The best present i received was a slow cooker from my Parents last year, i have probably got more use from it in the last 12 months than any present i ever received and you can't beat a slow cooked Irish Stew

Jesus Wept

I dunno what the best I've ever given is, they are all too awesome.
The worst I ever received was a book from my brother that he only gave me because he had already read it, it was part of a series he was interested in that I had zero interest in. It's the thought that counts. :rolleyes:

when i was 6 i asked Santa for a toy JCB digger as my Dad drove one at the time. I wote about five letters and said prayers night and day. On christmas morning my brother got a police car and i got the classic red fire truck. BEST CHRISTMAS EVER. I did'nt even think about the JCB till Easter.

Best was the first playstation

Best is probably the original Xbox - still use that bad boy as my media player.

I bought my brother and his wife a juicer from aldi because I was totally broke at the time, only got paid on xmas eve and all the other shops were closed.

He got me a voucher for a lovely b&b

Since then I have been referred to as the guy who gives really crap presents

Worst present I ever gave (as a group gift and I was pretty young at the time so I wasn't really involved :pac: ) was a bottle of vodka to my sister. She was in charge of picking out lovely gifts for each of our siblings as a group gift from all of us leaving us only one gift to pick out..hers..and we gave her a bottle of vodka. I'll always feel very bad about that!

A few years ago I got given a potty.... because my parent's weren't able to get my Wii in time!

My OH let me go home to NZ for a month to see my new nephews and spend my first christmas in 10years with my family!
Worst bit was I flew back on St Stephens day to spend New Years with the OH family.

In return last year I got them.....
Socks...
They love them Hi-tech Smartwool super warm in the bad weather socks!

inovo

Best Xmas present i ever received was a battery powered model airplane glider with a 1.2m wingspan. Modifiied it by putting solar panels on its wings to charge the battery while flying! Cooool.

Worst present was a pair of socks and a can of deoderant (not a gift set, just a can!!!!).

rameire

i remember christmas, it was fun that one time

Mr Man

Best Christmas Present? Boring but it was the Kindle I received last year.

Worst? When I was 17 my ma gave me a card that said get 10 driving lessons and I will pay. I wasn't able to collect for nearly 10 years.

Boardnashea

My little girl was born at home on Christmas morning 3 years ago.

rpurfield

my worst present ever was a sovreign ring off an ex that i could actually bend to fit my finger cos it was too big!!think the wife found it recently and it made a trip to the cash for gold with her broken bracelets/single ear rings!! my best christmas present was meeting my now wife ten years ago this st stephens' day

AwayWithFaries

Best present I give someone is probably the pool table I got someone last year, great idea but not sure if the half mile walk home from the shop with it was worth it!

Worst present I ever bought was probably a deodorant set or something, I'm always buying that kinda stuff when I'm stuck for an idea.

Rhubar

Worst present ever is anything my brother ever gets me - he doesn't have a clue!

FreudianSlippers

A potato clock would be pretty bad.

jenga-jen

One Christmas, after almost 3 years of going out together, I was given.....a flask.

Now it wasn't just any ordinary flask. Oh wait, it was :P

Not that was an interesting conversation...

Reg_hurley

a bluetooth set for the car. I never answer the phone when driving so it's never been used......

MIRMIR82

The worst - i got a wrapped box from my Aunt last year - i thought it might have been shoes - opened it x-mas morning to discover a 'snuggy' ie the blanket with the sleeves - very disappointed - even more so when my sister refused to stop laughing and put it on and started singing sister act songs!!:(

dareden

Anything with a potato is good by me

justsomebloke

a set of table mats, and not just ordinary table mats but the most god awful set that must of been in hiding since the 70's as I doubt anyone would still sell a set like this

bonnieprince

worst present was a half pound of sausages
best present was a frying pan!

Seasons Greetings

We hope you’re getting excited by the approach of Christmas! This wait can be tantalisingly slow for some, but for others the time will tear by faster than Santa's Sleigh can travel (leading to manic last-minute shopping…).

Well, winning the Christmas Package we have up for grabs this month should help you either way.

The Electric Ireland Store is there to cater for your Christmas needs, with plenty to offer the curious shopper. We have put together a package of the below products, worth a combined €280 to one lucky winner.

• The Devotec Bluetooth Stereo Speaker is a high quality portable speaker system that plays music via Bluetooth®, and in addition to being mains-chargeable, it can also be powered up by the sun.
• The Green Science Potato Clock - now here’s a strange one! It’s a clock powered by, ahem... spuds. Easier to come by in most Irish households than batteries when the power runs dry! Plus it would make a great toy for any inquisitive mind!
• The Philips Living Colours Mini will set the mood and bathe your home in a colour of your choice.
• The Powermonkey Classic V2 Charger provides portable power for your gadgets when you need it.
• And finally, the Solar Centre Fairy Lights let you place lights outside without the hassle of mains power – let the sun do the work, even in winter! (so they could be a nice addition to your Christmas décor)

To be in with a chance to win, just leave a comment below. Anything will do, but to make things more interesting, you could tell us about the best or worst present you’ve ever given someone for Christmas…

Competition closes at midnight on Sunday 11th December, and the winner (chosen at random) will be announced on the Monday morning. Our competition T&Cs can be viewed here.

Best of luck!

David.

.BrianJM

Can't remember anything as best or worst present.
Divorce perhaps, but it's not really a present as such.

Best present I ever got was a Commodore 64 way back in the day.
The worst was probably socks!
