We will be picking a winner at random on 14 December - more details on the page

Hubby and I rent our home, and i have been here for 21 years. Now our landlord is applying for planning permission to build an extension, and carve up the current flats, making them smaller and altering them, and bring all the new flats in through what is now our private front door and our hallway. We along with the other tenants will be given notice to quit if they succeed, and the planning decision could be posted tomorrow even. All I want this Christmas is to spend one last happy Christmas with my beloved husband in our beloved home, and for a little while shut out the changes we may have to deal with very soon.

A Crosley record player (my audiophile friend says she'll disown me if I buy one because the sound quality is apparently not great - but I am in love with the asethetic of them, especially the mint green and the velvet indigo.) For the second year running I'm obsessed with Swarovski's Stardust bracelets (something about the festive season brings out the magpie in me!), and I'd love a Pashley bicycle, which will definitely not be happening as our shed is currently packed full of junk. Maybe in 2017...

I would love some money this year because I am moving home soon and I need various items like a bed and sofa. I love reading so much too so some books or Amazon vouchers would be great too x

After many months of having a MASSIVE work on the house, I have only one Christmas wish. We, as a family, really need time to relax and enjoy our time together. Ice-skating, here we come smile!

For my family to have a wonderful time, we are scattered all over the globe and that we have a good time even though we will be apart.

I would love the start of a Pandora bracelet.

ikkle87 Wed 14-Dec-16 09:08:13

I really want my family to have a lovely day and hopefully enjoy the gifts I have got for them. Personally wise I'd love Blink 182 tickets but would never ask anybody to buy them for me x

My wishlist contains a food mixer, nutribullet, a sat nav and a dash cam :D Probably won't get any of them though.

GeorgeW Wed 14-Dec-16 11:43:58

A healthier year ahead for me and my family and hopefully a happy one too! Materialistically, a new perfume or posh candle would be nice!

mysticwen3 Wed 14-Dec-16 11:59:07

My Christmas wish is a happy and healthy Christmas with all the family together, and it seems this is the most popular wish of all.

reaper101 Wed 14-Dec-16 12:16:28

Well apart from peace, love and happiness to the world. Some Alien Perfume would be lovely smile

Suzydollf Wed 14-Dec-16 12:17:24

Chocolate, I have been on a diet for months and looking forward to sharing selection boxes with the kids!

queenie68 Wed 14-Dec-16 13:31:11

On my xmas list is a iPad for my hubby to be able to run his pigeon club and photo's easier and also i would love a cotton toweling dressing gown as they are so hard to find and the fleece ones make me sweat terribly

sfancy Wed 14-Dec-16 13:44:53

I hope that my family has good health and that my job gets renewed...

I would love it if my 3yr old grandson does not have to visit hospital this Christmas which would be a first. He has already given me a wonderful present by taking a few steps on his own.
