Panic Buying
It's the last shopping day before the whole country shuts down for christmas. You've been looking all over for something, anything, to buy your favourite person. Something that says you care, that makes them see you in a new light.
Well, something that won't make them punch you would do. My brother-in-law once bought his wife a bin for her birthday - it was a very nice bin, but boy was he in the crud for days.
What have you bought in sheer panic and desperation? Go on, you know you do it every year.

One Christmas
About 10 years ago... all of my extended family were gathered at my Grandmother's shitty stinkpit hovel in Purley, and my cousin and I (both similar ages) opened our gifts.
As I sat there wondering how he could possibly have been given some shampoo with a badly torn label, I moved on to my next 'gift' which turned out to be a comb with some sellotape on it.
I mean for fuck's sake!
