What did your husband get you for Christmas?

A shopping trolley. We don’t have a car so we either go to the supermarket a five minute walk away or other shops which are about 10 minutes on the bus. I’ve got a dodgy shoulder and I’ve been saying for ages that I’m going to get myself a shopping trolley. I thought it was hilarious and will definitely be using it!

Our actual present is going away somewhere warm at the end of January, all inclusive for 5 days. No thinking about what to cook, washing up etc. which is a joy when we are normally running round after 5 kids.

An Alexa show, perfume, some nice shampoo and conditioner, Elemis skincare, Charlotte Tilberry make up, a book, chocolates, lush gift box.
loved everything

A tablet, perfumes I wanted, scarf, pjs I wanted, bath bits and a set of the candles I love. Part from him and part from kids who he took shopping and paid for their choices. Was lovely.

New paddle for my kayak. Very excited for the summer!

L'occitane candle
A set of bamboo top storage jars for the pantry
2 bars of nice chocolate
A pannettone
A jar of strawberry jam

A was a little unerwhelmed but he is a fantastic husband and father. He's always been a terrible gift giver

A Highland cow sponsorship....missed the mark a bit this year!

Best Gift I asked for: Bamboo steamer

Worst gift: Not getting the bamboo steamer I asked for. Everything I did have was great, all fine can’t complain.. but the one thing I asked for and was looking forward to making some soup dumplings 🥲

An atrocious mug from Morrisons which says "Tea" on. I drink coffee and collect /use Emma Bridgwater mugs...

A bit joyless, but we are similar. Nobody is left feeling sad or disappointed that way. We try & get each other a small surprise "token" gift just to feel some thought & effort was made...

We had a budget as my DH is retired, and we really have all we need or want.

A Tilly Sveaas bracelet to match my necklace
Two books
A pack of six walnut whips

Some nice undies, restaurant voucher to my favourite place and voucher for a great clothes shop - also got an IOU for a go- pro which I want - all a bit rushed but bless him as I had unanticipated surgery an hour away the week before Christmas and his sister was arriving with her DD from overseas so he had to do all the cleaning and bed changing in between visiting me and picking up the visitors - FIL, MIL and my DSis also were coming to us for Christmas and can no longer drive - he is the best DH ever!

We had our baby boy in October, so my partner got me a necklace with our sons initial, a pair of earrings and a wonderbly book for mine and our sons first Christmas with a personalised photo and message inside. I was very happy with that!

We agreed, we’d buy each other:

A Swiss army knife - we find them very useful, and we have both lost ours
A jigsaw
A fleece

We have had an extension and are having to buy the fluffy bits, like furniture, curtains, etc. Now is not the time to buy other stuff!

Not my husband but he bought me a massive parcel of Belgian beer and some very swanky chocolates. And best of all he brought himself over for a visit, i haven't seen him since October and it was SO good to see him again.

Some jeans that I knew about, perfume and chocolate that I didn't. I was happy!

that's so thoughtful!

Definitely yes, in our household. We’re massive Christmas fans and like to spoil each other, but neither of us really bother about birthdays.

He bought me a load of tshirts, and some books.

most people probably wouldn't be impressed by the things I got, but I'm happy with them.
I got
a really nice Jurassic Park Christmas Jumper.
the Allosaurus figure to add to my dinosaur collection
a Good Omens Canvas bag.

he usually gets more than that for me, but we're both consciously spending less this year, as things are a bit tight.
everything I got was thoughtful, and something I like. I'm obsessed with Good Omens and I've loved Dinosaurs all my life.

A very nice expedition tent that I've been wanging on about for ages. It's for both of us really, but I think he's secretly hoping that I'll move into the garden so he can have the heating on as high as he likes without me complaining about the heat.

deleted as I decided it was unecessarily mean

I was spoiled! I got a gorgeous locket, complete with photos of the DC and a lock each of their hair, two perfumes from Lush (my favourite), some gorgeous sapphire earrings, books, bath items, lots of nice tea and a tea set, and some nice cosy sweatshirts for lounging around in. And too many chocolates. 😂 Oh, and a pair of over the head earphones which are fab!

Clothes from my favourite shop. Very expensive scent. Armagnac. Lots of books, all good. Soap. Pearl earrings. Chocolates. I got him books, kitchen things. Stuff for his hobby. Whisky. Chocolate. Clothes. A really fancy ice scraper and a duck that is also a clothes brush.we might send a few links to things we like, but don’t always get them. No budget. Despite it being quite random, we had exactly the same (huge) amount of presents. We exchange things privately in the morning and keep back 1 small gift each for the family exchange of modest gifts after lunch. We are really selfeffacing people who generally put others first. But we love how we do gifts and it isn’t gonna change till one of us dies.

Dyson air wrap which is great for both me and teen DD and some slippers which to be honest I don't like, I don't think he'll mind though.

I said only practical gifts or things that can be used up / consumed. I got spatulas, books, a new calendar, a lovely jumper, cosmetics and chocolates. I was delighted. He also bought my daughter some lovely presents.
