Unexpected best present!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas - I thought I’d start a topic to see if anyone got anything really unexpected and surprising for Christmas.

I got the usual socks and pants, a new board game and an awesome book about fungi! However my best present so far was from my in-laws (although they’d probably be disgusted as I’ve been using it in a creative way! ) They got me a super bright head torch. My OH hates the cold, so often I have to practice my favourite sexual practice (oral on my wife) in the dark, under the duvet……however now I get to enjoy the experience in glorious Technicolor! Happy days. All I need now is a small, under duvet air conditioner to keep me cool!

Did anyone else get anything unexpectedly cool?

I got two bottles of Lynx Africa instead of the usual one.

I’m classing that as an unexpected bonus!! :wink:

The reaction to a homemade gift i created, i know the person i gave it to appreciated it, and that was reward enough for me.

I got a sarcasm ball (like an 8 ball), I got some hair brushes, some makeup, some earbuds, some alcohol.

My favourite thing though was this recipe journal thing I can write recipes into and it’s like a folder type thing. I love cooking and baking so this is perfect for me :slight_smile:

Do they still make those? I love, love, love them! In my teens I used to microwave a milky coffee and dunk half a bag for breakfast every Sunday :joy:

They do but they are really hard to get hold of and not cheap by the time you factor in delivery lol but I have such fond memories of them from my nan’s biscuit tin when I was a kid. I’ve mentioned them so much and was beyond chuffed to unwrap 4 packs Christmas Day from Mrs H :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. I do love a biscuit :cookie:

They are definitely one of my top 5 - although I only ever had them as part of a variety pack. Wierdly pink wafers are my favourite biscuit (if you can call them such) - although anything shortbread-like (like Lincoln’s) will be smashed into my mouth!

I wish I could skip to the corner shop for a packet again. Sadly, Fox’s Moos just don’t hit the spot like Lincolns did :pleading_face:

Enjoy your nostalgic feast! :blush:

I had to reread this 3 times before I remembered that torch is just a flashlight across the pond.

Whew.

Obviously got the obligatory boxers and socks, which are always good to replace the worn out ones.

The best unexpected present was a beard beauty kit; beard shampoo, conditioner and oil. Now I’m giving my OH a run for the most number of bottles in the bathroom and showing my age :rofl:
