"So... Brainstorming. What do you like to receive for Christmas? Stuff you really enjoy having or using? Things you recommend, maybe can't quite justify buying normally? "
Stuff I want, and maybe a few surprises I wouldn't have thought off from the people that know me. |

I like to be surprised. But, I have a small family. My parents always ask what I want, and I never know, and when I do think of something they go and buy it.
My dad is 81, and I've got to the point that for birthdays, Christmas and Father's Day I now buy him something that I want to inherit back in a few years' time  |

"Cookbooks, anusol, socks, vodka, hats, chewing tobacco, mice"
If you want dead mice, I have plenty. I have two murdering kittens that deliver multiple bodies daily |

For me I like practical things, stuff I'd use.
A food hamper, hair products, clothes.
As much as I adore things I wouldn't purchase for myself, I appreciate things I need that way it gives me a little breathing space with wages so I'm not stressing so much about having a day off sick if I'm unwell.

My recommendations are Lush lip scrub (the seasonal Sugar Plum Fairy flavour is excellent and provided you don't just eat it, it lasts a long time), Soap and Glory body scrub (personally I like the Call of Fruity one), Hand Food or Heel Genius. |

I dont like getting presents. If I want something I buy it when I want it. If I dont want it, it is just clutter that screws with my head. Stick to beer and vodka, even then buy what I buy dont go getting one I won't like...
Yours sincerely
Grumpy old git. |

I don't do flash or fancy and prefer something more personal rather than materialistic.
Something like a knitted hat or scarf actually made by the person giving it to me.
Best card I have ever received was hand made and tailored to me.
It means far more to me than any shop bought stuff.
If in doubt, buy me a CD. Thanks in advance!....... |

"I'm incredibly easy to buy for because I love so many things
Me too. I'm hoping for a "stuff that's good" list that might inspire others, lol. "
Lol ok here goes
Good quality toiletries- talking lush goodies, elemis. Luxury bath soaks, independent stores toiletries, handmade soaps etc
Room fragrance - again something that has a touch of luxury
Something homemade and thoughtful such as a Christmas cake, chutneys or homemade bath salts etc
Jewellery - doesn't have to be expensive can be costume but something that is me
Nicknacks for the home. Anything to do with giraffes often works for me
Cosy things for the winter. Good quality gloves and scarfs etc
Cute gifts. Something that reminds you of me
Shoes and handbags...well it's just is life itself
Cath kidston or Emma Bridgewater crockery
Omg you encouraged me

"No biscuits please. I hate bicuits and getting tins and boxes of them make me feel old. Rose wine always welcome along with socks. Everyone needs socks."

There and to the left a bit |
Can very rarely think of things I'd like and things I need I've usually bought for myself anyway.
I actually quite like when people buy me things they think I'd like without me having asked for them.
My Mum is pretty good at finding things I never knew I'd want - and usually don't even once I open them - two examples being a suit carrier which caused a frown when I opened it, but got widely used when I travelled a fair amount with work and a bottle opener in the shape of a door key that has been invaluable down the years. |

I have got most of mine now. I tend to buy things like.
Stuff from the body shop/lush.
Nice lights for gardens.
Alchohol.
Scented candles.
Fancyfood things. (Especially for vegan friends)
I struggle with teenagers the most. Because they're all about the tech. So they tend to get money/sweet treats or iTunes vouchers.

Love this reply! Food hamper would have to come in a wicker basket - picnic type. I do like a basket. |

I'm doing handmade hampers! All ready got a stash of handknitted socks. In the colours everyone likes. Home made jams. Will be doing handmade bathbombs and chutneys. Along with papercrafting the gift tags, cards and wrapping. |

I sometimes think it’d be easier to say what I don’t want! If my brother in law happens to read this then I really don’t want any CD’s! I’ve been streaming music for years and don’t have a CD player in the house anymore. Thanks.
I’d like a groupon or living social gift voucher for a decent restaurant or maybe a gin tasting experience.
Socks and Kiehl’s toiletries are a winner and tickets to any test match next summer would be perfect.
Finally I’d like Emma Watson in lingerie in my bed on Christmas morning with a naughty glint in her eye.
