If so you haven't mentioned the bald patch :rotfl:
If it wasn't that one, then I can't see that it was a recent purchase...if indeed it was an ebay purchase...0 -

Please have a look because I'm dying to know more :rotfl:0 -
My auntie bought me nylon flowery knickers that would have covered my boobs and a box of mints for my 18th birthday! Even my mum wouldn't wear the knickers. The mints were nice though!0

I think this is the scarf. This is quite scary.

Looking at them, has she bought them because you are into branded clothing items, or the Ugg brand? It sounds like she's not had a good deal from ebay seller, sending fusty stuff and either didn't notice (I have an appalling sense of smell!) or thought 'it'd do' or wasn't able to get an alternative in time.
The price she's paid (no personal idea of whether that's a good or bad deal) is a fair enough amount (IMO) for a present for you, the equivalent of perhaps buying you a bottle of booze or the star gift at Boots.0 -

My sister in law bought me 2nd hand clothes from eBay
She bought her mum and daughters pj's from asda. I worked there for 5 years and would have been happy with something from the big supermarkets. My fav shops at the moment are Aldi and lidl.
I have got loads of running and cycling stuff from Aldi and lidl. I buy stuff for myself and son from charity shops but I wouldn't buy my OH or anyone else as they have personal tastes.paul2louise wrote: »I think this is the scarf. This is quite scary.

In fact, she probably spent more on you than on the gin for her own brother.paul2louise wrote: »My SIL wanted something off EBay but it wouldn't be delivered in time so he gave her enough to cover it. She bought him a bottle of bombay sapphire gin and my son a telescope. Both substantial presents. My Oh gave the 3 grown up girls a litre of vodka each and a few nik naks. The 15 year old boy had £20 game voucher.
We have a joint account but I only work a few hours part time so he is the main earner in the family so I don't really contribute to the family income.
The hat is BNWT (did you miss that when you opened the present?) and has probably picked up the smell of the used scarf when wrapped together.
I think it's less that she didn't spend as much on you as she did for your husband and more that the present was unwanted (and maybe not thought-about by the donor).
And she probably spent more on you than on the gifts from
And spent more on you than you did on her son (£20 Game voucher).
And more than pjs from Asda that she bought for her side of the family..
Do you wear hats? I could see my sis buying me a hat from ebay BNWT as I wear a lot of hats.
If you continue to buy gifts for Christmas, I'd drop hints that a bottle of wine, chocs, cheap pjs would be appreciated.0
