worst was, for 3 sucessive years, was aftershave, not a lot of use for someone with a beard.. and it was from step-son and family, so not as though they didn't know.

Best - Atari games console (between me and my sister, back in the 70s)
Worst - Set of towels from (now ex) husband - when I explained my disappointment (at lack of romance etc etc) he said, with genuine incredulity, "but they are matching" (each other, yes, but not matching anything else in the house!)
