soapdragon Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think that I am relativley easy to buy for but I would be really dispointed with: A 'Onesie' - I wore loads of these aged 0 - 2 years and don't want to look like a giant Telletubbie (however you spell it! ) Anything to do with sport - My daily Wii Fit sessions are torture enough DIY Stuff (unless it included Nick Knowles,with or without wet suit!) - Any DIY I have ever done has involved paying someone else loads of money to do again/repair ! That said, I'd be grateful for just about anything else! Is there anything that anyone would really not want and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 A Onesie here too ... or a Slanket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Anything house related that I haven't specifically asked for (and I haven't specifically asked for anything!). I mentioned a few weeks ago that a handheld vacuum would be useful and OH said "Oh, I could get you one for Christmas" One year he bought me a steriliser. Yes, I was pregnant, but c'mon, really? A steriliser?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Ornaments,twiddly things & anything that hangs on the wall. I find that other peoples taste is often wildly different from mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Definitely nothing for the home, ornaments or otherwise. The thought of me in a onesie is too horrible to contemplate. Picking up a new kitten on 23rd (as long as there is no snow as its three hours away) so I am a happy girl for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 A book by Nigela Lawson. The very thought of being an 'ideal housewife' brings me out in a cold sweat Agree with Cinnamon about ornaments but not because of other people's taste, more because I have so many already they cover just about any available shelf Clothes of any kind - this is where my taste seems to differ wildly from anyone else's especially from any man in my family from my own OH to my sister's OH. to high heels, short skirts, black or red underwear, tights with holes all over them and leather trousers - all in my view as bad as a onesie or a slanket Any form of technology e.g. mobile, iPad, Kindle because I really do like to choose my own to suit my particular preferences. Am I hard to shop for? Rather think I might be Actually I'd be quite happy with nothing more than the odd small thing for my chooks or my dogs.

Valkyrie Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Needles Any more garden tools! I have enough from OH to start my own garden centre! Jewellery - I very rarely wear any and it would be a sad waste of money. I'd rather them save it or spend it on themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 One of those sprout truncheon things. My mum and dad gave me one once for a laugh, but I didn't think it that funny - I CAN'T STAND SPROUTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Great thread! Actually, I wouldn't mind a onesie - for indoor/private wear only, this house is so flippin' cold I think it would be quite cosy! I'm usually to be found in my fleecy pyjamas and full-length dressing gown if I'm not expecting visitors. Please, Father Christmas, if you love me at all ... don't leave me any chocolates. I can't resist them, and there is always so much food at Christmas that I don't need any encouragement to gorge myself. The worst ever present has to be when my (now ex) husband bought me the 'A Question of Sport' game. He actually wanted it himself, so he wrapped it up and gave it to me. I was not amused.

snowberry Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 My neighbour got a cement mixer from her husband one year They are now divorced I hate to sound ungrateful, but I don't like people wasting their money on me; It's easier if I just buy it for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should start an unwanted xmas pressie swap in the new year! Isn't that what school tombolas are for? My grandchildren are obsessed with the things and collect all sorts of tat before 'winning' the bottle of Schloer apple juice We have to keep it all ready for the next collection....some things reappear every time!

Griffin Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I'd hate to find a Kindle. Mr Griffin has mentioned it a number of times and I cannot express strongly enough how much I love books and would hate not to hold a book, smell it's pages etc. I like Thorntons chocolates but am very fussy about which ones, if he buys me anything but Continental again I will scream. Smellies too, I know what I like and I buy it when I want, a few people know what I like but I'm sick of his famly wasting their money on stuff I hate.
