What did you get for Christmas?

[purplespink]

Hope it's okay to post this

DH got me:

Slippers
Art set

PlayStation game
DVD
Wash set

I asked for all of that bar the was set and very pleased with what I got

I bought myself (from DH); bottle of Lancome Miracle perfume, new purse and Boots beauty box. Some money from DM and ILs. Gift voucher, chocs and fizz from my friend (that I'm annoyed about because we weren't supposed to ve doing presents)

Overall very pleased, I hate receiving gifts. I had a beauty calendar too so have plenty of products to last a year or two.

Re your name- Someone once referred to 🧊 Ice as “water bones” - a great name!

Plain gold chain to replace one I lost
Ugg slippers
£200 gardening centre vouchers (£100 each from two seperate people)
Dressing gown
Pamper stuff
Stay at The Titanic, one of my favourite hotels and I love Liverpool.
Bouquet flowers
Another bouquet
Dressing gown.
All perfectly chosen. For me it's not the money it's the thought.
My parents died years ago. If I had one Christmas wish it would be to see them again.

Two candles (one from DH, one from DS). A picture I wanted. New trainers. A toy figure I mentioned I wanted from one of my favourite childhood cartoons. She Ra pyjamas.

Penguin cloth bound Oliver Twist and David Copperfield.
Serge Lutens perfume
Trinny eye and lip make up.
Bottle of gin

New phone from DP
Pjs and fluffy socks from DD
£50 from MIL
£50 from my dad
Bottle of wine, candle and a box of chocs from my best friend
Pretty happy with that

I'm absolutely delighted!

I hadn't expected anything but my adult children have all put things under the tree for me so quite excited!

Not opened them yet as waiting to open them as a family as my son is still at work until 4.

I have been very lucky.

Liberty pjs
A coffee machine
Cashmere jumper (so beautiful)
Lululemon set
Cryoglow mask
Moet
2025 diary and calendar
Belgian chocolates
Socks
A liberty advent calendar (obviously this was given beforehand)

and my favourite, a painting of dogs by dgd (aged 5)!

Nothing.

Sorry, that’s sad. 💐

Nothing for me either but I really don’t mind! When I was younger I loved getting presents but have hit the stage of life where I really don’t want or need anything and we spend on the dc instead. We will do something nice together this week as both have a rare few days off so that’s our gift to each other.

Nothing. No tree up. Not bothering at all this year .

An antique art deco sapphire ring from DH (I did choose it myself, my taste in jewellery is very specific, and it's beautiful)
A mini screwdriver set
My favourite chocolates
Three books, two I'd asked for and one interesting surprise
A cute mug
A small, antique wooden duck chosen by DS, I adore it
Perfume sample set

I'm very happy.

I got a wonderful book on seabirds from Dp that I can't wait to read plus a cocktail making kit, a book on non alcoholic cocktails and another sensor for my weather station

Adult Ds bought me a book on steam train accidents and a Japanese hand rake

Adult Dd bought me a hand hoe and some seeds and a garden bag to carry all my shit around

Adult step dd knitted me a woolly hat which I love, adult step ds bought me some coffee beans for my new machine

@OldEarAche which book is it? Sounds interesting.

@AnarchismUK what's do you like so much about the Titanic Liverpool? Just curious, I'm always on the lookout for new places.

I have a little peanut cooking ... Nobody knows just yet.

Gifts can be split into 2 categories books, and t-shirts either long or short sleeved. Including some rugby themed ones for rugby trip to Italy in February.

DSis broke the mould and gave me bath stuff

I've been very lucky this year.

2 pairs of trainers
Socks
Hoodie
Leggings
Underwear set.
Perfume
Candle
Hair brush.
New bag.

MIL has given me a scarf, beanie, glove set in bright purple.
What colour does MIL love- Purple
What colour do I hate and don't wear- Purple!

Nothing. I told my mother I'd send her presents to the charity shop (she's toxic and I haven't spoken to her all year), as she said she'd drive them to a Wetherspoons near me so I could pick them up from there, like it's a parcel depot. Fuck that. fuck off. But nobody else has got me anything.

I was very spoiled. Got a Mr Jones watch, a kindle, some medik8 skincare and art from my boyfriend. A huge beauty box from his parents plus a lovely lush set from his sibling. A hand painted bird house, bag charms and some lovely Christmas village bits from my family and a nice yankee candle set from my boyfriend's aunt and uncle

It's this one here

A coat from One Hundred Stars
