i dont knwo why people want perfume for christmas

[MeringueUtan]

how dull
do they not haev perfume all year?
do they onyl buy it once a year?

To some people I would think it would seem a pretty expensive thing to just go and buy throughout the year and it will be a treat for them to have it at christmas.

Dull to you maybe but not to them.

It's cos they smell, innit.

Or maybe to disguise the smell of sprouty farts in the house.

lol at sprouty farts

ok so what do you think is a dull gift then you guys?

I think of it as a luxury that I can live without. I wouldn't buy it for myself.

Sorry if I am poor and you find me dull.

anything bath related

a pen

pens are so dull

it is the crap present for people who work in offices

depends if you have lots and lots of money doesn't it?

If you can afford to buy expensive perfume all year round then it's hardly a treat to be given it at Christmas.

If you can't afford it, then it's obviously a treat and a nice gift to receive.

Common sense surely?

Speaking as a representative of poor people across the land, maybe it's because perfume (to some) is a luxury they don't buy the rest of the year

oh, to be rich enough to find perfume 'dull'

ooh no i like bath stuff
pens YES

i want perfume as a present so then i don't have to pay for it

the lush karma one, if anyone wants to buy me a present

I think you should re-name yourself OP to something with Marie-Antoinette in the title

"they have no bread? Then let them eat cake!"

"Do they not have perfume all year?"

And a dull gift would surely depend on the recipient?

A bid watching book is only interesting to a twitcher non?

We do not all have the same personality as you

Perhaps I could rename too

If I received anything by 'written' by Katie Price I would be very disappointed

I once got Ulrika's autobiog for Christmas, was devastated that the giver knew so little about me

Body lotion. That's a dull present. I have more body lotion than you can shake a greasy stick at, and I don't even use the stuff.

a book, mug or dvd about some sport that the person plays once a year

ie golf

I find I'm always wanting presents that everyone else thinks are too dull. Like scented candles, I bloody love (nice) scented candles. Nobody ever gives them, because they've become a kind of by word for 'I couldn't think what to get you.'

I'd like a nice pen too - very much indeed actually. And bath stuff. And perfume.

Lord. But it's all homemade this, and thoughtful that and 'brilliant find' at the market.

Body lotion - tick. Yes please.

I saw 4 soaps in the Sunday Times. Miller and someone. 35 quid. For soap. Dull AND eye-wateringly expensive.

I'd rather have the perfume.
