    I don't think the ability to buy crap pressies for the O/H is one exclusively limited to guys.

    One Xmas, an ex once got me a little steel model of a camera with a clock in it.

    The same ex got me a tie-pin shaped like Concorde. Now, on the odd occasion I do wear a tie, I certainly wouldn't use a tie-pin and certainly one not shaped like a Concorde.

    Those actually sound like cute things not like socks or anything, I don't know what you're complaining about compard to every1 else. But she obviously wasnt that crazy about u.

    Its true that even if ur bad at picking presents if u really love someone u will pick something that reflects ur Ohs interests and identity however silly it mite be. its sad but im really into poetry altho I cant write it myself, but my bf wrote me a poem at xmas and it was the nicest gift.

    Oh, yes she was. I'm was just making the point that being crap at buying presents for other people isn't a exclusively male trait.

    Sorry ladies, but I have the winner: Electricity play set for kids aged 10-12. It came in a big box and I thought it was gonna be something amazing. It was for little boys who want to learn about electricity! He honestly thought I'd really enjoy it.

    He was actually a great guy, but I used to dread birthdays, Christmas and Valentines Day etc. cos I hated having to pretend to be delighted with whatever ridiculous thing he'd bought me. I could never bring myself to say it to him though - "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" and all that.

    A horrible candle that would fit in in an old folks home.
