AIBU?

To hide these items unless she’s visiting....

I already know the answer to this really, because I either only display these items when my aunt visits, OR I look like the craziest narcissist this side of “I love myself town”.

My aunt is a beautiful and generous woman, and I love her. She buys me lots of thoughtful gifts at Christmas because she loves to do it, and I am grateful. She also loves to spend time making sure her gifts are personal, but MN, OH MN, this year has been spectacular....

I am 40 years old, I live with my DS who is 9. And this year my aunt has gone onto my Facebook, specifically my profile pictures and for Christmas I got the following....

  1. A full length canvas print of me posing in a dress.
  2. A mug with my face on.
  3. A travel mug with my face on.
  4. not one, BUT TWO cushions each of a close up OF MY FACE.
  5. A FULL CALENDER EACH MONTH WITH A DIFFERENT PICTURE OF MY OWN FACE!

    Now, who, IN THEIR RIGHT MIND HAS THEIR OWN FACE ON CUSHIONS! IMAGINE WHAT VISITORS WOULD THINK!

    It has made me laugh so much, but was not in any way a joke....ahhhhhh families eh?

Oh well. Just become famous for something and they'll be worth a fortune.

Take the mug into work - at least you'll be guaranteed no one else will use it, v covid safe.

@Feckmesideways well, no, BUT it’s like psychosomatic, so even though the knob cheese is vanilla when you sniff it, my subconscious creates vanilla with knob cheese, I’m yet to sniff the sweaty minge...

I shrieked when I saw the minge and covered it from my son, if you look carefully at the pic you can see where I’ve started to try to remove the label, but they are REALLY stuck on. I won’t waste the candles, but there’s no way those labels are staying on...nooooo way!

Do the candles actually smell like their title?

My dad's photogift mad this year. Everyone got one. Bags, cushions, mugs, canvases, pillows. Thankfully he can't visit as it's too far. I've sent a photo of it on the wall then took it down 🤣

That’s hilarious. YABU to put them away and deprive others of a good giggle.

You could always regift them as long as you promise to record the recipients reactions

OMG this is the best thread ever. I thought you had to be making it up when I saw this years gifts, but there was the photographic proof.

I'm wondering how the candles smell........is it the sweaty minge of a celeb perhaps?
