  • Mum of two 40 married working

    I would love a mangle! Best invention ever
    Failing that a day with robbie Williams would do (I ask ever year but I never get him)
    :T
  • Married, 44 work full time, mum to 2 DS

    I want the family to all be together on Christmas day, and for us all to have a fun time.
    My DS1 joins the RAF in January, so it could be the last one we can spend together for a long time. :(
  • 52 yr old housewife what I would like as a present is something money can not buy just to drink coffee with my best friend, my best friend lives in USA
  • 28, single, self-employed

    Ok...I have a hard time asking for things for myself so no one actually knows what I want and even if they did I wouldn't get them because clearly they would think I was a spoiled cow. I think I was brought to believe it was bad to want things for yourself. But as a bit of fun, I want to write a "dream list" just to get the "I WANTIE"s out...

    Christmas Wish List;

    A Boyfriend
    A Snog (see above)
    A Dalmatian or a Kitten (frustrated inner child)
    World Peace (starting to feel a bit selfish now...)
    Expensive Jewellery...Gold...Diamonds..... (sod it, selfish smelfish!)
    A black and white Chanel Handbag (ha ha this feels SO good!)
    Christian Louboutin Shoes
    Coco Mademoiselle Perfume
    A crystal encrusted collar for my Dalmatian or Kitten (oh its now a pedigree kitten, by the way)
    A guitar
    Some expensive chocolate truffles (preferrably boozy)
    A festive trip to New York with said Boyfriend (skating in Central Park followed by a carriage ride if I wasn't so damn bothered about the poor horses and animal rights, the Rockettes at Radio City, Annie on Broadway, Hot Chocolate whilst viewing the Christmas Tree at the Rockerfeller, he proposes to me at the top of the Empire State Building with a Tiffany ring...)

    And that's pretty much it...

    I'll probably get practical things and some smellies and jewellery from Avon.

    Gifts I would appreciate:
    Some comfy and smart work shoes, doesn't need to be expensive or designer, just durable ( my current ones are falling to bits, and I like useful gifts)
    Food, just a big load of food, preferably meats that I can add to the freezer, and lots of cooking sauces.

    23 (for a few more days) year old, in a relationship

    I actually really like getting shower gel, shampoo and that sort of thing. I used to hate getting all that stuff, but I'm still in student-mode and only buy myself really cheap nasty stuff, so I love getting nice stuff for Christmas! Can't go wrong with a nice Christmas jumper either...
