Oh god, some rubber torch set thing that I got from an old neighbour about 25 years ago. Think it went in the bin a couple of days later (the stench of rubber was unbelievably over powering lol). |

I collected my friend from the airport yesterday and she handed me a gift when she got in the car. Clearly in a state of massive jet lag she picked something up at Amsterdam airport when she knew I was coming to pick her up. My only assumption is that she thought it was a candle holder when it is in fact a wasp catcher. I live in a flat. 
I can't decide whether to tell her or not.  |

Is she staying with you? If so stick a candle in it whilst she's there, see what happens |

No she lives in her own flat here... she was coming home from visiting her sister. I've hung it in the kitchen for now... I'm sure my folks will appreciate it in the summer given they have an actual garden. |

I once received back the present I'd given my sister in law 5 yrs previous. It was a Boots perfume set with out of date vouchers inside and a couple of the perfumes she'd already used!? In her defence we don't get on! X  |

I did well this year - booze, chocs, and slipper socks (so toasty!)
I was once given a plastic pen in the shape of a tree, and a tie-dye wife beater. Some people are just better at presents as others. |

I've got a bag full of tat I'll never ever use from my mother in law. It's in the cupboard under the stairs and the contents gradually distributed to church fairs and charity collections through the year, as per.
I think the highlight was the mustard coloured scarf which is possibly the most unflattering colour I've ever seen in my life. |

We didn't really do presents this year but I did receive the odd one from friends. One of these is a strange felt penguin that doesn't really look like a penguin and appears to have no use but to attract dust and lint.
The worst ever was one from Mum, many years ago. It is was a draught excluder that appeared to be stuffed with all manner of old clothes. It was HUGE, an ugly pinky beige material and so lumpy that it couldn't lay flat.

Ah the passive aggressive present. I was given the most hideous black necklace by my now ex-boyfriends mother. She absolutely hated me |

My Mam bought me not one but two sets of anti wrinkle creams. I burst out laughing when I opened them - her hearts in the right place though. In her defense I look like shit |

Wasn't this year but when me and my ex lived together he bought HIMSELF a wii console for MY Christmas present...made clear by the fact that he asked me beforehand and I said I didn't want one, he was the only one who played it, and he said as soon as I opened it that if we broke up it was staying with him.
The relationship didn't last much longer after that...

No imagination! |

We also do a stocking for each other, have for the past thirty years, and get the bits when we finish work on Christmas Eve.
I was in Marks and Spencer when she rang, she wanted to know if I'd finished as she just had.
I asked where she was, Poundland.  |
