It was last Christmas, a few of my friends pitched in together to get me something. T'was a riot shield! A genuine U.S. Police riot shield! Completely un-f*cking-expected!

I was part of the jokey crowd as well until I realised the advantages!#unreal

I only had the sega mastersystem for 6 months, when (very f**king surprisingly) I was given the megadrive for christmas along with a new bike and a sh*t load of other presents.

Still didn't get Mr. Frosty that year either!!!:mad:

I got one this year, unexpected in the sense that I wasn't expecting to get any at all and someone gave me one.

I hear Darth Vader always feels his presents....so nothing unexpected for him...:p

leposean · 26-12-2011 12:33PM

This Christmas, I got an N64. How Epic is that!!!!

Voodoomelon · 26-12-2011 12:34PM

That someone bought you a present in a Charity Shop? Not so bad I suppose...

I was pretty close to this to be honest.

And while it may have been a charity shop present (Athough I believe it was bought via ebay) it is still an amazing one.

I got one (again second hand) in 2003, WWF No Mercy is the best wrestling game ever made IMO and I loved it even though I was a playstation man. My mam took weeks to find that game.

I was so emotional when I got it cause she knew how badly I wanted it. When we moved house 2 years later I donated it to a youth club but have been wanting one again for ages, mainly for no mercy.

My Dad n Sister got it for me this year. Again emotional

I got 2 packs of duty free cigs , but I gave them up a few months ago, so my sis got an unexpected 400 JPB off me.

Swampy · 26-12-2011 01:46PM

I got a Nespresso machine this year off a very generous cousin. I was not expecting any present at all.

baldshin · 26-12-2011 01:53PM

This year, from my brother, I got a candy floss machine, a skeleton onesie and a yoyo........I'm 25.

Needless to say they're the best presents ever!

44leto · 26-12-2011 01:53PM

The unexpected present I got this year was Senna.

I have absolutely no interest in motor sport but my bro thought I would enjoy the doco, he is mad into that "sport", if it is a sport.

I put it on last night, but more out of politeness as I knew he would ask what I thought of it.

People I can not reccomend it enough, it was gripping, it was more about the drama of the man's life, it is brilliant. Rent it, download it, buy it, it is easily the doco of the year. I cannot sing its praises enough.

some random drunk · 26-12-2011 02:48PM

The most unexpected gift I ever got was a hamster from Santy when I was about 10.

I was very upset about it at the time. I'd asked for a sega megadrive. I didn't want a hamster and hadn't shown any interest when my sister had one before. I knew hamsters have a short lifespan and was adamant I didn't want one as I imagined I would be upset when it died.

In the end I got to like him and a few months later I got the megadrive I wanted for my birthday. Strange thing was the same day my Mam gave me the megadrive, I went to clean my hamster's cage and found him dead

Agreed, used to set up the N64 to play that game until a few years ago.
