Unusual ways to give presents.

I used to do jokey presents, years ago when the DC still lived at home. One year it was a dozen or so biscuits individually wrapped for my daughter who was always responsible for emptying th biscuit tin. Each was creatively wrapped to look like something else. Another year (back in the days when we all smoked ) I bought a dozen disposable lighters for m DH who always blamed everyone else when he lost his lighter. Again, all wrapped individually and disguised as something else.

Many years ago before we had children DH made me a 'pass the parcel' style present with little gifts in each layer ending in a pair of earrings.

rubylady that sounds fun. I have never done anything like that at Christmas, but when I and my friends were hitting 40, I used to make up joke parcels of things they might need in their old age: incontinence aids, bed socks, pension details etc. I am now in my 70s and feel very embarrassed by my cliched reaction to getting older.

p.s. It's not all he is getting, I wrapped a tent this morning for his festival next year!

Or, if he doesn't get into uni, it's his next home!
