I really don't know what I want for Christmas this year. So can you all tell me what you would like to receive and give me some ideas? I don't wear jewellery but all ideas welcome.
Oh and what was your worst present ever? Mine was a small jar of instant coffee from DDs boyfriend at the time.

To know my daughter is ok. She’s having treatment at the moment following an abnormal smear. I hate that she has to attend hospital alone. She’s more concerned with me avoiding the risk of Covid. But I still see her as my baby and wish I could protect her.

Joannapiano,I would go without gifts in the hope your husbands results come back perfect

Worst gift was a pocket sized umberella from the x who wasn`t x then.

I've asked for A Promised Land by Barack Obama from my family in the US. Christmas reading sorted smile

My worst present - the “book of the month” which had previously been sent to my mother in law as part of her book club deal and which she then gave to me for Xmas announcing “I’ve only read it once “ (!)

A last Christmas with my 27 year old daughter daughter, she has cancer.

Joannapiano thinking about you, puts everything into perspective xxx

I’m too busy trying to second guess what my family would like for Christmas to spend time thinking about what I want, because they aren’t being very forthcoming at the mo! Some semblance of normality and to see everyone round my Christmas table would do for starters.

A flu jab! Can’t get one for love nor money!

My DH has a record of getting things slightly wrong. For instance the first Christmas I asked for a record by - **. He bought me a record- same piece of music- by a brass band!

I want everyone of course to stay healthy and Covid to clear off. I would also like comfy warm PJs, box of chocs and a bottle of Bailey's as that is how I plan to spend Boxing Day on my own.

Better Health and looking forward to when I can hug my GCs

Decent health for family and self, nothing else.
Best outcome for Joannapiano.

A COVID vaccine, washed down with a Jack Daniels and ginger, and Brie and biscuits. Sorted.

Liz46 Wed 25-Nov-20 12:14:11

I am not supposed to go into a shop but I have been craving Thornton’s milk chocolate champagne truffles for months. My daughter usually buys me some for Christmas but we have decided to not meet up this year. Roll on that vaccine.

I'm not really bothered about presents and tell my Dtr every year not to buy us anything but she always does. I would be quite happy with a plant for the garden or a rose bush but she doesn't think that's the right kind of present. I used to do the books for a Racing Pigeon Club and one year they bought me a football lol

...A real Brexit i.e. to be totally independent from the EU just as all the other countries they trade with are and to be pain free.

vampirequeen Wed 25-Nov-20 11:45:06

I want money because I'm saving for a Swytch wheel system.

lizzypopbottle Wed 25-Nov-20 11:44:57

I keep thinking of things I'd really like for Christmas but I can't for-the-life-of-me remember what they are now, so no help or ideas there, sazz1, sorry.

I also can't recall any awful presents I've received but my mother gave my husband a truly ugly jumper one year. It was chunky and a bilious shade of green with little flecks of pink, orange and blue. He was quite keen on clothes and took it personally. ?

I’m getting an Apple Pen and the book of the exhibition about the Arctic which I couldn’t go to see at the BM. I’d like a bread maker.

Gwenisgreat1 Wed 25-Nov-20 11:33:40

A dear friend bought be a beautiful coloured scarf, but if was made with wool and feathers - Yikes I am allergic to both. I had to suggest, as kindly as possible, that she give it to someone else.

Happysexagenarian Wed 25-Nov-20 11:32:09

joannapiano........ keeping my fingers crossed for good news for you on 17th. We're in a similar position. God bless flowers

lovebeigecardigans1955 Wed 25-Nov-20 11:27:51

Same as Chewbacca I've little interest in material things as I have all I need.

Kim19 Wed 25-Nov-20 11:22:34

I would like nothing tangible but offers of coffee/meals/outings would be lovely. Gives me something to look forward to and meet up with those I really care for.

Like most I would just like a covi d free 2021. So we can all see our families and be safe .
