Can anyone beat this random selection of presents from their DH?

Last year he got me a steam mop and a pair of trainers Hmm.

Slightly mortified. Not sure how he expects me to pour myself into the body stocking (plus sizeBlush) and I've never owned a vibrator (aged 47, DH 50 and together 25 years)!

We have adult/teen DC still at home. God knows where I'm going to hide the damn thing. DD was scandalised when she found a pregnancy test I'd 'hidden' months before when she helped me move our bed to clean under itShock.

I suspect he's hoping that you will

Sexnotgender · 26/12/2018 18:43

That’s an interesting list Confused

Enjoy!

GummyGoddess · 26/12/2018 18:45

Some of those are presents to himself, but he was clearly thinking about you so deserves an A for effort even if he's missed the target!

Has he said why he got such a strange assortment? More importantly, do you like any of it?

Dinner set is a very stylish square edged one but with 4 place settings when there are 6 of usHmm.

Never have and won't be starting now Mornings! Ick!

I got him a dressing gown, a Jack Reacher book, and an Amazon Echo so he can ask it about the traffic before he leaves for work!

I should have got him a leopardskin man thong and a cock ring but it never crossed my mind toShock.

Ooh errrr that's quite a mixture of erm items!!!!! Definitely mid life crisis if he doesn't have form for this.

twinnywinny14 · 26/12/2018 18:56

Interesting variety!! Oh well, always try anything once could be good fun 😂 x

DryHeave · 26/12/2018 18:57

Bodystockings are actually mega flattering. Give it a whirl and see how you feel.

Apologies if I've mis read the meaning, but you find coming with your husband disgusting? And you've never?

You don't need to answer me, I just don't think you're husband wanting you to come is disgusting.

I'd be fuming about the dinner set 😂

TheVanguardSix · 26/12/2018 19:04

Sounds like the Ann Summers edition of Cluedo. Confused

Mrs. Peacock did it in the Billiard Room with a red crotchless body stocking.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 26/12/2018 19:06

So, did you open all of that in front of the whole family on Christmas morning? Grin

Ragwort · 26/12/2018 19:07

I think I would be horrified if my DH gave me a bodystocking & a vibrator, I would insist he returned them for a refund & I would choose something I wanted. If those are not the sort of ‘items’ (can’t think of a better word) that you normally use I would actually be shocked, but I am a complete prude. I don’t even know what a vibrator looks like, I would probably assume it was a kitchen gadget Grin.

Mrsmadevans · 26/12/2018 19:11

I don't think you can get a refund on a vibrator or the crotchless body ......
titter titter

Annandale · 26/12/2018 19:12

Vibrators are lovely. Try it out on him? I would certainly give the bodystocking a try. And the candle sounds ok.

Dinner service frankly weird! Is he hoping to drop two of your children?

thisisjustdaft · 26/12/2018 19:13

From various family members - a book about trains, a hand-held vacuum cleaner, the largest box of chocolates I've ever seen (and I've seen a few), a pair of the ubiqitous granny slippers, a wooden elephant, a chocolate orange, a bird table, a scented candle that smells like hippy peace trousers and a ticket to the Chelsea flower show.

Talk about random.

category12 · 26/12/2018 19:13

I think he's trying to tell you something about getting it on.

It's an improvement on the steam mop anyway.

PerkingFaintly · 26/12/2018 19:14

I so want to believe this is an Amazon Recommendations sequence of purchases.Grin

CatnissEverdene · 26/12/2018 19:15

GP for him, in the New Year.

He's clearly having trouble with his hormones.

Or he's been shopping in some very dodgy places!

MissWilmottsGhost · 26/12/2018 19:15

Heh. Send the kids out, light the candle, serve dinner up on the new service while wearing the red body stocking, thong and slippers, then try out the vibrator and shag on the table?

Might as well go the whole hog, it's Christmas Wink
