What is the best and worst present you've ever received

Best present for me in terms of usefulness (Ive used it everyday since I got it) was my Nintendo DS from my OH..wasnt even going out with him long but he said he heard me mention I wanted one...I love it.

Worst - joint tie between shampoo from my aunt (whom Im very close with) for my 21st birthday or a cheap nasty pair of furry handcuffs for Valentines day from a guy I wasnt going out with..which would have been funny except he went to my mother before he gave me the presents he got me to make sure it was ok that he could give it to me..so my mother telling me about the present over the phone (I was on hols at the time) - mortifying.

In 1985, I received a purple tuxedeo shirt from my mother for Christmas.

I asked her 'how many Puerto Rican proms do you expect me to go to this year?'

Perhaps he was hoping she would be his back-up if you turned him down?

Best: Dinner at home, nice bottle of wine, fire lighting, lots of candles & some sweet lovin'. I'm not a fan of receiving expensive presents but the other part of the present was a trip to New York. Would have been very content with the first part of it tbh.

Worst: A chinese type fan thing I could hang on my wall as a decoration, apparently. It got put in the bin pronto. My eyes hurt looking it in all it's foulness.

So flowers are a thing of the past, Nintendo DS's are where it's at these days.

Similar. I was once given a couple of scalextric cars .... but no track.

Another one I was given was a plastic life-size green alien head with and alarm clock mashed into it's face. WTF?

Actually now that you mention it if it had shamrocks printed on it I would have loved it :rolleyes:

I just remembered that an ex of mine 'couldn't' afford a birthday present for me one year. So he got that Immac stuff meant to burn the hairs off ladies legs & did a tidy up job around his John Thomas.

This was so wrong for two reasons : 1) It didn't see how him getting his balls sucked was in any way, shape or form a present to me (yes I know, I'm a selfish bitch)
2) He burned the balls off himself because he left it on too long :pac:
