AIBU to hate my Christmas present from DH

[lilypoppet]

I've realized DH has bought me a gift set of chutneys this year and I hate it. Especially as I helped him choose a lovely gift for his mother which cost three times as much and which I would have loved. I can't even take it back because it's gift food. Is that all I'm worth to him a tenners worth of chutneys? AIBU?

Can you send me the chutney then?
I'd love chutney for xmas. But loathe the candles and toiletries that I get given each year (not by DH).

Maybe he has been reading this thread and realised his present is crap! I think even with a budget of a tenner you can get some good stuff! I have seen some good makeup sets etc this year for that. What I find worse about this is he doesn’t seem to know what you like or don’t like! My fiancé spends more on me than his mum! I get the same as his daughter! Though I would be happy with a tenner present if it was well though out!

By the way, it is too heavy to be crackers.

Well played justmuddling...well played

Omg you have to update us on what it is

My dh is being weird. I asked for a new night dress. Normaly i hate it when he buys them because i have loads but could do with a new one. Hes making me one ffs. I don't have the heart to say please don't bother. He bought a small sewing machine ok for taking up trousers or something but hes being odd. He has never made any clothes why would i want a home made night dress

Could it be crackers in at tin?

The cats are crazy....what the hell???

How big? What shape? Come on OP, don't muck about.

thecats - what do you mean he's making you a nightdress? What fabric? This thread is an eye-opener.

Ha ha. A homemade nightdress. That is class. We will need a picture on Christmas Day. That is truly hilarious.

Yes thecats. Could you start a thread about this please, building up to the big reveal on Christmas Day?

thecatsarecrazy I'm sorry but I can't stop laughing at your post

Please, please, please post a picture when you open it on Christmas Day.

I don't think it's the cats who are crazy...

Can't wait to come back to this one on Christmas Day

thecatsarecrazy He's making a nightdress????? Did he watch that programme, the Sewing Bee? Please post a pic on Christmas Day?

Oh please please show us the results of the nightdress!

If it works out well then it's actually a really sweet present.

Home made nightie! Wonderful

My gift to him from me arrived today. It's a North Face hat made of really soft wool. I think he'll like it :)

Good! I really need to see the homemade nightie now...

Oh god I’m watching for the night dress!

Any chutney and nightdress?

Any chutney or nightdress updates that was meant to say.

I want to see this nightie!
