What would you choose? this present may be bought for you by anyone, DH SO partner, friend, DD etc.They will never know, so feel free to be honest, but keep it within their real spending power( even though you may want a diamond necklace or a rolls.)DH alawys wants to buy me a surprise present for instance, so I never say what I really want.
This year I would like...... A dozen red half opened roses with ferny foliage
( not called roses for nothing!)

I would love a face lift, but far too expensive for anyone to buy for me, so just go on dreaming ......

Time with my family. I'd love to go on holiday as a big group next year (wishful thinking..!)

I want a brand new motorcycle. The yellow one smile

I'd love a bunch of those great big spherical chrysanthemums. White ones, please.

A villa in Florida would be nice :-). Failing that, I'd be happy with a book voucher. I need about £100 to buy all the books that are on my list.

I really cannot think of anything that I want. I've never been much of a girlie girl so diamonds, lovely as they are, do nothing for me. Ditto fancy clothes. I love photography, but already have a very good camera with several lenses, filters and so on, plus a high spec compact camera.
Possibly the most wonderful present for me would be someone to come in once a week and clean the house, so I can be guilt free while I'm enjoying all my handicrafts wink. Oh, now there's a thought - a gift voucher from a craft shop, that would be nice!

I'd be happy with pierce brosnan waiting under the tree. How's that for a secret present?! grin

Just musing here.... But, for the more reasonable gifts wanted on here, perhaps we should come out and say to our nearest and dearest, that this is what we really want?

A fair isle style 100% cashmere sweater from pure collection.com please. (Should DH happen to spot this).

P.S. It's the grey one. smile

Ooops I meant to choose a present. I'd like a diamond ring.

nannycake Mon 23-Nov-15 19:49:18

A husband or partner who I could share the good things in life with.

I used to think a new bike would be nice. But then I tried DD's modern bike, and I fell off. I will stick to my 40-odd year old Raleigh.

An afternoon tea voucher in a posh London hotel & then a fitbit

Maranta Mon 23-Nov-15 18:05:55

A new car, preferably small and powerful and a replacement garage to put it in. My present one is falling to bits - garage that is.

A grey 100% cotton towelling bathrobe, size s/m, available to order from Dunelm!

ninathenana Mon 23-Nov-15 17:48:17

hilda your making my mouth water.
an art deco broach to wear on my new black coat. I don't mind if it's repro, I'm kind like that grin

ginny Mon 23-Nov-15 17:42:14

I would love to have the lost diamond replaced in my engagement ring.

hildajenniJ Mon 23-Nov-15 16:02:19

Some real Turkish Delight, bought from a little shop down a side street in Istanbul. A selection of flavours, but especially hazelnut. I bought some there while on holiday and no other Turkish Delight comes anywhere close for flavour and texture.
It's delicious.

A Fitbit to help achieve the svelte, new and improved me for 2016!

grannylyn65 Mon 23-Nov-15 15:37:35

B & Q or Dobbies voucher please!

rosesarered Mon 23-Nov-15 15:05:46

Hmmmn, some of you are more easily pleased than others! grin The lottery indeed, impossible to wrap it up.

JamJar1 Mon 23-Nov-15 13:41:34

One of those lovely old sewing boxes sometimes seen on the Antiques Roadshow, with all the contents and perhaps a hidden love letter or two tucked away inside some half finished embroidery.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 23-Nov-15 13:07:01

I can't think of a single thing I want. Feel sorry for my kids really, having to think of something. hmm

Blondehedgehog Mon 23-Nov-15 13:03:38

I would like to win the lottery......hmm

Greyduster Mon 23-Nov-15 12:33:24

A Cortland 444 floating fly line, and a very large bag of Twiglets!
