bigmommasally Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I can't believe it, but I'm having trouble coming up with ideas for my christmas list. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I dont even have one. Goodness knows what'll be forthcoming................ but I'm sure I'll love it; hope so, anyway!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 No presents for me...very happy to be getting a new dishwasher next week as mine has bee playing up for an eternity now 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 this year and I will be donating that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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! 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!

Willow Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie7 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 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.

Griffin Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 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 ) and a supply of Quality Street to eat whilst watching a film on the TV in the afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meezers Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well I have everything on my Christmas list - I know because I've bought it 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 What I really want is for someone to declutter my house But they will have to read my mind and only throw away the things I won't miss (I think I'll be doing this myself in the new year ) I don't really need anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 After the disaster that was my birthday (a card from OH and my 2 boys - that's all ) 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 .

freddie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 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......

craftyhunnypie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Well we went Aberystwyth on the train yesterday & hubby bought himself some waterproof ski suit type overalls for doing the chickens in. A good idea on these cold mornings. But that is what I was going to get him. 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! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miffy Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Dear Santa, I have tried to be good , 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.

Christian Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Help! He loves technology, gadgets & outdoorsy stuff. Any ideas? What about a kelly kettle? Or a power monkey/chimp to charge mobiles up? You can get solar powered ones too. I think OH has hacked into my amazon wish list, so hoping for a couple of books on the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I have solar tech for charging my mobile , ds lite,i-pod and sony reader.
