Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope you have a happy and lovely Christmas!

Obviously posting in AIBU for traffic, but since it's Christmas day, I hope you can forgive me.

What's your favorite Christmas gift? Mine is a "baby boy" pendant with a tiny diamond from DH, I am pregnant with a baby boy after heart break and loss and books!

Sending unmumsnetty hugs to everyone!Flowers

I got some coasters with different pictures of our dog and some headlights for my crocs , lots of other stuff but they’re my favourites.

i would have been able to add my long looked for cerise le creuset egg holder but BIL seems to have lost it between leaving his flat yesterday and waking up this morning

Headlights for Crocs?

I feel like I need a picture!

@pukkapine how lovely!

@GlitteryUnicornSparkles that sounds right up my street! Where is the jumper from if you don't mind me asking?

DH got me a snoozeband (eye mask with inbuilt headphone) for when we travel soon. Love it! Some art bits and luxury toiletries and chocolates I would never normally splurge on.

I always joke to my husband that I’m going to leave him and become a lesbian truck driver…

He got me a lorry driving experience 🤣 I’m so excited!!

Also got some Gucci perfume, some crystal vodka and some limited addition vinyl

I got a wooden pepper mill. Look how beautiful it is, it is the most beautiful pepper mill in the world.

DelilahBucket · 25/12/2023 15:57

A toasty warm gillet (asked for) and a gorgeous brooch I didn't ask for from DH but he saw it and thought I'd love it, which I do. Very thoughtful.
Not a physical gift, but super proud of DS15 this year with his gratitude and just general attitude as a whole.

Crikeyalmighty · 25/12/2023 15:57

My 25 year old son isn't really a presents kind of person but I was really touched at this -

What’s a baby boy pendant OP? Pregnant with my second son and would love to see it if you have a link? My best gift was probably seeing my toddler open his gifts honestly!! Actual gift wise my husband got me some amazing Scottish shortbread!!! And some gorgeous fleeces that fit over my bump! They are so warm and cozy!

AhBiscuits · 25/12/2023 16:01

I got a Dyson Airwrap. Very unexpected and welcome 😊

From Shein, the pink is actually quite a bit paler than in the photo but it only cost around £10 in the sale and I love it, its so soft!

This.

I bought it for the 2 teens as a family present for us all for the day.

We are building it now. Enjoying the togetherness of it all. That's the sort of feeling money can't buy.

A board to do jigsaws on. I am very happy.

I had other lovely presents too but it's nice when someone picks up on what you said you'd like but didn't think anyone noticed.

Laurama91 · 25/12/2023 16:03

A dobby logo set 😂 was literally like a kid at Christmas when I opened it

jamimmi · 25/12/2023 16:10

Ds brought me some bacci chocolates from Italy he's been keeping them since his uni trip in September. It's the thought he remembered when away with the boys and actually got me them. Added to some lovley bubble bath he's on a winner

PermanentTemporary · 25/12/2023 16:10

I've only just realised I don't really like anything I've got, but I also don't give a crap. Ds wrote me a card full of lovely words that made me so happy. He also went to see his dad's parents when I was too unwell to go. Dp and I cooked all afternoon together and he is so patient with ds who is only very slowly getting used to him being around. We had a wonderful meal.

The fact that the presents themselves aren't anything that I would ever choose doesn't bother me.

DeedlessIndeed · 25/12/2023 16:18

Oh congratulations OP! That is so lovely.

I'm also pregnant and so asked for a marbled paper photo album for baby's first year. It is absolutely gorgeous, feels very special for new baby.

My husband made me a Scrabble set. The board is made from oak and he cut all the individual tiles and laser cut the letters into them. He also made a purple drawstring bag for the tiles to go in. I know it wouldn't be everyone's idea of a nice present but I love it and really appreciate the work that went into it, as he isn't a natural wood worker.

stepintochristmas1 · 25/12/2023 16:23

A beautiful new fountain pen from husband , I've always wanted one 😍.

Snowflakecookie1989 · 25/12/2023 16:24

Tickets to meet Tim Curry next summer. 🥰🥰🥰

C1N1C · 25/12/2023 16:25

My family are away, so it's actually nice to not do anything and to not have to deal with all the stress.

RabbitsRock · 25/12/2023 16:28

Still have more pressies to come from DD & DSIL but so far it’s part of DH’s present to me - a reed diffuser. It’s simple but he bought one that says relax on it & he said that is something I really need to do.

ohthatstoohot · 25/12/2023 16:29

My mum knitted me a gorgeous suffragette scarf.

I'm going to treasure it forever.

IncompleteSenten · 25/12/2023 16:34

I love them all. I got a mini soup maker, some nail varnish and some fancy hand and foot care stuff. I'm chuffed with them. I can't pick a favourite.

Catlover1705 · 25/12/2023 16:37

Amazed how many ladies had Lego as gifts. I'm a Lego fan too so nice to know. I love my Alien perfume.

AngryBird6122 · 25/12/2023 16:40

@GlitteryUnicornSparkles thanks! 😍
