radfordred 6,284 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Me & Mrs Red had a new TV for Christmas think she got the remote ? Socks with Dad on them x 3. 2 books Dark Heart by Nick Davis " the shocking truth about hidden Britain " and a digital field guide. Joop! aftershave. 1lt Bells / 1.5lts Baileys / Bottle Jameson's / Bottle Jim Beam White / Bottle Jack Daniels. Camera bag. Plus An WiFi 30GB Portable Media Player 4.3" Touch Screen , which proved to be an amazing gadget until an unresolvable error combined with the above spirits resulted in the horrible thing finding itself embedded in my living room wall, very satisfying.

Jill Sparrow 10,398 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 The best present possible...we've managed to rescue a young female cat from a breeder who treated her appallingly. 8 litters in the last 2 or 3 years. She's thin as a shoelace, tatty, covered in fleas and matted up...but she's free now and there will be no more kittens, just good food, tlc and a happy life ahead. That is worth more to me than the crown jewels! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,617 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 We had several boxes of chocs and biscuits, but people made the mistake of giving them to us early last week.... We decided we didn't want too many on Christmas Day, so we opened them - one each day or so - and most have already been eaten! Paul and I don't give each other presents - we have all we need or want - and if we do need new clothes or anything else during the year, we just go out and get them. It sounds a bit boring, I know, but it suits us. I love Christmas Day, though, as once the dinner's been sorted, I don't have to do anything else. One of the funniest presents was a box of shortbread from an older person who had obviously forgotten that they'd already been opened! Half-gone in fact (perhaps some would say that it described the person who gave it to us, but that would be very unkind - it's the thought that counts) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,539 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 We don't bother with Christmas presents for each other either Margie, we bought something for each other while we were out yesterday, token pressies so to speak. We don't NEED anything but if we do we'll go and buy it. Our kids are just as difficult to buy for nowadays. I don't have trouble buying gifts for the grandchildren though. It's not important to us to receive presents, the important thing is that others are happy. Our two sons are the other side of the World on holiday at this time, something I'm sad about but they've both Facetimed us today and to see them having a lovely time makes us very happy. We had a Christmas meal with them all before they jetted off, that was our special day. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Likewise Lizzie!..what i want ..they couldn't buy it. Gave the kids 500 sovs each..they can hit the sales. To be honest I always prefer to give gifts than receive. Have a good day all of you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 My lovely daughter has given me (amongst other things) four coasters : No. 1 says "Yerwott?" No. 2 : "Utch up!" No.3 : "Tea's gone coad!" and No. 4 : "Gerrit dahn yuh!" I wonder what city she could have bought them from?! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well Ian ! I thought you were the man who had everything. If they can't buy it, then you don't need it. I'm sure your kids would get anything you need, just as mine would for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,273 Posted December 25, 2016 Report Share Posted December 25, 2016 I bought my son a copy of Kenneth Clarke's autobiography as they both went to the same school and he read law and politics at university. You'll never guess what he bought me!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
