Re: the real meaning of xmas...
My hubby waited until noon christmas eve to go and buy me something ..
I got a Sarah Mcloughan (spelt totally wrong) greatest hits CD (only like 2 songs on it which i downloaded a few years back)
$40 gift voucher for shoppers drug mart.
A tub of Caburys chocolate fingers.
I brought him some slippers as his were falling to pieces and a family size griddle (he loves his griddle).
Better luck next year.
lmao .. Our first xmas together 6 xmas's ago he brought me a mirror, a picture frame and a vase .. The look of disappointment on my face i think said it all that year ..

Re: the real meaning of xmas...
I am just so fussy that I bought my own prezzies and wrapped em myself! OK, hubby was not amused when I told him a few weeks back. But I just couldn't be bothered to write a list for him of what I wanted (as I didn't know myself) and I knew he wouldn't get me exactly what I wanted!
I guess I should'nt really complain as when I gave him a list the other year for Valentines I wrote down 5 perfumes for him to choose from.............he came back with all 5! Bless him and they were all 'perfumes' large bottles!

Re: the real meaning of xmas...
We have a maximum spend of $30 on each other for christmas, and that should buy 3 presents.
This way you don't get expensive mistakes, plenty of thought goes into the gifts, and you can buy silly things too that are appreciated.
So no duff presents for me this year

Re: the real meaning of xmas...
I have felt totally spoilt this year and no naff pressies
Daughter was speechless over the Wii and said it was the best christmas ever. I was surprised at that as it was sooo low key - but we ALL had a go on the Wii and my arm aches today

Our eldest wanted to get his gf presents on almost no money at all (necessity, not choice, I might add), but she was delighted with her Santa Sack of goodies, each chosen with great care, and claimed they were a much better gift than the IPod () she'd got for him!
We had a real fun day, and hope you all did too!

I'm writing to you on our new joint pressie. A new iMac. Still finding my way around, but very happy so far

Two pairs of (much-needed) runners (trainers), a very large external hard drive (also much-needed) which gifter thoughtfully already partly loaded with a selection of books, songs and movies that he thought I'd like, and assorted other items.

Mrs JonboyE bought me a box set of CDs she wanted and I bought her a cordless driver that I wanted.
A perfect Christmas.

No naff presents here.
I got a copy of photoshop elements that I wanted, a book on how to use it, some knitting yarn (gorgeous soy-wool-silk blend), a knitting bag. And some Lush smellies from the kids.
I was one happy bunny

What's wrong with you people?! Can't you read?
This thread is about crap pressies... if you want to purrr with pleasure about your perfume, computers, CDs and other carefully selected and wonderful gifts start your own boring thread!!! :curse::curse:
OK...
As stated, I said I would contribute later as my fambly xmas thingy was today and so later is now. Imagine the lump in my throat as I ripped the paper off of this puppy...
Oh, yes... not four Ziploc storage containers, not a half a dozen... but a 22 count, all in various size! All in a nifty box, that you can carry like a two-four. Bliss, eh?
That is a crap pressie.
I win this thread.
the end! thank you...
