Harriet Crawford

I work in retail. Sold an ironing board cover to a young man to give his mum for Christmas. Persuaded him to get a gift receipt for it......

My son, who was 12 at the time, received a gift pack of mustard seeds from a relative!

Lesley Watt

As a kid, I got a potato clock.

Theresa Morgan Cruz

Pyjamas that were a good three sizes too big. Glad I keep them as Covid has done a number!

Yvonne Mclennan

Weirdest gift for Christmas my mum bought me a bright red coat size 20 - I’m a size 10/12 – with lots of buckles. It looked like Santa’s. But yesterday was my birthday and she gave me a baby changing bag – my eldest is almost 20!

Pauline McEwan

When I first met my bf he bought me a bathrobe for my first Christmas with him. I'm petite, size 10 but he thought it was one size fits all and bought me a size 22. The assistant when I took it back struggled not to laugh as she looked at the size of me and the size of the bathrobe. I got to exchange it for a size 10.

Jean Campbell

A deluxe deep fat fryer.

Courtney Paterson

Factor 50 sun cream.

Anyone not want a Roomba robot vacuum?

Love the rivalry, but football is only a game. You guys just went that extra mile. We are all humans and need each other. We need more of this.

Mary Skeldon

Well done to you all. Have a lovely Christmas and stay safe from Hearts fans!

New Sonny Murray

Am a Celtic fan but proud of the Rangers fans for doing that for the old guy, hope they all have a good Xmas

PD DaCool Dk

To do this, at this time and in this crisis, really shows, that someone really cares. I dinnae think that this elderly resident could have had a better Christmas present than this. Well done guys. Btw, binmen and cleaners are the most important job. Have a Merry Christmas, take care and stay safe, from a Celtic supporter.

A rare good news story, but why should it be exceptional? I don't understand why supporting one team means the supporters of other teams are mortal enemies- sometimes literally.

Ian Gardiner

A touch of class, well done guys.

Ian Wishart

Probably found it in a bin!

Carol Davis

True football supporters, well done.

Fiona Duncan

Well done guys, we also have an amazing crew. There's never a Tuesday morning goes by without one of them waving and during the lockdown they were asking if we were OK. There's something special about the West Lothian crews. Keep up the great banter, you are all amazing.

Alexander Imrie

Rangers fans see the light at last! Fantastic gesture, all the best.

Eileen Dick

What wonderful binmen you are. You will have made an elderly gentleman so happy. Well done.

Donald McWilliams

Well done lads, hope you all have a great Christmas, from a Hearts fan.

Drew McAdam

God bless 'em. If more folk were like that...

Gail Armstrong

Well done to you guys. The world needs more of this.
