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.

Christmas at the 50p shopMy grandparents used to drop a huge box of presents off for me and my parents each Christmas, and although we had loads to open it was all clearly from a 50p shop. Every year we'd open our parcels and find that we'd all received an identical box of chocolate mints, or all received pairs of "slipper sox" or whatever.
One year however I opened one of my presents and found it contained a pack of hacksaw blades. Not being a fan of woodwork, nor the owner of a hacksaw, I was frankly nonplussed by this. Moments later I opened another parcel at the bottom of the box and found it contained the handle for the hacksaw. Bless.
