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 granny's friend wasn't quite all there.Every year she'd get me and my sister something..she meant well. Inedible pies. I got a G-rated Disney movie the year i graduated high school. Educational card games. Stuff for kids half our age. The worst was this shirt with a kitten on it, which was #1. too young, #2. too girly, and even if I could get past that...#3. several sizes too small! And yes, she knew how old we were and stuff.
This happened last year. She'd gotten us something in December but my granny kept forgetting to ship it up here to I didn't see it until June. Meanwhile my granny's friend had died in april. I open the package and it's....a pair of socks with little individual spaces for your toes. Which would've been really lame except that I happen to LIKE toe socks. They were really great, and very useful and all. And I couldn't even thank her because she'd *died*, you know. Which made me feel rather bad.
