    I'd love the new smaller iPad...if it is released before Christmas :)

    Also on the list would be a good DVD box set that hubby and I can get into. We haven't found a series we like for ages and we seldom watch TV.

    We all sound so easy to please! :)

    Would love a new kindle, got one already but love the look of the new ones and I would really make mega use out of the light on it. New watch. Nice perfume because that is one thing I never buy myself but love.
    Would also love a good food processor but do not know if that is the kind of thing one asks for as a present?

    Get over to the MSE comping board...The Sunday Times is giving away a kitchen Aid every hour. Worth a try :)

    I'd like world peace.

    Failing that I'd settle for a lie in, someone to bring me a cup of tea in bed, no cooking apart from an endless supply of buttery toast and tea, and perhaps a little TV watching.

    I'm 27, engaged and a shift worker. I would like a snuggly warm dressing gown, some nail polish, a chocolate orange (or 3!) and a paperchase diary.

    Oh and a slow cooker!

    Im late 20s, in relationship, own business. I'd love some bakeware and other baking type stuff! Recipe books/cake decorating doo-dahs, a rolling pin! Its something I really want to get into, but can never justify the price of equipment to myself :o

    Thank you! That would make for a fab christmas gift (to myself!).
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    Female, 30. I want Lego. :embarasse
    (I blame my parents for not buying me enough of it when I was little.)

    Would also like: a new Blackberry, lots of books, baking stuff, and Hunger Games on DVD.

    I'm a 61 year old retired teacher, mum to 2, grandma to 3.

    I need nothing, I am blessed really but, if I had to choose, here goes:

    this Tiffany ring: http://www.tiffany.co.uk/shopping/Item.aspx?fromGrid=1&sku=GRP04705&mcat=148204&cid=287466&search_params=s+5-p+6-c+287466-r+201323338-x+-n+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

    A set of Cath Kidston luggage

    Vouchers for a weekend at a 5star hotel

    voucher for an Indian Head massage

    Up to date Ipad

    Up to date Iphone

    A point and shoot digital camera

    John Lewis Vouchers (Harrods will be fine too)

    Absolutely NOTHING for the house, thank you, just for me.

    Do I sound selfish? I haven't a hope of getting any of the above (except maybe something for the house), so I am allowed to dream.

    I'd like a couple of books, some cake tins from Lakeland, a nice scrapbook to fill with cupcake/baking pictures and recipes from magazines and a couple of DVDs (My Fair Lady, Titanic).

    Also, without wanting to sound like a loser, it would be nice if other half popped the question but I'm not hung up on it. On the less realistic side of things I'd love someone to decorate my hallway and an iMac :D
