1. What is the worst present you have ever had?
I once had a great aunt who, when I was a child, used to bestow the most hideous cat ornaments upon me. She was adamant that I had to collect something, some of them were truly awful even at the age of ten.
2. What is the worst present you have ever given?
I thought it was a great gift, but I got MIL a Jo Malone like, basil & mandarin perfume & candle set as a wedding thank you present. I found the candle (expensive three wick!) stashed unused in the back of a cupboard four years later.
3. Dark, white or milk chocolate?
Milk or white.
4. Traditional tree with lots of tinsel or restrained elegant tree? Or in between? Or both?
Both! We have the tasteful matching silver decorations MrD used before I can along and added my Paperchase atrocities and the kids’ works of arts have improved things further.
5. Do you like homemade gifts?
Yes!
6. Would you like something to do or something to look at?
Something to do, probably.
7. Do you prefer something to wear or something to eat?
Something to eat, all day long.
8. Do you like doing crafts, if so what sort?
Not at all crafty but I wish I was. I like colouring in but have a zillion books already.
9. Do you like tiny hand creams and lip balms?
I don’t use hand cream and I have a lot of lip balms on the go.
10. Do you like bath bombs or do they make you itchy?
Lush is amazing, say no more.
11. What would you hate to get?
Novelty items.
12. Do you have pierced ears?
Yes, but I rarely wear earrings.
14. Would you like jewellery or perfume or nail varnish?
I chew my fingers nails right down
so don’t have much use for nail polish. I wear jewellery even less now than before Covid but perfume would be a winner.
15. Would you accept alcohol?
Yes, an espresso martini or a Baileys would be great!
16. What about non-alcoholic drinks?
I cannot get on board with fruity or floral teas, as much as I want to. I only really drink coffee shop or coffee machine coffee. So maybe not.
17. What would kill me?
I am not risky to buy for!
