Jo Malone products are always lovely and feel like a real treat

True & the packaging is beautiful too

If someone buys me a really good book I can appreciate that but only my partner and friend can get it right.

I also love afternoon tea vouchers.

I love a good hamper and I just received this as an early Christmas gift from my aunt. It's an ethical gift box and all the products have a story of sustainability and I thought this was delightful.

Assuming it’s something I’ve not picked myself:

Good quality plush toy animals but NOT teddy bears, definitely no Ty big glitter eyes things
Milk chocolate
Animal/cat related tat of my favourite creatures, especially Siamese cats
Vouchers
Pokemon stuff
Candles
Pet stuff - dog leads in nice patterns, lovely food dishes, toys/treats for the pets
Fluffy socks
A nice Christmas decoration
Whittards hot chocolate or flavoured teas - their Mulled Wine tea this year is to die for

I think I’m pretty easily pleased!

Book shop vouchers!!!!!!

Nice food gifts. Chutneys, cheese and biscuit hamper, truffles, etc. Red wine.
Unusual (Italian/Spanish) tableware/cookware or kitchen utensils. Not naff, Christmas themed stuff.
Cookery books
Plants or even better, a nice terracotta pot planted with some spring bulbs
Nice bath stuff. Molten brown or loccitaine
Nice candles. White company, St Eval, Diptyque
Gift card for my favourite pub chain - Greene King
Vouchers for a local restaurant that is within staggering distance
Homemade socks/ crafty stuff from my very talented Dsil
Cherry liqueurs (edited from cheery)

I’m easy to buy for 😀

I'm one of those annoying ones that doesn't want anything. I'm minimalist and don't like having too many things, I'm very fussy and definitely don't enjoy receiving something that's not 100% right. I get a decent Xmas bonus every year and can buy exactly I want. There's nothing right now that I actually want or need. Having to fake gratitude for "the thought that counts" stuff is a waste of time, money and effort. I'd much rather people not get me a gift and enjoy their money on themselves.

Books, always
Gin

So many great suggestions on here. I think I’ll make a hamper up with these ideas for mum and possibly for myself too!
