Happy Sunday folks!
Got the wean’s girlfriend visiting from Austria for the week and look what their Dad brought as a gift!
Would love to hear of some interesting/peculiar gifts that folk have unexpectedly received? I was absolutely blown away by getting this and it’s just such a nice wee gesture that I was blown away.
It’s a chocolate cake with apricot jam apparently.
And a bit of self promotion is never unwarranted! These wee kinds of totally unexpected gifts are my absolute favourite. I loathe getting presents generally; and hate the kind of obligation folk feel on Xmas and birthdays, so when someone goes out their way to do something like this I just adore it. Even better when someone is getting shot Or something and thinks of you and keeps it aside! TIL what encaustic art is as well, so cheers for that!
I didn’t know either until she messaged me asking if I wanted the kit! Guess I have a reputation for trying anything once (this is correct).
I’m the same as you with gifts usually, sick of telling people I don’t need anything for my birthday. For Christmas in our house we’ve started just setting a hard and fast budget so at least I know I’m not about to be ambushed with something unnecessarily expensive 😅
