    Would you not say "I got an ice hockey jersey" rather than "I got a €400 euro jersey"?

    I got a €60 bottle of perfume, a €80 pair of earrings and a €30 cordless vacuum.


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    Money, vouchers chocolate and a holiday (for February). Delighted!

    I could. But I won't


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,299 ✭✭✭hairyprincess


    I got fancy bedclothes that I’ve wanted for ages but couldn’t afford. Fancy wine. Chocolates. Michelle Obama book. Nice creams. Some jewellery.

    Thoroughly enjoying the down time now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND

    Probably something game worn or signed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 495 ✭✭Undividual


    Fishing rods.

    One of those presents where I had to remember the original conversation where the thought had come from. Nice to know I'm occasionally being listened to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    You know what I got for Christmas?

    I got a carton of cigarettes. Old man grabbed me and said 'Smoke up, Johnny!'

    So go home and cry to your Daddy, don't cry here okay.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    A new fishing bag and a coffee grinder. I'm easily pleased.

    Coming from the spa who started the thread with "I got a 400 euro jersey" no mention of what sport or team, just price. Pathetic

    A few nice things from my daughter - nice socks, leather belt, bluetooth speaker.

    My Mrs is going to pick me up a nice gadget of my choice in the sales. She wanted me to choose something in December but I like a bargain and wanted to wait for the sales....plus I didn't know what I wanted then.

    Wireless headphones.
    Some 'lounge pants' because I had nothing to wear in my lounge.
    Some other bits and pieces.

    In keeping with things, my lounge pants cost one MILLION dollars.

    Edit: I'm terrible to buy anything for. "What would you like?"
    "Sure whatever. Nothing much".

    A lustful look from the neighbours wife. Not sure I should open that present.bag of March hares.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,740 ✭✭✭Foweva Awone


    Ugh, incredibly tacky to be so consumed with the price of the gift. Surely if it has personal value to you, that's more important than the price paid?

    I received lots of small personal meaningful gifts, homemade in some cases - the best kind. :) Probably worth very little in monetary terms, but to be honest I'm a grown adult, anything expensive I want/need I buy for myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,471 ✭✭✭EdgeCase


    Galaxy Note 9 albeit on bill pay with a 24 month contract lol

    It's a shotgun wedding with a mobile network.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 26,658 ✭✭✭✭OldMrBrennan83


    Lots of smellies. I think everyone was trying to tell me something.

    Nothing wrong with that. We won't have to buy few a while


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 789 ✭✭✭Beanntraigheach


    A sock.

    Is that you Dobby ??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    My best gift this year by far was from a Reddit secret santa. I joined it as it's been a miserable old year and I felt like I wanted a surprise and none would be forthcoming, I wanted the fun of buying something for someone else too. I expected I'd enjoy that part but that I'd get rubbish myself. Instead I got a great , very "me" gift.

    Someone out there knows me, but I don't know them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,634 ✭✭✭✭Graces7


    Santa has let me down. Asked for a car as am now island and housebound.

    Two delightful and unexpected gifts from boardsies...

    AND a totally unexpected big box of Milk Tray from our island Co-op!

    All is fine... It really is


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,360 ✭✭✭Lorelli!


    My family just do small presents for the adults now. Something sentimental or something you need. I got some perfume, runners and from my parents, a new jacket because they bought me a nice one for my birthday but my dog ate it.

    I bought myself a pair of dungarees and a few other clothes just before Christmas. Ive wanted dungarees for ages so I'm super happy about that. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,596 ✭✭✭hairyslug


    No-one takes me seriously when I ask for socks, wife got me a lovely wallet though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,909 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    bruce on broadway cd and a bottle of writers tears whiskey from noble locks. hand made crafty stuff from my younger kids and my eldest truly surprised us with a voucher for a nice restaurant.

    got a top and a shirt that i neither like nor fit me from my in-law kriskindle. despite my wife telling him not to get me clothes, he still went off and spent his hard earned money on stuff i won't (can't!) wear. he also got me a book that i already have.

    getting kriskindle from my own family on sunday. it will be interesting if nothing else...
