    I think your family just dont like you! lol

    I always got great presents, but they always came broken, or something missing. (and no they didnt come off the back of a truck!) Always bought in toymaster or somewhere creditable. from action man helicopters to two playstations, (the replacement and replacements replacement!)
    Must have beens on santa's kinda naughty list!
    Worst present i ever got was really fake cheap ass tennage mutant ninja turtles figures from like a poundshop or market. broke as soon as i opened em, also the godparents gift!

    When you're a kid there's nothing worse then getting something as a present, even though you got one yourself beforehand :(

    The worst present I ever got was a bunch of handkerchiefs from a ( now deceased ) friend of my grandmothers. Can't say I didn't see it coming; My brother got the same thing!

    A pair of socks from my sister.
    Wasn't that bad, in fairness, until I noticed that my other sister got me a pair of socks too...

    Could have been worse, you could have gotten one sock from each of them to make a pair!

    When you're a kid and you already have a Power Ranger figure, for example. Then if someone gets you the exact same figure for Christmas (because they didn't know you already had it), all you can think when you get it is "Oh, is that it? But I already have that... :("

    Just what every woman wants...an army camoflage sleeping bag with "Secret pocket for a knife!" written on the tag. It was all wrapped up with a gold bow around.

    Worse still I got it during a period of long illness that meant I was unable to get out of bed for months at a time. I've never been camping in my life. I'm not that kind of girl really. I have no idea what the motivation was. Maybe they thought the floor would provide a change of scenery for me.:rolleyes:



    AWWW Bless!!!!

    My darling uncle got me a lovely pink princess doorbell yoke for my bedroom door...I was 15.
    Last xmas I had no idea what to buy my mother for xmas. She asked for the wii fit game but I didn't have the funds. So I improvised with Rosemary Conlons fitness DVD...that I wrapped in tinfoil and left the special offer price sticker on.
    She still hasn't forgiven me.
