Great Hunt: What's the worst Christmas present you've ever received?
Comments

My 13 year old got Jack Wills gift set and Lynx gift set full of bath/shower/hair products.
She cant use them - we spent several months when she was younger finding products she could use without irritating her skin.
Who bought her them? Her dad! She was not impressed.
Her sister is delighted

The pen is mightier than the sword lol.My (now ex-)MIL gave me a book entitled "Good Wives?", about a month before my husband and I made our separation official! (And on the next Mother's Day, which happened to coincide with my birthday, I got a present from my husband although we were separated and planning to divorce. It was a book called, "The Bad Mothers Club".) Interesting, would you say?Britain is great but Manchester is greater0 -
My husband went to a great deal of time and effort to make me my own stocking this year. However one of the presents he picked was a packet of wet toilet tissue! (in his defence he though they were facial wipes - which I do use). He also bought me some really lovely presents including a day at a spa, unfortunately when someone asks what I got for Christmas.....Re-mortgaged 20/04/12 MTiT-T3 No.7Start balance £89611.10 + £22500 = £112111.10/Current balance £85436.53
