Do you know what your main gift is? Or what have you had already?

[tiamariaxxx]

Im dying to know what ive got, me and OH limit each other to £50 each as a general rule, ive got him just loads of little bits really since everything he wanted was expensive, but ive been having a nose at my stuff and unless everythings from poundshop or somehing im sure hes gone over budget.. Im worse than the kids can tell i hardly ever get out for myself on a regular basis.

My mum asked a few weeks ago and i said i want money, shes put me 50 in a card and still got a bag of presents i cant believe how much ive got this year.

MIL/FIL arent getting me and OH anything as they payed for a new stairs carpet last month, last few years ive been showered with gifts from them

Dh bought me a personalised wellie boot bag.

A coffee making machine hooray! And the all the short listed books for the man booker prize (book people bargain)

I got a pair of beautiful jones bookmaker knee length boots which do not zip up over my fat calves. Am gutted but as they were from house of fraser hopefully can return them for store credit and get something from biba.

Also Kurt Geiger ankle boots which DO fit thankfully, and a massive Xmas hamper from an Italian food company. CDs, DVDs, smellies, my Chanel allure (which I've been dropping mega hints about running out of so see he does listen sometimes!) and some baileys and Moët 2004 grand vintage which I shall keep for dd2s 18th as she was born that year.

All fab - I'm not totally sure about the cow print onesie though!

I got a totoro satchel I had been eyeing up on amazon which im so chuffed with as cant believe he chose it!! cant believe the detail and sk excited to start using it!!

and some ferrero rocher which I had outright asked for (hints dont work!!! )

Some Tiffany earrings
Ash virgin high tops
La vie est belle perfume

Got some earrings from a friend, dd got me some fudge which is lush!
Dm got me a Nigel slater book, nail varnish and some hotel chocolate stuff and a few other bits and bobs.

Bed of nails looks interesting! It's my birthday on 25th January heh heh.
DH got us tickets to see Turandot at The Royal Opera House in early Feb. He says he is dealing with all babysitting, transport and eating matters on the night. What a treat, I've always wanted to see an opera there but baulked at the £. It's also on my "bucket list" having been ill on and off for the last couple of years.

I was very spoilt

And my favourite present an ironing board off mil so my old wonky one can finally go in the bin

I knew what I was getting from DM and DB (a silk-filled duvet and a set of crochet hooks) but I had no idea what the DC or H would get me. The DC gave me a new digital watch as I had been wearing a temporary bright pink one for months. H gave me an amber pendant necklace, all my really jewellery and most of my costume jewellery was stolen in a burglary in May. All in all a very good haul this Christmas, and I slept like a log under my lovely new duvet.

Dh and I will be getting each other 1/2 a washing machine each when the sales start. I got 2 books from my two sons and a framed set of photos from my mum as well as a painting.

I can't believe how many presents some of you got you jammy things.

Sounds like weve all had a lovely christmas :)

Well i was right my OH did spend more im actually over joyed i was filling up hes got me a gorgeous eternity ring, i honestly didnt have a clue, i feel so bad i hardly got him anything. He also got me Lacoste perfume gift set, soap and glory set and new duvet cover lol. Also got the usual stocking fillers off him box of milk tray, bottle of baileys, photo frame etc.
My mum already gave me money but still got a few bits off her (scarf set, socks, chocolates, dove set). My in laws got me a dressing gown (wasnt expecting anything as they bought us a ew stair carpet a while back).

Also got about 10 various gift sets, loads of chocolate off other relatives and friends. Also forgot my big teddybear kids got me :):):)

Over all im feeling very lucky that im still getting gifts at my age
