Mine has to be 6.99 crate of small bottles of tesco beer, my brother had 2 drank and the wrapping open before he handed it to me. He got one of my scratched xbox games all wrapped up last year. Looking forward to how bad a present he gets me this year...hopefully he got the hint from last year.

A science encyclopedia when I was about 10 or so - you can't play with that on xmas day

Nephinbeg · 22-11-2011 01:56PM

A really ****ty computer joystick with a few shareware games, Duke Nukem etc., which of course didn't work on our windows 95 computer; my uncle had to spend half the day installing them. Best part is I ended up playin these FREE games with the keyboard.

I wouldn't mind but I asked for N64 and my best mate next door got his. I guess Santa loves some children more than others....

Thanks Dad.

It wasn't funny on that Xmas Day :P

As an aside best present I ever got was actually for my Birthday one year. Had been badgering me Ma & Da for ages that I wanted the Liverpool jersey but they were adamant they couldn't afford it. The day before my birthday I was still on about it but my Ma brought down my present wrapped, a square box in wrapping paper just to show I didn't get the jersey. I was brokenhearted. Next day I opened it and it was one of those big Lyons Teabags boxes with the jersey stuffed inside!

Me Ma said the look on my face was priceless when she showed me the wrapped box. She was tempted to tell me when I was close to tears but the joy when I discovered it the next day was worth her keeping quiet

Someone gave me a potted plant last year for Christmas.

It's dead now.

What a shit present that was.

Turtyturd · 22-11-2011 02:10PM

A packet of batteries...most parents forget the batteries...mine forgot the toys.

When I was 8 or so, I got a nintendo (NES) with a teenage mutant ninja turtles game. Not that this is a bad present, but I was a girly girl. I'd never heard of the Nintendo, didn't know what it did and I was baffled as I'd told the folks I'd wanted a barbie car and new barbie for xmas.

My brother, who was around 14 at the time, opened the nintendo immediately and started playing it for hours, telling me how great it was (and not letting me play). Turns out, he told my parents I had been raving about wanting a nintendo with the turtles game all year, simply because he wanted something else and couldn't get BOTH presents himself. Chancer.

Purely out of spite, I pretended that I liked the game and proceeded to play it all day so he couldn't (1 player game). I got really good at it, and any game he'd buy for 'my' nintendo, I'd play, and get really good at, just to piss him off (Mario, duck hunt, street fighter, ice hockey). It did make me a lifelong nintendo fan in the end, and over 20 years later, I can kick anyone's ass at mario kart. :cool:

But I'm still a bit pissed off cos I really wanted that pink barbie car, never got it in the end.

the first year I started working my father got me one of those metal filing cases, "for all your documents" he said. what a crap present!

my sisters mother in law once bought her a DVD called "lose the fat for life". my sister was less than amused but did take pleasure in telling the mother in law years later that she had lost 13 stone of useless crap, after the divorce came through!

a top of the pops album,i had no record player

foxyboxer · 22-11-2011 02:17PM

Subbuteo.

Wanted it like mad when I was young.
In hindsight I was actually enamoured with the name of it.
The actual game itself is rubbish!

emeraldstar · 22-11-2011 02:22PM

A few years ago my parents gave my teenage sister a blender. My mom spent Christmas trying to persuade her it was a smoothie maker (she doesn't even drink smoothies). Still in the box.

A blender is a smoothie maker

Got that one year...set it all up only for my da to come in drunk and stand on one of the goalkeepers and break it. Went back in the box never to be used again.

A set of knitting needles from my ex (I kid you not!)

livinsane · 22-11-2011 02:47PM

I am giving everyone homemade presents this year. BAHAHAHAHAHA :pac:

Seriously tho, I am making some cool stuff.

some random drunk · 22-11-2011 02:50PM

I was 10 or so and Santy brought me a lamp. Not a musical lamp or a lamp that lit up different colours or was in anyway interesting. Just a small lamp for a bedside table.

UpCork · 22-11-2011 03:15PM

I don't really remember getting any crap presents...maybe I just see the good in everything haha.

I remember an elderly relative of my Mother's giving her what she thought was perfume one year - Mum opened the box, all excited as she loves perfume - it was aftershave! The lady had bought it for the smell rather than looking at what it actually was I think. Still, it went to the charity shop, so someone got use from it.

krudler · 22-11-2011 03:28PM

I hate getting novelty stocking filler gifts, the cheap tat you find near checkouts at Dunnes cos well you're a guy, and all guys would love a Top Gear board game right? RIGHT? ehhh, no. you know what makes great stocking fillers? money. or a hmv voucher. contributions towards my video game and blu-ray expenditure are always appreciated. beer openers that spout inane catchphrases from tv shows that havent been relevant for years arent.

What's the worst christmas present you ever got?
