team tractor Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Ww2 for my PS4 she knows me well. I work50-80 hours a week so enjoy the calm down after work for 30 minutes sometimes. Chocolate, socks, guy Martin book. Mum bought me a fire stick and years subscription. I don’t need or want anything but love seeing the kids happy. My 8 year old told me he doesn’t like any of his presents talk about upsetting me after £120 gone. He’s changed his mind a little bit but he’s hardwork . He asked me for them too .

Jbob Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Best gift - new cartridge bag from my brother (didn't have the heart to tell him I'd just bought one, though his is better) and a bottle of southern comfort. Worst gift - shower gel (again) Christmas is a kids time of year and I get more pleasure from watching my daughter open her gifts then get any myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39TDS Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 My grandson is into pirates and after spending fortunes I'd say his favourite present was a plastic pirates hook which probably cost about a pound. He insisted on opening all the rest of his presents with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought clothes mainly for my Son, some money to treat himself and a LED light that changed colour for his room! He has had the damn thing on auto change all night when we were kids (when imagination was king) we emptied the boxes and pretended we were in sports cars, or even bobsleighs down the stairs! Until my brother collided with the wall and was knocked unconscious ah good times glad the bairn loved their £1 plastic toy.

amateur Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 A very nice watch from my wife. ......... and some Donald Trump lavatory paper from my eldest grandchildren to great hilarity as I tore away the wrapping paper. His face is printed in black and white on each sheet. (I believe that you have to colour it in yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollieollie Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 Best: vouchers for a outdoor store which combined with the same i received for my birthday in nov gives me enough for some new altberg boots. Worst: christmas socks, i like new thick socks. but these are thin and santa themed. they will never be worn On another note my kids got an obscene amount of presents, all from me and the missus and the inlaws. I suggested not buying to much as the grandparents go to far but she said no. I dont think so many gifts does them any good. my side of the family gave them money which i like as it is setting them up for the future, im pragmatic but the missus and her lot live in a dream world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your needs in life , mine are nearly the same apart from the whisky ( I no longer drink alcohol ) , so that third can be split with shooting and family , although my wife say I spend more time shooting than I do with her , tell yer , women take some pleasing at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggum Posted December 26, 2017 Report Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) I had the usual socks, lynx deodorant and shower gel and gift cards but I’d already told the wife not to get me anything as I’ve already treated myself to seeland Marsh trousers and jacket for game shooting. My old man got me some cartridges too so nothing bad really. I treated the wife to a super car track day where she gets to pick the venue and cars to drive. The kids had tons but my 6 yr old son spends more time playing with his sisters play kitchen ?, I do hope it’s not a sign of things to come !
