A coffee keep cup.

Two love letters.

A lovely silver necklace with a topaz that matches my engagement ring.
Baking stuff, round tin, cake lifter, silicon mould and mat. I've discovered baking since I got pregnant and can't wait to do more of it next year.
Blue dungaree dress.
White maternity Tshirt.
Some note pads and organisational bits and bobs.

I'm so chuffed with everything. Little things like the note pad really showed me he listened.

Louis Vuitton never full and balenciaga trainers. I've been very spoilt! 🥰

SpudleyLass · 26/12/2021 20:43

Money is tight ; we don't buy each other anything

Whatelsecouldibecalled · 26/12/2021 20:46

Some sleep spray I like. A mug with photos of DS on. Choc from hotel chocolate which is my favourite and a new smart watch.

violetbunny · 26/12/2021 20:47

Some Bose sleepbuds, and some pyjamas with my favourite cartoon character on them (Pusheen the cat)

RustyBear · 26/12/2021 20:49

We are getting each other a computer - he needs one because he's just retired & lost his work laptop, and I'm getting a Mac instead of Windows.

Alliwantforchristmasisbooze · 26/12/2021 20:49

Wireless headphones 😬but, we had agreed not to get each other anything this year, concentrate on Dd and buy ourselves something. So I’ll get some new conserve and maybe perfume in a few weeks, he’ll get phone or computer bits

CynsterBitch · 26/12/2021 20:50

Moonwrap, a change robe for my outdoor swimming, just as requested

Musmerian · 26/12/2021 20:55

Silver Cara Tonkin necklace, L’Occitane bath oil, bobble hat, record, mug and socks.

GaolBhoAlba · 26/12/2021 20:56

A mulberry bayswater (high shine) and a bottle of chanel coco.

I'd be getting a divorce if I was bought dungarees especially those shapeless yak and whatever ones 😜

CuddlyDudley · 26/12/2021 21:01

I was very surprised to receive a new exercise outfit, a couple of sports bras, an exercise jacket and a cosy in house hoody. Think he went a bit mad on the fabletics website. Plus all my usual chocolate, candles and bath stuff. This year's has been a weird year and my birthday wasn't really celebrated so I think he was making up for that as well 😁

MargotandJerrywerehot · 26/12/2021 21:03

A Virginia Woolf tapestry kit, fleur de portofino and a weighted blanket. Currently stitching pinned to sofa by blanket smelling summery.

NCkitchen · 26/12/2021 21:04

Nothing!

And I'm happy about it

Its the first time ever where we've said let's not bother and actually stuck to it! Woop

ScreamingMeMe · 26/12/2021 21:05

@Faircastle

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.

The Amazon basics throw is the first result you get when you search "heated throw" (I was looking for one earlier) so that might have been an honest mistake.
Sunshinedreaming2022 · 26/12/2021 21:10

Was it a nice candle @goodlucksoonplease? I do love a nice candle.

I didn’t get one but I did get my favourite Chanel perfume, my favourite sweets, a new outfit for the gym, my favourite liz Earle cleanser and an apple AirTag as I am forever loosing my keys. All things picked from my list I sent him. He did good

Nottosure22 · 26/12/2021 21:19

He got me a Jacquemus bag that i love so much! Some cute socks (always a winner with me) and an outfit from Monki i had in my wishlist. Im very lucky, he always tries really hard to get me amazing presents 🥰

Letsbekindplease · 26/12/2021 21:27

2 x pjs one being a maternity pair as I’m pregnant. Cosy bed socks, lush box , lovely ear rings. I think he felt bad for the year previous as he got me pjs that I asked for and mens socks …

@ScreamingMeMe - when I opened it, he seemed quite surprised that it wasn't a heated throw, so I think you might be right.

I can vouch for this… nearly made the same mistake myself.

I asked for a specific scarf from net a porter (I sent a link of it to him)and as a surprise he got my favourite body shop fragrance in a gift box set - rose. So happy. This is the last year of "big" presents as we have a kitchen to save for
