What was your favourite present ?

Regalo, what a wonderful Christmas present, for you and your family.
Asper, I am so jealous. Mine went long ago, when I left home.

Chalet Girls, what memories are stirred! I believe that there's a society for enthusiasts!

My husband is always chasing me for a list so I sent him one with a selection of Pandora charms I really liked to go with the Pandora Charm necklace he's bought me for our Anniversary. A few weeks later he asked if there were other little bits I'd like as he didn't think there was much on that list so I asked for a blue cardigan, socks, etc. Come Christmas day, I got a black(!) cardigan and a jewellery stand. He kept saying, "I'm sure I bought you more than that" so I was anticipating a Pandora charm. Eventually he handed me the mug he'd bought me and went off to peel the potatoes. To say I was a tad disappointed was an understatement. When I asked him why he hadn't bought anything on the list, he said, "I bought you the necklace, I didn't think you needed anything else"!

Any way, my darling son came in today with 2 odd shaped presents. It turned out to be 2 Pandora charms disguised in the most peculiar metal dressed glass tea light holders! I was so thrilled so I think that must be my best present.

Regalo Nothing compares to your gift!

My favourite present was a little pocket radio with headphones.It was bought for me so that I can listen to the local radio commentary whilst watching my beloved football team .I used it yesterday at the Boxing Day match it was brilliant.

My daughter bought me the 2017 Whitaker's Almanac despite its price doubling in two years to £85. I've had every edition for 30 years and enjoy exploring its deep well of UK knowledge and looking back on old editions. Thank you Louise.

Very small soaps.[big bars go so mushy so quickly]
I got given them about 3 years ago by a friend, and looked for them in shops myself ever since.
The person who gave me them this time said, why hadnt I looked online!

regalo Your post stopped me in my tracks and made all the other presents people received seem irrelevant . I cannot express how happy I am for you to have got this news. It must be the best present ever

I only had one present, a book from a friend.

I got a book from my grandson (9) which he was at pains to tell me he had bought with his pocket money from a book sale at school. "Because I know you like birds, nanny". It is the RSPB First Book of Birds (age appropriate for about age 5/6). I have been watching birds for around forty years and consider myself very knowledgable, but I was touched by the fact that he had seen this book and thought of me "because I like birds”! Our grandchildren are so very precious. Your news is just the best, regalo. I'm so happy for you.

Lovely news Regalo. I do like the idea of Chalet School reprints. I've been given a snood in fur fabric. It's very cosy but I look ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous. I am quite thick skinned about how I look, going for comfort over fashion but really. It's a lovely thought.sigh. But I look a sight.

Wonderful news for your whole family Regalo nothing can beat that.

I am so happy to read your news Regalo. It really made me smile today

l asked my friends not to buy for me this year as l'm a bit strapped and couldn't reciprocate. However, some of them did and they got me the most lovely things, my favourite being a canvas print of a photo of my two house rabbits which my friend 'borrowed' from my social media and had made up into a picture.
And also, l was so touched that so many people sent me stuff for the bunnies!
l'll be treating them once l'm sorted out. l hope everyone had a lovely Christmas x

He is really gorgeous! So glad he has done well.

Lots of lovely gifts mentioned here and I've had some thoughtful ones too but I think 'regalo's is the best of all. Glad to year your family had good support from Clic Sargent, I worked for them just before I retired, they do a good job.

Regalo, congratulations on the good news about your gorgeous little boy. I am so pleased for you.
