I remember DMs presents over the years. Unfortunately she isn't here anymore.

Pink jumper a child's aged 10. I was 27.
Padded coat hangers (used)
Sports bag child's. I don't do sports.
Earrings clip ons my ears are pierced. They were big dangling ones.
One year I thought I'd cracked it by asking for pieces to the dinner set I was getting together.
Gave her the name and what was needed. Told her which shop. All I asked for was the teapot.
£19.50. No she didn't like that pattern so got me a green and yellow flowery one instead.
Others in the family got just as bad a present.
She did admit she wasn't very good at choosing presents.

An unflattering sweatshirt from my husband's (and FIL's) government workplace from MIL & FIL 😅
