Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

Worst present ever...I was 17, just a couple of months short of my 18th birthday, I went round with my girlfriend of the time to see her gandparents - bless them, they'd bought me a christmas present.
The pressie was duly unwrapped only to reveal - a magnet.
Not even a good, useful powerful magnet. No... this was one of those ones shaped like a large horseshoe magnet but is in fact made out of cheap, thin red plastic with a tiny piece of magnet about quarter of an inch square at either end - it couldn't even pick up a paperclip!
