A question about : Best present?

My birthday is close to christmas so already had some gifts but my best present so far has to be my ugg slippers! So cozy. Feel free to tell me the worst present but I have to say I've loved all mine so far. We open presents Christmas morning. I know christmas is about other things besides presents...however it is piece in the puzzle though and usually a nice part to talk about!

Best answers:

  • Well, I have to say firstly Happy Birthday! Mine was the other day and my best present was that i'd been left some inheritance money from my beloved Nan who passed away in January. It just came through on 17th and so I bought myself a Digital Piano from her for my birthday & had it delivered on the day.
    For Xmas, i'm pretending I haven't opened them yet
  • I got a new watch which I love and marc Jacobs dot perfume gift set xxx
  • A pink Asus touchscreen notebook to replace my knackered old brick of a lappy
  • My best present has been to myself as I receive very little from other people as most of my family has died as well as my closest friend. I bought myself some mystery packs of craft stuff & I've been over the moon with the contents.
  • I got a pair of sheepskin gloves by totes, I love them. A emoji mains electric power foot file, a lovely costume jewellery matching bracelet & ring (very bling) & a calendar for 2015 of my beautiful grandchildren.
    My boss had given me a basket with xmas socks, chocolate, wine, bath bomb & beauty bits.
    Another colleague got me a bottle of champers!!
    I love them all!!
  • My oh and I said we would only spend Ј50 on each other. I stuck to it but my oh didn't, he bought me a canon camera I had my eyes on.
  • It's not one of mine but my sil bought OH a pineapple corer & slicer and an pith slicer.. haven't laughed so much in ages!! (I'm allergic to pineapple!)
  • My OH bought me an iPad mini
  • my OH bought me a digital piano (second hand on eBay, we looked out for the right one for ages and picked it up a few weeks ago), looking forward to playing it, I had lessons many years ago but very rusty ATM. I also loved some hand-made felt tree decs my friend made me, I love that she spent time making them for me.
  • My best ones (and almost only ones) were a new gaming mouse and the game Far Cry 4
    Needless to say, I'd chosen them before Christmas, but still......
  • My best gift was a beautiful China polar bear ornament (I'm polar bear mad) from dh, and my polar bear Pandora bead from my dds.
    Oh, and Dave the talking minion, he was actually dd2's gift, but he has became a firm fav with the whole family!
  • From the three friends and family who believed me when I said the thing I really wanted this year was for them not to spend money on books for me (the only present that is an 'always sure fire winner'!), but instead donate that amount to a charity which provides books for children in one of the most violent parts of the world, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I am lucky enough right now to have everything I need and want, so this year, my contribution will be to do without new books, and instead use our brilliant local library more, as well as getting good ones from car boots, jumble sales etc. Every time I get a book at low or no-cost next year, I'll donate the equivalent to these little chaps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XVt4ELNIB8
  • I got a new screwdriver with attachments, a lovely green rabbit from charlie bears and a tealight floral ornament thing that i really like.
  • My best pressants this year are my x2 grandbabies. A boy and a girl.
    x2 families.
    I have spent many hours knitting baby cardigans so it is lovely to see them now given out @ Christmas.
  • I only have one person in the world with whom I exchange gifts.
    He was going to buy me an ipad Air and ordered it from Amazon. After many phone calls and emails Amazon finally admitted they had ***** his order and it had never left the Warehouse.
    He rushed out and bought me a big bottle of my favourite perfume which cost an arm and a leg.
    Still haven't got the new ipad as I told him to spend the money on a major service/MOT/titivation of his pride and joy - his 10 year old Lexus
  • My best Christmas present was a usb stick containing hundred of photographs of me and my brothers. .... taken by my parents/grandparents (most of which I had never seen before). My mum had spent months scanning them into the computer from boxes in the loft.
