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.

Not ungrateful...I live in Scotland, but my family are still mostly in London, so presents get packaged and posted. I think my mother rather resents the postage, as she hates to send a parcel with the slightest bit of spare space. To fill it, she grabs random stuff that's lying around her house.
For my recent birthday I received, in a box, a book, some chocolate, a cake, free shampoo sachets from a magazine, some spice stuff for adding to roast tatties, a sachet of microwaveable porridge (?!?), one of her headscarves (I'm 25 not 45), and a scented bin liner. Just one scented bin liner. She's quite normal in all other respects...
She also paid for my best present, my new scaffold piercing, so sometimes she gets in right :D
