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 have a fat Danish "Auntie Anne"who is this crazy friend of my mums.
Now, I'm not quite sure if Anne has the foggiest fucking idea about gift giving but she certainly makes up for it with her enthusiasm.
Every year, I will receive a good 20 or so presents, carefully wrapped in 10 layers of paper and tape, which i have to unpick in front of my family so they can all have a good nosy at what's inside.
After wearing my fingertips down to bloody stumps, there are usually some choice presents to be found.
Used soap
A pasta server
A used apron with a big stain on it
Some sweets that smelt like dog shit
and the best of all....87p in a tobacco tin.
And no, I didn't spend it all at once....
