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.

Got this from a mate at work:The worst Christmas present I heard of was an inadvertent one. One of my
aunties worked for Sterling Health, making liver-salts, milk of magnesia etc.
She and her colleagues were always being troubled by one of the cleaners so
one Christmas my auntie gave this cleaner a box containing tins of liversalts,
milk of mag and the other products, and left a piece of paper with "greedy
bugger" written on it in the box. Unfortunately this cleaner couldn't read.
When they got back after New Year my auntie asked if she had taken the box
home, in case the manager found it. The cleaner said she had, but as she
didn't need the stuff she'd given it to an old woman upstairs who never got
anything and was delighted with it. So my aunt asked if she'd taken the paper
out. The reply was "No, I noticed you'd written Merry Christmas so i just left
it in".
