After all the negative threads on AIBU feel free to share your happiness with gifts you gave or received
From me - DD loved her diamond earrings and a scarf I bought from a charity shop
DS happy with Fahrenheit eau de toilette and new trainers
I loved very nearly everything - top spot went to a new diamond ring and a bangle

Had some lovely earrings from my mum - she likes buying me jewellery but doesn't always get it right so that was a nice surprise. A pillow talk eyeshadow palette and some Aerin perfume. A great haul!

Tartifletti · 26/12/2022 08:57

DH got me a pair of cherry red boots with lightning bolts down the side - apparently DD (5.5) helped choose them. They're fab!

FuckingHateRats · 26/12/2022 09:54

My MIL got me a lovely set from M&S - lovely bath salts, pillow spray, hand wash and lotion. Will enjoy using them.

My style & beauty gifts:

I helped my Dad to buy me (as he wanted to get me something but didn't know what) Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2, Clinique Smart Repair Serum, & Lipsy pjs.

My Mum bought me a set of 3 Simply Be basics scoop neck black, white & grey T-shirts, & a pack of 2 Simply Be boyfriend T-shirts in apricot & burgundy. Also some Vaseline hand lotion.

My sister got me a pair of hammered sterling silver hoops, a pink cardi with pearl buttons from River Island, coral Superdry sliders & No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Night Cream.

SommerTen · 26/12/2022 10:19

I bought myself the Urban Decay Half Baked Eyeshadow Palette.

Hoppinggreen · 26/12/2022 10:20

My Mum bought me a beautiful and rather expensive throw for my new sofa.
DH bought me a lovely bracelet - my presents from him have got so much better since DD got old enough to to help him choose.
We got both kids super car driving experiences, which went down very well

IhearyouClemFandango · 26/12/2022 10:22

I got DD (12) some high top Vans with flames down the side which she is chuffed with.

I got a lovely eternity ring from DH which is delicate and beautiful and some Inky List bits from my sister.

HeyyyMrNoodle · 26/12/2022 10:24

I got the new Prada perfume which I'm very happy with! Got some other lovely things as well but they're not S&B ☺️

Off wider family I got some quite random things which makes me wonder whether they know me very well though...

RobotRumpus · 26/12/2022 10:26

My DD18 bought me a silver necklace I’d mentioned back in March that I loved - she has severe adhd so her remembering, and buying, and wrapping beautifully was a real achievement. I treated myself to my first pair of Doc Martens in 30 years, a gorgeous distressed brown leather, and my best friend gave me a great moisturiser with silver in it, Silver Lining. I’m very blessed.

MerylSqueak · 26/12/2022 10:31

I had some lovely presents. DH got me some simple, sparkly earrings in my favourite colour, stepmother got me a pendant pearl necklace. I also got a Christmas pudding onesie which I surprisingly love.

LapinR0se · 26/12/2022 10:32

I got a Celine luggage bag from DH for my new job. Am obsessed

petitebleu · 26/12/2022 10:36

DS bought me a set of Laura Mercier hand creams which smell gorgeous. This is his first year of grown up present buying with no input and he's surpassed himself.

CMOTDibbler · 26/12/2022 10:38

Dh bought me a beautiful Demellier bag, Shibumi scarf, and some earrings

yaflouloci · 26/12/2022 10:39

From my DH a pair of Dower & Hall earrings, a voucher for a Thai massage and the Nigel Slater Christmas chronicles book.

thesnailandthewhale · 26/12/2022 10:44

My aunt who has bought me a book token for the last 20 years (I rarely read books) surpassed herself this year with some Neom bath foam - totally unexpected and one of the nicest gifts I've ever had - I love relaxing in the bath but would never treat myself to something like that, made my day :)

lenalemonade · 26/12/2022 12:05

I am very happy DP got me my favourite Prada perfume and some Kitchen Aid bits to add to my already extensive collection😁
Then my DPs mum and dad got me some lovely Gins and glasses which will look great in my home cocktail bar .

GettingStuffed · 26/12/2022 12:15

I have a golf, going out handbag from DD. It caught my eye in tkmaxx and she nipped back and bought it and DH bought me a red leather handbag

GettingStuffed · 26/12/2022 12:16

Golf? Gold

lurchermummy · 26/12/2022 12:18

I got some Caudalie face cream, a thisworks sleep set, and some sweaty Betty leggings (I'm a bit fat for them though so they might have to go back). DD happy with her Charlotte Tilbury highlighter and DD2 with the Benefit eyeliner set.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 26/12/2022 15:17

OH bought me a Chanel lipstick, with help from daughter.
Daughter bought me a bracelet.

I'm delighted with both.

Crikeyalmighty · 26/12/2022 15:30

Lovely burgundy bravissimo bra and knickers set

Sparkly silvery M&S leggings and the combat effect ones

Boss orange perfume

Plus5 well chosen books

My H has his annoyances- but he's always been a great present buyer

NegroniLover · 26/12/2022 16:09

I got a huge bottle of Tom Ford perfume - very extravagant but I'm totally delighted. Dh did incredibly well this year

TattiePants · 26/12/2022 17:35

I finally got a Demellier Midi Venice bag which I’ve been coveting for ages from DH. @CMOTDibbler which one did you get. He also got me some Monika Vinader earrings and some Glossier You perfume although that hasn’t arrived yet. DM also bought me some white and yellow New Balance trainers.

troppibambini6 · 26/12/2022 17:48

I got
a rotate Sunday sweatshirt
Some malin and goetz perfume I love
Two pairs of cashmere socks
Some mini grey uggs
My favourite Chanel bronzer
A Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk set
A borg zip up jumper
Clinique take the day of balm

Those were my favourite things I think

CMOTDibbler · 26/12/2022 17:49

@TattiePants snap! And I am so pleased with it
