Does your OH ever give you lovely presents?

 

Perhaps it's flowers or choccies...

 

The Boy bought me something lovely, or at least, I think it is....

 

 

 

A new Axe!

 

I love chopping logs for my woodburner,a nd am often out with my chainsaw, axe or 7lb hammer. This is super, and I've already tried it out, it's pretty heavy, but I can get a good swing on it and it splits logs really well!

[xScrunchee]

Aaah bless

The best pressies are ones that people buy us because they think about what we like..

Nice that he thinks of you

 

I think that's very sweet.

[Mrs Frugal]

What a fab prezzie! My best prezzie from LSH was a bucket of frogspawn .

Nice axe Clare - you will obviously only use it in the garden in your bikini in the summer

 

Kate - frog spawn? I dont think i want to know!

[The Dogmother]

 

The Boy really is good at thoughtful pressies. Useful things like the axe, but also pretties too - he once bought me some lovely Elle McPherson undies - just my style, not the usual stuff that blokes buy - he sneaked some of my undies out of the drawer and took them to the shop for size comparison... bless him, at least he didn't get arrested with a bag full of ladies undies

[Mrs Frugal]

Kate - frog spawn? I dont think i want to know!

 

Yes, you do ! I'd got a pond and no frogs and I'd always wanted tadpoles so he got a bucket of frogspawn from this guy at the pub (as you do) and they all turned into tadpoles and tiny frogs! Best ever prezzie . Gave me weeks of fun watching them grow!

Great present Clare looks a mean Axe !

 

best present for me was hubby coming home from work....waking me up at 6am...saying "suprise" and presenting me with 3 chickens he'd brought home

 

Flowers....no.....chocolates.....no...... but chickens!

[theherd123]

I dont know whether to be more worried about you spending weeks frog watching or that your LSH can get frogspawn off a chap in the pub!

 

Im just trying to imagine the scene - your LSH having a quiet pint and in walks this chap, orders his drink & sits next to him - they exchange glances and raise eyebrows to each other.

The chap quickly & quietly asks your LSH if he is looking for any frog spawn - good stuff, just fell off the back of a lorry earlier today going cheap for a quick sale!

 

[Mrs Frugal]

Bit dodgy when you come to think about it, isn't it .

LOL

 

As for frog spawn-what a wonderful pressie. I'd be well chuffed with that myself

[Tina C]

Nice axe

 

(note to self: NEVER fall out with Clare.....)

 

Practical presents are soooo much better than 'romantic' gifts.

 

My OH once bought me a tin of (organic) butter beans - apparently it was going to be either that or petrol station flowers.

[Mrs Frugal]

Tina, that's fab .

[Nicola H]

Nice axe clare.............Enjoy.....

[Snowy]

Very nice axe - hope you have matching yellow crocs!

 

I once got a heat gun paint stripper thingy.

[jan_novice_chicken_keeper]

There is no better present than something you really, genuinely want - no matter how odd it seems to everyone else (even the donor).

 

I'm anticipating my best-ever present will be my eglu and chickens - I have wanted them for ages and DH has always just said no up until telling me he'd arranged them. He once got very excited over a socket set I bought for him..........

 

Enjoy your axe,

 

Jan

[Popcorn]

I was horrified at first. I thought he'd bought you a new washing machine. But an axe......! What a cool present.

[bronze]

Fab

Hubby offered to buy me an axe yesterday too but we've spent so much money recently I told him to hold off. Arent axes not the fabbiest presents ever!

[Hellcat]

Love is - looking at the person you're with and not being able to imagine the rest of your life without them...

 

And then they buy you an axe!

 

To be fair though, you sound delighted. Like me if I get a present like a new climbing honeysuckle or unidentified plant from the local garden centres hospital area

[Egluntyne]

What a beauty......It just needs a Grim Reaper thingy to keep it company!

[Lesley]

a thingy? ..........a scythe??

[Egluntyne]

I was meaning an ....Azada.....

 

Claret will know what I'm on about (I hope.... )

[Cinnamon]

Brian has his good points - he an build a good house for example- but he is rubbish at pressies.

I have to say "I want that BUY ME IT !!!", then he usually gets the hint (eventually)

I once complained that he never bought me flowers,so he got me a cactus as it would last a few years

[AnnieP]

Brilliant Sarah!

I do - but the Grim Reaper never had one
