the Black Friday sale

I'm asking for an Art Pass, some earrings and 🤞for a new Garmin. I have a big birthday at Christmas and I've promised myself I will really think about what I'd like to receive having spent years smiling with all my teeth at slippers and bath bombs.

Omg do it -I love my leaf blower! 🤭

I’ve just finished installing a lighting kit into this, I was on the fence cos of price but it’s so beautiful.

only issue is it’s too deep for nearly all shelving (definitely all Ikea shelving) so has limited places to live.

Gold Pandora bracelet
Perfume, as all of mine has run out
Weighted blanket/something to help me sleep all night
A husband that doesn’t pick an argument with me every time we speak would also be lovely!
I doubt I will get any of these things but would be nice to have x

I keep an Amazon wish list going throughout the year and when I see something I’d quite like but don’t want to buy myself I stick it on there. I have 2 lists, one just for books and one for other bits. My son always gets me a couple of books for Christmas, birthday & Mother’s Day. Husband will choose from either list.
