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?

It has silicone ‘wounds’ on a sheet for you to practice on again and again 🤣

😆😆😆 Oh my God, what a deliciously weird gift for a non-medic!

so many wonderful things!
I got two Taylor Swift vinyls, some American treats and hand gel and hand cream from dd who has recently visited New York, a new diamond ring from dh to replace my engagement ring which lost its diamond this year, a Disneyland exclusive Pandora charm, more l’occitane hand cream from parents (I use a lot of hand cream so I’m always happy to receive!) along with US dollars for our holiday there next year, tickets for Take That gig from dsis, lots of chocolate. Honestly I have been wonderfully spoilt

I got a selection of jams/chutneys from an artisan cook near my DD’s uni. My son gave me his time and labour by steam cleaning the stairs and my office (elderly dog with certain digestive issues)! I usually get presents from my sisters but they live abroad so I said to hold off till I see them at Easter.

Dh got me an advent calendar for December so didn’t think that I would want anything yesterday.

Dd gave me a photo of dgc which was really lovely.

Both (adult) DS forgot.

My parents and siblings don’t send gifts (I do because I love the choosing and sending gifts).

I think I must have been naughty this year.

😳

I'd be putting DH on the naughty list for that poor effort.

I got a full body bath pillow, I’ll use that tomorrow. I’m too bony in the wrong places to find baths comfortable but the heat helps my various physical health issues. I’m very hopeful for a comfortable bath for the first time in a very long time!

I didn't know such a thing existed. I'm looking into it tomorrow because heat helps my shoulder and knee but I feel uncomfortable in the bath.

@Missj25 he is!
I was really touched with his efforts because he thought about what I liked and what might be useful and then other more indulgent alongside the practical things.
We don’t ask for things from each other - some years have had more misses than hits but we always have a laugh when one of us has chosen something inadvertently terrible 😂

I’m heading to bed now after a few drinks with a friend .
I’m single & shit sick of it , just can’t meet my person 🤷🏻‍♀️.
I read all the posts on this thread ,( yours just stuck out to me ) , & when I read yours I thought he sounds like such a thoughtful kind person , your husband, & I hope I meet someone like that .
50 now , separated 10 years.
I’ve gone way off topic , apologies 🙈 , a few too many I think 😂
Enjoy your few days away in January PP X
