    the present that made me cry was a digital photoframe from my sister in Holland preloaded with lots of pictures of holidays we have shared and of her kids etc.
    and my Nigella Express cookery book with my 12yr old DD bought for me with her own money and she was so excited to give it to me.

    And the homemade CD my 13 yr old DD made for me with favourite tunes on, I am a lucky mummy indeed..

    Two absolutly ace digital photo frames, a 500GB external hard drive and a weather station. Loads of other great stuff too, super photo mug with a silly photo of my friend and I, Jean Paul Gaulier purfume, books, smellies, pens and a pic n pix!!

    I'm happy :)

    The sweetest present though was from my daughter aged 15. It was a letter, she finds it hard to open up to me so she wrote me a letter telling me how much she loves me and how good a mum I am, I was crying my eyes out reading it, I was so choked up and she had frame a little photo of us both too. It was very emotional.

    Aren't the personal things always the best? :D
  • This might make me sound like a big softy but having my missus & kids here at home with me was the best present I could ask for.

    We spent today with a dead friend's elderly mother and she gave me a keyboard vacuum set which he'd ordered but never had a chance to use. Not only is it the most practical pressie I received, it's particularly poignant because we all miss him so much.
  • money so my birthday pressie to myself can happen :j but the best material things were this bopping penguin thing and an alarm clock :D

    Hubby got me a helicopter tour of Glasgow. What a cool pressie! Im petrified at the thought of it but im sure its going to be amazing.

    He also got me a very cute pink radley pen and pencil set and he told me he hadnt got anything so I was mega suprised.

    My coat.

    From Reiss and it's fitted so it's even better. I find it difficult to buy coats and this is perfect, cost £175 but will be used everyday and will get it's usage!!

    I got some lovely pressies this year but my favourite is probably my lovely Radley bag. I've wanted one for ages so am a very happy bunny now :D
