To be really nosy and ask what your favourite thing you got for christmas is?

[RedPandaMama]

Love chatting about presents. I'm nosy. also can't sleep.

We set a low cap on our presents for each other as saving for a house but DP got me the loveliest, most thoughtful gifts. The main one being that he's adopted me some red pandas and we get to go and visit them whenever we like next year!
As you can see by username I bloody love red pandas. Also have ginger hair so he used to call me red panda when we first met.

Other favourite things were for my daughter - a gorgeous homemade gift from SIL and looovely fluffy joggers from baby Gap from DPs parents.

Presents aren't everything but they really are nice!

Really hope others had a lovely day and got something nice that made them smile.

Dh gave me a beautiful framed photo of my lovely dad who passed away last month ❤️

Wow, NC that's really amazing!

She’s an a very special person, a very special family in fact!

I haven’t told anyone in real life because I honestly think people will think I’m showing off. And I’m very very conscious that lots of people really struggle financially.

But DH got me a pre owned Rolex Datejust watch. It’s absolutely beautiful. we’ve been together 10 years in January and he wanted to give me something extra special

I cried. because we’ve been so poor in the past...in fact 8 years ago we were days off being homeless. but finally in the last 2 or 3 years things have come together for us. I never imagined we’d ever be reasonably financially comfortable and it blows my mind.

Disney Artisocats throw from my Dsis
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child book from Dbro
Amazon vouchers from dparents
Colour changing light with ocean sounds from best friend

My top 4, although I love all my gifts this year

All of mine were lovely.

DH & DC bought me £100 if Waterstones vouchers which they know is a dream for me. The last time this happened I spent 4.5 hours in my favourite branch.

I also got 3 fabulous books which are very niche but so wanted.

Thanks cake, I'm so excited to start and it feels like ages away but I'm sure it will come around so fast.
Nc that is so sweet, it nearly made me cry

I had an Audi A4 and a new kitchen....DP got a son

A lovely lovely white company dressing gown. Floor length and amazing

I didn't need anything so DM put the money for me towards her gift of a ski course for my 2 children. Had the first day today and it was wonderful.

I finally got an eternity ring, after thirty eight years of marriage.
It was worth the wait, very pretty slim band with diamonds goes perfectly with my engagement & wedding ring, Dh is usually a bit hopeless with gifts, so was very surprised, dd & Ds also got me some lovely gifts, have been very spoiled.

I had a lumie alarm clock as I recently went full time and getting up every morning is killing me. I’m actually looking forward to going back to work to see if it helps.

DP and I do stockings for each other rather than buying a main present. Every single thing in mine was really thoughtful and perfect. However, particular highlights include:

The new Laura Ingalls Wilder biography
Owl mittens
Sloth socks
A book of revolting medieval remedies
A massive box of Ferraro Rocher (have adored these since I was a child, when I thought they were the height of sophistication. They are now a Christmas essential )

DP and I have spent £££ (as well as a huge amount of emotional energy) on fertility treatment over the past 2 years, so our real present is the fact that DP is 25 weeks pregnant and our long-awaited first child (a DS!) is due in April.

I'm ill at the moment - I have cancer (had surgery in November, and start radiotherapy in January), and am currently on antibiotics for a stomach abscess and also have a throat/chest virus. However, I've had an amazing, quiet, cosy Christmas, and I feel happy, loved, and full of Christmas cheer and Yule log. Can't stop smiling like a loon and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world.

A voucher for a cooking lesson with Sabrina Ghayour! Plus overnight in a nice hotel and transport too and from (with OH too so joint experience). She is one of my fave chefs and her recipes are amazing!!!! My OH (who present from) just knows me totally and is so bloody generous. Really cheered me up after miscarrying our first in September

My top 3 are
Opalite snake ornament
Alpacasso plush
Mucha tarot cards
I received so many lovely gifts this year

Vacuum cleaner! Gifted to me and dp from my parents. Ours blew up the week before Christmas hahaha! I’m really chuffed :)

I’m very envious of you all! I got a silver necklace (I never wear silver) a travel mug (to add to my other 15) and a rock engraved with “live, laugh, love” which is as far from my taste as possible.

A weekend away and theatre tickets from DH

A donkey adoption

Lots of candles!! (Simple but I love candles)

I got an echo show and diamomd earings which i love but my fav was a plate, dh had taken dc's to a pottery place and put there handprints on a dinner plate, they each painted a word about things they love about me, its priceless 😍

Breakfast at the Wolseley (a voucher from my sister)

My best present was from my teenage son who has been beside himself with excitement for weeks about what he bought

Two of my favourite things in life are clocks, which I collect, and fans, because I'm always hot! So he bought me this - he thought it was custom made for me

Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine on DVD, was just a lovely surprise and was glad DH remembered that i loved those films.

a massage and facial voucher from dh, also lovely smellies and chocs and lovely smellies again from the ds's

I did really well this year and am chuffed
