Regifting
We gave my Dad's partner an aromatherapy set a few Christmases ago. Don't much like her to be honest, bit of a selfish possessive old bat who's turned my Dad against me in recent times, but to keep the fake smiles going we got her something on a 3-for-2 deal at Boots, which kind of satisfied us that we hadn't technically paid for it.

Last year, my dearly beloved opened her present from my Dad and the bat, to find the very same set we had given her some years ago- missing the book that went with it, now with out of date oils and slightly tarnished metal candle holder.

I didn't tell him, I'm saving it for another time, but since then they've had basic 'bottle of port and cheese board' type presents, that they can't give back to us.

My old man used to joke about giving us a lightbulb of our own to use as we moved from room to room, but this took the pee a bit.

Nothing wrong with regifting in itself, but be very careful what you give to whom!

You could be right...
...sour faced old cow. Thing is, the old boy used to be really generous- when we were a bit strapped for cash he taxed our car for us, stuff like that, since she's been around it's been all her family. Her daughter is mid 30s and so needy, expects her mother to look after her children at least once a week because "she's entitled to a night off". Her son is a drip. Families.....

hmmm...
... the scent of gently simmering piss filling her room is tempting. What should I eat/drink before to give it extra strength and lingering power?

Naturally...

... not sure if we chucked it out or stuffed it in a cupboard somewhere. Thinking of a DIY gift this year- you know, get a box, fill it with expensive looking tissue and not much else. And farting in it, before putting the lid on.
