The charity shop donation bag that is. Christmas is high season, and having a birthday at the end of Nov doesn't help. So far it's a set of eyeshadows which is more suitable for a youngster - It's good quality but the colours are all heavy matt or heavily glittered colours, which include bright red, bright orange, mustard yellow, dark teal and black! The most hideous pom pom hat which is bright blue with even brighter blue "foiling", a rather uninspiring grey purse that's too big to fit into my handbag, a book about poo (yes, I am known to have a lavatorial sense of humour) - but really?!!! bath bombs - not keen as all they do is colour the water and leave a load of glitter and mess to clean up, and some baubles full of bubble bath. Yes I'm an ungrateful cow but I wish people would just give me something that I'll actually use, or is of great beauty.(to me that is!) For my birthday I received what I can only describe as a hideous ombre glass butterfly, reason being that the person who gave it too me saw it and loved it so much that she bought one for herself as well - nice thought but completely not to my taste and wouldn't fit in with my decor, so that's in it's box under the bed as I don't quite have the heart to get shot of it yet!
I really really put a lot of thought into the gifts I get for people - maybe I'm getting it wrong too!!!
Ooh just spotted the box of wooden and metal puzzles that oh got, that can go in too..There's no way he or either us of that for that matter will bother - sort of thing that gives you a few mins frustration at the dinner table when something like that falls out of a xmas cracker....Ooh I'm sounding even more ungrateful. I don't mean to be horrible...but fgs!!!!!
