So we had the bag of xmas presents from FIL and evil SMIL this weekend, as they have moved to the USA

As usual we open the early for a laugh! Some of you will remember what Izzy got last year!

So this year:

Me - nothing, oh well thats a relief, althogh she did send Dan home with some pants that didnt fit her 'new from the box' apparently, but about 5 sizes too big for me

Dan - Abs Exerciser DVD...fresh from the magazine it came free with no doubt

Izzy - yellow shower cap - with some stitching undone
The Human Body Book - for ages 7 years plus
A small shopping bag
A very tatty toy from the 80s that is actually quite grotty

and - actually quite sweet, some fluffy pink slipper boots...in size 8

OMFG!! I hope you relegat them to the same place as the garden flag!!!

They are not on this planet!!!

Yup

I am really quite tempted to wrap the flag up and send off to them for xmas....as we hadn't got anything for them yet!

I swear she just collects up crap from around her house and wraps it up for Izzy

Lmao, I love crap presents! My nanna's losing the plot a bit and every year theres a competition to see who gets the worst!

I thoughd I'd one last year with my set of coat hangers but my grandad pipped me to the post with his plastic computer protectors, he doesn't even have a computer!

hahahahahha!!! Poor nanna!

One year she bought all the men in my family silk boxers saying sex bomb on them!

lol ,,,, oh me you should send them some verucca socks from izzy for christmas and a wee note that says not you will match me with my plastic shower cap !

The shower cap is the best Why does a baby need to keep their hair dry?! Caitlin has more hair than izzy and it drys in about 5 min naturally! Also toddlers hair is usually the grubbiest bit of them and needs a wash, strange!!!

They clearly havent a clue! x

Haha that's great!! Not a clue!! x

That made me laugh what planet are they on!

Thats very amusing. My MIL brings over strange things but they are usually useful like toothpaste or meat

Lol, what an odd mil you have!
Has she had children herself? she just seems so completly clueless!

Lol Kayleigh my nan's getting like that! last year all the grand daughters got sequined hats for xmas, £1 from primark tho lol
She cracks me up! we all actually had to wear them to keep her happy as well, i dread to think what we will get this year!

Oh dear....

pmsl laughting, i would send the flag back now, its been long enough!

my nan gives us ramdon stuff, some years i wish she wouldny bother bless her.

i got her a nice diary set and note set one year like 2006 or some thing n then 209 my mum got it for xmas!! x

at least you get a laugh from it, my MIL bought us a multipack of andrex last year!

No Kell - never had chidlren even though Dans dad did...she took the pill while they were 'trying'
I know its her that 'buys' this stuff though cos FIL is never in the UK!

Omg they have no idea do they xx
Hope u dont buy them lovely gifts xx

She sounds like a right weirdo, why not just be honest and say she didn't want kids?

Absolutely fecking hillarious but infuriating at the same time. Glad you knew to expect crappy gifts. I think we need a pic of Izzy modelling her shower cap

Oh yes, i vote for a pic too!

LMAO! I'm still laughing at the yellow shower cap! WTF? How in the world did your Dan come from these two strange strange people? Now..Lisa..that garden flag was just simply gorgeous and every 1 year old is just dying to have one..stop being a kill joy!

Lmao, maybe the flag was a keeper present and she'll love it when she's older

Just when you thought they couldn't top the birthday hat and flag!!!!
