What did I (you) get for Christmas?
Discussion
To keep the momentum going happy to hear what you gifted to others or you were in turn gifted for Christmas.
But what the hell did I get in my Christmas Cracker?
It’s plastic. Hinged and has a hook. It’s not very strong and the hinge comes apart fairly easily. What the hell is it?

Love the boots, but out of a Christmas cracker?!?!
They weren’t in a cracker but the thread would be dead after Cotty’s post. With you Slopes - I didn’t want anything and asked not to be bought anything as I need to compact my life as hopefully moving on to a barge in next twelve months. I now have more make-up and hair products than I’ve had in almost fifty years in just one day. Clothes, cat socks, cat glasses, cat cushions, chocolate, perfume, clothes, and numerous gift vouchers and cards etc. perks of rescuing, fostering, modelling and PR haha.
Sorry to hear about the gift of Covid. Hope you all manage to to feel better soon and survive your quarantine.
A bar of chocolate
Some ginger biscuits
A water bottle to use when I play tennis
A book
A bumper year!
To be fair I did say they didn’t need to bother as if there is anything I need or want I can buy it myself.
Perhaps there should be a thread about what you bought for others. I got my wife a creative writing course and organised some harp lessons for my daughter. Both were unexpected and very well received.

I’ve edited my OP. It was just initially to ask what the Cracker surprise was. Happy for it to continue in any form. Some ginger biscuits

amongst things I gifted other half a torch after reading that stupid 200 page PH Torch thread. I’ve now bought him a second torch. This is unhealthy.
