What’s the most unforgettable Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

It could be the best, the worst, the most meaningful, the silliest—just the one that stands out the most!

    The daughter that I live with always spoils me even though I tell her not to spend her money on me. She refuses to listen and does anyway, she’s so sweet.

    I can’t think of a worst present that I’ve had. The best, I’ve had many wonderful presents from her and my other daughter over the years but the 2 that stand out the most are… Lego camper van, which I had 2 years ago. I enjoyed every minute of making that and now it’s on show in my glass cabinet.

    Also a luff adjustable pillow. I wanted one for a long time and I’m never great about spending money on myself and for a pillow they are expensive. That same year she bought me one. It’s the best pillow I’ve ever had and still have it.

    She’s told me I have 16 presents this year and I’ve no idea what they could be.

    If I receive a gift I don't like or will use I recycle it to someone else who I know will. Maybe birthdays or next Xmas

    It sounds like you have a very sweet, thoughtful and generous daughter, @poppy123456. I love surprises, especially when someone puts thought into picking something they think I'll love. You'll have to let us know what she surprises you with this year! One of my favourite gifts was actually a Lego set too—it was based on one of my favourite Disney movies and now sits proudly on my living room cabinet.

    I recycle gifts that way too, @Sandy_123! It’s always nice to make sure it ends up with someone that will use it rather than ending up in a landfill.

    My most unusual gift was about 9 years ago, I received a beautifully wrapped rubber chicken.

    To this day, I still don’t know who it was from, as it was slipped under my tree so I presume by family. There was no explanation, just the rubber chicken.

    I’m still not sure if it was meant as a joke or not, but it made me laugh, and I still have it. It also acts as a bit of a conversation starter when people see it!
