I got silky underwear from MIL one year.

It said "Party" on the back ...

WTF?!!

PerkinWarbeck · 25/11/2008 14:01

body lotion
I get it every year. but I'm too lazy/hurried to apply the stuff. Even have some good quality Molton Brown stuff gathering dust, long after the matching shower gel has been finished.

Oh, and kitchen gear. I can see the logic:
MIL thinks "Perkin likes cooking so she love this infused oil/cheeseboard/cookie cutter set", whereas my either I already have the offending item, or I've not got one because it's not worth having [ungrateful emoticon].

Unlikely I know, but true.

Howzabout one fo those appalling 'experiences'? Sommething like driving around a windy track in a vaguely sporty car with some dull bloke called Graham who is only doing it because he wasn't good enough to race professionally?

Cheese sets.

Novelty kitchen items.

Chick lit books /DVDs

Candles

And what will evil SIL buy this year ? The low point so far was a bottle of dip (clearly containing gluten which I can't have) and a cheap and nasty candle. Or was it the giant perspex pepper grinder filled with an assortment of coloured peppercorns..

moondog · 25/11/2008 14:09

One of those homeopathy for childbirth kits would probably go down quite badly with me.
