    I'm hard to buy for because I generally get whatever I want/need myself but I'd like to get the Beastie Boys book which looks good and a nice reusable water bottle maybe one that's insulated, I like the look of the Klean Klanteen ones.

    I'm looking for a Klean Kanteen waterbottle too, as a gift.
    Anyone got any idea where I would find one, in a Dublin shop?

    I would love to get a few Xbox one games, not for me but my kids (My present is seeing their happy faces).

    My two sons just got a set of expensive Beats Head Phones for their birthdays.I just listened to some music on them and the quality and clarity is beyond my wildest dreams.They are also back round sound proof can't hear hear a thing outside the music playing. I dropped a couple of hints so hopefully I will see a set under the tree Christmas morning.

    Sry, wasn't trying to hijack the thread.
    Thanks for the suggestions :D.

    I think running is probably the key, but keeping it low tech.
    Much as I'd like to send her away to relax, I know it wouldn't work at the moment (youngest has some health issues at the moment, and she worries too much. Would only worry more if out of sight) .

    Could you get her a smart watch that does fitness tracking? I've a gear fit 2 and I have to say, I love it. It tracks my activity even when I'm pushing the buggy, which is great because I can't go out for walks during the day without my daughter, and at night I don't have time to get out.

    I would love some new pyjamas. The fluffier the better :D

    It’s just not Christmas without fluffy new pyjamas and socks :)

    Failing that, a new book would be most welcome.

    I was going to say, there is nothing I really need etc.

    But there is. But it is too big an ask...

    Don't laugh or gasp... NEED a car. Not a new posh car. Just a little car that will get me around .... My current car is a 00 and finally declaring banjaxed. It has been a wonderful car. Truly wonderful . And it will come over here as an "island car" and be my legs a while longer...But not fit for off island .

    No way can I replace it. I have increasingly limited mobility and live isolated. My car is as my legs

    I WILL cope if need be,,, but Santa , if you are listening.... ;)

    I never ask for anything usually....

    Thanks for the pointers :)

    I went with a FitBit Charge 2 in the end.
    It's not the latest and greatest, but we agreed a budget of €50, and it is the best I can get in that range (a wee bit over, but claim back from health insurance for a wearable helped).
    Seems to be a reliable lil device, and if she likes it and wants more features I can always upgrade for her in the future.

    When do you stuff the bird? Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.
    If you do it on the Eve that gives more time to sort the vegetables etc on Christmas Day
