Mines' a full body massage voacher.

I've as much interest in a full body massage as I have of being hit by a bus!.

Whats yours?.

Is it in a "massage parlour" by any chance?

My sister got one or two unwanted presents methinks.

My mother bought me a bath matt.

LOLOL! that's classic!

Honestly, I don't think there's really anything I got that I don't want.

Infact, I got some stuff I really needed. Even the usual shower gel / deoderant gift set that always seems to be left for half the year isn't unwanted this time around, as I'm nearly out of shower gel.

I think if someone had given me socks, I would've been gratefull, because I don't seem to have any clean ones left.

Still, I could do with a body massage.

Thats just strange!

Only unwanted gift I have is a hangover from last night

Wine Cashmere Jumper. I'm male and 28. Perhaps if I wear it, I'll become 50 and I'll start playing golf, buy a lemon coloured shirt and tie the jumper around my neck, while wearing shorts and boating shoes. Or I could buy 11 more, and produce a Geansai Calendar just like wee Daniel.

Yeah, I'm a little hung over myself too. Mixing Stella Artios, Hoegaarden, Guinness, Captain Morgan's and Jack Daniels probably wasn't the best idea on my part either.

Still, this is a very, very mild hangover compared to the ones I usually get. Seems the hangover fairy was kind to me this Xmas.

It's Lynx, what kind of hint could that be, that you need to smell more like a skanger?

Socks. Countless socks. Serves me right for complaining about holes in my current crop, but how and ever. It's the thought that counts. (repeat, ad infinium.)

Still, I got a few nice surprises. A friend got me a USB powered cup warmer, which will come in exceptionally handy - one of those cool things I could never have been bothered to get myself.

I used to think socks and boxers were my unwanted gifts but ever since ive moved from home they have become very wanted!

I hate all the money that gets wasted in xmas. I love the craic & the drink, and the 'quality time', but have never been too pushed on exchanging gifts. If i actually want something ill usually have bought it already.

I got a MP3 player when i already have 2 that i dont use. Got a fancy phone when the reason i have a crap one is i work on building sites and have filthy hands most of the day. Got a jumper Elton John wouldnt wear. Got a load of books when the only reading i ever do is in the jacks. And a bunch of DVDs that i probably wont ever watch. Id be much happier if all that money had been given to charity or something.

The worst thing is all the people I bought gifts for are probably thinking the same:D

Ok this wasn't a Christmas present, it was actually a Birthday present, but I feel I just have to mention it for sheer randomness

I got a Graphing Calculator for my birthday...one of those that costs like 70 Euro





......I was turning 15 and about to sit the Junior Cert

Wait for it....

"Stainless Steel Memo Holders"


I dont do memo's, along with 99.9999% of the population.

Memo to self: use memo holders.

A few years ago I got a box of Dictionaries.

Seriously like, it had an English Dictionary, Thesaurus, Dictionary of Idioms, Rhyming Dictionary, Crossword Dictionary and one or two more I can't remember.

I got my own pressies this year but sister in law gave me bust beauty gel to prevent them ageing and sagging one year. :eek:

Nevyn

FranknFurter

*my* familly know how to do xmas gifts......
A xmas card with sum nice little slips of colored paper with holographic strips, useful for goods and services you *really* want.
My OH knows exactly what to get me and got me some amazing gifts, I think he reads minds *creepy music*.

B

(Even still, next year this "santa" guy I keep hearing about, better leave me one of these or I will stop believing in him, he has one apparently, all souped up, painted red and attached to some reindeer, feckin ba$tard! *grrr)

TinnnA

I got Nivea for oily hair instead of Nivea volume, about which i told my father christmas about. I guess my santa is blind

Scraggs

I pretty much appreciate all gifts I get but I have to say I was a tad disappointed when I got a lynx giftset from an eldery relative, especially since I'm a girl:)

Ooohhh errr, what an honour

kelle

PJ's (could set up my own PJ shop at this stage)
Bath, shower and lotion sets (my in-laws must think I'm filthy and smelly)
Kids got lots of toys (can't move in my own sitting room, living room already bursting at seams with their old toys) and clothes (no room in their wardrobes and dressing tables to fit them all in )
Table mats (to be stored in cupboard along with 2 other sets gotten for us in the past, still unwrapped)
Chocolates, chocolates and more chocolates
I'll be bringing in sacks to St. Vincent de Paul in a few days, but I don't think anybody will want them!

Ha! Ha!

Your families are all crap. I got some good stuff that I will actually watch/read/use.

What? It doesn't make families crap if they buy you stuff you don't want. It's the thought that counts!

Can't stand people who bitch about their presents if/when they don't get what they want!

BlitzKrieg

i got vouchers of some store I never heard of.

dunne & Crescenzi


I'm hoping its a brothel.


EDIT: Oh its some italian food place...cool. (google be thy friend)

would I look like a cheapskate if I used a voucher on a date?

Yes !

Well I asked my Kris Kindle for the book 'Señor Nice', by Howard Marks. But they thought that I was just speaking in Spanish for the craic , so they got me 'Mr Nice', which I already have!

Other than that little mix-up, can't think of anything really.

I got a homer simpson tie...... My mothers idea of a joke.

A pizza wheel.....

And chinese plum wine.....

Ill swap all these for some stale crust.. happily

Well the Englishdictionary yes because the whole family uses itso it's all battered and worn at this stage. The others...not so much.

Lump

I got a fairly gay t-shirt that I doubt I will ever wear!

My worst was a bank draft that I got today. The amount was not massive - But I feel very awarkawd in accepting it.

The amount while not massive was too much as a Christmas gift.

If I return it - I am afraid I'll cause offence.

But I would prefer the person who gave it to me - to spend it on themselves.

I would have prefer if it was never given.

Kolodny

I got some 'Glitter Bath Fizzers' which will apparently fill my bath water with glitter that clings to the skin, so even after washing I will probably still have glitter all over me, in my hair, and in turn it will probably get all over my clothes. That might be fun if I was about 12 but why someone would think that's a suitable present for a 30 year old woman, I'm really not sure.

Rb

I got nothing that I didn't want or won't use, except some unwanted text messages and a few horrible hangovers.

Oral Slang

nothing that I can think of. My brother & myself both got each other the same dvd, but as its someone we both like (Dylan Moran's new one), tis grand! Also got the same perfume set from 2 people, but again, its one I like, so if I can't swap one, I'll use it eventually.
Got a ****load of cds & dvds that I wanted and a few vouchers and stuff.. Very happy really!

Why wouldn't you use it? I got one too & will definitely use it.

I know I'm a female, but I got one for my dad the other year & he loved it. My brother actually asked for a voucher for one this year & having just recently completed a massage course, I've given my OH a good few massages which he loved (no smart comments please...) They're so relaxing that I can't understand why more people don't go for them....
