I asked my husband for a Superdrug gift card last Christmas, it's one of my favourite presents ever. It's kept me in skincare and hair dye for almost a whole year, and I've also bought new hairbrushes, a make-up bag, and even nicotine patches, and I get points on my loyalty card too. No Dove gift sets in this house!

I've been told I'm hard to buy for as I buy things I want but....
Nobody ever asks me if there's anything I'd like or want/need and then I end up with stuff I'm like
about lol I end up regifting or charity shopping it (or reselling if worth it so can buy something I do want 
)

If someone is stuck on what to get me I always say a M&S gift card cant go wrong as the food from there is lovely.
I swear to god if I get another Nivea gift set
Totally agree. Some people think vouchers are heartless gifts but if you know someone spends money at that place then at least you know they are going to use it!
I must be the odd one out as I don't actually mind Bayliss and Harding gift sets. I get one every year from my mother in law and it always gets used. I use Dove shampoo and body washes as standard so they always go down a treat too. I'm easily pleased
Alas I'm allergic to most crap
so they're not good gifts for me lol
Me too, I know I go through shower gel and hand soaps veryyyy quickly so it saves me buying them anyways. Of course it’s not a thoughtful gift but I can always make use of it and like you, I’m also very easily pleased
Any supermarket gift card would make me a happy girl
Told bf months ago what I wanted for Christmas, it comes in & out of stock very irregularly. I signed him up for stock alerts… he missed them, which is wild for someone constantly glued to their email. The other day he told me I’d have to pick something different but as this is all I want there’s no point god knows what I’ll end up with 
and I’ll have to buy what I really wanted myself 🫣

When I was primary school age, her boyfriend at the time gave her a box of chocolates, not wrapped up just in the store carrier bag and he hadn't even removed the big discount price sticker from the box. Can anyone beat that for pure cheapness and laziness?

I would of beat him to within an inch of his life - with the box of chocolates.
A, oops
With my ex, the first birthday I had whilst together, had been about 8 months.
He gave me a card, didn't seal it.. He took it out the envelope to show me it, then got his wallet out, put £10 in it and sealed it up
Saw this on a random article about an advent calendar reduced to 25p in superdrug. Bet some of you would love working with that person
I like the idea of buying a really nice advent calendar and distributing the gifts among friends (if that's something you like to do) ...
My moan is about Secret Santa ... I just don't see the point of it all to be honest. I'd rather everyone pool their $20 and we go out for a nice lunch together somewhere.

It'd be hard not to take it personally ... you'd wonder if someone was hinting at something!
We just had our Secret Santa and I gave my person a box of Baileys chocolates (very unoriginal, I know) - turns out they're teetotal and have alcoholics in the family so the present was not well received
I got a pack of Tarot cards which have double-ups, no instructions and mis-spellings throughout
