Prepare for my first world problem
My bf has asked me to send him things for him to choose from for x mas.

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?

I bought myself a v exp leather jacket in sept so won't get a present from h this year! But do want a good quality, black cherry coloured nail polish - any rec's?

I'm hoping for Rosie for Autograph make up, it's my new obsession!

Kleptronic · 17/11/2017 22:19

A pony. I won't get one mind, but every year I ask. Actually tell a lie I got a Steiff one once.

I have started stashing a few things in the loft for DH to "give" me at Christmas. Nice things I actually want, but are a bit extravagant to buy without reason. So far:

Purple Adidas Campus trainers
Pewter tote bag
Silver bangle

neveradullmoment99 · 17/11/2017 23:05

Nothing. Christmas is just for the kids in our house.

ButteredScone · 17/11/2017 23:09

Smelly stuff from Diptyque
New slippers at discretion of giver
New pjs to my exact specification
Cheese, chutney, crackers

Mominatrix · 17/11/2017 23:09

Kiera, what about Chanel’s Rouge Noir? It’s the classic very dark cherry with the emphasis on dark.

BusterGonad · 18/11/2017 18:49

Rouge Noir is lovely, I think the colour is based on dried blood so it's a very dark black cherry colour. I have it and it gets a lot of compliments.

BuzzKillington · 18/11/2017 18:55

I like to make it really hard and never ask for anything. As a result, dh spends December in a state of anxiety.

KeiraTwiceKnightley · 18/11/2017 19:06

I do love the colour of Rouge Noir. Have heard it chips like a beeatch tho?

A1Sharon · 18/11/2017 19:41

Chanel nail polish colours are a cut above any others, IMO. But they do indeed chip, usually before you leave the house! But if it is just for one night they really are great colours.

MimiDeLaSun · 18/11/2017 20:58

Can I ask a question?

How do you say Dipytique? Blush

mowglik · 18/11/2017 21:12

Mine are a bit random, we have a £10 ish budget for each other and have overshot just a little here Wink

Hoodys from sports direct
Stag head tumbler
Green cashmere scarf from cos
And just to get really ridiculous on a £10 budget, a fortnum and mason xmas hamper

BusterGonad · 18/11/2017 21:36

My Chanel rouge Noir is in fact good, I've had another that was silvery and metallic and that was awful, streaky and chippy.

BlueEyedWonder · 18/11/2017 22:36

Cambridge Satchel Company cloud bag in black leather
Just Sheepskin boots
Hush cashmere leopard print scarf
Chanel Coco Madamoiselle perfume

But in reality:
Hotel Chocolat chocolates
Seville guide book for a pending trip
John Lewis gift voucher

PNGirl · 18/11/2017 23:42

I love my Cloud bag!

I have asked for a couple of albums, a Le Creuset teapot, some of the posh new Body Shop facemask, a black scarf and a new leather belt. I'll usually get Soap and Glory plus candles. No idea what DH will get me. Last year it was a surprise dinosaur necklace from Tatty Devine!
