This is a light-hearted thread, but I was wondering if you’ve got wind of any unusual or ‘boring’ gift choices from grandparents yet or perhaps something you got as a child? One grandparent always bought all the grandchildren a jumper and socks when I was little! I do remember it fondly now though wasn’t too excited at the time.
I’m probably unreasonably tickled by what my mother has bought the DC this year!
She’s bought all DC a microwave hot water bottle and a bar of floral scented soap. They’ve had funky looking soaps in their stocking before which was fun, but I’m not entirely sure they’ll care too much about one that looks like a standard bar of soap that we usually have in a packet of in the bathroom cupboard. A bath bomb, sure - fun gift but a bar of soap that looks like any other? 😂
Maybe I’m just overly amused by this as a gift choice and it’s a perfectly normal Christmas gift.
I just want to say again this is lighthearted, my children will absolutely write a thank you note and will use the soap. I’m entirely confident it was a lovely thought. They do like sniffing flowers.
