Gifts From Christmases Past

After the holidays, we're going to add up all of the presents that were under the tree. Has Santa Claus given you everything that you wrote on your Christmas list, or are there a few gifts that you weren't expecting to get? ?

Shelbe, Aude and Noémie remember gifts that they have loved (or not!) from Christmases Past.

My Top :
When I was 6 years old, I got a cute Labrador dog. It was the nicest dog that I ever had!
A plane ticket to visit my (then) boyfriend and (now) husband. As I was a student, I didn't have enough money to pay for it myself, so that was really nice.

My Flop :
A card bought at Casino with pictures of cats on it and a message saying: "I'll buy you whatever you want." He must have just grabbed the first one he saw!

Noémie, Buying Assistant

My Tops :
To me, the present that has the most value had been offered by my grandmother. She offered me one of her engraved jewellery pieces. It's the meaning of the present that touches me.
An invitation to a dinner and show in a Parisian cabaret! I love this atmosphere. It's even better than musical comedies. You have to see one at least once! Great memories...

My Flop :
The worst present that I ever got was an over flowery coffee set. It's the kind of thing that you need to bring out when you invite the person who gave it to you! And I don't even drink coffee!

My Tops :
Four years ago, my family offered me a digital camera. I didn't take a lot of pictures before that, but that was just what I needed. Since then, I always have it with me, especially in the mountains. A little guitar with my name engraved on it that my brother made when he was a teenager. I still have it.
