🎄 Presents that you love that other people hate 🎄

[LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet]

For me it’s smellies! Even Baylis and Harding makes me happy (I know on MN gifting B&H is the equivalent of punching someone in the face). Anything I can pour in a bath, or use to take 13 layers of skin off my body is a great gift.

Fluffy socks all day long! But also candles and alcohol

I’m intrigued

Socks

Bath/shower smellies. Love them! That is not a shit gift for me. Bottle of bubble bath is my perfect gift.

I love PJs, candles/wax melts, stationary, body creams, nail sets and all that other stuff Boots sell and stick in different packaging year after year. 😅 It’s all stuff I forget to buy but when I get them as gifts I absolutely use!

I love all of the above - I think I’m the easiest person to shop for as I just love smellies, chocolates, fluffy socks, I also love the niche novelty gifts that are so hated on mn. I genuinely can’t think of a gift I’ve received that I haven’t been pleased with - and I’m a primary school teacher!

Book tokens definitely.
Lovely notebooks and stationery (I keep a diary in a moomins notebook).
Dd regifted me some perfume recently. It's an expensive one I wouldn't buy for myself but she no longer wanted it so that s good too.

I'm the opposite OP. I like practical presents. I find smellies and candles just boring and pointless.

If I'm given very expensive ones, I regift them to someone who will appreciate them. If less expensive, they go to the food bank.

Thankfully my loved ones know me, so it seldom happens.

Any kind of sweets or chocolate. Sure, I can buy sweets myself, but the point of a food treat gift is that you eat it entirely free from guilt.

It isn't the chocolate you're giving me, it's permission to eat it.

I love shower and hair products, slippers, pyjamas, garden centre vouchers, jumpers, chocolates. Nice candles, diffusers.

A mug. Love a good mug.

Ohhh me too!!

Stamps and batteries. Always useful to have in the house

I will repeat what many have said here, candles, socks, pjs, hand cream, bodyshop stuff. Such a cliche but I can't be bothered to go shopping for that kind of stuff but I love it. My husband is always so weirdly flumuxed when it come to picking me a Xmas present. I feel like women are so easy to shop for as I seem to like small, simple pleasures but he seems to want the world 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pyjamas, socks, smellies … love them … I’m easy to please lol

Socks, candles, pens, wine and chocolates. Also tea and coffee.

Socks
Kitchen stuff

Last year we moved into our new home that has a bath and my favourite gift from my husband was a big selection of bath bombs and bubble baths!! I hadn’t thought of asking for them he just new I’d love it!

I also love fluffy socks, pyjamas, candles, a terrys chocolate orange and slippers! I’m pregnant this year so I don’t think he’s going to buy the pyjamas.

Last year all he wanted was a really nice luxurious cosy dressing gown. I have to say it’s still like brand new and he loves it!

The best present I ever got was a giant GIANT jar of pickled eggs my mum made for me. It was like 3 dozen. They lasted to Easter, it was amazing.

My mum always gets me socks & knickers. I like getting chocolate, too!

Another vote for vouchers. I love going out to spend them and will always think of what I buy as a gift from that person.

Bed socks! Shower gel! All practical stuff, pyjamas, chocolate, I’m easy to buy for. I do prefer things I can use. I also love sheets and pillowcases, as they tend to be things that go to the bottom of my shopping list.

@CantFindTheBeat it was in Aldi!! Was really nice, it was in the middle aisle (obviously 😂)
They had a few different smells but that was the nicest! It was just a small one with the name on the front and decorated with mince pie print!

Ive currently got their Xmas tree one on the go (white glass with a silver star on) and its really nice, really strong and so Xmasey!
Ill get the mince pie one if its still there when im back in next Fri!

Bayliss and Harding soap. I think it smells nice.

Big standard tubs of chocolate like heroes, celebrations, roses etc.

Household gadgets and practical items. Love them.

Socks. Also any sort of practical gift such as kitchen equipment or storage containers. I would much prefer this over anything like candles, smellies etc.
