worse present was a second hand ball hitch, well worn and crocked.

Worst gift ever was was a "recycled" handbag- with the clasp broken and cracks in the "leather."

Worst gift? A completely thoughtless one. There have been a few, very few, but I'm not gonna shame anyone

Worst present was from my boyfriend 30+ years ago when I had just moved into a tiny flat. He gave me a book with 365 freezer recipes. I didn't even have a fridge!

I married him anyway and I still have the recipe book ...

The best present I have received was a weeks holiday in Lanzarote from my two children. It is great when your kids grow up.

The worst present I have ever given was a litre bottle of whiskey to a friend. It wasn't the present that was so bad, it was what happened after he drank it all!!

The best, a trip to Italy for herself!

My worst present was a subscription to the gym with a set of clothes inside and a note stating that if I work hard enough at the gym the clothes should fit me some time in the future.

Every year "Santa" brings me a set of PJs and they are always the best present especially when they are paired with wooly socks

Best: An electric car set when I was 10.
Worst: A few t-towels.

Best Present: I'm about to give it to my girlfriend this year. A new MP3 player (COWON J3) filled with all her favourite music and has her favourite line from her favourite song (Radiohead: Subterranean Homesick Alien) engraved on it.

I remembered a conversation we have shortly after we started going out (about 2 years ago) where she mentioned that she used to write "take me on board their beautiful ship" on all her school text/copy books.

danjo-xx · 08-12-2011 2:11pm

Gave a friend a gift of his first mobile phone, god the hours of pain and suffering I went through in teaching him how to navigate it successfully.:D

My sister once received a doll from Santa when we were kids. Being a bit of a tomboy, she took it up, flung it into the corner and cried because she hated it! I think myself and one of my brothers got a whole load of star wars toys that Christmas...oh yeah!

gavmcg92 · 08-12-2011 3:52pm

Wrapped all my presents one year without putting labels on them as I went. For a laugh I decided I would just guess which was which. Ended up giving my dad an xbox game rather than the Band of Brothers boxset he was hoping for ...

Ilyushin76 · 08-12-2011 5:44pm

A bike when I was younger .

celj · 08-12-2011 7:13pm

Nice watch!

smcgurn · 08-12-2011 7:43pm

A years supply of free bread, so that I can make the kids and his sandwiches for free every week as they go off to school/work! How thoughtful and romantic!
