I thank you, oh mistresses of the sensible answer to the stoopid question.

Give us a clue... do you have any hobbies or interests which need kit?

Nope. Three children, 2 of whom are 5 or less = no life hobbies.

Therein lies the problem.

I think a Teasmade

I'm the same... have MIL, my mum and my sisters asking..DH will start when he gets home from sea!

So far, I have thought of - diamond necklace (already purchased by moi ), perfume (will order a gift set over internet, I only wear one fragrance so easy) and theatre tickets/money towards theatre tickets.

Yes. See, what I really want is a weekend in a Hotel du Vin with free massage and facials and wine on tap with no children. Or a new kitchen. Or, god yes, a diamond would go down quite well.

And world peace [obviously].

But it ain't gonna happen. And in the circs, I do not want another bottle of cheap bath oil.

Well can you go for the weekend in a hotel? Is it out of the question?

I am in the same situation. DH has asked me until he is blue in the face what I would like for Christmas. Problem is that with one DS already and bub due early Jan - have done so much shopping, have no retail therapy requiremnt for myself left.

I want an iPhone. But apparently I may not get one as (1) we can't afford it (minor reason!!!) and (2) it is difficult to sort here in Budapest.

If I can't have the iPhone then I am happy with just some bits and pieces to open on the day - smellies etc.

Oh - a Jo Malone candle would be nice too!

oooh yes, I want an iphone too but I am unlikely to get one. Jo Malone. Good one. They do a coffret fragrance combining starter kit that I had forgotten I have been coveting. So thanks for reminding me!

I want Elemis Pro Collagen Marine cream too. Shiney had a thread that I saw earlier with fab deals on it on QVC - ended Sunday unfortunately but reminded me that I love it. May hunt out some other deals on that and hint in that direction.

I want a bike with a baby seat on it.

last year I was sad and I asked for a steam generator iron and a blender. DH was unimpressed, but bought me them anyway.

Dh has asked me exactly the same thing.

Told him I wanted mud and snow tyres on the car but he thinks I'm joking.

So far:
Touche eclat
Little Dorrit DVD
And wanted jewellery but it's sold out.
