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 mum.....My mums Aunty once brought her a candle holder shaped like a cottage that was obviously second hand for a number of reasons.... 1) It was greasy and dirty as if been stuck in a kitchen for many a year 2) The candle had no wick and 3) There was a cobweb joining the chimmney and roof complete with spider great for my spider-fearing mother Shame though the cottage was nice and the spider was just a perfect extra!!!
Edit: Just remembered my Dad's mum and her great present buying qualities..... O how we laughed when my Dad opened his econo-de-icer one Christmas morning, several years later and he has still not even used a quarter it was that big!!!
