Most thoughtful or apt gift you received this Christmas

A dryer/styling gadget for my fine, post chemo hair. Now I don't look like a dandelion clock any more!

What lovely gifts - it just goes to show our children can be thoughtful ( not just a pain LOL) and our grandchildren's gifts are cherished no matter how little something cost.

I love your afternoon tea bits and bobs Biker , that's right up my street.

I hope you bought some lovely things Mollie even if you did buy them yourself !!

A little candle as a Christmas tree, too nice to light, we didnt have a tree this year, my Grandson (16) bought this, so we didnt miss out on a tree after all.

About September time my daughter asked me to try this beautiful coat on for size, that she had bought for her Mum in law. It was very expensive and very classy and I thought how much MIL would love it. Guess what, it was a trick, it was for me !! Also, as I am off to the Carnival in Rio in Feb, and was saying it will be complicated for money as I need 3 lots of currency. So my 2 sons gave me 3 different lots of currency for Chile, Argentina and Brazil !! I feel I am one very lucky lady !!

I have had a calendar from my youngest grandson for the last three years. His parents obviously ask their siblings for photos from the year gone by and it's put together via an internet site with pictures of all six grandchildren. I would be very disappointed not to get one now and it's one of my favourite presents again this year.

What lovely gifts! I’m envious. The only gifts I got I had to buy myself (with one exception - thank you Downtoearth

A Roman sesterce from the reign of Antoninus Pius (second century CE). DH started planning the purchase months ago when he went into a local antique shop and discussed what he wanted with the owner. She not only found one but also let him pay it off a bit at a time. We don't have a lot of money so it took him ages to pay with what bits and pieces he had.

It's a little bronze coin that most people wouldn't be interested in but, to me, it's wonderful.

very unusual Granny

This exquisite embroidered brooch chosen by my son-in-law. I love it. The photo is not touched up by the way ...

little cake tier,2 cups sauces and little tea pot (the feraros in the background are long gone)!!!

My grandchildren bought me a Willow Tree Angel

Well I still have a little something to come from my other dd,but this is what dd no2 bought me, we decided that we would have a budget for adults and this is what she bought me. it is for when we have afternoon tea where I make mini sandwiches and tiny cakes

nanaandGrampy what a wonderful thoughtful gift from your family, my favourite was from my dgds, a pink glass bottle with stars in that light up!! Chosen, paid for with their own money and wrapped by them, given with much love, priceless
