Have you tried Vans wellies? These are the only ones that fit round my calves.I’ve got quite chunky legs, after trying all year to find a pair of wellies that fit, (I got 4 pairs to try for my birthday but all had to go back), I said I was giving up and not to worry about it.
I got a pair or supermarket wellies for Xmas... they don’t fit

Send a cardForgot to mention some family friends I always buy for their kids at Christmas just little £10 gifts. Last year they got my son something for his birthday. This year they didn’t even acknowledge his birthday, early December I posted their presents they sent back a thank you. Christmas Eve they messaged to say btw we aren’t buying for friends kids this yearit’s a relive as next year I won’t bother but why wait to late?!
Not just Christmas but some advice would be good. Another set of family friends we’ve always done gifts since birth their boys are 4 and 6. My son is 2, this year no happy birthday text even though I did both of there birthdays, card or even present. My husband dropped their Christmas presents off last week and got a thank you. Not even a card back or present back again. I’m not actually bothered about the presents but I feel that’s it’s I’m not doing anymore presents from us. It’s both their birthdays in April so I said to my husband I’m not going to bother he said I should and I look petty. What would you guys do? I just think it’s embarrassing to keep sending presents and not have reciprocated plus expensive!
Should have rummaged in the cupboard for the dove gift set

Anyone fobbing off their old Xmas gifts they received last year, but didn’t like, to someone else?

not because I don't like it though, because I already have 2 versions of the same thing!
Tis the season and all, bringing this back so you can share who gave you regifted stale bath bombs this year 
I really don't care what i get. As long as there's a Tiblerone ans a box of Malteasers I'm happy. But I'm so nervous to give my gift to my partner. He asked for something boring so i got it and then i topped it up with a couple of items of clothing and now I've got the fear he'll think I'm a tight witch. Tbh all i said i wanted for christmas was a nice clean house and so far he hasn't lifted a finger to help me soo.... haha. As long as ths kids are happy thats all that matters.
I will be happy with a gift card like M&S, why can’t people just buy gift card instead of some pointless tit they find in Flying Tiger
Anyone else feel immense pressure to make up for what their siblings don’t get their mum? My brothers buy nothing so I’m left feeling like I need to do it all. She’s also 60 on Jan 2nd and my list so far is a Fitbit,
Chanel perfume and a hairdryer if they both bought something it would be helpful I’m dreading it

People seem to have this idea that gift cards are a lazy gift… no idea why when the gift instead is usually some bath set from Boots etc so not like much thought has gone into it!
i love gift cards!
I love gift cards and cash.
Excuse to buy yourself something you wouldn't ordinarily.
Totally agree especially if it’s for a ‘nice’ shop or department store!
Definitely.
Even if it is only a tenner or twenty quid, for me it makes something go from "no i won't buy that" to "I will treat myself" because the voucher is like a discount haha
If your mum is 59, I imagine your brothers aren’t teenagers any more.. Buy something nice for your mum because you want to, but don't make up for them.
I don't know your relationship obviously but I hope she appreciates the difference.
I ask for money or gift cards every year but my gran loves parcels so always needs to buy me physical things - usually means I need to prepare a list in advance of what skincare or makeup I need and then pass it on to her so she can go to boots and buy it. Before that she’d just but what she thought I’d like so this is a decent compromise, but I’d still rather have gift cards
I like being able to use them to treat myself in the future when I need a pick me up or put them towards a larger purchase.
I always give a bit of money and something to open then if they don't like the gift they can treat themselves to something they do like.
My money's on a jar of marmite.Feel like myself and partner are getting a joint present off a family member… told us yesterday we’ll either love or hate it
makes me nervous
Word for word, same. My brother cannot give a single hoot when it comes to presents for parents, always have been this way. If I don't think of something, it will never get done and he's a 30 year old man might I add, not a teenager who is unable to give these matters some thought.
I used to buy 2 separate gifts from both of us in the past but I am tired so I just buy them something from me and carry on. I am done trying to make up for his 'hootlessness'. Eldest daughter curse is very real.
