This year, we kept Christmas gifts to a minimum - four gifts each.
I got MrsT:
1. A giant lighted rectangular magnifying screen, for reading entire pages of books & magazines without having to move it around.
2. A long-sleeved t-shirt with a flying witch on a broomstick on it that says, “Why yes, I can drive a stick!” - she asked for that a couple of years ago.
3. A leather RFID-equipped passport/vaccine card/credit card holder that matches the new carry-on tote she bought this year.
4. A big Stitch yard inflatable, for next year, obviously.
She got me:
1. A stainless steel Twinings tea tidy (for resting a spent teabag neatly).
2. An Ancestry.com DNA test, which I think is more for her curiosity than mine. My brother did one several years ago, but she wants me to retake it, probably hoping to prove I’m adopted.
3. One of those long-radish spiralizers, so I can make a proper beer garden radish.
4. Another tea gift - a deluxe wooden tea box from Twinings that’ll hold 144 teabags.
Her friend also gets me a couple of small things (though I don’t get her anything). She got me a spice mix for lebkuchen and a little box of wine-filled chocolates (two each of white wine, red wine, champagne, and port).
Also got some nice little treats and things in my stocking. I’ll likely post those up in a bit.
