But honestly, we all know receiving gifts is by far the best bit. Or at least it should be.
What happens when our Xmas gifts don't live up to Xpectations?
Sadly we don't all get to do the Beyonce happy face on Christmas day
The 'Inappropriate' gift
Oh, a strapless Babydoll and a hot pink blindfold? You really shouldn't have. No, I mean really. You're my UNCLE!!!
Almost, but not quite…
Remember when I said I wanted an iPad. That's because I wanted an iPad. WTF is a Hudl?
'That's awkward’
A bottle of Veuve Clicquot? How thoughtful. If you’d have thought a bit harder though, you might have remembered I’ve just completed a 12-step program to beat my raging alcoholism.
What's your f**king point?
A 'world's worst cook' apron? Is that supposed to be funny? When was the last time you cooked me dinner? How about I take these apron strings and strangle you?
Deja Vu
Thanks, I love it. Just like I loved it last year, and the year before. Oh, and the year that Merry Xmas Everybody was no.1 the first time round.
The Diva
The reason I ‘dropped a hint’ to you from the Tiffany’s website is because I wanted THAT bracelet. Not this one. If I’d wanted this one, I’d have dropped this hint - Claire’s Accessories!
The re-gift
Wow, this is the gift that keeps giving. Literally. Because the name on this label tells me you got it for your last birthday...cheapskate!
Golden oldies
It’s lovely Gran, thanks so much. Just because I’m a 37-year-old barrister, why wouldn’t I want to spritz on ‘Girlfriend’ by Justin Bieber when I get ready for work in the mornings?
The guilt trip...
Oh my God – it’s by Dolce & Gabbana, thank you!! And what a coincidence, I got you a present from a designer label too...it’s er, by those genius creatives Florence & Fred.
