If you're happy with your presents, what we're you given?

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

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.

Some crystal glasses (drinking not eye) from my best friend

A big box of my favourite biscuits from my aunt, addressed to just me! so DD won't eat all the best ones!

I was thoroughly spoilt
I got an all saints coat
Dm boots
Scamp and dude track-suit
Apple Watch
Cashmere hat and wrist warmers
Hush sweatshirt
Mike and eve bag
Lovely roll neck jumper
And some other lovely bits .. super lovely dh and kids 😍😍
Sorry but you did ask 🤣

2 coats (picked myself), carvela handbag, perfumes off 2 of my daughters (I always love getting perfume), white trainers with rose gold trim, suede joggers (nicer than they probably sound) and some Molton brown hand lotion - orange & bergamot my absolute favourite

Trainers I had eyed up a while ago, belt, handbag, Hot Chocolat liqueur… all great. My husband sneakily makes notes of what I’ve looked at during the year

Hot chocolate variety set
Hat (I've lost mine)
Gloves (2 pairs, smartphone enabled, one for each coat! Again always lose mine)
Snuggly blanket thing
Squeezy Marmite!! V pleased with this!
Selection box
Book
Laundry basket (was a joke present from DS3 as he causes so much washing and one of ours has broken, I'm always complaining about it)

Trainers that I asked for, a funky top, new cashmere gloves, posh chocolates, several books, puzzles, and little bits and bobs like socks and nice lip balms ☺️

I'm due a baby in the next few weeks, so to get a new fluffy dressing gown, pyjamas, slippers and loads of fancy bath and shower gels and lotions etc was much, much appreciated! It filled my toiletry 'treat' drawer, so should last me a year lol!

I also got some perfumes from parents and DB and a lovely Pandora ring from DH which I had hinted at (sent him a link one day haha).

I bought myself a new bottle of perfume and a good vanity mirror. Very happy with these.

An Apple Watch which I didn’t know I needed but I love it already. A gorgeous charm bracelet from my mum.

I’m super pleased with mine. Got books,
Pjs, stuff to watch, stuff for the bath and stuff to eat. I don’t normally ask for a main present, I love a random selection of things.

We’re having expensive custom built in wardrobes done first week of jan as our present to each other so we agreed no little gifts on the day between DH and me. He suprised me by sending the girls in with a little box though! Beautiful earrings, I want to wear them every single day now!!!

A lovely dress from Monsoon my hubby said he saw me touching weeks ago - he too, a cheeky photo then ordered it for me

A fab leather hobo bag and lovely lovely underwear from dp and a super gorgeous long cardigan from adult dd. Really chuffed, haven't taken the cardi off since unwrapping it.

I had mine from DH early this year. Ds moved out in august so we have a spare room for the first time. We still keep a double bed in there for infrequent visitors but i have monopolised it as an'entertainment' room. I have a leather recliner chair, bookcase full of books, table with kettle, tea,coffee etc and all the DVDs and Cds i have collected over the years. My present was a smart tv of my own so i can disappear upstairs and watch my soaps and other programmes in peace. I love having all my beautiful and familiar things in one place. It is a little haven!

@PickAChew oh wow that is so lovely to read! Are you local? I worked at Whiteley’s for around 10 years. I hope you enjoy your gift! X

I got a shark handheld hoover.

Sounds shit but I recently bought myself a new car and a new sofa and it's just what I wanted for cleaning them.

I also got a oodie, a set of brambly hedge books and some of that teddy bear fleece bedding.

Nice gifts.

I've started another thread purely to boast about my gift because I love it, so I'm happy to show it off again!

DH bought me this fabulous coat from British Retro. I LOVE IT.

@LadyFlumpalot that coat is beautiful- I used to have one similar and loved it.

@gunnersgold I wish I had your husband! What a fabulous haul!

A lovely la redoute bag I thought was too expensive. He got t shirt and books. We are on holiday as joint present. Total bliss

Spending the day with my mum and dad. I'm a big believer in creating moments not things. Today was a lovely day with my parents and esp with my mum so I'll remember this moment for a long time to come. That was the best gift.

I'm not local but I bought myself a pair of the lightweight glide shears when I needed some new scissors, a few months back and was so pleased with them that I decided I needed the whole set!

I'm a big fan of buying British made stuff where feasible. I bought dh some bits from Community Clothing for Christmas.

@PickAChew that’s fab! Im glad you like them. I am still close with the current directors and they’re really lovely people.
Another good one to check out is Jack Adams Ltd. One of the only Sheffield companies to still manufacture with Sheffield steel.
