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?

Magazine subscription
M&S beauty box
Bottle of negroni
Cashmere socks
I am at the stage in life where I can buy anything I want ( within reason !) so I tend to ask for nice everyday things I’ll use .

Pilates clothes
Estee Lauder Glimmer perfume
Roka rucksack
Jo Malone candle
posh Italian chocolates - Barrati and Milano

So far I’ve bought myself a sharkninja depuffi, a kiwi & co jumper and some Dune perfume

It's not to cut the love

I know that my kind MIL is getting me an M&S beauty advent calendar because she does every year 😊

Other things on my list:

A gold necklace, either a t-bar or a chunky initial
Fitbt Inspire
New Nutribullet (as mine is about to die)
New tablet (ditto - screen has smashed but still useable)
Kobo for library books
Expensive travel mug that will tick my boxes (keeps warm, doesn't taste weird)
Cashmere jumper

Don't know whether I will get any of them - I'm very happy to tell people to wait and get my stuff in the sales though 😊

I’m after a lovely (leather?) tote for my work stuff, I’ve had a fair walk from a car park for the last few years so switched to a backpack but our office is moving in the new year and parking is right outside so I want to go back to having a nice big tote that I can throw everything in!

I have asked for a Goldtop Tank Bag for my motorbike.
I also want some merino wool thermals for the motorbike too, lol

I already have it!

Found a UK seller. Just need to change the plug still for use in the UK.

It's for the new house if ever move in, want it on the table as walk in the front door. I saw it last Xmas and just too pricey, the UK seller was £80 cheaper. Am made up, though I know a lot of people will hate this!

Lego (Disney and ET); Jellycats; skincare and on cloud trainers - promise I’m not a tween girl 😂

Anyone else with good stationary brands to recommend?

I'd absolutely love someone to do a declutter and deep clean to get me on track
A Le Cruset cast iron casserole pot
A new work bag - leather but doesnt have to be designer. Maybe a Pompom bag
Some new make up

I’m struggling to think of things I want this year. So far my list is:

Tweezerman tweezers
Benefit Goof Proof eyebrow pencil
New pyjamas
Sanctuary Body Butter

Coffee.
Proper, actual, decent coffee.
Like many people we've had to really tighten our belts and I switched to tesco's brand instant coffee. Among other cut backs.
For christmas I would LOVE a big bag of really great roast beans! I haven't had a proper cup of coffee in i dont know how long!

Lego
Pjs
Pintail candles
Silver jewellery
Large heavy mug (although now I also want a travel mug with china inside)
Tunnocks teacake umbrella

I love this op. Made me lol. I’m also not the type to be jumping with joy over a card , pair of socks and a single ferrero 🤣

this thread has given me so many great ideas.

Oooh it's your life you'll be risking 😁😁

Superstition says you cant be given a knife, you have to buy a knife. To give a knife is to sever a bond.
You also cant give an empty purse. You give it with a coin in otherwise the recipient will have financial problems.

We are a weird little species 🤣

I'm loving these bracelets here. I've got some but would like more.
Maybe a nightdress from Cyberjammies, a cosy oversized cashmere cardigan ( but haven't actually seen the right one) and a new Speedo swimming costume.

Trainers
i really like my Gucci and dior perfumes
There are a couple jumpers I want on Asda
I also collect willow tree figures

Lego botanicals

I also sent DH a link to a crochet blanket pack I wanted 😂

Red merino jumper
Genevieve Sweeney socks
Quilting and embroidery kits from Clothkits and Wattle and Loop
Chocolate covered cherries
Clarins Eau Dynamiste body lotion

We have stopped buying each other gifts and use the money for a Caribbean cruise in January.

Oh wow really, I’m thinking of a fresh pair of Ugg Taz this year but feel guilty because although 3 years old still perfectly serviceable!

I say every year… it’s been the last 2 but I picked light colours stupidly so they are ruined. I’m going for dark brown this year so I probably won’t be getting them again next year 😂

A passport!

Not been abroad for 16 years and have booked a week away to Menorca next May with DD (24). DH had no interest in beach style holidays so just the two of us. So I have told him no presents (which I assume he will ignore as I have also said I would like a specific bottle of gin!!) and I will buy my passport.

So excited already!
