  • I once had an umbrella from an Aunt! Luckily she had sent it up and I didn't have to open it infront of her!
    Made my family laugh thou!

    I got an umbrella from my aunt too, but I thought it was brilliant. Practical, and not something I would get round to buying myself.

    Have actually got an umbrella on my Xmas list this year too.
  • Men always buy you presents that they really want for themselves... usually gadgets or games.
    From female rellies, I always ask for gardening-type presents, and I always get bath stuff. I have a skip full of bath salts, lotions, shower gels...I'll be recycling them back to the rellies this year :)
  • I think my favourite (worst) had to be from my (soon to be) MIL...she bought me a book the first Christmas me and OH were together. The blurb read that it was about a young girl who thought she was in love but she wasn't really.

    Said it all!
  • Oh SPARKY16, that was so cruel!
    It wouldn't go past page 3 on the old thread and I so looking forward to reading them all.

    I haven't had anything really bad but OH's Granny and Aunt used to buy really cheap stuff and leave the price label on half the time. One year they got me a revolting matching camisole and french knicker set in an awful peachy colour and miles too big.

    When I was a kid I had an Aunt who used to buy practical presents which other relatives made fun of but actually I was really pleased with the things she got me.
    Examples are one of those rubber shower attachments that fit on the taps and also a lilac plastic cape to protect your clothes when putting on makeup or washing your hair which I thought were ace!

    I think my worst ones were a dove gift set from pound land I know that because the writing was in french and a box of ferror roche choc I was well disappointed because I dont spend much on xmas cause I buy all my pressies in the January sales and throughout the year so for me it pays to be organised but this year I may just take a trip to poundland ...................:)
  • I was sent an 18th birthday card one Christmas by a daft old aunt, there were two important points she missed, my birthday is in July & I was already 25 at the time.

    LuciferTDark you are not the only one to get strange cards. When my ex husband & I married a few days before Xmas one of his friends didnt buy a special card. He used an Xmas one, crossed out the word Christmas and sustituted weddding so that the inside read "may this be your best wedding ever"!
    We were 18 and 24 years old at the time so not exactly got a mass of ex spouses between us.

  • Not a xmas present, but, when D/H and I were " courting" and in the honeymoon period of first love, he had to go away to work for 3 weeks I missed him so much and counted the hours till he came back. The day arrived and after flinging myself in to his arms he presented me with......................

    a yorkshire pudding tin !!!!

    I had never cooked yorkshire puddings in my life at that point.

    I have got to say his present giving skills have not improved much, but he is wonderful in all other ways.
    Away with the fairies.... Back soon
