Your best present?

[schneebly]

DH and I had a pact to spend only £10 on each other and one of his gifts to me was a photo frame - one of those ones that has space for 3 pictures side by side. He had put in pics on DS1, DS2 and, in the middle, us at our wedding. He typed at the top "You are our everything". At the bottom he wrote "The reason we smile, the reason we laugh, the reason we share, the reason we get up in the morning, the reason we care. Unconditional love from your 3 boys"

Sob

That makes up for his miserly antics the other day

oh jeez, how to make a girl fill up..sob!
how lovely, hope you have a great day

don't know yet - haven't opened anything!!

has to be the huge tin of Celebration Chocolates from my vicar, the only one of the 2 presents I got that I know was given with sincerity. The other was a gift box/hamper thing from my parents, indentical to the one they gave us last year

which I meant to add mostly contains stuff I don't even like/use (proper coffee - no coffee machine, chocolate covered nuts, tea - don't drink tea etc etc).

That's lovely Schneebly.

My best present was a scrapbook that a friend said she would do when ds1 was born 3 years ago.
I opened it last night and it had me in tears almost immediately

mine were my netbook and my entire James Bond collection on dvd!

A little wooden carving of 2 cats on a sofa that dd found at the school secret present stall and series 1 dvd of Outnumbered that dh bought me I love both because they were thoughtful things that really say that they pay attention to what I like

Oh schneebly - that is lovely; how fab of your DH, Brought lump to my throat!

DH bought me a beautiful gold and diamond eternity ring. It is 12 years since he asked me to marry him too (IIRR). It is perfect.

I got do many cool thinkgs this year, i got an awesome Cry Baby t-shirt from the film as dp knows its my favorite film.

I got a Bedlam cube puzzle thats driving me bananas in a good way!

The last two books to complete my Jamie Oliver collection and SO MUCH LUSH!!!!!!!!

I am a lucky girl.

Perfume from dh - fantastic especially as i wasn't expecting anything and it was one that i mentioned liking weeks ago GEUNINELY not as a hint

A lovely necklace 'from the children' - Dh pulled a blinder!

A cd of some of my favourite songs from our last 20 years together for my car. Dh chose the songs, ds burned the disk. Cost nothing except a blank cd and lots of thought and love.

DH made a special trip to a book signing to have my copy of the latest book inscribed with a personal message. And he took a mate along to take photos of the author signing the book for me. I was blown away - not by the book itself, but by the care DH put into making it special to me. Lucky, lucky me.

My best gift this Christmas has been the generosity of people I had/have never met that gave gifts for my Dc's. My 'gift' has made my children smile and cry with happiness and I'll never ever receive such a wonderful gift than that memory. Thank you!

i got a lovely locket and some other jewellery but really wanted the locket to keep a pic of the kids and dh close to my heart

aww nice to read some lovely mushy posts

Charlee - I LOVE Cry Baby too! Though I was the only one

A happy and peaceful, stressless Christmas day with no raised voices.

My 3 faves were my Radley bag from my nmum, my Take That album from my bnrother and my fob watch for work from the kids. The last one had be stunned for a bit as xp actually chose it and he was always crap with gifts when we were together.

Leather gloves and some Molton Brown perfume. Both lovely!

heart rate monitor and some fab baggy cycling shorts from dh.today i learned that a spin session at the gym burns 600 calories in 45 mibs. and my heart beats at 190bpm.

I hope that your heart beats at that rate during your spin session and not at rest littlemisschatalot.

How nice to see a thread for once about presents someone likes. Had been thinking present giving should be banned altogether!

My best presents were new snow tyres for my car! Sounds boring but it now means I can get around my region in my car with no issues (I live in New England and we get ALOT of snow from now til March!) otherwise I would be housebound and going insane!

DH got me my own pink laptop - i love it!
