So, we're clearing the attic bedroom out for a re-vamp
In so doing, I discovered a boxed bottle of vintage Dom Perignon that was gifted to my OH by his boss some years ago, on gaining a First in his degree
As nice a gift as it is, it is kinda 'wasted' on him because he isn't a champagne drinker
So, it just sits, accumulating dust
---
So my questions are:
What lovely gifts have you received that were kinda 'wasted' on you?
What did you do with them, or do you still have them? |

Ive got a cupboard full of boxes of chocolates. Bought for me by some of the loveliest people i know....some of whom know i cant eat chocolate but bought them for me because they're either unusual or looked pretty! I tend to sneak a box or two over to my mums, every time i visit but the pile doesnt seem to go down! |

I remember my Auntie buying me tops and jumpers for birthdays and Christmas in a size medium
I've not been an adult medium since I was about 10 
I did tell her, but still they kept coming |

Uhhhm. Not presents, ppl know to just buy chocolate on that front
But my mum is a charity shop fiend and is always bringing stuff round. Most of it just goes back to charity, I do tell her to stop bless her. |

I have a horrendous dinner set which was a wedding present and has never been used. In fact it could be worth money now seeing as I got married in the dark ages!
And about 8 bottles of champagne from my 40th and 50th! I don’t like it. May make Buck’s Fizz |

Drink them or give them away. We were at a wine tasting thingy recently and the guy doing the presentation said keeping regular champagne for a special occasion is a waste of time as the taste degrades. He said to drink it and enjoy it...all round to yours for Bucks Fizz  |

now I'm imagining myself enjoying a holiday breakfast while Bucks Fizz serenade me over the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. Whilst I deliberate between white, brown or mixed toast encouraging me with a rousing chorus of "making your mind up". |

I had my 40th during lockdown in march. My friend got me my favourite drink. Calvados. It was a expensive bottle.
I drink 2 glasses of it a year. Christmas Eve and New year's Eve.....
This bottle will never get opened... I've got others to get through and I will never live long enough.... |

I’d rather have no gift than an unconsidered gift. Show me that you know me is my mantra when it comes to gift giving. My ex used to buy me cheap plastic landfill junk, despite knowing full well that I hate shit like that |
