Ohhh my number one Christmas wishlist gift would be a KitchenAid mixer ... have always wanted one but struggling to justify the cost :-)

No farming disasters on Christmas Day so we can enjoy it with the Grand children.

Would love an amazon echo

Just to spend time with all the family and the grandchildren and for everyone to get on

A lovely fluffy dressing gown is on my Christmas list, but I'd also love some vouchers or tickets for days out, my favourite thing is to spend time with my family.

For the family to be together at Christmas,we all live across the world, Thailand, America, New Zealand and Australia. I so wish we could meet and all share Christmas day for once!!!

All my large family together at my house and me having restored health and enough energy to recreate the Christmas we all enjoy - a lovely dinner, fun and ĺaughter, a tree and thoughtful gifts to show everyone how much they are loved and appreciated. What else would you need other than a good book to read whilst you rest and recover on Boxing Day? smile

I would love a sideboard as have just moved into a new home so there's a lot of "junk" which doesnt have a home!

samben Thu 17-Nov-16 23:57:43

Theatre tickets - the cost prevents me going as often as I would like.

I'm a little more selfish and would really like an iPad

valbuk Fri 18-Nov-16 06:51:58

70th birthdays for husband and myself early next year so a special holiday in a very cold place is planned - winter gear is on both our Xmas lists

My list this year consists of good health and recovery for me as I am having an operation in December. I would also like to buy something wonderful for my hubby as he has been great all through my illness but money is tight as I am not working at the moment. Happiness and Good Health to everyone.

rosesarered Fri 18-Nov-16 08:49:13

An iPad for DH as he is always using mine, and more Winter boots for me (you can't have too many!)???

Dizlizo12 Fri 18-Nov-16 09:01:22

I wish I could have all my family together for Christmas( it's not going to happen, there's too many to get in one house)!!!

yourgrace123 Fri 18-Nov-16 09:35:15

Need a new bike

Greyduster Fri 18-Nov-16 10:12:44

A pair of Simms G4 waders and matching boots! In your dreams, Greyduster!! How about only the lightest of snowfalls this winter - here today and gone tommorrow.

Dianamax Fri 18-Nov-16 10:18:56

All I want is a nice long sleep...............

pambo99 Fri 18-Nov-16 10:36:12

I am awaiting a big operation in the new year so I would wish that the surgeon and all the hospital staff have a wonderful Christmas and come back to work refreshed and happy!

Venus Fri 18-Nov-16 10:41:31

Top of my Christmas wish list is that my husband, having had two bouts of cancer, and being told that it's likely to come back again, will live to see many more Christmas's.

boermeise70 Fri 18-Nov-16 10:58:01

I wish for good health for my children and grandchildren, they have all had a bad year ! And to complete my wishlist I would love a year's subscription to the Radio Times.
