    Mrs AA mentioned that she did not mind what she had for Christmas as long as it had diamonds in it.
    So I have bought her a pack of playing cards :D
    One of us smells like a tart's handkerchief.

    I bought my husband some collar stays, a vintage sterling silver money clip and a WWI trench art tea strainer. I have not so subtlety been hinting at an Algerian love knot. I went to the extent of changing his pc wallpaper to a shot of Eva green wearing the necklace. My present have been wrapped and it is in a large box so I do not think that it is. On the plus side is is too large to be socks or playing cards, and too small to be a vacuum cleaner :))
    I've always wanted to have Christmas in Turkey

    Sounds like an OHMSS wedding ring would be also of interest for you ;)

    Yes! I am starting to run out of James Bond items to buy for Adam. And let us be honest I want one for myself too. Alas, the box is too big for Tracy's ring.

    Bought my kids a TV, various Frozen / Turtles / Transformers & Lego bits & pieces. I'm fairly certain that I'll be getting what I got last year (and the previous 10 before that) ... sweet FA!!!! :D
  • VesperMelogranoVesperMelograno The SouthPosts: 901MI6 Agent
    Guessing game. What do you think my husband bought for me? I put the playing cards in the picture so you could judge the size. It is about 3 pounds and makes no sound when you shake it.
