My favourite present: our holiday to Florida in April (which DH has told me is my birthday & Xmas present for the next 10 years, 😂 ). Also my lovely perfume from my sis (La vie est Belle).
DS - loves his exercise bike (his choice btw - he’s a complete fitness freak - doesn’t get it from me! Although I might borrow it for 10 mins a day to tone up before we go on holiday!). DD (12) In love with her Pandora bracelet & Lilo/Stitch charm. DD (10) Very very happy with her laptop! DD(7) loves her ‘Our Generation’ ice cream van. Other hits were slime kits, ROBLOX gaming cards, oh and the dollars which all my kids got ($100 each). The only disappointment was my DS who opened some Calvin Klein pants I’d got for him (cost a fortune), and said “I’ve got some already “ (admittedly he has - which he had previously bought himself- but as he only had 3 pairs of them I thought I’d get him some more! I think he’d rather I’d got him a football shirt for the local team he supports (in addition to supporting Arsenal!). |

I think DS’s favourite present was a Bowtruckle I popped into the top of his stocking!
OH got him some trainers that I knew he’d not like and I was right! Those have gone back Otherwise it was all fairly successful Edited at 12:08 AM. |

DS1 - a big snuggly fleece dressing gown
DS2 - gaming controllers that he’d asked for, the surprise was the limited edition colour I managed to get DD - tracked down the trainers she was after. |

DH loved his programmable smart light bulbs - my bedroom and lounge have turned into a Disco, and he's now 'creating something' with his raspberry pi in order to do more with them.
My Mum is in love with her Echo Dot, her and Alexa have become BFF's and apparently 'have a chat' in the mornings.. No real misses. |

I got a sonos speaker for the kitchen, didn't want Alexa but it came with it and I now love it!
Girls (16) both got Iphone 8's. They have put up with the same cheap phones since they were 12 and had been told we'd never get them iphones so they were surprised. Miss was probably the chocolates my Mum bought me, she had a radiator leak on Christmas Eve morning and some presents got wet. She gave me the chocolates but they were contaminated with the radiator liquid so had to throw them away!

DD18 loved a Skinny Dip backpack I bought her (which I was thrilled that she liked it as I can rarely choose clothing she likes) She also liked a little gold-coloured sun necklace also from Skinny Dip.
She laughed at my homemade cardboard laptop with iou a laptop for university written on the screen (going to buy it nearer to her leaving for uni) Only fail was a Disney Stitch sweatshirt from Primark which she liked but didn’t like it when she tried it on, but that can be exchanged. |

Almost everything was a hit here with only one miss really! DD is delighted with her backstreet boys world tour tickets, DS1 very happy with his computer games, superdry gear and pop vinyls, DS2 delighted with his upgraded phone and all are delighted with their echo dots!
The one miss was that we'd got DS2 colour changing LED lights for his room (a 5m length of them thinking he'd want it up round his shelves or something) he always fiddles about with the lights DS1 has in his room so thought we were onto a winner - turns out he wanted the ones that backlight the tv - made worse by the fact that we bought those ones for his sister easily fixed though! Thankfully they weren't expensive and very thankful for the great timing of an offer for free 30 day amazon prime trial that allowed me to get same day delivery for the right ones which are now being very happily used! |

Had to look impressed by one of my DHs gifts... thankfully far more restrained than previous years... but bot sure what possessed him to buy me a toaster egg cooker thing, he said he thought it would come in handy:
We already have a perfectly good toaster and pans plus various egg poachers, boilers and omelette makers that we never use...
