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.

Rupert the Bear jumperI got a Rupert the Bear jumper when I was about seven. I wasn't too young to know that Rupert was a mondo dillbreath, and that no self-respecting man could wear the furry, yellow-scarfed, rhyming-couplet-living nonce emblazoned across their chest. My aunt had probably heard me say 'I like Rupert the Bear' or something a few months before hand, not remembering that a few months in the mind of an under ten is like a whole fashion era in grown-up time. Needless to say, I absolutely threw down...and have got amazing presents ever since. Look and learn, kids - tantrums work.
