Ooh you have some lovely choices on your list ! I can't wait to see what you end up buyingAs for myself, I should really be on a major ban after all the damage I did this year and then the slew of recent "birthday" gifts I got myself. But I am sure I will break down soon bc there are a number of things I like and have considered buying lately:
- lavender Givenchy shark lock boots and matching mini lock antigona
- petite Fendi Peekaboo in green tea with flower handle
- small white Bvlgari serpenti bag with green eyes
--medium black Prada saffiano tote
I've been waiting all year since spring for the LV Atlantis GM in dune monogram to come out which i believe is due out Jan 1. I drove 1.5 hours the other day to look at the LV GO-14 in the black pink after seeing someone post it on tpf but didn't love it like i thought i was going to, i did however love the lagoon color and the pink (really liked the pink malletage in the small Alma too), and then just tonight at Harrods tiny little Givenchy counter I discovered my newest obsession.....the new Boyfriend Voyou in light pink. So yeah if money were no object, that would be my current wish list. Oh and something in ostrich but not sure what color. Have seen alot of it lately. Fun to dream!
ETA: Almost forgot, also waiting for the Dior zodiac stuff to come out. SA showed me a pic the other day and it looked cool. I like the Celine bags in green clay color too but don't need any more light green bags (except maybe the Peekaboo lol). And the mini Loewe flamenco but not sure what color I would want. I also want a BV teen jodie also unsure re color, the denim look leather is kind of cool. i thought I was going to buy the new YSL Bea bag after reading article about it and texting SA to send me pics but after seeing in person I didn't love like I thought I was going to.
Well, bought nearly the entire list and then some LOL I am actually too embarrassed to post but I will DM you some pics if you want. And to top things off, on the last day of our trip (after deciding to go to Paris for 1 day and changing airline tickets to fly home from there only to discover getting there from Amsterdam not as easy as I thought it would be), I dropped my phone and damaged it beyond repair so just got stuck buying another overpriced phone with no opportunity to trade-in mine (which was in perfect shape until 2 days ago). I think I have purchased just about everything I possibly could so I can start 2024 with a new goal in mind of trying to SAVE some money. Barring some travel, no more frivolous spending for me!Ooh you have some lovely choices on your list ! I can't wait to see what you end up buying
My kids range in age but we enjoy sitting and playing board games and puzzle books and Lego is always wanted lol.
Oh and phone costs are ridiculous , agreed
I wish there was a hug button, it must be so difficult seeing your mom this way.My Mum has dementia -I’ll buy my parents meaningful presents and go on the 28th, but it’s more about spending time, although thank goodness my Dad is fit and healthy.
I’m not close to my sister(sadly), although I do buy her gifts and for my brother in law and nephew, but it’s my gorgeous niece I really spoil with bags and jewellery-she treasures everything I give her(despite my sisters instructions to stop spoiling her).
For myself, I have quite a few major jewellery and bespoke clothing projects planned for 2024, and I’m going to Harrods sale(although really I’m more interested in the new cruise collections), so apart from an expensive fragrance I don’t think I’m buying myself anything this year ..
I have some close friends I always buy gifts for, but a very small family and very sadly my long term partner succumbed to dementia during lockdown , so I’m single(although happily so, with Siamese cats), one of my cats has incurable renal failure , so like last year, the year will end with me wondering whether it’s my last year with both my Mum and Tammy.
But it’s been a good year overall.
Good luck with the saving plan and enjoy your new goodies!
