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.

older bro/younger broChristmas, got the little bro a big fancy wrapped box. He shook it, sniffed it, weighed it, for days it was under the tree causing him huge intense curiosity. First thing he opened come the day, inside wads of newspaper and at the center of it a really crap yellow and white acrylic bobble hat from the Army and Navy.
(i did put a fiver inside the hat).
Next year with great ceremony he places a perfectly wrapped rectangular object, tiny, about 2 cms long by a cm square, under the tree, for me. I shook it, sniffed it, weighed it in my hand, demanded a clue to what it was, DENIED, causing me great and frustrating curiosity.
Opened first thing on Christmas Day, it was revealed to be a pair of sugar cubes, off British Rail.
And no bloody fiver.
