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.

They've lived with us for years, how do they not know us!?My Gran once gave me an amazingly bad plastic and metal 'racing car' that looked like it was a giant version of something that came out of an illegally imported chinese made Christmas cracker. I was 15. I blame my lack of a £30,000+ per year job on the red paint which obviously contained lead and poisoned me in some previously unknown and success draining way. She also used to give us our age in pound coins on our birthdays, she'd had enough apparently by the time we got to 22, we'd gone from £21 the previous year to £10 - which seems to have stuck, I'm 31. My wife is quite amazingly shit at buying Christmas presents, so I buy my own. I got a 60Gb mp3 player last year, she got a CD.
