To think this is an odd Christmas present

[Moggymorn]

I met up with a friend yesterday for lunch and we usually exchange small gifts, nothing fancy, up to about £20. For reference I got her a nice candle, a mug and some chocs. Just general little goodies.

She gave me a necklace, which is lovely, but it has the name of her daughter engraved on it. It's a lovely necklace and her daughter is lovely, and I'm sure it would be a lovely present for her... but surely it would make more sense to get my own kids names engraved on it?

It was a lovely necklace but I just don't understand! I'm only really posting as dh thinks she might of ordered that one for her and one with my own kids name on for me and got them the wrong way round and said to ask her. Or is this not as weird as it seems in my head?

The only good thing about that gift is that although it did not make OP happy, it has brought all of us Xmas joy in the form of this thread.

Yes poorstudent I was also thinking OP is going to have to wear it now whenever she sees her friend 😂😂

I hope friend doesn't read MN?!!!!!

Are you sure she's a pal op?

I hope she does read the thread and realises she's been fucking weird

I think as the OP hasnt been back, there is a good chance her friend DOES read MN!

Even if her friend doesn’t read MN, this is bound to be picked up and in the news at some point. Hopefully it will be a good wake up call to anyone who genuinely thinks others might like such gifts.

Oh my. She is barmy, poor love. Does she want something with your kid on it?! Wtaf.

The immediate defensiveness shows it was totally a regift that she was trying to get away with.

Maybe she has bought two and gave you the wrong one. if not a bit dtrange unless you are godmother to her child or something.

@rainbowbear10 and several others - RTFT! OP texted the gift-giver and the gift was intended for her.

Yay I thought it was just me with the H Samuel range ... why would they call it that ?!? 😂😂😬.

Necklace is v odd ..
