Best Christmas gift you have received this year

Some really nice gifts you have received 🙂

Husband and I only get two presents - one from daughter, one from son. This year, I mentioned to my daughter that I could do with a new mug as 'winter had finally come' for my old Game of Thrones one. Well, she got me a new one with my favourite rock band on it, which absolutely made my day! Sounds such a simple thing, but I knew she'd known I would love it and that's what meant the most.

Wow some lovely gifts especially wonderful to spend the day with grandchildren. I throughly enjoyed the day with my granddaughter.

Amazingly my daughter won the Wimbledon ticket draw and my present is her taking me on 2nd Monday number one court. I can’t wait until June and never imagined I go again. My last visit was some 50 years ago!

Spending the day with my darling younger sister and her family, precious and priceless.

No gifts can compare to time spent with family, we toasted our parents who are no longer with us, and the children who never met them love hearing about them. 🩷💙

The presence of my children , their spouses and my grandchildren . We don’t often get all together. Wonderful

A framed picture drawn specially for me with love grandma and a drawing from DGD 2.

Most of all, The love and care involved in putting the box of pressies together from them all.

A light box thing to help counter depression in the winter.
And some lovely flamingo cushions.

Also, a beautiful calendar with paintings of Venice by Canaletto from someone who has picked up on my obsession with Venice.

Spending the day with my family. Son in law cooking a great Christmas lunch, watching my four young grandchildren opening gfts. Watching sons in law and paternal grandfather trying to get the small drone I gave to the youngest - down from the kitchen roof. Priceless

I got some velvety PJs from Asda. I’m really popular with ASC grandson who keeps stroking me.

Apple Watch - now I’ll know if I have atrial fibrillation. All my life I have wanted to know that hehe.

It will also remind you to stand regularly and breathe at regular intervals, in case you’ve forgotten to do either of those things.

A new cabin suitcase. Mine broke in the summer. I don’t go away very often, but having a ginormous case for an overnight stay is rather OTT!

2 vouchers for my local beauty salon. Although I can well afford to have beauty treatments, it feels so decadent to spend money on myself in that way, that I never do. I can now have my nails done/massages guilt free!

A bottle of wine and a gift card from our granddaughter now that she is earning. Bless her.

Not me, but DH got a heartfelt hug from DGC who is autistic and only ever tolerates a hug from mum. We got thoughtful and appreciated presents but that was priceless.

A heated throw. I’m so cozy!

A silver elephant ring. I love elephants,.

A voucher for a symphony concert and a dupe Chanel which seems as good if not better than the real thing!

I also received a hamper of goodies from DD, but contained in a lovely carved wooden box in which I can keep to hand notebooks and poetry books that are usually stacked on the sofa beside me.

A shopping bag on wheels as we have a new community shop in the village and it will encourage me to walk there.

It wasn't even an official Christmas present, but my friend had treated herself to the Liberty Advent Calendar (£275!") and gave been a very nice skin cream and a beautiful perfume. Just nice to have an unexpected bit of luxury.

A hamper of goodies from DD, so thoughtful. There are firelighters, cheese, soap, chutney, honey and a fancy gadget for opening bottles. I'm delighted.

I agree Bridie. I had lots of nice things, but the gift that I will use most is a stocking filler - a big leather tassel keyring from my daughter, in bright pink. I’m always struggling to find my keys in my handbag, and therefore I know that I will appreciate it every day.

A voucher to have afternoon tea at the Tower ballroom in Blackpool. As a big Strictly fan I’m thrilled for this.
