I'm namechanging as I should be ashamed of myself.

I gave MIL some perfume which her Ex and Wife bought me a couple of years back.

I have not told dh.

Feel free to slap my wrists, I always recycle unwanted presents.

OS Map puzzle centred on her house. Weird maybe but DH reckoned she'd like it. She did apparently.

A pillar box red pashmina (she had hinted slightly, but I chose the colour) and a Josh Groban christmas CD she can meditate to.

Microbead travel pillow - you know, the really squidgy ones, Xmas log t-light holder (she loves that kind of Kleeneze crap.) My MIL is lovely, just old before her time.

A Christmas cactus. As she has everything else.
And she rang to say thank you - she's never done that before!

A Deal or No Deal Nintendo DS game, screen protectors & game case set and a Planet Earth 1000pc jigsaw puzzle. She's 75 and has just bought herself a Nintendo DS with Brain Training and The Simpsons games. She's ace!!!
