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?

@Iggy131313

You HAVE to show us a pic of this stuff.

[NewName73]

Love it.

You can't fault her for effort ...

[sittingonacornflake]

I'm now having a fit of giggles imagining the volunteers at a charity shop trying to work out a suitable display in the event you chose to very kindly donate these gifts....

[Mlou32]

Hahaha obviously they're joke presents. I got my boyfriend a pair of socks with pics of me all over them, wrapped up in wrapping paper with pics of him on 😂

You should display them with pride! 😂

[DukeChatsworth]

Is your Aunt Amy Farrah Fowler?

[Mlou32]

Please please please can you post photos of them??

[Somanysocks]

Line up the cushions facing out of the front window, I know someone who has done this with their dog and every time I go there I wave at the cushion to say hello only to realise afterwards it's not the dog.

[TrappedInThatBrightMoment]

Perhaps the OP could request one of these next year?

[Iggy131313]

Oh no, they are deffo not joke gifts... she’s very sentimental and I often get gifts like 10 reasons I love you, personalised book, or things with my name on.

[DoesntLeftoverTurkeySoupDragOn]

Maybe put one of the cushions in your sons room

"Remember, DS, mummy is always watching your every move..."

[missanony]

What if the OP is one of those selfie people & the aunt thinks she likes photos of herself?

[GaaaaarlicBread]

You should keep them out and when people come and you have a drink , use the cup with your face on and if they say ‘is that your face?’ Say ‘yes...’ and sip out of the cup slowly whilst staring at them , rubbing the cushion with the other hand 🤫

[woooooo]

How come all I can think of is this?

[katy1213]

Can't really return them without a receipt!

[Freshnewus]

Hahaha!
I once was gifted a cushion with my giant face on it... Immediately after labour, holding my newborn baby 😂😂

[Interestedwoman]

LOLOL bless her! It almost sounds like she might have a shrine to you somewhere. :)

[Iggy131313]

@itsemily that make me snort with laughter!

[marvellousnightforamooncup]

I'm sure the local charity shop would love them. They could do a themed display in the window.

[DanielRicciardosSmile]

I love it! I'm picturing your living room now as that room Alan Partridge's no1 fan had!

[Iggy131313]

@DanielRicciardosSmile THATS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT....JED MAXWELL

[pinkyredrose]

Doesn't top idea!

OP you could have some serious fun with regifting

[mnahmnah]

This smacks of someone who has just discovered a photo printing app, thought what a genius idea, and has really gone to town with it after a few drinks!

[listsandbudgets]

This thread has made me laugh uncontrollably. Glad I'm sitting in bed with the laptop so no one can hear me.

bobsyouruncle has the best idea though... for your birthday you must beg your aunt for wallpaper.. imagine the possibilities

[MissMoiselle]

This is GOLD, Op! She must love you very very much and think that you are beautiful. Take it as a compliment.
I can't help but giggle at the thought of regifting these items

[StCharlotte]

Can you out the full-length print somewhere visible from outside to deter burglars?

(Because they'll think you're in, not because you're scary I hasten to add )
