What’s on your list (if you’re a woman who actually wants stuff)

[DevastatingFinish]

If you’re the type of woman says “all I want for Christmas is a hug from my children and a single Ferrero Rocher” then that’s absolutely lovely but not what I’m asking. I need ideas for stuff for myself, lovely things I may not have come across, to put on my Christmas list!!

So far I have a voucher for a Margaret Dabbs medical pedicure
A new casserole dish, Le Creuset style
The secret of cooking by Bee Wilson
A little zip up thing to put in my handbag with my essentials

I’d love some really nice knitwear also.
What sort of lovely things are on your lists?

A full car valet. Every year. Best present ever.

Ugg tazz are on my list every year, a new perfume, skin care (more expensive brands than what I’d get myself!) and then the boring stuff like candles, clothes.

I’ve been cheeky and asked for a solo spa day/night as I’m pregnant and home with an almost 2 year old everyday so I need it!!

Nice linen tea towels
Penhaligon candle
Shearling lined slippers

Always happy with interesting books, food or wine.

After following the Christmas Bargains threads - I really want a seed calendar!! New slippers are always good and lots of Moisturising creams for decrepit growing old gracefully skin! A years' supply is always handy!! A new woolly or two is lovely too!!
A want to have (but no chance of) cruise would be lovely too!

Some books.
Lego/other brick brands.
Box of After Eights that are for me only and no one else is allowed to even sniff.
Maybe a HMV voucher to go towards one of their t-shirts.

I've asked for:

• vouchers for self-care appointments like massage, facials, nails
• an Evolve journal/planner
• a diamond roller knife sharpener
• some really good waterproof gardening gloves
• nice heirloom veg seeds from She grows veg

I'm always happy to receive:

• earrings
• books
• jumpers

I have quite a long book list, so probably something from that. Some of those M&S Italian Chocolates (this probably won't happen, so I will go and get them myself). Some stationery from:
Libraries and Archives Paper Company
Maybe a piece of silver jewellery from here, loads of choice and reasonably priced:
All Jewellery. – Smithsonia
I think I will definitely get a couple of books and some chocolate, probably end up with shower gel too, the rest is more questionable.

i manage my urge to spend frivolously by maintaining a John Lewis wish list across the year. Then I share it with my DH who can use it to assist others’ gift queries. DH usually chooses a couple of things of the list and gets a couple of spontaneous gifts.

At the moment I’ve got extra large coffee mugs, fancy wine glasses, perfume, earrings, a jumper and a pair of trainers on the list.

I have asked for a gold watch and a t-bar gold necklace.

A literary magazine subscription
A Christmas biscuits from around the world box
A Rolife book nook set
A used book subscription box

A really lovely stylish radio for my WFH office.

We agreed a generous budget each and chose what we wanted. I'm getting a F&M hamper.

I'm easily pleased but i like things to open.

I'm separated so it's really just my young adult boys. I have on my list:

A book pouch
A plant
Some nice bar soap
A new origami figure for my collection
New watch strap for my smart watch

I've asked DH to get me some new cycling kit. I don't "need" it as I have loads already so I haven't bought it for myself, but there's a specific design that I really like which would make a very nice Christmas present. I am also approaching needing some new walking boots so my adult DC have said they'll club together for those but I'll wait until January in the hope of getting a bargain!

On my list is
glossier perfume
a card holder
pjs
facial voucher
shark led face mask
espa bath oil
chocolates
books
garden centre vouchers

Ive asked for a new small rucksack i use as a handbag from john lewis

Bath bombs
Lavender pillow spray
Books
New pjs
Chocolate
Something crafty

Shepherd of Sweden slippers. Oh my days they are amazing!

Estée Lauder skincare (loads of freebies on the website when you make an order at the moment). I'll probably buy this myself.

A ZestyLemons.com carnival candle - the red striped one smells wonderful.

A new insulated water bottle.

jewellery from Cara Tonkin Komorebi range

I'm running low on perfume and fancy trying something new, so I plan to have a mooch in Diptyque and John Lewis when I go Christmas shopping to try a few out.

So - perfume, and possibly a matching body/hand lotion if available.

Larry David's autobiography.

New pyjamas, bath salts, and fancy bubble bath. I get these three every Christmas, birthday and mother's day and I always look forward to receiving them.

I'm not getting anything because we're horribly broke but I fantasise about a world in which I get the Sephora advent calendar, a David Austen rose and some gardening tools and books, a lovely cast iron casserole dish and nice slippers.

on my list

Laptop bag (mine is falling apart)
Some cosy slippers
Elemis skin care
Lego
Trainers
Necklaces

Van Cleef bracelet. But I’m not due a big present this Christmas as my birthday present was a big one.

I like garden centre vouchers, both specific to a particular one and national.

As many garden centre's now sell so much more than just plants a voucher, for me, makes a perfect gift, even if I just end up browsing and finishing with a coffee and slice of cake.

Weighted blanket
Ninja blend boss tumbler blender
Adidas Spezial
Mini jigsaws
Colouring books and nice set of pens
PJs
Slippers
Deep tissue massage voucher

I can dream
