I'm really chuffed with all my gifts, especially my necklace as the stone and setting in it matched my engagement ring perfectly. DH pretended this was deliberate (which I know it wasn't!) lol.

DP got me everything before Christmas - a new digibox with a hard drive, a phone and an MP4 player? Don't think I will be using the MP4 player - don't see the point of watching teeny music videos or whatever it is you are supposed to do with them.

Parents - a new overlocker as I destroooyed my old one (that was in the voice of Darth Vader)

DS - a tea strainer (green)

Bro - new waterproof coat - still in shop, I have to tell him which one I want and he has absolutely no patience, so thinks I should just point at the one I like and get the shop to put it in a bag without trying it on or any such trivia.

Rellies - lots of random stuff including chocolates and odd CDs

Still to see DP's folks, but imagine it will be vouchers - still have the vouchers from my birthday.

From DP - Lovely fluffy dressing gown

• Lush goodies
• My fav perfume
• Flowers
• Expensive chocs

From my sons - books and wine
