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

[Iggy131313]

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 my god this thread is gold. I'm in complete stitches, the Michael mug just finished me off. Laughing so hard I woke up the baby. I can't wait for this year's reveal!

I love this thread. I hope your aunt has outdone herself this year OP. 🤣

@SmuggyMcKnobson

OP - you do know you can also get your face printed on socks these days. Maybe your aunt is saving these for your birthday?

Please please please - where can I get these from

This reminds me of Alan Partridges room that Jed makes 😂

And there I was thinking Christmas is going to be a bit shit this year, but no, i have this to look forward too. Belting.

I got my son socks with the dogs face and Santa hats last year. Maybe I should get him ones with my face and his dads and make him wear them to school

OP this is going to make your run up to Christmas way more exciting. Can’t wait (don’t open them early!)

I really, REALLY want a life size canvas of myself now. My mind is running over with the possibilities.

Put it in the window to freak out the neighbours, inside cupboard doors, the back of the toilet door, pin-the-tail (or variation) games at parties, caption competitions?

The cushions have potential too. Please, sit on my face, make yourself comfortable.

Open it pleeeeeeeese op - you can't leave us hanging for weeks, it's cruel.

I'm hoping that she has got you one of those build a bears with the voice box inside saying "you are the best person in the world"

Or a projection light, a la Gail Porter/house of commons style, which you can project onto your house with a big close up of your face.

She sounds totally amazing!

Cringe gifts but obviously thoughtful which is what counts.

I'm so happy this thread is back. I'm reminded of it every time that "Unregiftable" advert comes on the telly!

Placemarking this is wonderful! I also dont have any Aunties, wish I did!

I would be very tempted to put ALL of them in the spare bedroom just to totally freak out visitors staying over! (outwith Covid times, obvs)

I'm in love with the aunt.

Can't help feeling sorry for Michael's nan though.

Very funny has made me laugh on this dull Sunday morning.

Bless her cotton socks!!

Can you keep the cushions in your car?

I remember this from earlier in the year! So pleased she has sent you more stuff.

Loving the idea of you sending her a picture of you holding the mug/cushion whilst gazing at the calendar

I’m definitely coming back here after Christmas.

Yes, having read this for the first time, I want to know what you got.
The mug would have been used at work.

OP how FABULOUS.

Frankly, I'd put it all out whenever I was in need of a pick-me-up - especially if I was expecting a plumber or something. Just imagine their face!

Erm, the biggish gift isn't the suitcase is it?

I had an Auntie that used to buy me things with either my name or initial on (70s kid) she was my favouritefab because she cared.

I wish I was an Auntie!

Lord and lady titles sounds amazing I hope they use them!

Your aunt has saved Christmas OP

Amazing thread, I can’t wait to see what she’s got you this year 😁
