Something that I wouldn't buy for myself, so for me that would be something like a gorgeous smelling bubble bath or hand cream.

Indecisivejo · 24/05/2015 16:39

Do they have a favourite place to shop? I would always like a gift voucher for somewhere I like to go.

ggirl · 24/05/2015 16:41

would prefer actual gift , not sure about shops

Hand cream or nail polish

Hassled · 24/05/2015 16:42

Nice hand cream. I always want nice hand cream.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 24/05/2015 16:46

Right at this moment, I'd be very happy with a pair of earrings or a bracelet.

Otherwise, a mini Aveda Hand Relief hand cream, and a nail varnish.

Really good quality lip balm, like Nuxe.

Hand cream - Molton brown have some really good ones for £10

A lovely notebook/stationary from Waterstones.

A leather Oyster card holder, Jigsaw have beautiful ones for £12

Cosmetic accessories that you wouldn't usually buy, like MAC make up brush cleanser, good quality sharpener.

Tangle Teezer

WowOoo · 24/05/2015 16:55

I'd like some quality shampoo from Aveda or Keihl's (sp?).

I love a decent shampoo but it's something I'd never buy as it's too extravagant.

ggirl · 24/05/2015 17:00

thanks some lovely ideas

A nice candle.

An orchid in a pot

FairyPenguin · 24/05/2015 17:05

A nice bottle of wine.

Or some nice chocolates.

NowhereNow · 24/05/2015 17:37

A mug
A notebook
Good quality chocolate
A novel
I haven't tried it myself but Steam cream was recommended on here and they have a 3 tins for £30 promotion on their website. The tins are lovely.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/05/2015 17:42

Steam Cream is lovely if you like lavender.

Vegan too ! Smile

Burt's bees citrus body oil it smells amazing. My 10 year old dd follows my round sniffing when I get out of the shower!

Tweezertastic · 24/05/2015 19:54

If you buy something at M and S and use the code MAY15EM then you get 20% off including stoners and selected beauty. Hurry though as it runs out tomorrow

Tweezertastic · 24/05/2015 19:55

Stationery not stoners!

Glitteryfrog · 24/05/2015 19:56

Something nice from papaerchase.
I have to hotdesk at work, I'd like a new pencil case or some nice pens or something?

Brookville · 24/05/2015 20:19

Somebody mentioned scented candles. I've been through a lot of different brands (most are rubbish) and IMO the best are the Country Candle ones in a tin which are about £8 and truly leave an amazing fragrance in the room. My favourite is Amber and Lavender which is neither sickly sweet nor overly feminine/floral. You can get them on Amazon or in Squires garden centers.

Saurus72 · 24/05/2015 20:21

Hotel Chocolate treats - extravagant and delicious.

yomellamoHelly · 24/05/2015 20:24

Slab of chocolate from Hotel Chocolat. Lovely notebook and pen. Bath bombs from lush. Steam cream.

AmandaTanen · 24/05/2015 20:24

A nice notebook from paper chase, some bit of bling, a small box of lush stuff (controversial on here), a nail polish and file, a voucher for a file and polish, bottle of wine, a meal for 2 from M&S, a deco patch kit from our local shop that holds craft days etc.

Elllimam · 24/05/2015 20:38

A lot of normal chocolate (like galaxy) rather than a small amount of fancy chocolate. You could get quite a lot of galaxy for a tenner. Or wine is nice.

Coastingit · 24/05/2015 21:09

Hotel Chocolat gin and tonic truffles. Or Neal's Yard hand cream. Or a pretty delicate silver bracelet.

PippiLicious · 24/05/2015 21:12

Yy to Nuxe (from M&S). Gorgeous stuff.

Or This Works. Lovely stuff too, esp their sleep balm.

PrincessShcherbatskaya · 24/05/2015 21:22

Something I wouldn't normally want to fork put a tenner for myself.
Luxury hand cream or soap.
Posh bubble bath or body butter.
Slippers or cozy lounge socks.
Posh shampoo or conditioning treatment.
Moroccan oil? Not sure if this is under a tenner.
A nice note book.
Suddenly I'm thinking of loads of things for my Christmas list!
