Mr P excelled himself two years ago. I'm sure you can only imagine my delight as I sat up in bed on Christmas morning and eagerly ripped the paper off a beautifully wrapped toilet seat.

What a generous and thoughtful young man! The present that rendered me speechless was a few years ago, our eldest son gave me an inflatable husband, and hubby an inflatable wife!! They`re still in their boxes on top of the wardrobe.

This evening I was wrapping gifts when I got a phone call from my Chinese 'son' asking for help with a small matter. After discussing this problem he then broached the matter of Christmas presents; I was rendered speechless when he told me that he's bought me a gift for Christmas that he thought I ought to know about in case another family member is planning to buy me an i-Pad!! I literally couldn't speak for about 20 seconds. He's bought me an i-Pad for Christmas. grin [jump up and down emoticon] shock

What gift - good or otherwise - has left you speechless?
