Please give me ideas of what to ask for for Christmas!

It's my birthday the week before Christmas too. Friends and family asking me what I would like, and I have NO IDEA. Usually just buy myself whatever I need or fancy, because up until a month ago I had a very well paid job. However, because it was a short term contract I'm now unemployed. I can afford the essentials so I don't need to ask for money, although they would give me cash if I did ask. I'd quite like nice things to cheer myself up though.

So, wondered if you lovely style and beauty ladies could help. The only thing I've asked for so far has been from a recommendation on here, a Becksonndergard Scarf (XL Beige with Red dots) which my mum has ordered for my birthday. She wants something else to go with it.

Just before my job ended I was on holiday and bought myself some perfume in duty free and on the plane-figuring it may be the last time for a while I would be able to treat myself. So I don't need perfume, have plenty now.

What would you be asking for, if you had some cash to spend? I have around £15-£20 from mum for my birthday, around £50-£80 for Christmas, and a couple of £20s from other relatives who want to buy me something. And I'm stuck!

What was the perfume- is there a shower gel or body lotion to match?

Do you have pandora/ troll beads that are easy to add to?

Tickets for the cinema or theatre?

l'occitane hamper, u can afford the essentials as u have said, but these are such lovely 'essentials' Grin
How about something electrical like hairstyling equipment or toothbrush?

I usually by my family treatments or vouchers for the beauticians a little bit of luxury at their convenience, now get asked to buy them again and again
