I already have so much of what I need, and these days there is little extra that I want to add to that, but consumables or usable things that I like to use regularly are always very welcome.
So every year for Christmas, almost since the year we met over twenty one years ago Alan has bought me a supply of my favourite body cream for Christmas, and occasionally for my birthday too. Sometimes it's six tubs and sometimes it's three ... so I do get a surprise. My gift comes in those particular numbers as very regularly this particular cream is on offer in Boots the Chemist on a '2 for the price of 3' offer, and sensibly Alan takes advantage of this.
Why do I like this one so much, well it doesn't bring me out in a rash as so many scented creams tend to do, and almost as important I can remember the scent of it. So with me still having no sense of smell I at least know what I smell like immediately after a shower.
Last year he bought me six tubs and I still had one left over from the previous year ...
... this is what I have left this morning.
Will I make it until Christmas Day? 🤞
He used to buy his Mum Fenjal products every year without fail, and I used to wonder if she was happy with that. Now I know for sure that she probably was really happy, and Alan is happy that there is at least one present that he doesn't have to think too much about that he knows will always make me happy.

I hope you mean 3 for the price of 2 or you'd better tell Alan he's onto a loser. Ho hum - I love Fenjal also, perhaps it's a mum thing. Read your blog(s) for years and always enjoy hearing from you. Thanks for sharing, love to you both, Elaine
