Got given a fairy cake tin yesterday 
The year before last we got given 4 chairs that every time you sat on them they would tip you on the floor.
Both from the same person |

Apart from the jumper my parents got me and the CD I know my daughter has bought for me, the rest were rubbish and they'll all be either used or in the bin by the end of January. Siren isn't the best present buyer by a long shot, but I've got used to it by now. |

"This thread has made me laugh, you do wonder what goes through peoples minds when they buy these gifts"
I've come to the conclusion that nothing goes through their minds at all. Certainly not any feelings of love or consideration for the person they are buying them for. |

Oh i had to laugh, the old guy i had invited for christmas day, kept saying before hand that he would show me his appreciation. He spent the whole day here with full christmas dinner, lots of alcohol and he also had room for tea. He showed his appreciation by presenting me wih a small box of after eights. I didnt expect or want anything but it made me laugh |

Fluffy bedsocks, wouldn't mind but this is the second pair this month my friend has given me. It was she who bought me my onesie last Christmas.
I'm sure she thinks because I'm the only one of her friends who hasn't got a husband to warm me in bed that I need wrapping up well.  |

I spent about £650 on various presents for various people and recieved presents back from the same people, which I would estimate the value of about £30. In some cases the wrapping was more expensive than the contents  and they tell you as you open it "well its not much as it's the thought that counts".......yeah I know fuck all thought where I'm sat!. I really must try it next year and say it to them as they open their shit presents so I can save a shit load of money  |

I know the feeling. Sometimes I feel like wrapping up an empty box and when they open it with a bemused look on their face I say, "It's the thought that counts, think that the box contains something you really want." |

"I (Paul) got a penis mug from my sister inlaw more of a jokey present "
The inlaws do that to me. Got a fucking wooly hat with flaps that come down over the ears and with a bobble on a string on the end of them to tie under my chin. All I need now is a fucking anorak and a pair of glasses with some white tape around the bridge to complete my Gimp Deluxe Outfit. |

If they get me a kagool and not a proper anorak I won't be fucking happy about it.  |

No mate, I'm about as hairy as a snake. I've got very little body hair, although I can grow a good beard. I haven't even got any eyebrows and my arms and legs look like I've got shares in Veet |

I can grow pubes that David Bellamy would feel at home in, but apart from a few loose tummy hairs I'm the same as you. But... I do have a full head of hair that has only just started greying at the temples that I'm quite proud of considering I'm 47. |

Our circumstances are such that we genuinely can't afford to spend much money this year, it was quite tough opening expensive gifts from our.daughter knowing that what we'd given her cost a fraction of what she'd spent on us by fortunately she doesn't have your attitude. |

 In the past I have spent thousands not hundreds on gifts. Circumstances changed for me also and now I cannot afford to be so generous with money.
But, the generosity and love in my heart for those I give gifts to counts just as much with family and friends, than monetary value. Those are life's true friends who accept the person not what they can 'get out of them'. |

Joop? Nah, that's the stuff given to men by women to encourage their more 'gentle' side. Smells like a bottle of feminist pussy juice with some dandelion nectar thrown in to disguise it, but I'm onto them, I know feminist pussy juice when I smell it. |

Some of the responses in this thread have left a distinctly sour taste in my mouth. They're more responses that i'd expect from ungrateful children, not grown adults who should realise we're in a recession.
I'm grateful for each & every gift I received this year. Even if some of them weren't so well thought out, I know they were well meant. |

"One of the boys asked for a spork so I got everyone a spork. I wait to read that the worst present people received this year was a spork.
Whats a spork?"
It's a spoon and a fork in one. |

Got some wonderful presents this year...been a very lucky lady. Did have a bit of a giggle last year when one of my sisters-in law bought me a (very nice) umbrella - I've had to use crutches for the past 14 years - so no hand free to use a brolly |
