    Xmas have not thought about but it was my birthday in October and I had an electric food slicer (its brill) and a new clothes airer. I would much rather spend money on things we need than on irrelavant tat! I also have put the cash i got from other family member into our holiday saving account so it can pay towards the taxi to the airport.

    Coincidentally, I also asked for a sausage stuffer! It was delivered last week and I have been allowed to open it and have a look. :D I made some sausages at the weekend, but with my Kenwood Chef. I haven't christened the stuffer yet. You'll be pleased to hear that the bangers have been a huge success ( we've just had some for tea!) and I'll never buy another commercially made sausage, ever. My friends all think I'm completely barking of course - but nothing new there.

    I'd really like a cake stand, some silicon muffin tins and anything from Nigella's range in Debenhams. Last year my hubby got me posh perfume + smellies- how things change!

  • I only have small household items that I put on my wish list, like a calendar, for me Christmas is about the only time I get to be pampered, so perfume etc is always high up on the list.

    After putting my family first all year round, a good treat is definitely over due!

  • After last year's spendfest we are cutting right down this time - I think we might limit ourselves to spending just £20 on each other (that's me and my DH) and out of that I would like a cookery book, a pastry brush and a cake tin :D:D

    My mum's got me a slowcooker

    I want craft stuff too. I have more than enough body products to last until DD is my age!

  • We did a car boot sale on Sunday and I noticed one of the proper traders selling some very groovy patterned shopping trolley's for £12.99. I'll be asking my dad for one of them. DH has already said he won't be seen out with me with one!
