To ask for the strangest but best received gift..

[Flutteringsatlast]

My dh bought me a new chicken house one birthday...
I loved it!! Loved my chickens and he knew that!!
Happy days!

Pressure washer from DH for my birthday.
Carpet washer (vax thingy with spinscrub) for DH for his birthday.

My mum bought me an egg slicer and also a cheese grater which clipped onto its own "tupperware" box when we moved house

3kw generator. Love it. Followed by an outside paint job for our home - done by someone else for a change and not me!!!!

Also forgot about this one DH bought me a wheeled lawnmower instead of our crappy flymo after he had a heart attack so I could drag it and mow the front lawn.

who said romance was dead

Aroundtheworld- My DSIS bought my DH a metre tall wooden giraffe for Christmas just after we got married! We’ve had him for 10 years now, he’s called Geoffrey and he has his own little Santa hat to wear at Christmas!

Not really strange but DH bought me a hideous pink floor length dressing gown for Christmas about 10 years ago. I was horrified at the time as it really was something my nan would wear. I'm still wearing it to this say as it's the comfiest thing I ever did own!

My next door neighbour, who was lovely if a little strange, and was a little obsessed with native American culture and bushcraft skills, made me a dreamcatcher, but he made it fully traditionally from this he forged in the forest we live in. It was a present for my future children and given at a time we had been trying to get pregnant for around 18 months with no luck.

We now have 2 dc and it hangs in their bedroom and makes me smile.

*foraged not forged.

I think I get my sister good presents but she is fussy and hard to buy for.

The only one she has ever raved about and told me to keep the standard up was an essential oil diffuser with a set of oils.

It was similar to this: 400ml Wood Grain Essential Oil Diffusers Ultrasonic Humidifier Portable Aromatherapy Diffuser with Cool Mist and 7 Colour Changing LED Lights Aroma Diffuser, Waterless Auto off Air Purifiers [[https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WV7QQZX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4EewEbAV1S33?tag=mumsnetforu03-21V]]

Okay so these aren’t cheap presents but last Christmas DH bought me a Segway experience which was fab and this year he’s bought me an hour in a 737 flight simulator which I’m unbelievably excited about!

My mil gave dp a 16 piece basic white dinner set, a 3 pack of tea towels and a lint roller for his 40th I was happy...dp not so much
