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.

My worst present was given to me by a Shopping Mall Santa.....I was too young to remember, but this is what mum tells me happened. I know it's true because the photo was brought out for my 21st birthday.
I had shoulder-length hair at the time.
The conversation between Mum and Santa went like this:
Santa: What a lovely girl. What's her name?
Mum: HIS name is Adam!
Santa: That is such a beautiful name.
Santa gave me a packet of "shopping accessories", which contained a handbag, dangly ear-rings (Shut up! It was the 80s!) and a necklace, which was all pink.
Although my mum came very close to matching it 2 years ago by giving me a "Garden Fairies" calendar (with the 99 cent "clearance" sticker still attached) and a can of deoderant.
