The TL is badgering me about this but i cant think of anything i need and i dont want a surprise as that is a waste of money

What are you getting?

i only one one thing not a list of crappy aftershave and bathbombs etc - ie your big present




One of my best presents

[Elliot]

A kitten

[Alf]

I'm getting very, very drunk.

Maybe a dvd boxset of some British sitcom, usually a bottle of something probably Glenfiddich, I expect a book and new slippers will be in there somewhere. But I'm not fussed if I don't get anything as long as I've got good food and drink then I'll be happy.

I don't want anything, I don't really get behind the idea that I tell someone what I want, then they wrap it and I have to act surprised and delighted what is all that about. Mr C and I never exchange presents at Christmas apart from a silly gift with a 10.00 limit

Last year I requested a Roberts STREAM 93i | Internet/DAB/FM Radio which i was very much looking forward to and have used it every day and still love it.

Its imperative to give clear advice on what you want as a gift and then get that if it is reasonably within budget. Getting folk presents on a whim leads to all the crap that litters auctions in Jan and Feb

I get the children what they want with no surprises and the same with the TL

Ant is getting me an Armani watch and an adult colouring book.

Yes we are going to look at tvs on sat as we had the same idea so that could be a good solution

But if I want something I just go and buy it myself... why wait until Christmas and waste half a tree wrapping something you know you are getting? She could have got that for you in November and you would have had the use of it a month earlier

As you know we did that last year

You can't go wrong with a 55 inch OLED Niamh

Well we both want one so we may as well get a really good one that we'll both enjoy, makes sense

Because wanting something that is nice is not the same as needing something. I would not have gone and spent nearly 200 sovs on a radio but i did want the radio. That is the idea. Like the TV, we have a perfectly good TV but we dont have a curved 4k HDR one with a soundbar

etc

I never thought I would spend that kind of money on a tv, we went in thinking we would spend about 700, but ended up spending 1500 quid but it is pretty amazing and when we replace the one in the back room that is what we will get

I think presents should be banned for adults at Christmas apart from silly stuff that makes you laugh, like naked card games

I mean, we do spend alot of time watching TV shows and films so I think we should splash out

all i really want is my 2019 whisky bible and the Christmas Spectator mag and i am happy

Will he wrap it and put it under the tree

[smudgie]

Not a clue.
Apparently I am very difficult to buy for.

Maybe some art work. Quite a few prints I have my eye on.
