    A pair of mates did this to me & another mate at our joint 21st. They turned up with a pair of granny wheely trollies, filled with crap, everything from curtain rings, to a daniel o donnel cd, to a pineapple, i think there were furry handcuffs in there too. They bought the trollies on Moore st, & went around the shops looking for anything cheap n crap.

    Have to say we loved the idea. :)

    Get them an Allen key, then they'll think it's of something really cool but you can explain that, thats it.

    Get him a piece of cardboard with the word 'presant' on it in big letters.

    I got a car battery for my girlfriend, she was so not impressed until couple of days later car wouldnt start coming home from work in Dublin, co worker put in the new battery that was stowed in the boot........i knew by the sound of the starter that battery was f#cked, she apologiesd profusely when she wasnt stranded. (in the meantime i had managed to get a holiday booked)

    A used condom?

    A run-of-the-mill Bic biro?

    A Granny Nappy?

    A flea collar for a mangey cat?

    Whenever I didn't buy a present for someone I always made a birthday card out of taping 2 bar coasters together with writing on the inside.

    Good one I heard was getting someone a walking stick. Dont know was it actually done, but think the idea was there.

    That granny bag sounds hilarious though.

    Get them a box of paper clips or something. Tell them Mc Guyver was meant to show up and turn it in to something really cool but he just rang and said he can't make it.

    Firstly learn how to spell, you spelt present wrong twice.

    As for the question, rent him a thomas the tank engine dvd from chartbusters/xtra-vision and tell him he has to drop it back in two days. Not only is it a sh*t dvd, but then he also has to go to the trouble of bringing it back.

    I once got my mam a tin opener for Christmas.

    I don't think there could be a worse present.

    Lollers.

    A nice persentation box, nothing inside it. Just tell them since they already have everything you bought them a box to keep it all in.

    Get him a Spellchecker.

    The worst present I ever got was when I was 12 and my Uncle said he was going to stop visiting my bed at night....I get so lonely.

    A mate did this to his dad, he was not impressed, so much so the dad went out and bought a 32 lcd and surround sound system for his sister the next day! just to piss him off.

    Hahaha

    Well done, you're learning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,946 ✭✭✭red_ice


    well in all fairness you are. How sad are you that you patrol these boards looking for peoples spelling mistakes haha. I pitty you, you must live such a meaningless life.

    maybe we can start a forum for people like me with poor spelling to make random posts for you to comment on, im sure there are enough people here with a big enough heart and a pocket full of pitty they can throw your way just to make you feel important.

    such a loser :)

    Calm down children. Spelling nazism isn't welcome here and neither is abuse.

    red_ice, write out present 50 times on the blackboard, CaptainNegative, put on the dunces hat and stand on a chair in the corner.

    Is it his 21st and if so is it going to be at a big party infront of relations?

    If so, it must be something embarrasing.

    I await your reply.
