Maybe it's a hint.
Maybe he doesn't know what 'posh chocs' are.
Maybe your cat got to them on Christmas Eve after the shops shut and nom nom nom will be doing the same this year.

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:08

See, posh chocs are dull and you want them.

I bloody want dull eye-wateringly expensive french soap. And scented candles, and body lotion.

I'd have any of it. Rather than witty, artfully and tastefully illustrated books. I want frigging scented candles.

I wouldn't trust anyone else to buy me perfume.

Am v fussy about what I wear

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:15

I once gave dh detailed instructions on how to find Jo Malone's shop. He said it was the sort of place where men send their secretary's to buy presents for their wives. All impersonal.

I am thinking of hiring him a secretary.

I like presents though, I am very grateful for everything that comes wrapped up.

WilfSell · 13/12/2009 16:15

Yes, but you tell em. For example, I have sent useless DH an Amazon Wishlist. And in the email I tacked on a link to the Jo Malone fragrance combining started kit. Rather hopefully optimistic but hey, he needs to be told otherwise it will be the Top Gear DVD fiasco all over again.

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:15

You need to specify purplehat.

WilfSell · 13/12/2009 16:16

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:16

I've noticed people on here often VERY grumpy about presents

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:17

Me and Wilf smell of Jo Malone 'Hope'

oi meringue. How old do the youngest of 3 boys have to be before you can stop refereeing leave the house on a sunday to go to gym? I am going to be fat for ever I think because they like to practice killing each other all weekend.

MeringueUtan · 13/12/2009 16:26

ds3 is watching tv
ds1 and ds2 are out on road skateboarding together.

I am very happy when DH buys me perfume for Christmas. I much prefer it to kitchen gear and clothes that don't fit me.

FabioTwitterCat · 13/12/2009 16:38

ds3 is watching tv FOR NOW
I sense he will be useful in ladder holding

And do not use ds2 as cruet. How odd.

You have wayyyy more twitterpeeps than me.

Did you see m'announcement about B'Fogle?

ThumbleBells · 13/12/2009 16:40

I have categorically told DH that he is NEVER to buy me perfume as 95%+ of all perfumes smell like cats' wee on me after a couple of mins. I have to choose my own. It takes years sometimes to find one that works (still looking for a replacement for Black Pearls by Elizabeth Taylor )

Most unwanted for me = toiletries. I mostly don't use them; having said that, a good friend introduced me to a new shampoo/conditioner last year that is similar to the Aveda stuff I normally use, so she is let off the hook!

And I bloody hate scented candles, especially if they have vanilla in!

ahundredtimes · 13/12/2009 16:43

Oh no, you don't want vanilla. No, no. You want ludicrously expensive ones of lime blossom and rosemary or similar.

Earthstar · 13/12/2009 16:43

I actually find all perfume FOUL
The person who sits next to me at work wears a variety of strong perfumes that invade my personal space in a very negative fashion
