I got 2 perfumes I’d been after but wouldn’t have spent that much myself but my favourite present was off DS2 (18) girlfriend. She got me a fictional cold case file to solve. It comes with cctv stills, crime scene photos, witness statements etc. You have to be detective and work out who the murderer is! I think it’s one of the best things I’ve ever been bought!

A coat from my mother. A very glamorous going out coat that I would never buy for myself. It has a big soft fur collar and cuffs.I always buy more practical but I absolutely love it and have worn it everywhere

My Shark Cryoglow LED face mask. I’ve wanted one forever and have been diligently using it every day since I opened it on Christmas Day. I love it!

My DCs clubbed together and bought me tickets to see the B52’s - I cried 😂

The cold case file sounds great - I remember doing something similar at school in the 80’s.
