What do you really like receiving as a gift?
Personally I like anything edible or drinkable. I absolutely love my food and drink and the experience of trying new ones or just rediscovering an old favourite. This is convenient at Christmas time as I don’t even have to wait for my presents, I just need to wait for the Christmas food to be put out.
I also love receiving a gift token. As a young child I used to be silently a bit unappreciative of gift tokens wondering why someone would restrict you to one shop instead of just giving you the money. However, as an adult with boring financial commitments I really appreciate getting a gift token as it forces me to buy a treat for myself which I really enjoy doing - if I just had money it would just go on household spending.

In all seriousness I do agree that presents aren't the most important part of Christmas and it is better to give something than receive.Hint: I do like chocolate though.

I'd appreciate some new PJ's and bubble bath but other than that I'm genuinely touched by receiving anything!Online Community Co-ordinator

Socks... I get some every year but they always start to look like swiss cheese by October, I've now only got 2 pairs left that are totally hole-free!!
Also hoping to get AC Valhalla to get me through winter! -
I wanted a new Xbox Series X, but because nowhere's got any till at least January, I missed out
In actual fact I kind of already received my Christmas gift last week, Dad's bought a new 4K Smart TV for the Utility room up at Home, and the Xbox looks amazing on it, proper 4K and everything.

I always prefer to give than receive and have been this way since i had my children and my eldest will soon be 26! Although my 2 daughters will completely disagree and both think i deserve everything.I never ask them for anything, they usually get me what they think i would like and they never fail to spoil me every year. I do know there's several under the tree from my youngest daughter. Secretly i'm hoping for a pair of my favourite slippers from next because the sole is coming off mine. I also love bath bombs,body wash from the body shop and yankee candles. I don't drink alcohol so as long as it's not this then i really don't mind.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @66Mustang,
This is a great question I like giving gifts and seeing the faces of loved ones when they open their gifts. I don't really ask for anything, I'm extremely fortunate and all I really want for Christmas is that my friends and family are happy and healthy (I know, it sounds corny) but I genuinely mean it I'm always really touched when I receive a gift as someone has taken the time to think of me. Each year I'm very fortunate to receive a West Ham shirt, I know to most that would be the worst gift ever but it makes me happy Thank you. -
I bought myself some digital games on Xbox this week, such as Star Wars Squadrons, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Watch Dogs Legion and Mortal Kombat Ultimate.
