So what have you bought and lost?

[RJnomore1]

Not anything major but I've mislaid a Pokemon plush. £3 from China but it's still bothering me.

Its traditional in our house for at least one Christmas present to turn up around Easter.

Looking forward to finding out what it will be this year

£10 next voucher for dh's secret santa at work. Looked everywhere, nearly came on here to ask for suggestions for help haha. Found it though at 11.30pm last night after getting out the bag from the recycling bin outside. Thankfully the recycle bin was full on thrust a morning when bin men came and I had put that bag in Thursday night.

Found a bunny 🐰 that I'd forgotten about last night and and outfit. Oh well out fit can just get put in a draw I can't be bothered to wrap it.

Somebody mentioned boys purses, I have been looking for one for DS for ages. Where did you get them?

Draw meant drawer, its for a baby who isn't going to know or care.

Only my massive roll of turkey foil

I had a big box of toys delivered to my mums from smyths, she put it in her garage and then was argueing with me that she hadn't put it in there and my husband must have collected it. Definitely not as I haven't even looked at it, and I remember telling her not to put in in her garage as I'd rather collect it and have it here, but she said she wasn't going back out to get it.
Now she's found the huge box they've come in but not the toys!! No idea why she opened it or where she has put the stuff, a couple were main gifts for my dd and the amount is quite sizeable - I have no idea how she could lose them?!

A dinosaur backpack for DS (it has dinosaur eyes that flash when it detects a step has been taken). Can't find the blasted thing. Bought it back in June !!

£40 in a money bag! 😫

Would you not suspect the toys had been stolen from the garage

Socks for MIL.

I thought I was the only one that misplaced presents! I can see I'm in good company

My friend was in tesco in September or October when they were doing a huge toy sale and bought a whole trolley full..stashed them in the garage. Was happily announcing to her dh how she had done all the wrapping when he told her she still had ones in the garage to.do. She had completely forgotten all about them!

Two boxes of 2 x Irish coffees from M&S. Secret Santa for my DBIL, I can't stand the stuff!

A sparkly brooch for DM. I have looked absolutely everywhere.

Nothing this year but the year before last I lost an Amazon gift card bought for my nephew. He came round with the family and I couldn't find it anywhere. I felt awful and bought him an evoucher immediately. Luckily Amazon cancelled the gift card and issued a refund for me.

I've lost a lovely warm pair of slipper socks for dh!!!! Can't find them anywhere and I've turned the place upside down 😖

I've still not found that Pokemon.

Nothing this year but probably something tbh but I don't even know it's lost!

My dad once threw out the gifts I'd bought for my niece and nephew. I was livid.

The story above about the boy who stands by the tree disappearing is freaking me out tbh.

Oh dear J3NN1, have they turned up yet? I do hope DM finds them for you. What are you going to do if she can't, buy them again? I hope it works out well for you.

I'm missing a glasses chain. Nothing huge in the scheme of things but it was specifically asked for. It's a nice one made of pearls (Fake.) too. I hope I find it in the downstairs cupboard otherwise I don't know where it is.

A bag of Pokemon figures from aliexpress. Got them about October time and can't find them! Was planning on making bath bombs with them for my kids n family. Oh well hopefully they turn up for Easter and I can make them then lol

Marzipan fruits and a gift voucher, can't find them anywhere on the plus side if they do turn up I can munch the sweets and spend the voucher
Every year i put things in a safe place and they go missing. I thought I was the only one, I see from previous posts I'm not alone. Merry Christmas

I do this every year. Buy stuff early, put it in a safe place, find out it is so safe it is hidden from me too. My DC are quite used to being given the odd Christmas present in June when I come across it again.

This year oldest DC asked for two old and unusual video games, cheap but quite hard to get. Ordered them early and was very pleased with myself. no idea where they are now!

Last year I bought two chocolate logs and have never found them! I know I bought them as I can remember unpacking them at home.

My memory is shocking and after many years of losing presents I now write a list (on my phone) of what I bought and where I've put it

But we still have the favourite game of hunt dd1 birthday card, her birthday is 3 days after Christmas and so we buy her cards early - to avoid the selection of two because card shops seem to think nobody has a December birthday, but that's another thread - every year without fail I can't remember where I have put it, I came across 3 that I have bought previously and thought great don't have to get one and now don't know where they are

So.. the dream catcher I thought I had lost has just turned up in the post! Apparently I hallucinated receiving it before

Lost some Mistletoe and pine cones which I assumed were wrapped with the other foliage I purchased but not there. Checked car but may go back to stall.
