Well, what crap have you given, or received?

A mate at work once gave his missus a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas. She had him in stitches.

I've got an Aunt who's been giving me £3 cash every Christmas since 1983. Back then it would buy a round of 6 or 7 drinks, now it just about buys a half. I haven't the will to explain the concept of inflation to the old bat, and I guess it is the thought that counts.

My Nan got me a bag of plastic toy soldiers. I was 16.

I only got one present and I'm not seeing anyone over the next few days so I opened it early. It's an old Nigella book. I think I'd rather not have opened it

Biggest load of crap I received was a Johnny Astro. I'm still scarred by the disappointment, after the high expectation.

It was a balloon, and a fan.

My Californian Sister in law gave me a relaxation chime bell. What was she trying to say? I was so angry I threw it across the room after unwrapping it...

I got a plastic Bonsai tree once, but they'd managed to knock all the leaves off whilst transporting it and so I basically got a plastic twig!
