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 16...........it was christmas. My Nan bought me a big blue and green jumper with the word 'Special' written across the front. For fucks sake. The worst thing was that she was usually an excellent present giver and could be relied upon to give large amounts of cash or whatever you asked for.
Anyway. The jumper went into the wardrobe never to be seen again. Until my girlfriend at the time had her time of the month. So we employed the jumper as a bed protection tool whilst we were on the job. About a year later my mum was going through my wardrobe to collect some clothes to pass on to a younger cousin and the jumper went with.
I like to think I gave it a good life. And that it eventually got washed.
