Little present you would like

[Confuzzleduzzled]

I’ve realised I like lots of little things to open rather than one big thing. What little things (from £5 to £30) are on your own Christmas wish list?

Just got a candle warmer so I can have lovely scents but no black marks everywhere.

if I had such a list here are my thoughts:

Bath oil
Hyacinths
Red fingerless gloves from M&S
Lucy Foley Agatha Christie murder type book (can’t recall at mo what it is called)
French hair pin
Lovely soap
Lisa Eldridge new concealer
Isles if Scilly scented narcissis
A different coloured ink from Toms Studio

Err chocolate is always on my list. Things like lindt, ferrero rochet and a chocolate orange.

Gloves as I always lose mine ( so mine are always cheap ones).

Shower gel from the body shop, especially the satsuma one.

Lego if the price is right.

It used to be nice pens but I have a lot of those and I don't use them.

£30 is a "main" present to me not a little one but....
Paperbacks
Lego/other brand sets
Chocolates
Bubble baths
Small craft things
Keyrings
Pin badges
(this does make me sound like I am 12 😂)

Anybody know any good individually wrapped shower steamers?

I have a working list on elfster and Amazon but it’s things like new colouring pens/books, bubble bath, anything in the comforter scent from lush, a fair few books, fluffy socks, a hooded robe from shein, my perfume, earrings, a make up palette, lip balms, shampoo and conditioner, specialist conditioning treatments, a couple of mugs and a tote bag. A bath holder as mine broke earlier this year (it became a battleground between the squeaky creature patrol and action man and apparently action man karate chopped it too hard, making the wood split!) a hairbrush and a purse are also on there, as they are things I use daily and could do with new ones (there’s a split in my current wooden brush and my purse is hanging on by a thread!)
Obviously this has been curated over time, but that’s the stuff I like and will use and enjoy.

There’s some good ones on Amazon, made by a company called Waltz, we’ve had them and they’re really nice

Thank you-that was quick!

Most things from here to last me a year: https://www.frenchsoaps.co.uk
Also a treat from here: https://mademoisellemacaron.co.uk
And some Substack Subscriptions.

This year everyone is getting a +/- £20 present from Vinted. There are some great bargains to be had. The DC ask for cash and we have everything we want but there still needs to be something to open on the day..

DH a lovely rust coloured pure merino wool jumper. Just his size BNWT.

DS more plates for the V&B Artesano collection I’ve decided to build for him. 6 for less than the price of 2 new. He left home with a mishmash of pans and dishes from his grandmother.
Plus a large LED camping torch/lantern in case of breakdowns in the snow 😱.

DD a waterproof (!) replica of her ancient Eastpak.

Me: A couple of cookbooks and the fourth novel of a quartet I started a year ago. Much cheaper than Amazon second hand.
I have an authentic Pringle kilt on my favourites list but I’m playing the long game on that one.
