This evening I was wrapping gifts when I got a phone call from my Chinese 'son' asking for help with a small matter. After discussing this problem he then broached the matter of Christmas presents; I was rendered speechless when he told me that he's bought me a gift for Christmas that he thought I ought to know about in case another family member is planning to buy me an i-Pad!! I literally couldn't speak for about 20 seconds. He's bought me an i-Pad for Christmas. grin [jump up and down emoticon] shock

What gift - good or otherwise - has left you speechless?

My ex, for our first Christmas together gave me an 'ornamental' carving set, Indian style, bought in some tourist shop in Nairobi. Need I say that it was one of the first things to go to the charity shop when he left.

I have been given a frying pan at Christmas, especially when DH was getting sick of his bacon sticking. I have got round the problem by insisting on no presents now. This week I popped into John Lewis and bought myself some Origins face cream, got what I really wanted smile
