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.

I was actuallymildly disappointed when I ceased receiving an annual toothbrush and packet of socks from my mother, though to be fair I had ceased being skint and studenty and could therefore get my own toothbrush whenever I required.
Worst present probably this little plastic ball-bearing-based key-ring game thing (tip it about to get the ball in the hole) from my second cousins and great-grandmother when I was about eleven. This was made slightly more annoying by having to write a sincere-sounding thank you letter AND being complained at for initially writing (perfectly innocently) "...although it was the smallest gift I received I shall use it often..." or somesuch shite.
