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.

Ooh that’s nice of them, looks lush! What kind is it?
Trying to figure out how to share a story related to my (tiny, insignificant and not worth me trying to shill) YT channel without it coming across as self promo. Sod it.
Basically there’ve been a few occasions where someone who watches my channel was looking to get rid of craft stuff, and thought I might find a use for it. And it just blows my mind that people are so generous and thoughtful like that.
I’m now the proud owner of an encaustic art kit, a load of cross stitch frames, and a whole washi tape collection sometime was getting rid of!
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 😅
Well it’s just gone four now. A cup of tea and a slice of that fine cake would go down nicely…
Though the gift is great, especially these Sacher Cakes are so darn dry. Tasty, but you need a can of coffee or cocoa to get a piece of it down (the box is great for storing things, though).
Ate it with some whipped cream and a coffee to go with it. Was fantastic. Plus we made a big deal of it and had it together as a family. Good times.
Give that Viennese a whirl!
