So I'm in the last push for Christmas. The weekend was spent solely in the workshop, making up as much stock as I could. Assembling baskets that I made the parts for earlier in the week and then making a batch of my gooseberry scoops.
The gooseberry scoops have sold well this winter, I guess they make a good unusual present to buy a gardener, I'm certainly glad to have their sales, and I hope it brings a few smiles on Christmas morning.
What's the most unusual gift you've been given? One where it took you a while to work out what it was?
Back in the day, our family had a Christmas bingo gift exchange. We piled all the presents up in the middle, played Bingo for a set amount of time with winners getting to get a gift from the middle or steal a gift from someone when the middle ones were all gone. Heavy gifts were usually the most desirable. My eldest daughter won it one year which turned out to be a picture of my brother (staring intently into the camera) taped to a large piece of clay tile. She had that picture on her bedside table for many years staring back at her.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love that! Reminds me of when I'd just left home and had some passport photos done. for some reason they sent me dozens of the photos back, So I hid and stuck them everywhere in my brothers room, he was finding them for months afterwards.
DeleteNot sure about unusual gifts that I've received but I did purchase a rather nicer ledger fishing rod for my ex-wife!
ReplyDeleteLove the gooseberry scopes by the way, great idea.
'scoops' duh!
