AIBU to ask what you received for Christmas?

[GunillaGarsonGoldberg]

Since I can’t find a thread in the Christmas Forum?

I love hearing about other people’s gifts, good, bad and humorous.

I’ve had a crappy Christmas (really poorly and missed every party/family day) but loved my gifts from everyone which was my only positive part of the season!

I will start, my favs are:
Hive with Alexa
A handmade poem in a frame from DD2
A Disney quiz game from DD1
Gorgeous Ted Baker pjs from my Mum

I didn’t get any bad gifts this year, so no funnies there!

Kids got some funny musical things in their stockings which were like spinning tops which played Axel F and lit up (and they spent ages playing with them),

What did Santa bring you? X

Tins of beans and spaghetti loops from Lidl.

A set of plates

Aghhh I wish I had got mushy peas, we had forgotten them and they are my fav part of Christmas dinner!

An iPad
A gorgeous bracelet
A handbag
Benefit make up

Grey Gardens were they a special design? Or something you just really needed?

One year I bought my sister 20 tea spoons as she could never find any in her house, she was over the moon!

No7 gift sets. From everyone. At least im stocked up.for the year!

A calendar and some chutney.

Sounds lovely SoyDora, I was just saying to the husband that as my eye sight getting so bad I think I may get an iPad (used to have an iPad 2 but I have away to a relative). Now I struggle to see my screen!

Weirdest was a hi vis vest from my parents to keep in the car for emergencies!

Best was a£50 Bravissimo voucher and a voucher for a pedicure at a posh local hotel.

Most disappointing was the dash cam I asked for, I told DH to research it properly, I wanted one that recorded front and back. The one he got was cheap and only has a rear camera when you are reversing (not much good when you spend almost all your journey going forwards on a motorway! It also doesn’t fit behind the rear view mirror as my fiesta has a heated front windscreen and there is a big plastic bulkhead there! So he did no research at all!

My DH got me a box file. I think it is a not so subtle hint to start filing household paperwork somewhere other than random cupboards...

Coat
Hair curlers
Garden chairs
Money
Chocolate

I got some lovely presents this year.

Lokibear yes make up always good and saves a fortune!

Sugar, no calendar here (usually get one) will have to pick one up in the sale. The chutney will be good for all the Christmas cheese!

X2 ukeleles! One for each hand?! 😂

A beautiful handbag
Hogwarts Lego set
Mamma Mia 2 dvd
Spa voucher
Cash 💰
Clarins skin care
stand up comedy dvds

Trinity, ah the safety present! Suppose may come in useful at some point :) vouchers sounds lovely!!! Shame about the dash cam, can you return and replace with something more suited to what you need?

Bach, I have a box file, will change your life as you will know where to put, bit of a tip, don’t put on a top shelf you can’t reach easily, I end up sometimes shoving the papers on the shelf not in the file and then have to have a clear out every few months!

Loch they sound lovely :)

Leonidas chocolate truffles

Wow ladies some great gifts there (and good ideas of what to buy for others next year)!

I live getting smellies and candles, books etc. I always think I am easy to buy for! I’ve had 3 days of different new PJs (with being so poorly I have been in PJs on sofa for 3 days).

I also received tickets to the ballet (I have never ever been, I am a theatre kind of girl) hoping I enjoy it!

I bought husband a trip to Bruge, he was very pleased and PlayStation games. As I’ve been so I’ll he has been in his element playing non stop while I sleep!
