Bought a colleague an inflatable sheep with a hole in as a secret santa gift 3 years ago. He's now in management and I think he knows it was me as he's always giving me glares if I laugh near him.

I've learnt over many years, not to try and be too clever, or over think gifts to buy the beloved, and never second guess what they may like. Best way is ask them what they want and buy it, simple as. A mate of mine used to buy clothes or boots that type of thing, and was forever taking them back to the shop after Christmas.

The wife bought me a sander last Chritmas so I bought her an electric iron for her birthday. She took it well and laughed...I've employed a food taster and bodyguard.

Bought my mum a state of the art iron when she was 60, she was not amused. I was living in London and needed my shirts ironed for work. Would take them back in a suit carrier case. The iron is still going but My mum has semi-retired from ironing. Get them done in Morrison’s now.
This video makes me chuckle!
Very proud to be voted Planet Swans Poster of the Year 2017 by my fellow posters. Especially on a site that nearly had 20 million impressions last year.
My dad once bought my mum a cauliflower after they had a small scale argument. His logic was that she enjoyed cauliflower with the Sunday dinner and in his mind he was thinking of her. The small scale argument quickly escalated. I was about eight at the time and we still laugh at it today.
