What is on you S&B wishlist for Santa?

[Maryqueenofchocs]

Have you something gorgeous on your wish list this xmas, please share, I need inspiration.....

DH and I are not exchanging gifts this year due to the recession, but I secretely covet a gorgeous pair of beautiful diamante drop earrings I have seen in a local shop. T'would be fab with a LBD!

A mulberry purse and an Anya Hindmarch clutch bag.

Suspect I will get a diptyque candle though

Ooh like the sounds of AH clutch traceybath, which one? although tbh I do have far too many handbags already....

Its this one but as I say I won't get it but always like to add some expensive stuff to my list so DH gets a laugh

Great clutch, Tracey!

So far the only S&B items I have on the list are a couple of Marc Jacobs perfumes (I like the Daisy and Lola bottles, both gorgeous smelling and attractive looking bottles).

I have asked dh for the babliss root boost thing and a facial toner machine.

These lovely boots but not a chance sadly.

Realistically, a new watch but still pondering what sort.

I've got this leather bag on mine..saw it today and have sent wishlist to DH already...

tan bag

Some Clarins stuff;
a leaf necklace;
a silver cuff;
a grey cashmere jumper.

I think I'll get the first one of these.

A fur coat
A diamond ring
A macbook

Chances are DP will think technology is more fun than accessories!

hmm am still thinking about what to wish for

I usually think of these things in July then forget

Bonsoir I want your wish list. sadly my DH would choke. Tracey that bag is worth killing someone for, and Strictly

Maryqueenofchocs - you have to train your DH not to choke but to understand that taking a girl's wish list seriously makes them much sexier . Took me a while...

Ahhhh, bonsoir if only that would work in my house......

Maryqueenofchocs, Bonsoir's advice on convincing DHs to gift as per list rather than a cut-price approach is spot on. Works for me every year :o

I have no idea what to ask for this year. Which is highly unusual for me. DH already bought me a tummy tuck (and some lovely lingerie to celebrate ;) ) back in July.

I hate indecision though. Come forth S&B lovelies and inspire me!

Surely if you've got a new tummy you want new winter party dresses to show it off?

Actually a dress is a fab idea. Thanks Bonsoir :)

Bonsoir - I told DH your theory and he said he can live without being sexy!

In these times of austerity I am hoping for the following

Joules necklace
Clinique serum
Chanel perfume
Organic truffles

I did put a new garden conservatory on the list but it won't happen!

I said train...

Instructions please Bonsoir...step by step if you please.

Diamonds have been made to wait long enough! Bracelet and drop earrings. Cannot wait!

You have to drip feed the idea... you start talking about a friend of a friend whose DH bought them [insert desired luxury item] for birthday/Xmas/whatever and say things like "Of course I know it's terribly extravagant and cost the same as a new car, but, just for a minute, putting aside the expense, it really is lovely." And then, on another occasion, you talk about same woman and her fantastically happy couple/lovely home life etc. You go on in this vein for several years a few months and gradually your DH (quite unconsciously) normalises that kind of present expenditure in the context of a very loving relationship.

That's a super-brief synopsis of technique .

Rofl at that, Bonsoir . I very much like your style .

You see my guide to getting good gifts from DH is more like this:

• 'am sorry but where is my christmas present because surely this artificially scented cranberry candle is an amusing joke - ha ha ha' - next year received a very lovely watch

• birthday this year - 'ha ha ha where is my present though really - oh you haven't had time to get anything - rrrriiight'. 2 weeks later - diamond eternity ring appears.

Am hopeful that this christmas will not involve such distressing scenarios and to be fair last christmas he did surprise me with a mulberry handbag.

And of course we all know its the thought not money that counts but seriously how much thought in a cranberry candle - not even diptyque for goodness sake.

So Anna - fur - real fur and which type? Is fur acceptable in Paris?
