Mine was a plastic box from Poundland . The sort that has lots of little sections for sorting screws and a tight fitting lid. My husband made a special trip out to buy it for me after I had told him I had just seen a tip about using one as a paint palette.

Hearing how delighted my grandson in America is with our present. A year's worth of activities at their local Sports Center, which caters for children who have difficulty in socialising.

My five year old grandson's first ever school tea towel, with all his class's hilarious self portraits. Priceless!

My daughter presented us with a beautiful baby boy in October, our first grandchild, there is nothing that can beat that.

A whole week of being spoilt by my family but a big surprise was DS1 and family's present of a 7" tablet which is proving to be great fun and a terrible time-waster.
