He out-did me!
These are the christmas presents I got from hubby.
1. Something useful/for a quid or less - a pair of bedsox from Poundland.
2. Something humorous/for about a tenner - a do-it-yourself voodoo kit.
3. Something home-made from stuff lying around the house/luxurious:
This is where I couldn't hope to compete! A promise of a concrete birdbath made from sand/cement left over from our extension. PLUS: A cute little birdie house to hang in the pear tree.
My presents to him.
1. Something useful/for a tenner (OK OK - I cheated - so what!) A trolley jack - it was fifty quid. (His old one expired last week under the strain of a poorly land-rover and I couldn't think of anything else at four-thirty on Christmas eve)
2. Something humorous/home-made from stuff lying around the house: A chocolate cake with a stuck-in-the-chocolate-icing-pretend-mud range-rover on top (see No. 3 below)
3. Something luxurious/for a quid or less: a new top of the range Range Rover Sport in black (OK OK I cheated again! It was £1.99 from Woolies).
From this you can see why I had to cheat with No. 1: it was imperative that I kept to my land-rover theme and anything else just wouldn't do!

If at first you don't succeed...cheat!
Well done all the same.
Can't believe you actually have a pear tree. Was there a partridge in it?
I think you did very well. I love the idea of the birdbath and bird house. What a clever chap he is.
Sounds like you had a great christmas! hope you have a happy new year! xx
Might do something like this in future - sounds fun. I'd probably end up cheating too - after dreaming up loads of clever/inventive/cheeky gift ideas for what feels like 5000 family members, I think I'd be running low on imagination by Christmas Eve too!
I like the idea of the voodoo doll. Ummm, think of all the agents that rejected me could do with a bit of a poke!
Happy new year annie.
Gosh, Yer man is a good 'un:-)
Happy New Year Annie. May all your writerly dreams come true:-)
xx
