What present mishaps have you had so far?

My sister just came to me asking if my missus would like some earrings she was given as she always has the same ones but doesn't want to tell the person that gave them to her

And so far I have been given a leeds united 2009 calender...3 times!!!

Anyone else had any present disasters/mishaps yet?

I think your basically unlucky or get so happy each time you recieve the same present they know what to get you next year

Not had any mishaps yet! The closest thing I had was buying my Mum the fugitive, which she has but it was on BluRay and it was to go in the "Harrison Ford Bag" with the new Indiana film on BluRay.

I think someone needs to do some snooping before buying their xmas pressies

My mum accidentally wrapped up something she bought for herself instead of the xmas present she was supposed to give my sister.

They were earrings, my sister wanted the blue ones, my mum wrapped up the red ones and the blue ones are in her room...

OMGZ MIXED UP PRESETNS?>!

Sorry, but I did laugh. Hope it works fine though, just leave it near a rad but not too near.

Giving? nah. I'm smart and snoop beforehand.

Receiving, I should never received duplicates as I warn people what I have or suggest them not to buy me books/cds/dvds as I usually have them. Ended up with a few things you think, WTF???! though.
