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.

Kids BooksI have a great aunt (what is it with shoddy presents and aunts??) who is friends with a childrens author. Every year my sister and I would get a signed copy of her latest book on our birthdays and at christmas. This was fine when we was little, but as we entered our teens the kids books still kept right on coming! I'm now 21, and my latest copy is about a hobgoblin who lives in some kids garden.
We also get 2 x 50 pence pieces sellotaped inside our birthday cards too.
Gawd bless 'er!
