Christmas 2004 - a bottle of shampoo from husband.

We've been divorced since 2005....

Ha ha ! I love this thread .
I have had a few hideous Christmas presents.Think the worst was a Box of really horrible cheap chocolate and the box was shaped into a chest of drawers made of cardboard which was covered in a a flowery pattern.To add insult to injury they said once I had eaten all the chocolates , I could use it as a jewellery box for my nice things.The same year the same person also gave me a Lenny Henry joke book :eek: Needless to say yes that person was indeed an Ex husband

My sister once got me this ceramic frog toilet brush. It wasn't like a tiny frog either, it was massive. It's lot even like I collect frogs or ceramic animals, or toilet brushes even. It was the most bizarre Christmas present ever. And she doesn't hate me (at least I don't think she does!).

A friend once told me his father-in-law who hated him, gave him a half full bottle of aftershave - and he had a beard.

A hollow wicker crow filled with a handful of Roses chocolates...most being the strawberry cremes that no-one likes!

When I was only 24 my then wife bought me a painting by numbers kit - the following day (boxing day) she started to get really dolled up to go out - I said, 'oh where are we going?' She answered, 'we are not going anywhere. I am.' and she left me - only ever came back to collect her stuff.

I guess she though I needed something to occupy myself once she'd gone....lmao:rotfl:

My grandmother seems to have taken the notion over the last 2 years to get me paper hankies (boxes thereof, not even the pocket packs), a toothbrush & toothpaste. Considering the fact my teeth are not in good shape thanks to my treatment it's something I'm pretty tetchy about - parental unit & sisters have been warned to impart to her that if she pulls that again this year I'm going to kill her with them. (and have been warned that I will go out for Christmas - I can't begin to describe how offensive it actually is!)

This though is the same woman who through the course of time has bought me the following:
pewter cufflinks & tie bar set, despite the fact I don't own a single long sleeve shirt & have no intention to buy one.

a "coin tray" with my name engraved on it

numerous sport themed clocks including 2 years ago the cheapest, tackiest looking football clock intended for CHILDREN - I was 26 at the time.

a shiny foil like wallet emblazoned with the Scotland flag, when I showed this to my elder sister & BIL BIL simply turned round and asked if that was me coming out said item was so camp!

keyrings & pens usually emblazoned with either my name or something like Charles Rennie Macintosh.

and ladies and gentlemen, the ultimate winner, when I was around 15 years old, she bought me a set of FLOWERY PENCILS, which had I taken to school, I would not have seen 16!

Men! Sometimes they just don't have a clue do they?!

His reasoning was 'you're pregnant, so you're going to get fat by the time you drop, aren't you?'.

He became an ex in the end.

I must have been about 7 or 8 and i got presented with this huge box wrapped in christmas wrapping paper. I opened it to find a smaller box which was wrapped. I opened that box to find another wrapped box. I kept opening these boxes to find a small watch inside. I hadnt asked for a watch and it was totally unexpected. I had asked for a walking doll with blonde hair and when i saw the box i assumed i was unwrapping what i had asked for.

Mother found it funny. I didnt.
