I only have one friend with whom I exchange presents and because of *gestures vaguely at everything*, we didn't manage to get together.

But I have £275 in Bandcamp vouchers (!!), an awesome black shawl, some choccies and a very nice handcream.
 
Hate unwrapping stuff in front of people though, even if it's a Zara voucher (it is).
just do what i do - open enough that you can see the gift without others seeing that you can see it, buying you time to form an appropriately convincing response while saying "oh my god" over and over until you absolutely have to commit.

I’d 100% be marking homework with a quill and ink
 
As well as aforementioned performance I have an nice new bag for my business travels, a book, some coffee and a couple of beautiful scandi espresso cups, some special biking trainers that should reduce my injuries by a third and John Cooper Clarks biography
 
And yes I hate opening presents in front of people too, I feel under pressure to come up with a different variation of “oh wow it’s amazing thank you!” for each gift.
 
Adele tickets from Mama Reet (how on EARTH) a voucher for my hairdresser from my beautiful Shan a new fit bit from young Diarmuid, and a Cartier watch from my other half. I have been well and truly spoilt, and I am just sitting taking it all in with large GOLDEN BLOND BAILEYS.
