Christmas Present ideas - what do YOU actually want?

Posts: 97 Forumite
We see loads of articles in magazines suggesting present ideas for people but how about reversing this and having a thread where we identify ourselves by a certain category (eg teenager, grandmother, career woman, middle-aged guy, person who has everything (I wish!) and saying what we'd actually like to receive? This might then help someone who has to buy a present for a person in that category.
Ideally, this is where I start the ball rolling and say what category I fit into and what I'd like. Hmmmm........I'm going to have a think and repost with my gift list.

60 something married mum of 4 (& 2 in-laws), grandma of 5.
I don't much like big surprises (miserable so & so aren't I?) as none of my family really seem to know me or my tastes.
I'd like Kirstie Allsopp's new book, some clothes (which I will have to choose), some fluffy slipper socks, a pair of mule-type slippers, a photo of all my grandchildren together (keep asking for that but I haven't had one for 5 years now
) and a new stick blender please.;) 0 -
I'm 59 and i'd like a bike,but an electric one.
I've seen the one i want but at £2k should i treat myself.
If i can't have a bike can i have a big blond.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
