"Please get me sweets or chocolate. I Love it all, apart from Liquor..."
You can buy them without the walnut now as an alternative option. They’re not right.
A friend of my mums had a granny who always gave her a little handful of nuts when she went to visit. Years later granny said she was always glad mums friend liked the nuts as she didn’t like to just throw them away. Turned out she couldn’t eat them as they got under her denture so she sucked the chocolate off and saved them for her!This might turn your stomach but my mums friend used to care for an elderly neighbour in her spare time - taking him food and shopping etc. One Christmas he gave her some sort of nuts. It’s only later that she realised he had sucked all of the chocolate off them
I'm pretty sure this is an old joke, can't quite believe so many people would know someone who did thatA friend of my mums had a granny who always gave her a little handful of nuts when she went to visit.

She always swore it was true and said she had never eaten nuts since!I'm pretty sure this is an old joke, can't quite believe so many people would know someone who did that

That's handyIve just been given an Oven glove by my neighbour. It was carefully wrapped with a gift tag.
Ive never used my oven.That's handy
Maybe they thought that you didn't use your oven as you had no oven glove. You could start, home cooked food is where it's at, what do you eat if you don't cook?Ive never used my oven.

Way too much and I'm so ASHAMED when I think back on it . but to put it in context we were both based in the M East so he didn't have to travel from London and the watch was not the most expensive one....still too bl**dy much in fairness.Gosh @Scarlett O' Hara how much did you spend? . Absolute thousands.
So not exactly a weird gift more of a weird situation.
A few weeks back I was out Christmas shopping with my sister and she said she was going to get me a present. Not a Christmas present just a present for now (i’d helped her out with something but told her she didn’t need to but she insisted) said she wanted to get me one of those shortbread tins from M&S. so that was really thoughtful. I love shortbread.
So we go in and I saw that light projector one and it looked really nice. On the way to the till and my sister spots a different tin. Bigger but just a plain tin and says that because there’s more biscuits in the plain tin, her husband would probably like that better. And I’m standing there wondering why her husband’s opinion is such a big factor in my present.
So she’s picks that one up, pays for it and then puts it into a carrier bag. And that’s the last I ever saw of it.
Now I’m wondering did my present just get given away to someone better? Why not just say you wanted to buy your husband a tin? Where did I come in to it?
So yeah. Can’t say it’s the worst present I’ve received because I didn’t even receive it
