Christmas Present ideas - what do YOU actually want?

Hezzawithkids

50-something married mum of two working full-time (and then some). I've been very good this year so please may can I have:-

A waterproof MP3 player (which would encourage me to go swimming more)
A brie baker
An Easi-Yo maker (with all the ingredients)
The 2012 Olympic Games DVD on blu-ray
Big Bang Theory boxed set
James Bond movies collection
Clarins bubble bath
Some new perfume - but you'll have to choose it as I can't decide which one

Thank you!!

I'm early 30s, long term relationship, work full-time, no kids.

Going to be a very tight xmas for us so this is purely an 'if only' list!
I would love a laptop.
To have the money to buy everyone else nice pressies.
I'm also an aspiring writer and my first book is being released on 14th December (xmas themed) so I suppose my dream pressie would be for that to do really well

I'm in my early 40s, separated with two teenage girls.

I would love
A Radley over body bag
Perfume
DVD of the Olympics

First christmas without husband to buy pressies for me, so I doubt I'll get any of them, unless I smile nicely at my mum or sister.:rotfl:

Oow you should let us know the name of the book. On the "Let it snow"
thread we love a Christmas book. Is it for kids or adults?

It's called An Angel for the Tree - it's an adult ebook so will be on Amazon etc. It's a holiday romance - with a little bit of a magical twist (since it's Christmas of course!) I might have a pop over to the Let it Snow thread
I've been really excited about it for months since I got the acceptance, but now it's starting to sink in that it's actually coming out in a few weeks so am starting to get rather nervous that it either won't sell any, or it'll sell but people won't like it The joys of being a writer!

I would like Mary Portas knickers because they look really comfy and all my primani ones are shedding elastic.

And I would really like (and have asked for) a Gruffalo pencil case with 3 sections. I have made this very clear, as when I asked for it last year I was given a Hello Kitty single section one. For which I was grateful, but as this list is about what I really want....
I would settle for one of my family actually listening to my description of the pencil case and then getting that, and not letting their brains morph the words into "what I'd really like is Halo 4 for xbox" or something.

40's, married, 2 kids, work from home.
I don't really need anything TBH, but I'd like to see all my family at xmas time and I'd like my children to have a few nice surprises on xmas morning after a difficult couple of years.
I wouldn't say no to the Game of Thrones DVDs, and I have asked my sister for the new Nigella book. Also I think DH has got me a Kipling purse since I found it in the wardrobe and it matches my handbag. Bless.

I want whatever the giver wants to give me. I know they will get something lovely.
