It's almost Christmas when we get gifts from various people if lucky.
As a kid I had a hand me down girls bike in red and gold.There was no denying...it was a girls bike and as a consequence I'm still a half decent cyclist as I Damn near rode that bike everywhere at mach 10 to avoid being seen.
What dubious gifts or disappointment have you received as a gift ? |

I don't think I've ever been disappointed in a gift.
When I was 11 my mum gave me some green eye shadow for Christmas which I plastered on about an inch thick in order to impress the 16 year old boy next door when we went for Christmas cups of coffee. The eye shadow made my eyes puffy and if he noticed me at all it would have been because I looked as if I had a terrible disease  . Si I was disappointed in the effect my gift had but not the gift itself |

"A china fox in a glass dome with a piece of rope wrapped round it and plastic foliage ! From an ex ! It went in the bin when he wasn't looking !  "
There has to be a subliminal message there ? or maybe he had it free from readers digest and you were first person on the offload list ! |
