The biggest gift has been to have my parents to stay and for everyone to be healthy.

However presents are nice too... I was given a spa break from DH at the hotel where we got married. My dad was given theatre tickets and my mum a special piece of pottery. DH had some lovely new cookware. DS had games, books and gadgets. DD is fully kitted out in sportswear.

All in all, very happy and pleased.

Oh and some pictures beautifully framed and a voucher for my favourite tattoo artist.

A Hammerhead Shark necklace from a local jeweler. I love it - toddler DS calls me mummy shark 🦈.

Other than that I got a giant foam roller and some of my favorite chocs and a few beauty bits (spendy shampoo and conditioner).

Mumski45 · 25/12/2021 17:41

A 3000 piece jigsaw, pictures of DD's wedding in a frame, extra long thin barrels for my airwrap.

Best present was DS1 being my sous chef and the 4 of us sat down for a lovely family dinner and a fun game afterwards.

Lovely snuggly slipper socks from my DS. I actually think these might be my favourite present.

Copy of A Christmas Carol from DD, because I mentioned to her I fancied re-reading it.

New air pods and a gold necklace from DH.

Pretty earrings and a pair of coloured wine glasses from DM.

Bottle of whisky from the in-laws.

All in all I'm feeling very lucky and spoilt. Xmas Smile

ILoveAnOwl · 25/12/2021 17:48

Books, books, more books and a candle. Perfect?

Ijustwouldnt · 25/12/2021 17:54

Slippers, nice wine glass, pjs, purse, high Street voucher, some money.
Last month, Dh bought me a barbour coat and tablet as early presents. We're not in a position to buy new things like that at the moment so he got them secondhand. I love that he did this because it took patience, time and effort to find ones I would like.
I'm over the moon with my gifts.

Ijustwouldnt · 25/12/2021 17:56

@ILoveAnOwl lovely gifts Xmas Smile

Marchitectmummy · 25/12/2021 17:59

My favourites were Ultimate Ears speakers just what I wanted for my office, handmade licorice and a family trip to Japan.

This morning I got…
Tickets to see Kevin Bridges
Tickets for the Proclaimers
Tickets for the Commitments
Dubarry boots
Cosy PJ’s and socks
Pandora earrings to match the necklace I got last year
Charms for my Pandora that mean the world to me
A voucher for a spa day, a visit to The Surgeons Hall Museum and dinner and cocktails afterwards
Face creams that I’ve wanted for ages
Bath bombs
An oodie
Hat, scarf and gloves
4 books

When we got home from dinner DH sorted drinks while I put my PJ’s on. When we said cheers I noticed something at the bottom of my glass. It’s the most beautiful emerald and diamond ring that I’ve looked at for years, very simple but I love it.
