What did you get?

I received a very large box, fancy wrap; inside was an other even
fancier wrap which I recognised from well-known lingerie (my heart sank;
I CANNOT ABIDE other people buying me underwear, EVER EVER
and had hoped I got that message across several decades ago. Noticed
husband keeping poker face). Small sigh of relief when that turned out
to be just another layer of wrapping . On and on until right in the
middle I found a teeny tiny little metal construction about 3 inches
high, which he had made in his workshop. It's a replica of the real
present which is a lovely garden obelisk to support a clematis.

That's a lovely story Janet.

But did you ask him why he had the lingerie wrap? Not from a gift for
another lady surely?
