Christmas Present ideas - what do YOU actually want?

SugarSpun

30 something working-at-home married mum of one.

I would like a day to myself that I didn't spend on household tasks or other people, maybe a spa day or booked in for a posh lunch somewhere.

And a couple of books and a peaceful life. Oh, and another little one. I'd love one of those.

Mythical

29, female, unemployed (graphic designer) Living with parents, also keen cyclist and horse owner

Something I can mess with - craft kits, sketchbook, pencils, puzzles, games etc.

Something I can (or don't have to) do - experience days, flight tickets, spa day, lunch out, riding lesson, competition entry(bike or horse), an offer to look after the horse for the day, an offer to wash my bike, etc.

Something I need to replace - bike stuff (anything from a bottle of chain lube or new brake pads to a new front light) something I broke or lost during the year, money.

Fancy stuff for the horse - she has everything she needs, I wouldn't mind some posh stuff - boots, a fishtail saddle cloth, show gear, etc etc.

I wish people wouldn't get me: Anything I need to find a home for, decorative items (unless they're to decorate me or the horse), stuff for my "bottom drawer" stuff for my car, and I really really really wish people wouldn't buy me sweets and chocolates - It's a massive cop out and you're making me fat - just keep the money in your wallet and wish me happy christmas.

We're lucky in our family - we do lists!! Lol Rather than spend money one things we HOPE people like, we use lists as guides. Doesn't stop the odd surprise coming in too (I normally like to get everyone one surprise pressie along with things they actually want).

So I've asked for things I know people will be happy to give - books, Dvds, a stick blender (theme here?!), board game or two.....

What I'd REALLY like though is a Sugar Craft / cake Decorating course (and the time to go!), but not sure anyone would pay for the course. And logistically it would be difficult (with working full time, a DD aged nearly 3, and doing Avon too...)

What I'd lust over is an iPad, Kindle, Wii Fit, new Laptop, TIME TO USE ALL THESE! lol

My dream present would be money for a house deposit so we could finally move!!

Don't buy me smellies!! They get put in a box and....ahem...re-gifted!

I'm a 24 year old female. I live with my boyfriend and work in an office.

The only things I really want are a pair of creepers and a dress I've had my eye on.

I like to think I'm quite easy to buy for- I always appreciate toiletries, chocolate, cosmetics, underwear and jewellery- all are things I don't usually buy for myself.

I like to dream about having my own house someday so anything for the home is always appreciated too- it makes my rented flat look a bit more like 'mine'!

I'm 27, female, engaged - home owner, no kids and work mainly office based.

I would love a breadmaker, or an experience - spa, sky diving, cooking course. Or a helmet and motorcross top/bottoms so I don't have to hire them when riding my speedway bike!
Or if Santa won the lotto, a holiday would be lovely please. Somewhere sunny with a beach and some culture. Mexico, Cuba or Goa would be perfect please!
