EVERYONE gets that one Christmas present that usually leaves them asking a few questions and it would seem Stephen Flynn is no different.
The MP has joked about his “best Christmas present” given to him by his mum which has left social media users in stitches.
The SNP Westminster leader took to Twitter/X to share that he had recently returned from visiting family.
He said: “Unpacking after a few days away visiting family. Instantly reminded of my best Christmas present.”
This was followed by an image of “strengthening caffeine shampoo” and Flynn’s post added: “The sort of hope only a Mum can have.”
Many users in the comments reacted with several laughing emojis while another shared an anecdote about how their auntie once brought back toothpaste from Europe only to remember the people she was giving the gift to had lost their teeth.
“Maws, you’ve got tae love them,” said another social media user while a third person commented: “Harsh! and a fourth described it as "brilliant".

Another said it was the “best Christmas-related tweet ever” and another account added: “Can anyone beat @StephenFlynnSNP’s mum as @politicaltrims gift buyer of the year?”
Don’t worry Stephen, you’re unlikely to be the only person to get a Christmas present they weren’t quite expecting.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
