seems like we have one of these threads every year... but it's that time of year again where my parents ask me what i want for xmas and i have to say that i have no idea... i have a few things i'd like but nothing major...

does anyone have any ideas? what are you all getting/wanting for xmas? any ideas of what i could ask for... my parents say that they can just give me the money but i see it like tihs: i never really spend any money and xmas is the one time of year where you have an excuse to get something you don't REALLY need but that you want...

so any ideas?

I don't know what I want either, so I've asked that the family get a HMV gift card (or something similar) and put the money on it for me, so I can use it as and when I want something.

They hate me saying to just give me the money, but IMHO it's better to have that than have them spend the same money on stuff I didn't *really* want, cos then I might have to lie about liking it, and I don't want to lie to them. :\

My ma n pa are paying for my Robbie Williams ticket, so mine will last till september next year Big Grin

A good one you can do is if you get a particular magazine each month, like cosmo ask someone to pay for the subscription for you and you will get a magazine once a month or whatever and that way you present lasts all year round Smile

I don't want anything. They haven't asked me. Cos they know what i'm gonna say.

There is one thing, but it's just permission to go to a concert. Razz I'd pay for the ticket myself.

My mum thinks i'm a freak anyway..i never want things and i just refuse money from them.

I'm stuck on what to get my family, any ideas?

I got my dad an Arsenal shirt. And for my brother's birthday, which is in 2 weeks, i'm taking him to see Foo Fighters, so i'll need something nice to follow up from that.

Spreading the Carby Love

I spend 23 hours a day wondering whether we’re wrong for each other, wondering whether the baggage we both bring would be enough to sink a small ship...But in the 24th hour, I realise I’ve been thinking about her for 23 hours and it always comes back to, there's something about her that I can’t stay away from. Something about her, that makes me wanna…love her.

Aw. Frown Well, maybe in a next life [if there is one] i'll take you, but Foo Fighters won't be there so we'll go see the next best thing. Razz

The next best thing...
Isn't that a really bad film with Madonna in it (well, one of many...) 'Cause if it's the one i'm thinking of don't do it. It's not cricket.

Ask for shoes! Shoes are for life. Just like diamonds, but shoes are cheaper. Most of the time. Ask for diamonds if you can get them. If not go for shoes (but dont be a-buying the cute 4 and a quarter inch brown mary janes from schuh that I want).

I'm just getting CDs/DVDs really. I might be getting some money towards a laptop, but I have no 'main' present this year.

we have just been discussing xmas presents... actually there are two things i realy want. my mum is a realy good painter and she has painted some fantastic things, so for xmas i have asked her to paint me a landscape picture of the derbyshire countryside. because that has some very happy memories attached to it.
and my dad has been writing songs his whole life and sings really well and is an incredible guitar player. so i have asked him to write me a song. any kind of song (doesn't have to be about me) but i woudl really love that! i like those kinds of presents...

Aww that's such a nice idea! I'm always trying to think of original ideas for presents but fail miserably!

You'd understand if you saw my future favourite shoes. They're like heaven in a little box. Go to schuh, then look under brands, its a brand called Harlot, and they're the Mary Janes. Im getting them in brown. Shoe love is true love after all.

It won't let me edit. Stupid thing. LS, I love that idea of gifts, its very heartfelt. Im way too materialistic, especially in December. I think my poverty has something to do with it. It would be so nice to get either of those as a present though, something personal and unique.

the day gaz takes an interest in shoes will be the day i take an interest in football! it's just never gonna happen. i think your shoes sound beautiful though! i got new shoes they are black and sparkly and have a bow on, they are incredibly painful, but so pretty! and perfect for christmas parties so they are functional too!

A girl can never have enough shoes! Shoes are even better when they are in the sale! I'm in boot mode at the moment and my most recent purchase was a pair of green 3/4 length suede faith boots and a bar-i-ar-gain at £40 Big Grin
My fave boots are my Faith...(can you see a trend going here?)...brown cowboy style boots, hurt like hell after a while but I refuse to give in! Blisters will not stop me wearing my fave boots. Roll Eyes I have three pair of the same style shoes, yet again from faith all in different colours, black, silver and gold.
Shoe addiction?...Me?...Never! Roll Eyes

I have enough shoes! And i only own one pair of shoes..which i NEVER wear..only when i'm being threatened with suspension from school. And i own 2 pairs of trainers. That's enough!

And £40!? That is not a shoe bargain!

Now..did you buy these shoes because:

a) You needed some shoes and you just happened to come across a sale.

OR

b) You just came across a sale, and then bought the shoes..because it was a 'bargain' in a 'lovely' shoe sale.

I was out shopping for a pair of boots, I had nothing particular in mind other than I was looking for a pair of boots. I came across these and I tried them on liked them and purchased them.

£40 is a bargain for a pair of boots especially when I was prepared to pay the original price of £80. They weren't marked down on the label but the reduced price came up automatically when scanned. I was chuffed to nuts I can tell you.

the only problem I have is that cos I spend money on boots and shoes alot, I can't really afford to go out and show them off Roll Eyes

Well, next time, resist the urge of buying a new pair, you'll save a ridiculous amount of money, then you can go out about 10 times and show them off! Razz
