Favourite....? Well that was the "diamond" necklace from my grand-daughter, and the hand-made candle from my grandson......
The most incredible was the new bicycle from my son and his wife! A real "old ladies" bike .... comfortable, easy to get on and off, I can stretch my legs pedalling, and not get wrist aches from the handle-bars! Now I just need my tow-hitch for the trailer fixed on it so I can continue my sojourns to the village dump with all the re-cycling junk......
The cutest and most thoughtful was from my friend (who`s been unemployed for 2 years and has no money to spend) ....... she gave me a little tiny bag (for my tobacco) filled with tiny useful objects like a little heart shaped candle, a ciggy lighter, tin of gum, miniature hand lotion, and all was wrapped in a letter telling me how much she values my friendship!
Just a small little idea I do at Christmas time ....... buy a couple very small gifts and wrap them .... with no name. Handy for the odd person who drifts in .......
This year I got just some small packets of Home-made Jelly Babies (no imitation flavouring/colourants/additives but nicely packaged) ... and a cigarette tin with a Marijuana leaf design....... They all found appropriate recipients!
My boss bought me a digital camera because he knew mine had broken. He's had a really tough year financially so I was absolutely amazed that he'd got me this lovely gift, I thought it was a box of chocolates until I unwrapped it. Cue some up-to-date photos for my profile!
