Kindle rules. I love my paperwhite. My uncle got me a nice kindle voucher, which I’ll spend in no time.
I really like the warm light on the new one. Makes it look even more like the classic novel book paper and is easy on the eyes.

Nothing.
If memory serves, Poison is a perfume, I remember my wife saying, “Have they spelt that right?”
I said, “You may be thinking of poisson, that’s a completely different aroma.”

Sorry to hear that. No doubt he’d have wanted you to celebrate

Because of the kids, myself and the mrs limit ourselves to just one >= £200 pressie.
She wanted clothes this year so I just gave her £200 cash (told her I want receipts because she's a bugger for not spending on herself)
I needed a new gaming headset so she got me a Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 2 & HS2 Stand.
Unfortunately the headset needs to go back as they won't switch on, even after a 12hr charge with a standalone charger.

Good choice, hopefully you get a working set.

I don't really need or want anything, but the usual seeds etc are always welcome and appreciated.
The icing on the cake was the Toshibo SR-1 secateurs.
Nope, cannot unsee the giant penis on the secateurs.

I'm easily pleased
Much awesomeness.
I've never been in one, but my mate's stepdad had a red one that I loved the look of many, many years ago. I still look online for potential ownership.
And to answer the question. I received Amazon vouchers, soaps and toiletries, a new wallet and trendy hooded jacket. All good stuff to me.
My wife's uncle passed away yesterday which set a sad tone for the day. But we made the most of family celebration.
A few Star Wars related things for me.
We and our extended family decided that we don't all need to buy everyone a treat / things they don't need. However to keep with the spirit of things did a secret santa, with just the one person to buy for on a set budget. Worked out well.
Decided it was more for the kids, so our little boy got spoilt by all!
