A bottle of perfume I requested and a ibeanie. Beanbag for the iPad to rest on when I use it.

SunshineCake1 · 26/12/2021 17:22

This won't get well for you @goodlucksoonplease when you're clearly not happy with your candle.

indigoemerald · 26/12/2021 17:22

Concert tickets for my favourite band (which happens to be on my birthday too!), some Luc and Yak dungarees I’ve wanted for ages, a game for my Switch and some chocolate. Very thoughtful and I am very appreciative.

PJ's, cosy wool house socks, books, Chocolate and a jumper.

He sponsored a turtle named PopTart for me. Best gift ever. Really showed he listened when I said I didn’t want anything and that he understands how much I love animals and conservation/rescue.

I’ll get to follow her on an app until her gps tag dies. Very happy bunny.

Sarah180818 · 26/12/2021 17:24

My favourite perfume, some chocolate and lots of lovely clothes

New PJ's, some cute dungarees, a game for my switch, candle and some nice stationary. My PiL however are another story. At least my husband knows me well unlike them.

Imonlydoingwhatican · 26/12/2021 17:29

Nothing. But he never buys me stuff. It is what it is.

Faircastle · 26/12/2021 17:29

What I requested: a box of my favourite chocolates and a heated throw (I shared links to a couple of examples).

What I received: two books about something that interests him, and an Amazon basics (unheated) throw.

Fortunately he is otherwise lovely; I felt slightly miffed for about five minutes and then got over it.

hellswelshy · 26/12/2021 17:29

Some Amber earrings, a hairdryer, a SAD lamp. Books. Bobbly bed socks. A silky sleep mask.
Sorry if you're not happy with what your dh got for you op, was it at least a nice candle?

Cooroo · 26/12/2021 17:29

Lots of Nordic socks
Two books about Spain
Chocolate
Waterproof cycling jacket

I'm pretty pleased with that. I'm crap at presents and got him a baseball cap to replace horrible manky one and some shoes he chose. Blush

Maggie178 · 26/12/2021 17:30

Ropes and a whip

HunterGatherer · 26/12/2021 17:30

Couple of jumpers.
Plants and planters.

Singleorigincoffee · 26/12/2021 17:30

I know this will sound cheesy but We don't buy presents for each other, and there's not any pressure to either.

We just spend it with family and enjoy the time.

Iwouldlikesomecake · 26/12/2021 17:30

A V pillow, which I am currently leaning on and it's the comfiest thing ever
Lego flowers
Apple pencil

He's a good egg.
