I am a 32 year old married mum of a 2 year old girl.

I would love:
new knickers - nothing fancy

a sewing basket. the M&S Kirstie Allsop one is quite nice. Failing that, Cath Kidston is usually a good bet

new pajamas - long sleeves, full length legs, the M&S Autograph jersey modal type ones at £40 a pop (eek!) like these http://www.marksandspencer.com/Autograph-Satin-Trim-Pyjama-Top/dp/B003ADKOHS?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_2&nodeId=61307031&sr=1-2&qid=1352582668&pf_rd_r=0XGP4WF28FF2BRN4NQDC&pf_rd_m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=61307031&pf_rd_p=321381387&pf_rd_s=related-items-3

knitting things from my favourite shop - Three Bags Full yarn shop in Halifax

a voucher for Bare minerals makeup

the Ted Baker vanity case with toiletries in from Boots - I'm hoping it will be one of the offers of the week soon.

money for clothes / handbags

wendywitch

An off from work with long term sickness but no job to go back to, 36 year old, single mum of 2 teenage daughters (14 & nearly 17)

I'm trying hard not to think of something home or car related e.g the hall decorated, new carpets, car serviced and car electric window fixed and just something just for me.

All I'd really like is for the person I'm in love with to love me back

In reality -

New Kirstie Allsopp book (DD1 knows so she'll hopefully get it )
The Big Bang Theory Boxset
Black DM boots
Steam cleaner
Food mixer
Earthen ware mixing bowl
Money for the dog to go to the groomer

I would not like - perfume, bath/shower stuff, clothes (pj's are ok) or jewlery

26 yo working female, in a relationship

I've already had my main xmas present this year, (got a mulberry handbag for xmas/birthday/graduation), however if I were to be greedy my list would be as follows;

Big things
An ipad (might buy one as an xmas/graduation present to myself)
Kindle
The new Wii U


Smaller things
A nice patterned silk scarf
Some new undies
Anything soap and glory
Books
A nice scented candle
Vouchers for Boots/Next/Zara etc
A nice piece of jewellery

Things I'm not so keen on;
PJs (I'm happiest sleeping in a giant old t shirt)
DVD's - I have about 10 and I've never watched most of them
Perfume - I've got loads and need to use it before it all goes off

i usually buy my own gifts from the hubby and kids..have asked for a bottle of archers, some nice and warm socks, slippers if i need some new ones by then and chocolate. not into jewelry or toilertries, would love an ipad but as i have an iphone and a laptop and as a family we have a tablet i cant justify it. amazon vouchers to get kindle books would be welcome too.

im 30,SAHM with a hubby and 3kids

I'm 25, work full time and have to live far away from my boyfriend (of 7 years) and family due to my job so the best present would be to spend time with them and no arguments. Last 2 Christmas days have been quite stressful- 2 years ago I invited a friend I didn't know too well for the meal as she had nowhere else to go, which was with my wider family and she ended up being really weird and offending various family members who then made fun of me for bringing her and I ended up crying upstairs then last year I got in a fight with my mum and she blamed my boyfriend for it (long story) and he couldnt forgive her for it and I was really stressed about it... So nothing like that this year would be lovely!

In terms of tangible gifts I am a big kid and asked my boyfriend for a 3DS as every Christmas I usually get a professor Layton ds game but the new one is only for the 3ds! I will use it for other games as well though obviously. I love surprises too

female late 20's mummy to be, married.

Big things that I will never in a million years get:
Ipad
FURBY (YES REALLY!)

Little things:
Cadbury Elves
Pyjamas
Money to buy some new clothes
Paperchase A5 diary (page a day) with matching pen


Mostly though I just want my baby to be born safely having him here will be the best Christmas present ever.
