A very pretty fancy box with eff sod all in it  

I can't remember getting anything really crap, maybe not to my taste, but nothing nearly as bad as some of the things mentioned here...BUT, my sister, for her 25th, (silver,) wedding anniversary, was given a silver tea-pot from my aunt....Nothing wrong with that you may think, except it was a tea-pot for one!!! ....4 years later, when I was helping her sort stuff out, due to her moving, (after he'd pd off with another woman,) we decided that the aunt, (now dead,) may have had a premonition!

Oooh, spooky, Supes!  


I am crap at giving presents and crap at giving people ideas of what I'd like.
My wish list, this year, is a new front door mat, a pyrex jug and a new bra.


The worst gift I ever bought was one of those Red Letter Day gift vouchers for Mr Blizz's 40th (8 years ago). It was bloody expensive and has never been used. Give me shivers, when I think about it!

Blizzie!!

New Front Door Mat - NO!!!!   that is a gift to the house

Pyrex jug - NO!!!  that is a gift to the kitchen

New Bra - fair do's....   why don't you go all out & ask for matching knickers as well (best you pick them though...   something odd happens to men when they try to buy their wife knickers...  its either teeeny tiny (in style & size) slips of nothing...   or mega huge (in style & size) chin warming granny pants!)

LOL, you're definitely easily pleased Liking the 'Christmas' name btw, wonder where the idea for that came from?

a bloody foot spa

Some clever clogs came up with it!  



The trouble is, I'm not easily pleased. My mum still tries to buy me 'feminine' clothes. My inlaws may buy me clothes, but always leave the receipt in there.  I usually tell everyone to buy me a bottle of red wine, as I know that'll get some use!

see... I knew you could do better than a pyrex jug! 

 
My other aunt, (not the dead one!) often buys clothes as presents, but NEVER in the right size. She'll buy what she considers a 'bargain' in the sales, (usually something v nice tbf,) convinces herself that it's bigger or smaller than the size on the label ......so it NEVER fits. I do keep telling her that it's not a bargain if it doesn't fit, it's a bloody waste of money, but she pays no heed

I bought one of those for my dad once as he suffered from aching feet, he loved it and used it most days

 
Hey Ditty Read elsewhere that you've had your op'  Hope you're well soon

 I'd rather have stuff I need, than stuff I have to take back.



Mr Blizz's favourite job is buying 'ladies' underwear and he does quite a good job.
Sometimes, he lets me wear it.

Thank you Soops...  

It went a lot better than I expected... (though I was completely shitting bricks as I was 'wheeled' down to the op theatre.)  But all done now!   stitches should have dissolved by Sunday!    Still feel a bit wiped out... but nothing major.   In fact worst bit at the moment is not having washed my hair for 5 days!!!   I feel manky!!   (am gonna be naughty later & have a bath & hairwash...   1 1/2 days earlier than I am supposed to )

Make the most of being looked after Ditty

hahahaha.... I think I am coming to the end of the "being looked after" period..     though I have just found out we are having a takeaway for tea tonight !

They have some great little ones on ebay

At least your family and friends know what to get you

Sounds just the thing.. Hope its a quick recovery

Going out for a meal on my birthday with my (then) partner and having to pay half the bill. Trés romantique

I'm blonde sprout, i can only just manage too post

A  big fat nothing. That's what I got, nowt, zilch, nada. Gotta be the worst 'pressie'?

My birthday is in November and a couple of years ago I got a tooth abcess the week before my birthday. I didn't have a dentist and had to pay private fees for root canal treatment but didn't have the money so my then fella gave me £200 and said call it a birthday and xmas present.

Anyway a month later with tooth sorted I bought my xmas pressies on a very tight budget and managed to get the fella 6 or 7 bits and pieces that I knew he would like and dutifully wrapped them all up and placed them under the tree. Xmas day came and he opened them all and enthused and all that and then came my turn and..........nothing. He had actually meant it, getting my tooth fixed was indeed my birthday and xmas present. I didn't even get a token gift just for the joy of unwrapping something.

Don't get me wrong I was very very thankful for the money for my tooth but I couldn't help but be a little bit upset on xmas day and had a little cry to myself in the toilet.

We are no longer together.

A Budgie and I wanted a bike  my dad was p*ssed  I did get the bike later 

i did that this year, i didn't mind

awww poor skivey

 

Guess he won't be making an appearance in 'the most romantic gesture' thread Skive?!?

Lol noooooooo! He was actually a lovely man just really really crap at the whole 'consideration' thing that women are so good at. Plus he was Jewish and had never really done the whole xmas thing so I know he didn't realise how mortified I was. Still, it's nice to have something to open on xmas day, even if it's from the poundshop.

you should've lamped his gnashers out ski and said......'i'll pay for em to be fixed....happy valentines day'.......

All gifts gratefully received  

Oh yes  

thats got to be the worst on here an old leg cast with a face drawn on it
I may threaten my daughter with that if shes not good.
