Candle set, retinol cream, every single book on my wish list, pyjamas, knee compression straps although he gave me those early as I've been struggling with pain and weakness lately and a couple of puzzle games.

I got him a new dressing gown, playstation 5 Pro and a couple of games & biscuits.
I feel bad every year because he wants games and I'm happy to get him then but as it's a digital item he buys through his account I can't actually wrap anything and it's never a suprise, he's happy though which is what matters.

Got a little book of affirmations that’s so cute, a skincare set and feel good and a book voucher and a lantern that’s so pretty

Chanel perfume and hair mist, mama necklace, voucher for boots, voucher for local swimming pool

From DH eight books that I suggested, my complete wish list so I am very happy. Other than that lots of nice chocolate and a replacement for a sentimental item that I lost when my bag was snatched overseas a few months back which was really thoughtful.

DD bought me some beautiful silver earrings, DS2 my favourite scented candle which he knows I rarely buy for myself as it is expensive, DS1 and DIL a voucher for DH and I for dinner at a nice restaurant. I did well 😊

This + PJs. We tend not to buy for each other as we just get what we want throughout the year, plus we did a big building project this year and still need to buy sofa + chairs, but I'm definitely happy about receiving this 😊

What did you get for Christmas?
Itsaswelltime · 25/12/2024 10:36

We agreed no presents this Christmas (after I got no present for my birthday in December and was told we don’t have any money which is true, we don’t). However DH surprised me with a hideous biscuit tin of fake flowers and glitter sprayed pine cones that he bought yesterday for a shockingly expensive price. Surprised is the word.

I don’t know whether we can return it when the shop re-opens after Christmas (presumably the item will be on sale by then so we’d be refunded a reduced price, at best) and DH will be gutted if I ask to do that although he can’t have not noticed my baffled and very unenthusiastic reaction when I opened it.

I4gotmyname · 25/12/2024 10:39

Dd got me a new phone , ds got me warm slipper socks and night fleece, hoodie. Other ds got me oscare wilde qoute.

KurtCobainLover · 25/12/2024 10:40

The DC bought me a jumper and some wool which I love. It’s the first time they’ve bought me presents and I was touched by how thoughtful they were.

I still get Christmas money from my parents so I got myself a kindle and an Oodie coat.

Purplepeoniesdroppingpetals · 25/12/2024 10:43

Lovely slippers (that fit! There was some agonising), chocolates, some perfume that I love, socks and a diffuser oil. New Christmas in our new house and everyone seems happy. Older son is with his girlfriend’s family (first time he’s away) so am missing him but they’ve FaceTimed. All is well. Hope that you all have a lovely day and don’t get noro.

Thank you ! I hope DH has the receipt. He would have paid by card so I hope that would be OK proof if necessary? It’s essentially a Christmas decoration from the florist so I am worried they might not allow a refund after Christmas and think we have been just using it to decorate our (totally unfestive, guess -free) home for a couple of days.

So far, some slippers that have been on my list for years, and some adidas gazelles which have been on my list for about one year 😄 well done DH.

We’re opening a couple of presents each every 90 mins to allow for some playing in between so I have a pressie or 2 left to go!

Skin care items I had ordered on Amazon Prime day back in October and gave to DH to give to me. Still a semi surprise as I’d forgotten most of it! A pair of Adidas OGs n red and pink. A Lego Christmas Tree to add to my Lego Christmas collection.

Gin and books from DS.

@UpTheMagicChristmasTree - I would have loved the Home Alone House. I did drop some hints!

Congratulations @Boredmum24! How lovely.

CeCe45 · 25/12/2024 11:08

I love hearing what everyone got. I got pyjamas, Jo Malone candle, perfume, Dyson hairdryer, a book I wanted and a wonderful surprise of a YSL handbag I had my eye on but didn’t expect to get.
