I did but I'm going to change them if I can. Loads of bath stuff for one thing...bath salts, oils, etc... and I always take a shower!
A top that doesn't fit me and a jumper that makes me look awful.

How about you?... Did you like all your pressies?

We don't go in for pressies much. As a joke I ordered an Arsenal Face Flannel for Trevor - they sent a Chelsea one....I ordered a CD for him - it hasn't arrived...and he saw a watch he liked in a magazine - that did arrive and it is total c**p!

I did receive some Amazon vouchers though - haven't spent them.....yet!

Got bath stuff which is always welcome, lots of chocs which will probably be eaten by Davy got everything else wanted though so no complaints.

As a family we decided weeks ago just to do a secret Santa which we complied with,only to find yesterday that we had piles of pressies waiting....was our faces red :oops:

I did quite well - one daughter gave me a lovely silver heart shaped pendant studded with cabochon stones in pearly pastel colours and my other daughter and her husband gave me two books (Undertow by Sue Grafton and Lost Symbol by Dan Brown) and a good sized canvas bag. Kelly's cats gave me a bar of organic chocklit. :mrgreen:

Don't start The Lost Symbol 'til you have plenty of time Lacey, it's unputdownable

I know what you mean deja - I just looked at the first page when I opened the present and finished the book in bed that night ..... :magnify:

Got loads of gift vouchers. A bottle of my favourite perfume Paris. New lounging jammies and a bath gift set. Bill bought me a lap top, and little Amelie insisted that she bought Nana and Papa some Matey bubble bath. Ha ha and we only have showers in our house.

I've had some really nice presents - and two really useless ones

One is a small M&S teapot, which is about as big as a mug. A really diddy mug sits on top of it and I really can't see me (or anyone for that matter) using it.

I was also given a grow your own Scots Pine kit. :shock:

You might be glad of the grow your own tree once global warming gathers momentum Monicka :sunglasses:

One year I had a potato masher. One where you put the potato in a small round pot and squeeze it through with a squeezer attached to it. Soo fiddly. I never use it.

Four lots oof hand lotion! I still have two untouched from last Christmas.

I gather up all the things I don't use and give them to Women's Aid for the goody bag each woman gets when going into refuge - they don't go to waste as many women have to cut and run with very little time and space for pampering products.

There are always useless gifts, aren't there? My "kids" are getting better at finding things I might really like ... only took 'em 40-50 years! :rolleye11:
