That's you sorted until same time next year then!


Got to ask... why a screwdriver?

The one pair of underpants guy, they could have at least thrown some washing powder in as a bonus.

Absolutely nothing.

We couldn't afford to buy presents for grown ups this year, so we opted out.

I'm perfectly happy with no presents, Christmas is for Children anyway, in our family.

Jr got loads.

I'm listening to the CD she gave me (Moseley Shoals - Ocean Colour Scene) whilst she is in her room watching her DVDs.

We will be getting ready in a while - our table is booked for 3.

ETA: She also got me (with help from her carer) some pretty emery boards and shower smellies (always useful).

Socks, a couple of t-shirts, a few deodorant/shower gel gift sets...basically, practical things. I do quite like opening presents, but as an adult I certainly don't mind peeling back the paper to find socks and such like.

Yes, it's nice just having something to unwrap - it's fun

Box of quality street between myself, dad and son. Spent a fortune on pressies for adults and kids. Weren't going to bother with presents as we are getting a new car on the 15th January but it didn't work out that way.

Smelly stuff for the bathroom per usual, a 2017 Guinness Book of records, a gift voucher for £ ? and some beer with its own big glass.

I wanted the Star Wars cross section books, but I'll get them for myself later. BUT the best gift is Dad is still with me, and that's the only present that really matters to me.

I didn't get too much but what I got I'm happy with.

The Hobbit trilogy (extended edition/3D) Blu-ray.
Bottle of Jack Daniels (70cl).
A ten bottle pack of lager.
Lynx set (bodyspray/bodywash) Black.
Chocolates.

I didn't want anything else really.

We've just had a new cooker, which I count as a family present because...

Excuse me I think you'll find all those presents are well known unisex items

OK I'll admit I'm a "typical woman" when it comes to gifts

I think the older you get the crappier the presents get. The most exciting thing I got was a burger press and I only got that as I picked it. The usual socks and underwear, oh and a set of screwdrivers can't forget them.
