Yes, you've lucky! I've had some lovely gifts before now, but there won't be any pomp and ceremony involved! Congratulations on the new arrival next year and good luck with the computer!

Pomp and ceremony? I wasn't trying to brag or anything......I hope it didn't come across that way :embarasse

My boyfriend is useless with presents if it was left to him nobody but himself would get anything for the past 5 years I've had to do all the Xmas shopping including for myself and he gives me the money! Although I must say he does wrap my presents an last year he went and bought me a camera I wanted for ages but didn't buy when he gave me money for my gift as a surprise

Thanks to the OP who mentioned the Marvel boxed set on pre-order...will be a brill pressie for my 2 boys at Xmas. While I was on I've also pre-ordered the Hunger Games DVD for DD...to go with the Hunger Games trilogy of books I've already bought and squirrelled away! Still haven't really got much else, but I'm waiting for the new Lego Advent calendar to appear in the shops. They've had one the past couple of years and really seem to love it.

If anyone sees any cool pirate themed things
please let me know as my youngest is pirate daft right now. Thanks.

Sainsburys have pirate lunch bags and water bottles.

My 4 year old just had a pirate party and for the party bags we bought 6 pencils and 6 pirate rubbers for the party aisle in our local Asda for £1.50-£2.00 per pack. They would make great stocking fillers. Also Wilkinsons have a build your own pirate ship thing in for a few £s in the craft section

I genuinely feel that no one in this whole wide world knows me better than OH but the minute he steps into a shop to present buy its like we have been dating for 2 minutes LOL! :rotfl::rotfl:

Thats how I ended up with tea, sugar, coffee caddies for my 30th Birthday!! :eek::eek:

Snugglebunny - I got OH Silverstone tickets for last Christmas, its actually more cost effective to buy a 3 day ticket than the 1 for just race day, think it worked out as only about £20 more for an extra 2 days.

thanks Pips Mum! will have another look re the tickets, for the 4 of us would have been crazy money for just the Sunday this year - we sometimes go on qualifying day on the Saturday as it's much cheaper, but I hadn't realised you got such a good deal on the 3 days one, will go see, thanks lots! x

ha ha ha ha that made me laugh! bless him! :rotfl:
Thats like when my OH returned home from deployment and said he had got me a great present.....a packet of foreign haribo. Baring in mind he had been to dubai for 2 weeks on the trip so I was expecting something alot different.
