I got a million bad present stories. One year a girl friend got me a leopard print silk shirt for my birthday...
Or the first year my then girlfriend now wife got me cufflinks and I didn't own a french cuffed shirt.

Didn't really get presents this year... Folks just gave me a bit of cash to help for my holiday next week....
But the best present I got (from my brothers gf who I don't like) was "kicks Japan" book.
There is some unexpected thought lol now I kind of feel bad for detesting her.

Luckily all my presents were ace but I know what you mean. My misses got a load of useless thoughtless crap from her sister and had the same rant!

lol Kenny my mum is just as bad if not worse... puts absolutely no thought into gifts ever, just throws something together last minute..
this year I got 2 books that she had sitting around at her place, some random bottles of moisturiser she also had sitting around the house, a shitty electric toothbrush she got given and a b-grade dvd that was sitting in her dvd collection
the year before that she gave me similar junk, the highlight being a 6 pack of egg cups... 6... I live by myself and havent had boiled egg & soldiers since I was about 12!
when I confronted her about it she said she doesnt know what I like... which is hard to believe considering I'm a photographer, all I wear is adidas and all I talk about is going to NYC next year...
and I always put thought and effort into a gift

This here reply is a gift to me Steve, so thank you!
As so often, just when one thinks they've got it bad, someone else comes along to share the pain, I mean love...can anyone top this? Lorrie, you're pretty close LOL....still have that shirt?
RE: Junky Christmas presents...why bother? -

I took the shirt back.
I did get a pretty special short sleeved cotton/acrylic sweater-type top this year. In white.

That could be useful. I eat two eggs every afternoon. Imagine how sweet it would be to have 3 days' worth lined up on my desk. I could decorate them or write the days on them or a million other things to make those 6 eggs THE BEST EGGS EVER!!
Steve, if you run into my friend Karen Russell can you pass the cups off to her to give to me next time she comes for a visit?

i got a tshirt from my brother that is quite possibly the most hideous thing i have ever seen no matter what every year they fail on my presents but do great in getting my sons presents - my misses got my a nice superdry hoodie thats super warm and loads of LRG t shirts - she woont buy me any more trainers so i waited till the sales and got some nice purple campus 80s for £35 - my miisses however got some terrible shit from my mum and all of it was from primark - a ring in the shape of a flower but has a watch (that doesnt work) in the center a snoood thing that looks like a doiley and a bracelet that looks like a studded coollar you give to dogs lol needless to say i laughed a lot - she took the lot back lol . every year i ask for vouchers for trainers and never get any from my family - i fucking hate xmas i would rather not get any fucker anything and spend the money on myself as in the end i end up with a load of shit that never gets used or that i give to some poor unsuspecting soul for their present next year (cos i care so much LOL)

Man for about 16 years straight every Christmas me and my bro got beach towels every year from our godparents....
One doesn't need to replace beach towels that often....
