What would you like for Christmas?

No more handbags please. I took six to a charity shop recently. (Only cheaper ones I bought for myself.)

Oh! Too many handbags? How is that possible?

I used to ask for a sharp scissors if anyone asked me. At last one year I got a pair! I still use them.

I will wrap up something for everyone who is here on Christmas day. So they all have a parcel to open. It may be a book or socks or whatever I find at the local Christmas markets.
I have already found a few things. When in doubt, chocolate or booze usually pleases.
There are a couple more birthdays before then. They are trickier.

An end to my arthritis.

I'd like to go off to a nice hotel in the sun somewhere and come home at the end of March. What a great Christmas present that would be.

I asked for a wooden bird table many years ago and my husband bought me one. Just this weekend he was breaking it up as it was beyond repair. Maybe I will get another one!

DH has a lovely, very old railway man's leather bag, but minus a strap. He cannot find anyone to repair it. He would dearly love to have it mended and give it to me for Christmas, andI would love it. He keeps searching. Bless him .

CanadianGran this is a bird table

A bird bath and an insect hotel were on my wish list for 4 or 5 years. Two of my children finally took the hint and bought them for me. The hotel is 5 years old and still used by insects every year, and a variety of birds come to drink or bathe in the bath.

Last year I asked for a beauty hamper I’d seen at M&S I only told one son, but received the same from them both suspect they’d been asking each other what to get 🤣

I'm curious about the bird table; what is it? I'm picturing a table for a birdcage to sit on, or a table decorated with birds?

When I was young, my mum used to say’ two good little girls’, meaning me and my sister, especially if we had been playing up!

If asked this year, I would like a spectacle chain, as I am always misplacing my glasses.

I would like a fancy bejewelled one, the sort Dane Edna would use.

We do lists, but it’s not uncommon for donors to go off-list. My present list is added to and subtracted from all year but I often end up buying most of it myself in January.
I struck lucky a few years ago when DH wandering aimlessly around town the day before Christmas Eve bumped into a friend brandishing an eye-catching Jo Malone bag. He hurried off and I’ve had Jo Malone scent under the tree ever since.

A couple of years ago my OH bought me 20 bags of mulch for the borders, which was on my short wish list! I was delighted. 😄

Thank you, an idea

I'm at an age where I need to start getting rid of things so I had to say to my husband and daughter, no more ornaments or jewellery please. To be honest I really don't need anything. However, my daughter in particular loves buying presents and gets more enjoyment out of watching people open theirs than the ones she receives, so I don't want to say don't buy me anything. Therefore, desperately trying to think of something as she's starting to nag. I have a birthday just before Christmas too which makes it even more difficult. Any ideas?

Some pretty stationary or notecards?

A weather station, I’ve dropped hints!
We do lists too MOnica 12 year old grandson seems to have expensive taste, Nike!

Dare I say it but momentarily a different family..?
They do annoy me occasionally and at different times but recently it seems they are all at odds with me and themselves together.
These dark ,dull days aren’t helping them or me.
However practically, I say when asked that I like luxury food that I wouldn’t buy for myself, fruit in brandy, very good chocolate biscuits.
Good quality coffee.
I do get it from my D.

I think peace in the world is a given isn't it?

For me, yet another handbag would be nice. I love handbags.

To each other, a nice holiday we can share. The best present.

Absolutely no thing, object. But yes Anno- our magnificent bird table bought before our move here- was smashed in a gale 2 years ago, and I just can't find one as big or nice as that one.

From my children just time spent together, nothing fancy at all.

I asked DH for a specific perfume last year. I didn’t get it, so I bought it for myself.
What did he get me instead? I’ve no idea!
