Worst present was from my boyfriend 30+ years ago when I had just moved into a tiny flat. He gave me a book with 365 freezer recipes. I didn't even have a fridge!

I married him anyway and I still have the recipe book ...

The worst present I have ever given was a litre bottle of whiskey to a friend. It wasn't the present that was so bad, it was what happened after he drank it all!!

The best, a trip to Italy for herself!

Best Present: I'm about to give it to my girlfriend this year. A new MP3 player (COWON J3) filled with all her favourite music and has her favourite line from her favourite song (Radiohead: Subterranean Homesick Alien) engraved on it.

I remembered a conversation we have shortly after we started going out (about 2 years ago) where she mentioned that she used to write "take me on board their beautiful ship" on all her school text/copy books.

Gave a friend a gift of his first mobile phone, god the hours of pain and suffering I went through in teaching him how to navigate it successfully.:D

My sister once received a doll from Santa when we were kids. Being a bit of a tomboy, she took it up, flung it into the corner and cried because she hated it! I think myself and one of my brothers got a whole load of star wars toys that Christmas...oh yeah!

gavmcg92

Wrapped all my presents one year without putting labels on them as I went. For a laugh I decided I would just guess which was which. Ended up giving my dad an xbox game rather than the Band of Brothers boxset he was hoping for ...

My worse Christmas present was given to me by my children when they were small, it was 3 wooden clothes hangers. (one from each of them). Very hard to be enthuastic with this present. (Think I still have them though)
