My present is a trip to St Ives on the 27th. A whole 4 nights, just me, DS and DH, in a beautiful place, in the worlds smallest cottage. BLISS!

Giving:
Octotunes for DS. The whole family is sure to enjoy that one.

Framed collection of anniversary and valentines cards for DH (nice arty letterpress ones that I've sent him over the years, not glittery ones from Clintons)

Lovely handmade laptop case for DM, imported from the US. I love Etsy!

Receiving:
Anything Lovely from DH - his sense of style and ability to pick out beautiful things that fit never cease to amaze me.

Awesome dinner from DM - I love Christmas with the family

Memories of a fabulous first Christmas with my beautiful DS.

Giving:
A toy puppy for dd that barks - she will LOVE it!
All ds's bits and bobs

Receiving:
Whatever dh has got me - actually got me something on his own, so even if it is a laminator my face will be like this

A Lego ninja clock for ds, he'll wet himself when he sees it. And a lemur for dd (not a real one). They have bigger presents, but I think they will both love these ones.

I won't be getting anything, but I'm ok with that.

DH - cashmere jumper
DS2 - cuddly gruffalo
I don't have a third because DH did the presents for DS1.

What I would love to receive is a book on how to write. I love writing but I fear I am rubbish and the only person who ever reads anything I write is DH.

Giving:

Big dolls' house which is a joint present for DS and DD (and I KNOW they will both love it!)

Toilet roll holder and towel ring set for FIL (an "extra" to his main present which he chose, but something they could really do with!)

Games for the DCs - partly because they were such a bargain, I got a job lot of loooads of really good games (which will do as presents over several years) for £20 - secondhand but in good condition - and they will be getting the first 3 tomorrow, which I think they will love.

Receiving: I know I am getting a new light for outside the front door (saw it by accident!) but really wanted one so that is great!

Giving
A double bed ds1 aged 15 which he doesnt know about which nearly killed me tonight sneaking it in the front room

A desk and leather chair for ds2 which again he diesnt know about

And a watch for dh cause he loves watches

I wanted some snow boots but got those last week for my birthday so i have no idea what i will be getting, maybe a new book

Giving:

DH his lovely scarf I knitted- he's better like it!
DD2 her cheap hairdryer I got on Boots points at the weekend as an "extra" as she said she really wanted one, as her big sis had stolen hers to take to uni
DD1 actually the £3 charity shop high heel red sequinned "dorothy" shoes (bran new New Look ones). even if they don't fir she'll be thrilled.

funny that the little extra pressie give me the warm fuzzies more than the "big" pressies in someways.

Getting- my new handbag, but I did choose that myself.

Giving: DS's first made present for DH; a throw for mum; a dvd for dad.

Getting: Flowers from DH; a Toblerone from my nephews - dead cert every year and I really look forward to it.

giving - ds1's bike which he doesn't know he's getting, ds2' playmobil police station and a ladybird key torch thingy for my mother as she's been complaing for ages that she can never find a reeplacement for the free key torch she used constantly until it died.

getting - my mother's gift, it's my only surprise!

DS1s lightsabre
DS2s squeaky blackbird puppet
DS3s microphone and stand

Have not asked for anything, so anything will be a lovely surprise.

unreasonablemuch your post made me sob a bit. What a lovely lovely gift.

The kindle went down very well indeed. I didn't get a hug though.
