My DM got me a waving Chinese cat, but it's solar panelled so when enough light hits it (either electric light or natural sunlight) the arm waves itself. I love it. I love cats anyway, but this is just sweet - so much thought went into it from my DM which makes a change as she usually just buys me any crap she can find it's got pride of place on my mantel piece next to my desk so I can see it all the time.

What about you? Did you get an odd present you love?

350 tiny skulls. Some of which have horns.

Was thrilled!

Shower gel chosen, wrapped, and given to me by DD from summer fair with no adult input required at all.

Bubblysqueak · 05/01/2018 20:22

Lego of my own that I don't have to share!

topcat2014 · 05/01/2018 20:22

Christmas fair - obvs...

IceLemonGin · 05/01/2018 20:22

I got a label maker. Still ridiculously excited about it!

A colouring-in mug.

I don't do colouring-in books, I get bored very quickly. But the mug is at work, visible on my desk; and whenever I get stressed, I stop for a few minutes and just colour in a little bit more.

I'd love a label maker. I'd go all Sheldon on the house.

Information a game of thrones teabag holder.

This will totally out me but I don't care. DH gave me a custom printed cushion of Chris Hemsworth's face as Thor. I cuddle him.

MummySparkle · 05/01/2018 20:25

I got a Lego Train!! All to myself. Took hours to build and it looks fab. So sad to put it into a box now Christmas is over. Can't wait to do it again next year!!

LegArmpits · 05/01/2018 20:26

A rechargeable Bosch screwdriver and drill 😂

Weedsnseeds1 · 05/01/2018 20:28

A rolling pin with laser etched skulls, so I can make skull embossed pastry Grin

Goodwill2Mandatorymongoosekind · 05/01/2018 20:29

A dinosaur egg. Me and DS have been hatching him, has been my favourite thing checking on it each morning before work.

Fallenmadonnawiththebigboobies · 05/01/2018 20:29

A basket that sits at the bottom or top of my stairs as a receptacle fit all the little random bits that need to go up or down when I’m tidying. I LOVE it.

BothersomeCrow · 05/01/2018 20:36

A silk vest. It feels wonderful and so warm!

BrigitsBigKnickers · 05/01/2018 20:50

DD ( an avid crafter) fashioned me a cushion made with a pair of tights! Perfect lumbar support!

Beetle76 · 05/01/2018 20:53

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who was delighted with their own Lego 😊

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 05/01/2018 20:53

Fancy maille mustard with horseradish that had to be specially sourced. Best gift ever!

Oldraver · 05/01/2018 20:54

A Mattock....I haven't had chance to use it yet

A couple of decent sharp knives

I tried to remember if I’d mentioned that I was lacking in knives because if not they were a pretty random gift! But actually very useful and much appreciated!

ActualMermaid · 05/01/2018 20:56

A lower back support pillow! I’ve never asked for one and didn’t realise they even existed! Now I don’t know how I’ve gone so long without one. Grin

ElsaMars · 05/01/2018 20:57

My mum bought me a plastic sparkly teal and gold cup with a lid and straw. I really love it!

Squirrels765 · 05/01/2018 20:59

I got a playmobil castle, can’t wait to build it on my week off work!

Toddlerteaplease · 05/01/2018 20:59

A car sticker of the pope. So he looks like he's my passenger. It was bought as a joke for my secret Santa. I love it

mamaduckbone · 05/01/2018 21:04

A Carmex lip balm in a leopard print tin from ds2...but he chose it himself so I luff it.

Ladymadness · 05/01/2018 21:04

Maybe not weird but been told im weird for being so excited Grin
I got a pair of fluffy bunny slippers the ones that are like boots. I had to throw away all of my old slippers not too long ago because they were all falling apart my oldest pair was 11 years old i had bought them for the hospital when my eldest was born so was gutted when i threw them away. I squealed like a litte girl xmas morning when i opened my bunny slippers lets see how long these ones last Grin
