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.

A friend's shoddy presentsHaven't received anything noteworthily shoddy myself, but my friend has received several from his dad's friend, who just happened to be his maths teacher. One Christmas he got a present you can't get in the shops! It was a Lurpak mug, which is obtained by sending away the lids from six packs of Lurpak. Another year he got a bar of chocolate that was six months out of date. His sister, interested in classical music, was given a Classic FM CD, which actually sounds like quite a good present until you learn that all he did was buy Classic FM magazine and give her the free CD off that.
