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.

yes, another aunty one...my parents stopped buying presents altogether for my cousins about 8 years ago. This all happened because one christmas my mother bought my cousins silver money boxes each. My Aunt and Uncle gave my brother and I blue peter style ( think fairy liquid bottles etc) slime pack things from the ghostbusters film, with the paint still wet and bits falling off. They also bought us some plastic toys from poundland, but put them in shoeboxes because "the wrapper broke" :: ahem....sure it did ::....quite glad since it meant more money was spent on our presents by my parents...woohoo! hehehehe.
