I'm easily pleased, but it's not Christmas unless I buy myself a box of Licorice Novelties.



What's yours?

Glacé fruit. More precisely, glacé citrus fruit.

Only at Christmas.

Chocolate Orange for me - even if there is slight superficial damage to the box.

a nice pack of cuban cigars to smoke on days off as not working as getting old enough to realise minimal money maximum effort is not rewarding

These. Specifically the Aldi ones which, having tried many brands, are by far the best.

Haha.

I gave one to a friend the other day and I couldn't stop myself from telling her that they were going cheap.....

Bought myself two Breitlings and an Omega Speedmaster. Been a decent year.

A tube of Savlon for the odd oven burn on my hands.

Very nice! Which Breitlings did you opt for?

I treated myself to a convertible recently, but can't say that was for Christmas! I have booked a week off in January, so for the first time since August I will have a proper break from work. That to me is a real treat!

The SVR is the best car I’ve owned. An absolute gem that’s hugely underrated. Disconnect the exhaust valves and it sounds incredible.

I've been treating myself for 2 years now after a very messy divorce and a long period of hunkering down.

Got the Porsche, got the whole house Sonos and huge TV, got the expensive bikes, onewheel, stupidly expensive but much desired WWII sheepskin flying jacket, expanded the custom knife collection.... in fact I've bought pretty much anything my mind took a fancy to, as a rebellion I guess.

But this year, got the best treat possible - a new 'someone'. Gonna be a really great Christmas biggrin
