When we was a kid my friend gran knitted him a top and the pattern was circles.. he hated it so much he stood against the wall we stood so far apart and threw snowballs at it and judged our points on what circle you hit

Jings I've a few pressie horrors
One year my partner's mother gave me a bottle of aftershave with a lovely sticker on the back saying SAMPLE not for resale, the house was full of people when it was opened, I dunno who was more embarrassed.
Another time my (now ex) friend gave me a second hand copy of this game:

How did I know it was second hand? (apart from the tattieness of the box!) I was with her mother 3 weeks earlier when she bought it for 25p in a charity shop How to be a complete bitch indeed!!
And last year was the classic another supposed mate gave me a doorstop (in the shape of a cat) why was this so bad?, He was aware that I was withholding rent from my Landlord due to the gaps in the windows & the flat being freezing cold! (the cherry on top was that it came from Poundland!!)

My Uncle once gave me an audio cassette (remember those?) of the greatest hits of the Beatles. The tape was a bootleg and it was warped and would play back at funny speeds - even cutting off in the middle of a song at the end of side 1. What a wonderful, thoughtful Christmas present! LOL! I was very young and have since heard the Beatles songs as they're supposed to be. Funny though, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds sounded much more psychedelic on that warped tape!

I've still got some 8-track cartridges of the Fabs.

I used to have an 8-track cartridge of The Carpenters. Thankfully I never had an 8-track player - I think listening to that would have made my brain hemorrhage!

A Nasal hygiene trimmer which was broke
Probably why they never included the batteries.

This years was a 5 pack of Ben 10 underpants from the missus's auntie, age 5 - 6.

A tyre pressure guage for motorbikes.

Only... I never had a motorbike.

(It was actully for my brother, and included in my stuff by mistake. Had to be wrapped up again hastily before he woke up)

Speaking of my brother, one time I got him a bottle of bubblebath shaped like a Cyberman (annoyingly, if I'd waited a week, I could've had it signed by Tom Baker who was visiting the shop I got it from - grr!) anyways, when I got it home it'd started to leak and was all slimy. So I put it back in the plastic bag, wrapped that up in paper, and pretended that it'd started leaking after I'd wrapped it. Heh.

Worst Christmas present? Have a go at this. Way way back when I was like 16 or something I was dating this girl. She was a full-on Christian, I loved death metal. We'd been dating for maybe a year around Christmas and she asked me what I'd like as a present. I brought her to one of my favourite record shops at the time and showed her what I wanted. "Get me this!" I said. It was a vinyl copy of "Blood Fire Death" by Bathory. The amazing cover art is a piece by Peter Nicolai Arbo and is entitled "Åsgårdsreien" It was painted in 1872 : http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...årdsreien.jpg

"I can't buy you that!", she exclaimed. "What do you mean? Why?", I questioned. "It's got naked breasts on the front", came her reply. "Well yes, it does, but it's just a very old painting, it's not pornographic or anything, it's a painting!". "But it's Satanic!", she cried. "Well no, it isn't, it's Valkyries riding into battle. From Norse mythology." "I don't care I'm not buying it for you, I couldn't bring that into my house" "Seriously, it's only two quid! You don't have to bring it into the house! Just buy it and I'll take it now, no questions asked!". "No!", was her argument ending retort.

So what did I end up with? A teddy bear. A lovely, white, fluffy, Christmassy teddy bear. She knew me so well........
