My dad has got me a book which I have here but will take it down on saturday so he can give it to me

^This doesn't make sense! Or is it just me? Confused

A selection box of hotel chocolat chocolates. Very nice apart from the salted caramel crap that everyone insists on using in bloody everything. The chocolate tea is nice; I might buy a pack of it.

Dh got a game for his ps4.

Bouledeneige · 26/12/2019 17:45

My best presents were from my DC - a cocktail shaker and a necklace. I have no partner. The rest of my presents? Quite random - a lot of chocolates (I have a condition that means I have to restrict my fat in-take), a large flagon of olive oil, a joke book about millennials and an item of jewellery that's not very me.

Never mind. I really enjoyed the day and will probably go and get myself some jewellery in the sales.

ALongHardWinter · 26/12/2019 18:42

My lovely daughter and granddaughter gave me a new phone,and a new tablet! Both much needed and appreciated. They also got me several novels,bed linen,slippers and assorted skin/shower products. So I am well happy. Smile

Wow some of you guys get A LOT! We need to up our game...

DP finished a job my late mum was half way through and traced my family tree back to the 1700’s. He then got a calligrapher to write it up beautifully. I’m so touched, I wish she could see it.

Then a necklace, scarf and book also from him.
A scarf, chocolate and candle from DC.
My sister gave me a nice vegan cook book too!

They’re all really thoughtful gifts so feel very cared for Xmas Smile

npowerarebastards · 26/12/2019 19:50

My mum and dad bought me a dyson hairdryer- I was so shocked as I'd just mentioned fit very briefly in passing to my mum but said I could never justify the expense, I've had a tough year though and wonder if they think o deserved a treat! Anyway very grateful.

DP and I decided to buy stocking presents only but I got the new Margaret Atwood book and some lovely clarins stuff which I was pleased about. And cashmere socks!

MrsT1405 · 26/12/2019 20:18

I'm so jealous. Dh and I don't do pressies and neither of my adult DC bother. I got a nice canvas bag from my sil.

Episcomama · 26/12/2019 20:24

A book and some No. 7 serum. That's it. Neither my husband nor any of my children felt it necessary to get me anything.

RidgedPerfection · 26/12/2019 20:25

Pogmella the family tree gift is so thoughtful.

I got some boots that I had asked for, an Urban Decay eyeshadow palette and a shark conservation calendar.
