From the way consecutive lines all run together when posts are displayed on TIO, it looks like you are asking for chocolate slippers :o

Nothing. I'll probably get £20 from my mum and something small from my DS. If I can afford it, I'll get myself a jet and silver necklace.

Toetoe socks, Liz Earle cleanse and polish, DM biker boots, Nashville CD Grin
I may have already ordered some of these in case older relatives give money towards 'something I'd enjoy' and meanwhile clocking up the overtime to make up the difference, with any unaccounted £s being saved for the sales!

Nothing. Parents don't get presents in my family....but dp might stretch to a couple of Lindt reindeers I guess!

I actually prefer it, and treat myself in the boots sale instead.

I have asked for the new Agatha Raisin book and Call the Midwife (DVD, have read the books) but I'm quite tempted by reading all of Poirot too! Otherwise I'm pleased with chocolates, smelly stuff, really typically girlie presents (not make up though, very sensitive skin)

A handmade flat cap- I will get this as DH is enraged that I wear his so he gets a cold head :o
Some North Face walking boots- I will get these as I desperately need new boots so will order them anyway, I would just rather unwrap them on Christmas Day :o
The GBBO book- I will get this as I ordered it from the Book People to bump my order up :o

TBH DH is well meaning but a little like a rabbit in the headlights in proper shops and not much better online. We also tend to order exactly what we want or need and I rarely have surprises as I am so fussy
