My MIL got me a large jumper with a clown on it complete with wool bobble on the end of it's hat and the end of it's nose.

The jumper would have fit my 18stone 6foot 3inch husband (and did) he tried it on after we had drunk far too much.

I don't know what comes over her when she is shopping for me, perhaps the same thing that came over sil when she bought me an olive oil drizzler that looked like one of those things mechanics have.

When i was 18 a ex boyfriend brought me a Hand towel a tea towel and a fluffy cat that looked like it had been attacked.The dog loved it though

My partner who i have 3 children with and have been with for 11 years has never brought me anything.

Not sure whats worse

I'm usually really grateful for anything and I'm really easy to please (love chocs, wine, toiletries and make up). However..

My now ex husband got me a Westlife CD. That may not mean much to some of you, but to an Indie chick who had never given any indication AT ALL of even listening to them on the radio, never mind wanting their CD it was the last straw.

The year after, I had split up with my husband at the end of Oct so I took my daughter up to my parents house for xmas. I live in Dorset so it was a long way to travel with a 3 year old on my own. Xmas morning comes and my younger sister started to open all of her presents, I gave my folks their presents, I gave my sister her presents and they gave my daughter her presents. I did not have 1 present to open!! My mum just said 'I didn't know what to get you so I'll get you something in the sales if you want'.

Somebody I used to work with told me that her husband once bought her a rug for xmas! She went mad. It was a nice, very expensive rug but it was a rug all the same.

She told him to stick the rug where the sun doesn't shine and he said 'well it was either that or a dyson and I didn't think you'd appreciate that!' We laughed our heads off when she told us but she wasn't impressed.

Few years ago one of my neighbours was SO excited about her Christmas present since her boyfriend kept hinting that the present will be really special and something that she have wanted for a while. Since there had been some vague conversations regarding marriage, she was convinced it will be a proposal and a lovely ring.

Imagine her surprise when it was pet rat... Her boyfriend thought she was feeling a bit lonely and a pet would help...

A dented tine of stuffed aubergines from the local shop, bought on Christmas Eve, with not just the price but the reduced price left on. From my husband, to whom I am still, miraculously, married.

Turning it on its head, one year when we were seriously broke, I bought my mother a soft pink M&S jumper (she claimed endlessly that no-one made round-necked jumpers any more). She unwrapped it, saying 'whoever thought I'd wear something in this horrible mucky colour?', and didn't even take it home with her. I wrapped it and posted it to her for her birthday in April.
