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.

My great-grandmother......used to buy me and my sister a 'Learn Welsh the fun way' colouring book and crayons every year until I was 16. Bit pointless, as the entire family speaks Welsh already!
For my Mam, there was the enevitable pair of 'tea stained orange' tights and purfume that smells like it was filled up from the urinals at Cheltnham Spa train station
However, for 'that man and his son' (my father and brother) she would bestow apon them a withering glare. Charming woman really. Dead now though.
