I can't believe it, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for my christmas list. :shock: Never usually have trouble, but this year for some reason I'm totally uninspired.

 

So far all I've been able to suggest are a couple of books, slippers and scarfs, there must be something else I'd like.

 

What's everyone else put on their wish list?

 

Edited To say: Trying to keep it to under £25.

No presents for me...very happy to be getting a new dishwasher next week as mine has bee playing up for an eternity now :D

 

Last year I asked family to donate what they would have given me to the SCBU at the hospital where my daughter was cared for for the first 12 weeks of her life...I am receiving money from the outlaws :lol: this year and I will be donating that too :D

Well I have been asking for a pony every year since I was 5 years old - hoping that Santa is actually going to bring me one one of these days! :lol: Bit over your £25 budget though, sorry.

I always like smellies gift sets, cooking/baking bits and bobs, perfume, chickenalia, edibles, jewellery... I think I must be quite easy to buy for!

I stopped hinting a year or so ago as all that happened was I got a very grumpy husband panicking on Christmas eve because he never picked up on the 'I would really like x - please get me that for Christmas' hints and just buy my presents. I asked OH if he wanted me to show him before I wrapped them. :lol:

 

I always ask for the Booker prize shortlist - The book people do them for £25-£30 for all 6 every year

I always have the latest Georg Jensen Christmas ornament from Denmark that I started collecting many years ago when I used to go to Denmark a lot for work

This year I also got a couple of other books from the book people (Rachel Johnson's account of her time at the Lady sounded amusing)

 

I was eyeing up nice riding gloves but bought some cheap ones for use immediately as it got too cold to wait.

 

I would like a kindle but that feels too extravagant to buy for myself.

Look for some jewelly you like. I love getting jewelly, I always think of the person I got it from when I wear it. I got a Pandora bracelet for my mum last year and for every occasion I by her a charm or two. She remembers when she got every charm and it makes her bracelet very special for her. :D

There isn't anything I want or need. I'm spoilt by Mr Griffin who always lets me buy whatever I want to anyway. I don't often buy stuff for myself but I had wanted a new incubator for ages and I got the one I wanted at a bargain price a few months ago. My parents always buy me Lush stuff and my favourite perfume so luckily I'm all sorted :D

I haven't asked for anything this year, I can't think of anything I want or need.

 

I will be very happy as long OH cooks the Christmas lunch and clears up afterwards (he does this every year :D ) and a supply of Quality Street to eat whilst watching a film on the TV in the afternoon :D

Well I have everything on my Christmas list - I know because I've bought it :D After several disastrous presents from OH early in our relationship, I buy my own. I have bought a lovely comfy pair of purple boots, a puzzlesafe for 2000 piece jigsaw puzzles, some perfume and a cd.

Dear Santa,

I have tried to be a Good Girl this year.

In fact, in the run up to Christmas i have been a very good girl.

So to help me in the kitchen when my hands aren't being

nice to me . I would very much like the electric Potato Peeler

on Amazon.

A few goodies from the Boots No 7 range are always

welcome.

I know OH said i could have the Cuisinart soup maker, but it

is on this list just to make sure.( as i can't find any evidence of

it in my house.)

Some Chocies are needed too....Not the sort made for sharing.

And finally anything with a Chicken theme for the house.

Thank You.

 

P.S.

The Port and mince pie are just for you, there is some hay and carrots for Rudolf.

After the disaster that was my birthday (a card from OH and my 2 boys - that's all :roll: ) I have chilled somewhat and don't really mind if I get anything. I've bought some fab sheepskin slippers (my feet have been freezing so I'm wearing them already!)

 

I've also chilled with regards to their presents. They're getting the bare minimum :twisted: .

ANH, that sounds like my house.....!

I'd quite like a sub to country living, (or Saga!!)

Choc, not the kind you share

Some book tokens, never have enough books!

Money, so I can go mad in the bead cellar without feeling guilty

Some peace and quiet, without Jeremy Clarkson's voice in my house, DS......

Well we went Aberystwyth on the train yesterday & hubby bought himself some waterproof ski suit type overalls for doing the chickens in. :lol: A good idea on these cold mornings. But that is what I was going to get him. (cube green) Have offered to pay for them - but he won't accept. So still need to think what to get him. He says he needs no more clothes - he doesn't wear any jewellery - not even a watch. Oh & the only aftershave he'll wear is Body shop - which he has loads of.

He has some new wellies - so doesn't need any more.

Help! He loves technology, gadgets & outdoorsy stuff. Any ideas?

 

P.S Don't know why a green cube has appeared in my post - he's not getting one of those! :lol:

Dear Santa,

 

I have tried to be good :angel: , but I know I dont always succeed :( . I would love a Kindle for christmas, with one of the covers with a light so I dont keep OH awaake reading at night. If thats not possible the new River Cottage book would be fab.

Happy Christmas
