What did you get for Christmas?

[Emilyjayne9421]

For those of us lucky enough to receive presents, did you get anything nice? We all rally around our kids as we should, but what about you.
I got 5 new books, 2 charms for my bracelet, a travel coffee mug, and a switch game I’ve been wanting for a while - yes I’m one of those 30 somethings who enjoys playing 😀what did you get?

My lovely step dad cleaned up and refilled (as well as left some of the old tools in) my mum's old blue metal tool box. Ex DH and i divorced this year and he took all the tools and useful things with him. Mum died nearly 4 years ago so the tool box is extra special, plus I now have my own screwdriver set, electric drill & hammer!
My step sis got me a quiver - i am severely sight impaired and use a white stick. I jokingly said once I wanted a holster or similar so I could go "hands free" when needed. Now I feel like daredevil!

I’ve been truly spoiled this year.

I had to but my own gifts and have the cash transferred I did not want to open them from under the tree though.

My husband was taken into hospital 6 weeks ago following a massive stroke. Therefore I was fairly present-less this year, but did receive a huge box of chocolates from my teen son, bought with his own money, which meant more to me than anything else would have.

A rain jacket and a book I already have. I appreciate the sentiment and effort that went into choosing the gifts so I am not complaining.

I’ve done very well

very nice gift set from Nuxe which I love

lush chocolate body wash gift set

2 fluffy animal style hot water bottles which I love

A really fabulous emerald and diamond cocktail ring, some fancy perfumes, a huge and fabulous bouquet of flowers, a couple of beauty treatments. I am very grateful!

I am owed a 2026 wall calendar as DH couldn't get the one I asked for (he did try), but that's fine. Very happy this year!

Im a bit overwhelmed with my gifts this year,ive been spoilt. i really didnt have any ideas to give anyone when ive been asked, just had a milestone birthday and i didnt want or need anything so ive had some lovely suprises this year. Im not going to list it all but some of my favourite gifts:
A special christmas bauble from a local place
Owala cat water bottle
Pjs with cats and books on plus cosy socks

And cash from parents, parents in law and dh.

Only DS to buy for me as parents no longer capable ... he did really well. Lots of great books, a bottle of Aber Falls marmalade gin (my absolute favourite), a purse and some snoopy bits.

I got a water flosser and a posh bath set. More than happy with my gifts

My older sister (aged 75) bought me a beautiful heart shaped jewellery box from Georg Jensen. It was a surprise, but so very much my taste - DH kindly bought exactly what I asked for. Perfect gifts
