I have so far picked all the clothes I like from
Topshop and zara.

And some fab boots from Asos.

I cannot think what else 🙃

Can I ask what your all asking for this year for some inspiration?

The most tragic thing I am asking for this year is vouchers to the local soft play/farm shop. Grin I know that makes me sound like a loser, but I am on a bit of a budget and love the idea of sitting enjoying a cappuchino whilst dd wears herself out, all paid for by someone else.

An overlocker, so I can make t-shirts, leggings etc to the quality/fit I want.

Vouchers for manicures or facials are also nice. And yes to PJs, slippers, dressing gowns, candles, bubble baths etc.

My prezzie is sorted. I’ve got a nice peridot set in a silver ring with CZ. As the stone itself is top quality, DH is getting it reset in gold with diamonds as my birthday and Christmas prezzie combined.
