Whenever someone asks me this question I suddenly seem to know absolutely nothing about myself. I am a person with interests and likes and dislikes but can I fuck remember them when asked

Cartier Love bracelet (the one with all the diamonds)
Almost anything from Linley, ideally a coffee table

Ditto DC2.
A stocking full of small gifts, nice toiletries, candles, books, Artisan Du Chocolat chocolates etc from DH.

I'm now beginning to wonder why I have never actually told family this Hmm
