Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

I think my best present was either my 19th birthday, my CBT paid for by my rents or just a month ago my friend bought me a gym membership for a joint bday/xmas pressie...I live for the gym and havent been able to afford a membership for ages so it meant a lot to me!

i once bought my wife a washing machine,
she said what the f--k do you call this, a present should be personal, so i said ok i wont use it.
ever tasted cold fish and chips, covered in vinegar dragged around the garden by the cat,
i learnt a lesson,

next time get the powder to go in it. lol

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!

My worst present. An acre of the moon. Cos I'm ever going to get there. Do I really own that acre?

My best present was the one which didn't cost a penny (well, actually it's costing a fortune) that's my precious little princess!

:rofl::rofl:

Jinx - Mum did this to us one year, asked her on the casual what she wanted, she ever so casually mentioned an oil burner. Thought I was real smart about it but imagine our surprise on Xmas day when me, my sister and my dad all got her the same bleedin thing! At least the house smelt nice :thumbsup:

Worst ....mmm Mum and Hubby both have a habit of doing the clothes that are far too large. Always hint to hubby I like sexy underwear but 2 years ago I was given a white fluffy size 22 robe that is HUGE (I'm a 16). Arms are about 6 inches past my hands. Annoying too as we were travelling about and I have had to ship the bloody thing from Canada and soon Australia where I am sure it won't get much wear.

Mind you the stuff I give hubby normally ends up going to the charity shop. Pisses me off since I put shedloads of thought into get personal gifts.

So basically from the results to this thread - earlier poster is correct - don't get a woman a practical or useful gift (unless something gadgety that she wants or a vibrator :o) and for men only get the stuff that has no personal meaning - xbox games, jokey gifts, boys toys and such!?

My mom gave my brother one that was like the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street. It was the coolest cookie jar ever! It'd have to be because he was in his 20's at the time.

Hi Sarah,
Mine was a foot spa for my 40th birthday and a gold locket that your great great grandmother would of worn. I would also like to say that these presents were given to me 3 days after my birthday.:eek:Then to rub salt into the wounds I told my hubby that I wouldn't wear the locket as its not the type of thing that I would ever wear, so he took it back to the shop for a refund and instead of giving me the money he spent it:curse::curse:.So in the end I ended up with just a belated foot spa(I was not impressed)

About 10 years ago an ex- boyfriend bought me a hamster- but no cage!
Poor little bugger had to live in its cardboard box until the shops opened, then I had to spend heaps buying it a cage (and it it me as it was pissed off being squashed in a box for several days).
I bought him some leather wear for his motorbike.

Hamsters cost about 5quid.

I want a sat nav! I would like a Tomtom thingy so I can have John Cleese direct me around Sydney. I'm a bit scared of driving in Sydney and would dearly love someone to just tell me where to go.... ( ;) )
I currently spend hours looking at the street directory and online maps, then brave it. I'm terrified but hey, Eleanor Roosavelt said to do one thing that scares you every day... Driving in Syd is mine...
The rest is child's play in comparison.:thumbup:

Re: What was your worst ever present!!!
 

The only downside to the John Cleese is, he doesnt say the street names.

Bloody good fun anyway !!

And after a while the crack about 'that little bastard Napoleon' really gets on my nerves. I've got the Irish guy at the moment, very soothing :D
