I know it's all about giving, and I was delighted that my hyacinth baskets were a great success, but what did you get from your families/friends that you really liked? I got some Garden Vouchers! Thrilled to bits - I'll enjoy spending those next year. ;D Great new books to read, too.  Obviously, my new laptop is the star. Thank you husband!  |

That sounds beautiful! Will you wear it all the time, or just for 'special' occasions? |

Fantastic, you are very lucky Lesley. Are you going to need new gardening gloves as well because you won't want to get your eternity ring dirty.
I received some lovely presents but nothing gardeningy at all (but bought a nice pair of purple wellies today) and my fingers are crossed for my purple wheelbarrow for my Birthday.
The best present we gave were the a set of 180 stickers for our daughters, each printed with their name and motif (Rose and Pirate). Each time they opened present such as books or things in a box, they stuck their name on it. Best idea that I have had in ages.
I was most excited about the remote control helicopter and table football set that I bought for my husband but he has not had a chance to build it / fly it outside. He spends so much time working and I think that it was about time he had a bit of fun as well. |

Moonlight, you will have to point out that garden vouchers start at £5.00 and they soon add up if you get these for Mothers' Day, birthdays, etc.
