maybe one of those book nook dioramas? i saw a few light up ones on display in utility and they're really detailed, you should definitely be able to find some onlineAny ideas for a crafty mum who likes reading? Ideally a one “main” present as my dad has a Lego set and I don’t know, I want them both to have the same amount to openShe has a kindle and I bought her a velvetiser last year so I’m hitting a wall

Stop encouraging me!
Is anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?
This year I just don’t want anything. Maybe money but I know my family likes to give something to open on the day as well.
I really don’t wanna ask for stuff just for the sake of it so i just don’t know.
On the bright side, i am very close to finishing my present shopping. Just a few things to get and i know what they all are so it really takes the pressure of.
Which makes me feel more guilty because anyone buying for me can’t say the same thing because I’m being difficult

This but my mum is housebound and tends to shop on Amazon only. I know she means well but for the last few years she has got me the most hideous pj’s that I’ve then sold on Vinted. Just give me the £25 rather than £5 I got from selling them.Is anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?

She also gets shafted buying chocolate from them when she can get it cheaper with her Tesco order.
Same with perfume or jewellery. I just HATE Amazon!

would you like and would they consider vouchers for experiences? I would love somebody to buy me a facial or a back massageIs anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?

I’m like this so I always ask for things I use - shampoo, shower gel, skincare or things I can eat - snacks, fancy oils etcIs anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?

I feel like I’m getting mixed messages here
this might be the way to go. At least I’d get the use of out that kind of stuff.
Though maybe not the snacks. I’d only scoff them and at that time of year, I really don’t need the encouragement
I'm notoriously hard to buy for. Mr A doesn't bother now. I've said this before but I did him a picture collage on ideas! I just say vouchers if someone insists on buying me something. What annoys others as I bloody love buying gifts for people & really taking the time to consider what they want. But I'm a fussy cow!Is anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?

I'm simple AF, a book, PJS, a bath bomb or chocolate and I'm happy. Tbh I'm happy with anything (providing it's not tit in a sack, I might draw the line there...)
25%off pjs and slippers in all depts in Matalan.
What about any beauty items you would like? If I'm stuck for things to suggest to people I normally ask for books, cosy socks, Pj's, a nice box of chocolates etc.Is anyone else having an awful time with what to ask for from people?

It might not be because they think your fussy but I know my mum is happy with anything I buy her. She will be grateful and appreciative but I want to get her something she will really like or appreciate or use or need. I think for one of the first times I managed to buy her something useful last year even though she thought it was random at the time - an air purifier which helped her whilst she slept due to asthma and she uses it every night!This is me but everyone says I'm so hard to buy for!
Take a look at Myriad toys and crafts website - absolutely gorgeous things on there, natural, very Steineresque! My middle class hippy vegan sister in law buys everything from thereOK I need actual help.
I need a present for a 7 month old. ( Girl ). Parents are massive hippy vegan fitness fanatics so absolutely no plastic tat (unfortunately). Literally any suggestions will really help, otherwise it’s going to be a pink fluffy bunny toy which will be chewed to death and covered in dribble in 3 seconds flat.
Mine had one of those cushions each for Christmas last year (from Dunelm). I was a bit worried they'd just be cast aside, much like the million cushions they already have but they use them every day. They've kept the shape well too, even with the occasional overnight use as a pillow.
I'd also recommend them for adults too. I've got one on the sofa and one in bed now!
Yeah that might be the way to go. Maybe ask for some of my day to day toiletries.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me this year. Usually I have to stop myself from suggesting too many things I’d like
Beautiful. So cosy!Christmas has arrived
I’ve always wanted bay windows for this exact reason - perfect Christmas tree placement
I'm easing into the Christmas spirit so I watched While You Were Sleeping with Sandra Bullock last night, HOW have I not seen it! Such a cosy wintery film yet not too festive.
