....For Christmas?

We're all talking about what to get others, so lets think of ourselves!

I'd really love a big hamper full of goodies - problem is my OH just doesn't get the hint! No matter how I tell him, I've even said "I'd love a hamper" pmsl!! Maybe he'll suprise me....... :rolleyes:

I've written a list on my mobile which I am going to send to him (then he can't say he's lost it or left it at home whilst shopping!!!!) This is it so far:

Body shop or Boots vitamin E facial range
New Look vouchers
Make up - mascara, nail polish, foundation, YSL touche eclat, cuticle clipper, nail art stickers
Socks
Pyjamas
Slippers
Perfume

That would all be perfect in a pretty box :rotfl:

What would you like Santa to bring you?

    I'd like him to wait at least 3 months before even thinking about it. It's barely September !!!!!!! :rolleyes:

    Each to their own!

    It maybe early September but many of us have to be organised for Christmas - especially if we have a lot of presents to buy.

    I can understand that, but this thread is about what you want others to buy you! I don't think that requires much advance organisation (especially as it's all day to day stuff anyway). I mean, it's not like Primark sell out of socks in August is it?! :rotfl:

    Well personally I don't see the harm in thinking of ourselves instead of others all the time! It was only a little bit of fun..............................

  • no problems with this thread at all!

    what would I lke?

    well I'd like my DD1 to recover from ME.

    If I can't have that I'll settle for some P&Q - a good book to read and

    SOMEONE TO DO THE IRONING........

    But my DH of nearly 22 years did say last year - 'you know how Amazon works - order your own presents!'
