My friend once got a comb and a chocolate santa...with it's head caved in.

From his mum.

He was in his mid 30s at the time.

For my 21st Birthday, my Dad bought me a 99p digital watch from the local garage. As I had already purchased myself a Sekonda a Year prior that was still accurately telling the time, I opted to stick the digital in a drawer, never to be seen again.

my ex brought me a tv ariel one year, and another year two pairs of trainers both a size and half too small so he could get them from the kiddie department and not pay tax

he also brought me an xbox once with loads of shooting and racing games (I dont do game consoles or shooting and racing games), strangely enough I never touched it at all

Well, not me but my husband once received an electric razor in its box but with no cellophane cover. It looked suspiciously like it wasn't quite new and this was confirmed when he found a whisker in it.

I asked to borrow my ex mil's epilator as I was considering buying one and wanted to check it wouldn't be a waste of money. It wasn't working so well so I dismantled it and found it was so clogged with pubic hairs it wouldn't spin anymore *shudder* needless to say I now shave lol
