Any ‘woke’ Christmas presents then? ?

A woke gift example:

A CD of Fairytale of NY with the swears edited out "because you always play it at Christmad and this way we wont have to go NC with you for playing it in our company because its triggering"

Woke can also in some contexts mean someone who believes that any sort of critique of gender = transphobia and "literal violence"

"Woke" people are considered to be permanantly offended on behalf of people who never asked them to take up their cause.

In an example:
Person starts to tell a "paddy english man paddy irish man paddy scots man joke..
Non-Irish "Woke" person stops them and begins to "educate" them about why ita inappropriate to tell that kind of joke.
Actual real Irish person in the room who wanted to hear the joke might then inject: "not everyone in Ireland is Woke enough to care about all that PC stuff though to be honest".
Woke non Irish person then tries to educate the Irish person about their internalised anti-irish self xenophobia....
And so on.

I thought ‘woke’ kind of loosely transferred to ‘being aware’ in this case - of the environment. Am I wrong?

Yes.
"Get woke" means "educate yourself"
Which morphed into "woke" being an insult applied to people who are considered to be smug/patronising/dogmatic/etc about issues to do with politics etc

Whether its woke is more about the intention / message, than the gift itself.

Is it intended to educate you so you change your unwoke ways?

Or is it something they hope you like that happens to be second hand or eco friendly?

Oops - Bugger - meant ‘daughter’of course - predictive text.

Am I using the word ‘woke’ wrong? Ooh alliteration - I like it ha!

If I am I can’t keep up!

My example therefore was of our draughtiness gifting us a present that wasn’t wrapped up, didn’t contain glitter or plastic etc.

Why is it woke? I'm not entirely sue what that means tbh.

OP I’m confused. I fear you are misusing the word woke, or is there something about a trip to a forest housing “wild” monkeys not what it seems?

Didn't cross my mind that it was 'woke', but most of darling grandson's gifts were 2nd hand. Indoor climbing frame, from a closing down playgroup, balance bike and toy car garage and cars from the local charity shop. All wooden too. No plastic.

He doesn't know the difference between new and 2nd hand, plus we couldn't have afforded any of that stuff new, anyway.

Sorry let’s try again what’s a woke present ?

Hat a woke present ?

Trentham Gardens are fantastic.

Our presents from DS and family were wrapped in brown paper, no glitter or anything, and they didn’t buy crackers as they are full of tat. All fine by me, but I pointed out to DH hope they now always take their wine bottles to the bottle bank, (our local authority doesn’t collect glass), as that is something that seems to escape their ‘green’ outlook.

I took all the rubbish/wrappings home from our family Christmas to sort out because I knew I was the only one who could be trusted to recycle appropriately! My granddaugher's (3) favourite present from me was a stocking filler white board and pen which cost me £1 (I did buy other stuff). It just shows you don't need to buy happiness with expensive stuff.

We got a woke book about greening the land.
Unfortunately it was wrapped in unrecyclable paper?
I kept crunching it up but to no avail, it kept uncrunching?

Urmston- The premier inn at Trentham gardens is perfect if you are staying the night.

Ooh that’s good to hear Chewbacca .... must admit my husband’s face was a picture when he opened our card & voucher yesterday!
?
‘Underwhelmed’ is how I’d describe his initial response! I don’t think he likes ‘doing different’ it’s out of his comfort zone. It’ll do him good.

You'll love Monkey Forest @ Trentam Gardens Urmston, it's a fascinating day out. Loads to see and do at Trentahms Gardens themselves, especially the Italian Garden. Nice gift that!

Ha ha!

I don't know how well my 2nd hand presents went down with the DP but the kids liked them.

I was disappointed to see so many sequin stickerbooks, plastic toys and Disney rubbish being opened.

We had fun anyway!!

Enjoy your outing when it comes.
