Yes I know it’s still October but tomorrow the lady wife and my good self are taking the day off work to get all the Christmas shopping done in one hit, looking at the list of purchases ahead I started to think of gifts of the past and wondered what was the worst gift I’ve got for my wife, I’m not saying what it is but it does get mentioned occasionally, anyway, what’s the worst gift you’ve ever received for Chrimbo? |

Ex bought me a teapot
His extended family bought me plates, bowls, cups. I was lucky enough to have a whole dinner service
I wouldn't have minded so much, but we had only been dating a matter of weeks
I have also had...
A chair
Some biscuits ( from a multipack)
A watch ( that I subsequently found out was off the back of a lorry)
Some cookery books
And a book on potty training
I am a very lucky girl
Actually, someone gave me a gift today
Three croissants
A packet of crab sticks ( unlabelled and undated)
And enough mushrooms to feed the whole street
This was given with love though. So I'll let her off

One Christmas, a book ‘Conversations with God’ from the boyfriend at the time and I knew it was a book he wanted to read! It cost £5.99. Price tag on the back.
I was at his parents, when his Mum asked me what he gave me. I could see she and the Dad were embarrassed too. They were over nice to me the rest of the day...
He was very very tight with money. There were quite a few bad presents...
A manual juicer? really tacky costume jewellery... the kind that looks like bling from primark...

Big Mouth Billy Bass.
With a Santa hat on.
That sang Christmas songs.
My ex's step mum was a bugger for Christmas presents, with the emphasis on Christmas. So you'd be there on 25th of December, unwrapping something that you'd be shoving in the loft on 6th January.
I lost track of most of them, but the singing fish is something I've always been unable to blot out. |

Years ago the wife bought me a chunky cream jumper with some elaborate patterns and fat brown buttons. She could immediately tell i didn't like it so tried telling me i looked really classy in it, like Jude Law (i really, REALLY didn't). It went back in January.
I've more than returned the favour with 1 or 2 shockers of my own. I do find i'm getting better at gift buying as i get older though.

I brought my ex wife seat covers for a ford capri we had an Orion
Car care kit
Some flowers
And a big bar of fruit and nut
All at 10 on Christmas Eve now I thought between me and the little man in that petrol station had done bloody well being Christmas Eve
And she had the cheek to say I had made no effort
20 minutes I was in that bloody petrol station   |

Thanks for your concern. He always thought I drank too much.
What was hilarious was it proved my liver was in better condition than his . |

"An ex sister in law bought me a copy of The Guinness Book Of Records. I was 33 at the time, not 13...... 
I'll wager a bet you read it
I did substitute a few random facts for the game of Trivial Pursuit which they bought me the year after  "
Good man 
See I can behave good |
