One Christmas, my brother, who was 18 at the time, bought my husband a woollen balaclava. It wouldn't have been odd, except for the fact that my brother knew we were moving to the tropics in a few months! I just about rolled on the floor laughing when my husband opened the present, much to my brother's embarrassment! :lol: My husband seemed quite pleased with the gift, though, luckily.

A few years later, we moved north to a colder climate, where the winters were much harsher than any I've ever endured in Caithness. Lots of snow, ice, and subzero temperatures! :eek: So my husband was finally able to put the balaclava to good use, and was especially glad of it when he went cross-country skiing. In fact, he still has the balaclava to this day, and it still brings a smile to my face when I think of when he was first given it! :grin:

When I lived abroad my auntie and uncle sent me fleece lined thermal gloves for xmas we took a photo of me in my shorts and t-shirt out in the blazing sun with my new gloves on.
