    Best present was definitely a lego castle I go when I was about ten.

    Worst was a copy of 'My Left Foot' about seven or eight years ago from my sister. I had never expressed any interest in the film.

    Best present was an engagement ring - along with the proposal to go with it of course.
    Worst present was a shrug thing that somebody had spent ages trying to get my present right. Unfortunately it looks like I've got batwings & a cape when I wear it.

    Best present: an 8-bit Nintendo back in the day

    Worst present: a clutch of chickens for a family in Africa (worst for me that is. probably not so bad for the African family).

    Didn't the original post ask for worst present you ever gave, not got? In that case I gave my granny a porcelain pomander when I was a kid.

    The best present was one I made for my Girlfriend the first x mas we were together. I bought a very large white card and decorated it with glitter, cotton wool (for snow !) etc and put words and phrases on it that ment somthing to the both of such such as where we met, events, emotions etc. . it went down a treat !

    The worst present I've gotten is also the best ! When I was younger I got a train set it wa brilliant. Battery powered but when the battery ran out my parents didn't get me another one as it expensive. So I had about two / three days of playing with the train. I guess we should have gone electric ! !

    The worst ever Christmas gift I ever received was given me by my first boyfriend. We had no money and I needed a roomy handbag to carry business papers and little lunch-hour purchases. I explained my needs – something A4-size would be ideal – and waited expectantly. I received an exquisitely designed handbag which was so slim that it could hold little other than lipstick and comb. I thanked him brightly and never used it. I wish I'd regifted it to his mother.

    Best christmas present I ever got was the Playstation 2 I got the year it came out. It was completely sold out everywhere and my mam had spent the whole year putting a bit away every week for it. Id say I was under 10 at the time but honestly, Ive never been happier in my life haha

    I made a friend a video using famous images of people and photoshopping his face onto them, while going to the tune of 'The Shire' from the LOTR soundtrack. But for one of the images I got a picture of him and his family and photoshopped his face onto all of theirs.

    We had a laugh over the present but later in the year I got another friend the present of the picture of the photoshopped family faces of the previous friends family with the person who was receiving the presents face photoshopped over the families faces, developed and framed and to this day (I hope) it is still sitting on the mantle at home :)

    Weird, but the best and worst present of all time!
