I too bought my Christmas present from the boys, so much easier than the time I asked for a cool T-shirt, thinking they would buy me one with a cool band or Kenzo tiger or something Japanese (why I thought they were mind readers is beyond me). I got given a Pokémon character t-shirt in a mens size S, so uncool and unflattering. Lesson learned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-version-of-an-old-favourite#post-2245543 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 02:08:19 +0000 Brooklyn 2245543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s is lovely. And yes to signature!</p> <p>I choose my own signature gifts too. My mum gave me these bangles for Xmas (I ordered them). She said “I don’t know why you want them when you already have them”. (I do already have them in gold.) I just said “I need a pair in silver because they are signature”. We’ve all learnt from Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-version-of-an-old-favourite#post-2245536 Mon, 27 Dec 2021 01:11:42 +0000 ANewMindset 2245536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL!!!

Buying the gift myself is the only way I’ll get something. My DH very sweet did lovely craft type gift because he could not figure something out I would not return. 2 yr ago he got me the Apple Watch I wanted and picked out. Dear man, I think next year it will be the Lagos watch strap in stainless. Hum do I just order it, surprise, thanks so much baby how did you know? print it out and put it in his to do pile? Sounds like you have the family trained!! Plus it looks fab on you.

Thoughtful children! :)<br />In our family I usually threaten my DH with another sweater for him as a Christmas present. Nothing he would dislike more Years ago I used to buy him at least one. In my defense, he used to buy me a box of delicious chocolates and then promptly eat most of it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-version-of-an-old-favourite#post-2245498 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 21:58:30 +0000 Anonymous 2245498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-new-version-of-an-old-favourite#post-2245483 Sun, 26 Dec 2021 19:29:52 +0000 Sal 2245483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great Helena - signature indeed!</p> <p>And family dynamics are hilarious.

I've been waiting all my life to hear that explained so well! The last 30 years and the first 17 for me have been all about that, including my own significant contribution.

My kids bought this for me for Xmas (by this I mean, I bought it and signed the card from them )</p> <p>DHs hilarious reaction ... "Oh look, it's the same sweater you've been wearing for 20 years" ... Because sarcasm is the love language of the B household *rolls eyes* I just informed him it's signature (Angie's voice in my head!) </p> <p>Hope everyone who celebrated had a lovely Xmas yesterday!
