Crap Christmas and/or birthday presents

DG can take the blame for this post after reading a comment of his, but what is the most inappropriate, rubbish or otherwise Christmas or Birthday present you’ve been given. Genuine tales of woe rather than something made up. Thumbs Up

my brother in law and I got exactly the same from our father in law on our first year of being related, a twin pack of the small steamed puddings, the ones the size of a normal yoghurt!

Rolling with laughter Bow down

I recall getting a pair of Lee Cooper jeans off a partner for my 40th, she Censored off a month later for pastures new, so maybe I was lucky to get that. Laughing

Scotland 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 XS Manual Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

Father in law (deceased) was called John. Some years after his demise my mother in law was clearing out some stuff and came across a 3 pack of gents monogrammed hankies! Lucky for her her three son in-laws were called John so we all got a monogrammed hankie for Christmas that year. God she was real miserable old sod.

Daughter not much better though. The company she was is a director with got sold so her barrow load of share options got exercised. Three days after her large pot of gold went into her account it was my birthday. Well hope springs eternal , I got a 1/4 of wine gums which she proceeded to help me eat then borrowed 3 one pound coins for the car park in Glasgow.

Just waiting to be surprised on Father’s Day! Some hope.

Ah, carbolic soap, pears soap and the like. Brut was the aftershave of choice for teenagers then. It went everywhere you didn’t wash. Rolling with laughter

Sound like your wife and my ex were related John. Wink

Talking of which my dear old mother was given linen Hankies by her sister in law one Christmas and one of the hankies was used. She never got over the shock. Shocked

Obviously the hammer was to smack her head with and the pliers to remove her teeth so she couldn't be identified by dental records Thumbs Up
If you get a shovel and some bags of lime this year then you just need some gloves .....

I got fed up with the crap presents at Christmas from my in laws and asked them to not buy me anymore presents ever. I would rather they made a donation to the last chance rescue centre.

Apparently it is not the done thing. Shocked
