    Whats up? :(

    Went to my Dads today (WHY OH WHY OH WHY?) and mentioned my werther's vodka, to be told he hated things like that. Vodka should be left alone.

    To which I jokingly said, ' Yes its to go with you Cheese and Pickles Hamper' (Which it was)

    He actually laughed and said ' F!!! Off , Cheese and Pickle Hamper. If I want cheese and pickles I'll go and bl00dy buy some.'

    I think he thought I was joking.

    I just get so fed up sometimes. Everytime I try and do something different, nobody here wants to know.

    I actually got in the car and cried.

    my OH wld be v v v glad to have a cheese and pickle hamper.
    poor you. :(
    after all that effort. I wld be tempted to just give him the hamper anyway as i reckon 1) everyone shld try some thing new and 2) when he actually sees what he gets he will realise all the thought you put in his present.
    good luck
  • ya know what.. i'd give it up with a message along the lines of 'made with love from our hearts' .... see if he is still scrooge.

    Oh dear.
    Personally (and this is just me) I would give him the hamper anyway. A gift is a gift at the end of the day.Especially something that someone has put so much thought and time into.

    I haven't really started it yet. I only have 3 jars of pickle and the vodka. It was a spur of the moment thing. I think so many of you are making them I thought I would too.

    I don't have many people to buy for, and Christmas is such a quiet affair. I like to try and make the gift buying/making special. But as nobody else in my family is that way inclined, it never seems to work.:(
