Mine got me “what I asked for and more than the budget”… We don’t have a set budget that I’m aware of 😂 but if we did it would be more than that.

The good, the bad, the ugly. How did you do? I’d love to hear stories of spoilt mums 🙏🏻

A smart and glam navy leather laptop and document bag for my new job with two lovely charms representing my logos

Some cat shaped gold paperclips for fun

Some replenishments of spenny retinol creams I've found useful this year

And he bought and cooked Xmas dinner for the first time in 10 years after asking year after year I gave him the reigns and he did damn good 👍

The last line here is the real winner ! 👏🏻

Mine got me a lovely Lucy and Yak fleece, a couple of books I wanted and some cosy fluffy socks. Very happy!

I suggested the names of 2 books I fancied.
He got those.
Luckily he's a good chap, because he's a terrible present buyer.

Mine got me the tkmaxx voucher I wanted and we set a budget. He then went to buy me lots of lovely German Christmas treats at Aldi which was a lovely surprise. He also got me some novelty socks, photo albums and a bottle of Chablis.

He got me a watch and bangle, really lovely.
Some make up and hair bits, a book and a little crochet toy representing an inside joke we share.
Delighted.
