I've had a little think about stuff as my mum has already asked, so far I have...
Oil of Olay beauty fluid,
A piggy calender (mum always gets my one)
A new pot for sealed pot challenge 2010
But that's it, not very exciting for a 25 year old!
Hey your list is more exciting than mine, and I'm 25 too- A new set of dishes (mine are old and chipped)
- Some new cultery - I have odd knifes and forks and am down to my last 2 teaspoons (I think OH is eating them), if there is more than 2 of dining then I use DS weaning spoons :rotfl:
- A nice pair of leather gloves, I have hinted already - if I was to get these for myself I'd probably go to Primark/TK Maxx but I was a posh pair, lol
- A new going out perfume (not that I ever go anywhere)
- Sex and the city on DVD - I asked for this for my birthday last year, Christmas last year and my birthday this year - it's only a £4.99!!
- A 2010 calander
- Money for a new duvet cover (to get from Debenhams in the Sale - I know not MSE)
As it's DS 1st first christmas I would rather people get him than me but i can dream
I can guarantee what I will be receiving
Mum- Versace Red Jeans Perfume, tin of roses and slippers (every year for the past 9 years)
Dad - Cheque
Nan - Avon perfume
OH - Overpriced Smellies from Next (He will get them on Christmas Eve at full price - Not very mse!!)
Brother - Chocolates
Sister - Smellies
Nieces - Something personalised from out of the Studio Catalogue
Edit **Scrap all of the above the only thing I REALLY want is a Merry Christmas Mum card**
OH didn't get me a Happy Birthday Mum card from DS and I didn't speak to him all day (Harsh I know but I was really upset)0 -
Its my b'day in October and Im getting 2 bottles of perfume then (OH is very predictable. The only gift he has EVER bought me without me knowing was a bottle of Vera Wang Princess perfume when we first started going out 3 years ago - which was very much welcomed. Now I have to choose my own presents :rolleyes:) so for Xmas off him Im getting £200 so I can go and choose a new mobile phone. (My money's on the Blackberry Pearl)
Dont know what Im getting off my mum but no doubt it will be fab. I have everything I really want so whatever I get will be a bonus!*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200 -
I like the idea of list writing. I'll get to mine for my OH. What I really want is for my eldest to behave - perhaps he needs to be diagnosed with ADHD - but if there was a magic pill that he would take to improve his behaviour I'd have that in a flash!Me, OH, grown DS, (other DS left home) and Mum (coming up 80!). Considering foster parenting. Hints and tips on saving £ always well received. Xx
March 1st week £80 includes a new dog bed though £63 was food etc for the week.0 -

Its my own fault really, every year when he asks what I want for xmas I say nothing, there's nothing I need.
So I get nothing, I think i've had a last minute toiletry set ocassionally lol
The kids are too young to go and get anything for me themselves.0 -
That's no excuse, when you say 'there's nothing I need' that's secret code for 'so get me something lovely that I don't need but is gorgeous anyway', every man should know this. When he asks what you want this year, give him a list of luxuries for yourself
Or don't buy him anything and see how he likes it.

A bit off subject! but, my favourite Christmas pressie of all time was when my son aged 3 went to the local Chemist with his Auntie and bought me a bottle of nail varnish.
It was the most horrible colour but, he wrapped it himself (which was really just screwed up paper) and I loved it!0 -

This year - tell him you'd like vouchers, then you can keep them and spend them as you need to :T That way you don't feel left out but you still have something as and when you need it!A bit off subject! but, my favourite Christmas pressie of all time was when my son aged 3 went to the local Chemist with his Auntie and bought me a bottle of nail varnish.
