Most thoughtful or apt gift you received this Christmas

I special snowman card made by my grandson. He is 2 1/2 and had stuck pieces of tissue paper on a few bits each day as he got bored doing it all at once.

I got a beautiful vintage tea set in a gorgeous old basket....I was thrilled but my 88 year old mother was disgusted by it.....funny how the different generations feel about old things.

My children bought me a voucher for the beauty salon. Time for a retread!

That’s lovely Watermeadow ?

My DD1 commissioned a portrait of my beloved dog from a friend who was at art college with her and is now a professional artist.
DD4 works for a posh picture framer and got it beautifully framed.
It’s unbelievably my very dog, looking at me from the wall and lying beside me too.
Beloved dog is getting old and this picture can only become more precious with time.

a book about the making of Outlander and a pair of Jacobean wine glasses,been after those for years.I'm still dancing with excitement about them .

My Darling Sister has given me the most gorgeous gift of a mirrored frame with a personalised Sister poem on it. I cried when I opened it. ?
Also, ( can I have 2 please?)
My Partner David has gifted me the chance to walk an Alpaca in Norfolk. I adore these creatures, and to be able to take one out on a halter for "walkies' is a like dream come true for me.
Happy Days.?

My DH bought me two tickets to see the ballet Swan Lake at our local theatre. It is a great sacrifice as he has no interest in ballet whatsoever.x

Our DD gave us the money for a car park season ticket for the beach DGS loves and we go to almost weekly in the season.
Brilliant. We have strict instructions that we only want things that will go down the drain or we don’t have to dust or find room for. This fits the bill perfectly.

My DD gave me a beautiful wrap more glamourous than I would normally buy for myself. After a sad year with my DH's (her step father) depression it made me feel worthy and feminine again.

My eldest dd bought me pandora earrings in the shape of the eternity symbol which I absolutely love. My youngest dd bought me a kitten charm for my bracelet. I also got a plaque that’s says the best mums get promoted to nanny. I have been thoroughly spoiled by my girls this year. I am a very lucky lady

A photo in a frame, the photo taken at home with a selfie stick, of my whole family, including the dog. Fantastic.

My daughter found a magnetic dog lead on line, totally brilliant for when my hands stop working either through cold or arthritis. I can recommend it!

My father died 4 years ago and my daughter made me Xmas tree balls out of a favourite knitted cardigan that belonged to dad and which weirdly had a most appropriate pattern on it .

It might sound a tacky idea to some but I love them for obvious reasons and they take pride of place on our tree every year now.

Little things can mean the most !

Our daughter lives in Perth btw

Two clocks , one Australia time made from photo I took myself at sunrise in Perth and wooden one my husband made at English time, love them

Like you Mollie, other than my two aunts "The only gifts I got I had to buy myself" as my immediate family decided no gifts this year! My lovely aunts, one in her mid- 90s and the other is 89 next year gave me amazing gifts though - A Clairol pack of make-up and a special thingy to put your credit cards in so no-one can swipe them! And a lovely warm throw in shades of greys, pinks and whites!
I don't do "no gifts" so I treated my youngest to a Christmas Demo Lunch which I thought was fabulous (I went too!) And they used the recipe for roast potatoes successfully on Christmas Day... They said it had been a great idea so may try that again, as it was great to spend the day with them too!

My favourite gift, although I was given other lovely ones, was a handmade voucher from DH. It's for a trip around some country roads that we pass often but have never been down.

He fulfilled it yesterday followed by afternoon tea at a nearby township (country village). It was a lovely and thoughtful gift and we had a really enjoyable afternoon exploring the countryside.

A Christmas stocking with a personalised gift from each DD, SIL and each GC. Each gift reflected the giver (a pre-mixed gin and tonic from SIL ). Absolutely perfect and it brought much happiness!

Beautiful

My DH always struggles to choose something for me so depends on DDs to decide what I would like. However, he was delighted with himself this year - asked me to buy myself an Ancestry DNA kit. He didn’t know that he could’ve ordered it and surprised me with it on Xmas day. However, I’m not complaining!!!

3m of linen fabric and patterns for trousers and top. Thoughtful friend who knows I love to create

I got a Willow Tree grandmother and granddaughter figure from DH. He had seen me admiring it before Christmas.
My DS and DIL gave us a calendar with photos of a smiling DGD for each month.
I get quite emotional looking at them.

I got a second hand teapot that obviously came from a charity shop. The giver is what made it very special to me and the circumstances in which he gave it. Brought a tear to my eye.

They're lovely presents, Hurdy. Hope you have a lovely time, when it comes around.
