Worst: Roses. Yet they came in useful as I swiftly re-gifted them.

Best: honestly I love the "usuals": socks, gloves, smellies! I resist buying them if they wear out/run out in the run up to christmas, so if I dont get any I am disappointed (and wearing holey socks and out of shower gel ?)

My family know me well enough to not be "clever" with my gifts. I genuinely love a smelly set or a hat&glove set, so they oblige ?

Lovely surprise if a "waffle dressing hown" from my daughter in a teal colour. Have wanted one for years so a really nice present. A rather odd " bling" brooch from a friend is another one, grateful for the thought but ....!

Just me being nosey - I was widowed 2 years ago and have no family, so spent the day on my own. I got dressed in my Sunday best, and cooked a proper dinner and had presents from friends which I was very grateful for, I loved them all. I just wondered if anyone got anything really random or wonderful surprises.
