Everyone sounds like they had a nice Christmas. I received honey and loose tea from my dc. Dh gave me a new frying pan, a sieve, a spring jacket, gloves, a flannel shirt and a chambray shirt.

So fun to hear what everyone one got!

I'm looking forward to "playing" with and enjoying all the things that came my way this year!

DH got me a PowerQuick Pot ( just another brand of InstaPot) and I'm super excited to try it out!

Also received nice heavy weight measuring cups and spoons set - measurements are engraved so they won't wash off like they have on my other sets!

Got a nice slicer/shredded set - it's a box you add the blade cartridge to and as you slice or shred the food is contained in the box. Nice for times I just need to do a little and don't want to haul out the food processor!

Flour sifters, silicone mats, warm cozy socks, gloves, scarf and hat set, slippers and eye mask rounded things out!

From others I got 4 new springform pans, beautiful mug, hand held clothing steamer, jewelry cleaner and a CD.

Lucie, I love the basket.
I gave DD and BF a washing basket full of things for around the house. Toilet paper, dw pods, dw liquid, washing pods, paper towel, anything I could think of to help them out. It took me most of the year to buy 1 or 2 items a shop to fill it. It was greatly received.

Your basket looks amazing.

I usually do that for our kids, including some food items. I didn't do it this year and felt bad...I'll probably try to do it for 2020.

These sound great, the plastic ones lose their labels quickly!

I will do a smaller version for my Mum this year, not a full basket. I like to give things that are useful as well as treats.

My parents gave us a coffee maker (loved my old one but it was leaking half of it out every day, so I had to part with it) and a blender that also cooks. It's neat - you can put raw veggies and water in and it will chop it up, cook it, and puree it into soup. I forsee lots of healthy soup in our future.

I got a nice teacup with a steeper inside and lots of tea, pajamas, knitting needles, and a cookbook full of healthy plant-based meals. I also got lots and lots of chocolate.

That blender sounds amazing! I need to find one! What brand did you get?

It's called the Instant Pot Cooking Blender. (It's also known as the Instant Pot Ace Blender) It can also do almond milk, oat milk etc. It has a soup setting where you throw the chopped veggies in with water and hit the button and it cooks them up and purrees them and makes soup in about 20 minutes. I haven't tried it out yet - hoping to make some soup tomorrow since we're in for a big snowfall

That's the one I just read about. Thank you for the info!
