Crap presents.

[Webbo]

When it comes to crap Christmas presents my in laws are the worse. 1 year I got a mug that played the MOTD theme when it had hot liquid inside, hillarious I'm sure you'll agree especially when you're drinking tea and trying to watch the telly .

Another year we got a plastic wash basket but the worse we ever had was a packet of dish washer tablets (because it had a free lasagne dish with it).I really deserved an Oscar that year as I unwrapped the present and pretended to be delighted.

I appreciate it's the thought that counts and tbh I can laugh about it. I just wondered if anybody else has had equally unwanted presents.

I find that really hard - you can tell if it's shit because i'm like...what the fook?

i hate it when "jokers" send you things like a package of batteries that have a tag on them that reads: "gift not included".

My gran is the best for this.

A book entitled Garden Walks of Germany (what the f**k? Never been to Germany, don't particularly intend to and don't like walking. Or gardens. Or of)

A sort of cake tin/food container where it was virtually impossible to get the lid off ("well I went into the shop and I saw this and thought that would be perfect for when you head off to university! and I couldn't get the lid off, and the shop assistant couldn't get the lid off either... so I thought fantastic, it's airtight!" Bizarre).

A lunchbox type thing that was obviously made abroad and said on the front in big letters "Food is the suel of human body - hygienic and delicious!"

She got my mum the same book two years running. She also got my mum an A4 notepad one year in which she had written down in the back all the presents she had got everyone in the family, forgot about it and wrapped it up and sent it as a Christmas present.

One year she got my brother, who was about 13 at the time, some sort of ceramic plate that you put saucepans on.

There have been others which escape me now.

Classic... hilarious!!! Bless 'er.

I once got given a bag of compost - useful, 'cept I didn't have a garden at the time.

And some packets of cat food... which I assumed were for my cat (seemed a tad bizarre, though), only now I look back I wonder if there was some kinda subliminal message intended?

Miaow For the cat surely?

Bloody Hell.....

My gran's sister would get me a £1 gift voucher for boots every year up until she died ( was about 5 years ago)

I mean... what can you buy for £1 in boots!?

[Simi]

See, you know you want one really!

I'll PM you my address.

I have recieved the following:

1. Slippers - I'm 26 for fox sake!

2. Torch - I was like "What on earth"

3. A Tacky T-Shirt saying "My grandmother when to St Ives and all she came back...."

4. Xmas decorations - surely these would have better before hand?

5. Folklore music - Can't stand it!

6. Multi function tape mesure - also has a a torch, for my opinion of a torch see above.

I'm 25 and I'd really like a pair of slippers.

Not for Christmas but for my 18th I was given a lottery ticket and a scratch card off my auntie, Obviously wouldn't have complained if i'd won, but without sounding ungrateful thought it was abit of a bad present.

...

Perhaps I should be worried but... I see some sort of strange logic to this.

She knows you have never been to Germany

and don't have any plans to go there plus you don't like walking

So having a book about these things is the closest you'll ever come to experiencing them

(probably)

You could see it as a very thoughtful gift which aims to expand your horizons perhaps?
