My DIL gave me the bestest present ever for Christmas, it is a keyring and it has a tag on it which says 'This Nanna belongs to' and there are two little boy shapes with the name of each of my grandsons engraved on the back and a swarovski crystal of each of their birth month. It made me cry when I opened it!

Avo, that sounds like the perfect present, and I would have cried too
I was thinking yesterday that I don't have favourite present this year. I have lots of very nice things, but nothing stands out. The framed photo of DD2 and GD would have to be my favourite, I suppose.
A couple of years ago I was given a cushion which says on it :
GRANDMAS HOUSE
where T..., and E..... get spoilt.
It was my favourite that year and had pride of place on the sofa.

To be fair neither of us need anything but have got some nice pressies however today is a gift to each other. Our very last mortgage payment! We paid one mortgage off and to save the business had to take Out another which was very difficult, we held on to our old house by the skin of our teeth sometimes but managed it and thankfully since moving 15 years ago it has been less difficult. It is a joy to know that we are mortgage free at last. We will have steak and salad and a bottle of good champagne tomorrow evening in celebration. I printed off the bank statement and highlighted the payment and stuck it on the front door for husband to see when he walked through the door! I should say that no figures were showing just in case of the unlikely case of someone coming to the door. He walked in with the paper and said "someone stuck this on the door what is this about?" Sometimes he is just a twit!Last edited by ZIZI; 29-12-2015, 06:18 PM.If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together

My two favourite presents this year are a lovely framed photo with a message about grandchildren being like flowers and how lovely it it watching them grow, with a picture of a little boy on a beach. A closer look, and I realised it was a photo of GS2 and my talented DIL1 (who designed our GRU logo) had made it.
The other present is a fitbit. I think this could become addictive - like today it showed that the bit of hoovering I did burned more calories than walking the dog, I climbed the stairs 13 times and last night I slept for just over 7 hours, woke 3 times and was restless 13 times!
