What item of clothing has my mother bought me?!

NC - lighthearted. Disclaimer: I am grateful she has sent a present.

Normally I don't get a present from mother on my birthday but alas one has arrived (we live in different countries)

On the customs label it says 'Clothing'

In the past I have been given some rather hideous clothing from her including a massive purple fleece (it's not cold here), glitter tops (not my style) and endless sweaters with tartan (we are Scottish but there is such a thing as too much tartan).

I'm a jeans and a plain t-shirt kinda woman who is turning 35......Opening the present in about 10 hours.....

What's in the package?!

Those are good presents! I love the little alpaca bag. She did well.

She did do well Smile was hoping for a little crazy to join the others in the back of the wardrobe......maybe she has finally learned not to buy me clothes.

Have to get my own wolf fleece Wink

Aw bless her. I love it when mothers get totally useless presents but you can tell they've agonised over them. Socks - you can't go wrong with socks! My mother has resorted to sending me money now because I'm apparently 'so difficult to buy for'.

Happy birthday!

WhatchaMaCalllit · 16/01/2019 18:44

'Friends' socks? Where was she shopping, 1995?

Diefenbakersdayoff · 16/01/2019 20:13

@Fredathetortoise it's for all the youngsters that have just started watching friends on Netflix and being all offended by it!

Not a bad haul, op. My dcs are obsessed with Friends. Primark do lots of stuff luckily 👍.

AlanThePig · 16/01/2019 22:51

That's not just an alpaca purse! It's a cath kidston alpaca purse! (Rather love that print)

EnidButton · 17/01/2019 00:26

Friends is really in atm Fred get with it! Grin It's on Netflix and the young 'uns are really into it again. Think I spotted Friends pjs in TopShop.

I love the Alpaca bag

I don't think my Mum will ever but me any socks as a few years ago she gave me enough socks to last a lifetime, there were about 20 pairs of long socks. Many went in the charity bag.

She still asks if I want more though

ILoveChristmasLights · 17/01/2019 10:50

Ah. Disappointingly unbatshit 🤣😂

Still. LEGO AND SNOOPY. Total win as far as I’m concerned!!

BusterGonad · 17/01/2019 11:20

I love the purse thingy, I love mini purses and make up bags. In fact I like the whole lot! If it was my mum she'd have chucked some Max Factor make up in there too (I love make up).

ChristineBaskets · 21/01/2019 14:51

I want those Snoopy socks! And I love a bit of munch of an evening Wink Do you know where they're from?
