According to NZ statistics 17.3% can expect socks or underwear this year.

I don't have any underwear on my wish list, but I am hoping for some jewelry from this place and some alcoholic beverages

How about you?

How tempting it is to edit the bit in bold....

We could do with some rain around here. That would make lots of folks happy.

Something to add to my model railway would be nice.

Insulation!

My other half is really not an excellent gift buyer so I try not to get my hopes up about anything. That sounds very ungrateful but seriously he's just terrible. It's become a running joke. I imagine I'll get something along the lines of a pot plant. If I'm lucky.

The first Christmas we were together I bought him a stunt driving experience. Fun! I can't tell you what he bought me but it was.....ummmmm......an odd choice to say the least

You've got Homer Simpson in my head now from that. Does your partner buy you christmas presents that he expects to use? The tenpin bowling ball that Homer bought Marge - very funny episode

Haha, I bloody hope not if we're talking about my last xmas present!

I do feel like this year it will be presents that are for the house rather than me!

New iron/shelf in the bathroom something along those lines.

That's a bit sad, Miss Nic.

I think I can say with confidence that Mr bakedbean will not be buying me Pierce Brosnan. There ya go.... life is full of disappointments.

My ex used to say "you don't believe in Christmas (dif religion) so you aren't getting anything, but here's a list of what I want".

Just teasing myself and looking at some of the 'bloomin goooorgeous' festive foods in ASDA, I wish they would deliver to NZ.

I dare not look at what M&S or Waitrose have to offer but if Santa felt so inclined I wouldn't mind a food parcel.
