    scaty, you really made me laugh :)

    One year my BF gave me a year's supply of chocolate - now I hate the stuff :(

    The best present given to me was for Valentine's Day this year - an ironing board and an electric blanket (well, I needed them) and I just love that electric blanket.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Bought my sister her best present apparently....

    ....a shoebox I'd filled with choc bars. Better than choc selecion as I could buy 1 of everything in Woolies etc. Costly.....but she said it was the coolest present ever (and she's 30!)

    Best present I gave was when I was a child and was invited at short notice to a friend's birthday party.
    I grew up in a shop, and my Mum decorated a shoebox and filled it with sweets.
    I got invited to loads of parties after that:rotfl:

    Best present received was my GHDs a couple of years ago
  • I brought tickets for my mum and her best friend to see that phycic off most haunted, and she got a message off her mum, she was delighted.
