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?

Your aunt sounds amazing!

I love the idea of regifting these items - properly laughing out loud. Rather than to your parents though, I think you should one better and regift the cushions in the office secret santa.

Definitely regift these, but not to friends, it has to be acquaintances or colleagues.

My parents gave us a cushion with a picture of THEIR dog on it this year

Why not pretend you're a celebrity? Have a new mum-from-school friend for coffee, plump up your face cushions, and start dropping in things like, 'Someone on set recommended these biscuits,' 'My stylist swears by...'. Then sip coffee from your face cup, give a nonchalant shrug, and say 'from a fan'.

I've just genuinely laughed out loud for the first time in a long time!

Howling 😂😂😂 this is fantastic. If it wasnt so outing I would pay to see pictures 😂😂

This reminds me of the Alan Partridge episode where Sonia tells the builders that she had personalised scatter cushions made in Snappy Snaps and she slaps one of them when they say 'You can sit on his face now!'

When you say full length picture- do you mean you could use this to hold your clothes up against your decide what to wear in the morning?

OP, I'm up late with my poorly DS and am also slightly pissed so please take this in the spirit in which I mean but, I did guffaw, deeply and gutterally.

I fucking love this. I've not read any follow up posts but the OP wins everything. I love your aunt. Obviously bonkers but clearly wonderful.

Get some embroidery silk and give yourself a dictator moustache on one cushion, Groucho Marx specs on the other.

This really made me laugh! And I also love your Aunt.

Could you give the cushions to your dogs because they miss you when you're out?

This gave me a proper giggle... are you sure your aunt isn't trolling you!?

This is the best thread I’ve read. Genius aunt. OH’s brother may be getting his own face a few times next Christmas now!

This needs to go in classics.
Along with “send around whores “ ( instead of invoices ) that appeared on another thread today.
Cannot stop laughing.

@BoomZahramay best suggestion yet! HAhahahaha

Ok, I’ve name changed since this, but I want you all to know my aunts package has arrived full of Christmas gifts, and I’m very scared!

I remember your thread! Please do update as soon as you open the gifts.

The thread that keeps on giving!

@Puddingypops

Open it now!!!

Yes. I can't wait until Christmas Day for this 😂

Oh dear, you can't even give them to the charity shop!

Love this thread. Make mug a work mug. Least u know it's yours. Full print and cushions in your bedroom? Can you imagine guests faces 😂

The worrying thing is, there’s a really big one, and she’s already said she’s worried I won’t like it or I’ll find it over the top and naff... do you have ANY idea how much terror that strikes to my heart! But strangely these are the gifts I’m looking forward to the most because last year was such a laugh afterwards hahahaha

I would also like to add that I have used the mug a lot, it’s just a good size and you forget when it’s mixed in with all the rest, however there was a certain zoom work meeting a couple of months ago where I suddenly realised I was holding it in perfect view of the whole meeting

I opened this thread wondering why you'd already opened your Christmas presents. Please open this year's early!
