Comments

  • well funnily enough I was actually pleased with my box of crap - some of the items I got :
    a belt pouch holder for pruners (useful for hubby)
    a metal drinks cannister with a twist off cup with medical kit inside the cup (son delighted as he's into survival)
    a glass worktop saver
    2 chamelions (plastic things to put up in fence etc in garden :-/)
    1 plastic seahorse (plastic !!!!! really rofl)
    a nice christmas tree thingy that you put a candle in
    4 hand sanitising gel
    lots of football stationary
    some me to you pink lanyards and clips
    monkey teddy thing that sings dances and claps his hands
    a christmas weather vane
    some naff jewellery

    so all in all I think it was worthy of £20 even with the bits i dont want - the drinks cannister alone is worth around £15 :) so im pleased with mine and want to order another one now :-o
  • I got exactly the same as Kirbster and a charger set for phones/ipods etc and a firewire set, a Boffer t shirt and a polo shirt with Rolls Royce logo.
    My box was in the greenhouse when I got home, and it did give me a bit of a fright as the box itself said it contained industrial weedkiller! I wondered who the h*ll had sent me that!
    The seahorse was a brilliant addition! Can you get more tacky?

    It's only a game

    Mine was almost exactly the same and I also got the twitter promo. I got a blue tabbard instead of pruning holder, crap Xmas cards instead of decoupage and faux leather thing with 2 pencil (maybe holds packs of cards?)

    Mine has just turned up well the ex's and it looks great I dont want to open it up too much because I want it to be a surprise. Bit disapointed that it came in a box without a sack... Considering it is a sack of crap. But I will just bug it in a bin bag and stick a bow on it or something.

    So far I can see

    A blue holdall - I might keep that for body disposal
    A rolls royce polo - Great for slumming around in
    Loads of pencils - He's at uni so they are useful
    Come christmas tat - Well it wouldn't be complete without!
    Me to You lanyards - Bring out his feminine side!

    And I could see anything else without digging deeper in! So far I think it's well worth the £20

    I delved deeper, I have no self control:

    Boffer t-shirt
    32F Push up bra :rotfl:
    50 Pencils
    England footie supporters pack
    Iquana <sp!:rotfl:
    2 min travel LED clocks
    Come funky computer cables no idea what they are for
    Something for an i-phone no idea what it is

    And a singing, dancing gorrilla!

    There's loads of other bits in there too.

    Well what a laugh that was! Nice haul really, much the same as you guys but we got a lovely metal Christmas Tree with bells inside thats really sweet and a rather fabulous Belkin AV iPod Charger Dock which plugs into the TV which was ideal for DS's bedroom. Daughter is over the moon with The Who Drumsticks and the Me To You stuff (she's a MTY collector).

    Overall it was a brilliant laugh, next year I shall buy one on the sly and give it DS for Christmas.
