Everyone gets them occasionally but most are too nice to say at the time.

Post either this years or any other years terrible presents

This year I received a 'Nautica E1' watch. It doesn't work, 2 of the dials (as its a chronograph) do not move at all, it is scratched front and back, some of the numbers on the dial have faded out, the triangle dive bezel indicator is faded and there is gunk in between the dials. It also has a random blue plastic strap.

Clearly a fake and a very bad one at that. Plus the fact I have had a genuine Omega Seamaster for over 2 years :rolleyes:

I shall be posting it back to my family member tomorrow as have told her it is scratched

Do your worst
 
Wasn't this year but was once given a travel guide book for Krakow. The book itself wasn't rubbish. Just rubbish it was given to me by a friend I'd previously been to Krakow with and we both said we'd be unlikely to go again!!
 
I got a book of pick up lines from a family friend. However, being the absolute pimp that I have been since about year 7, I clearly do not ever need to open it.
 
I got a class 4 8gb micro SD card which I'm going to struggle to use and an electric toothbrush (already got one).
 
My mum & dad got me (& the wife) an oil extractor pump. I was totally dumb-founded! :S

They really haven't got a clue what to get us at Christmas and this isn't the first time we've received something totally random from them.

The only saving grace was there was a card with £50 in it. :D

Another smoothy mixer... to match the one we already have... that we got given by THE SAME PERSON last year.

This.

I didn't get anything really other than a couple of nice bottles of Irish Whiskey.

I did however spend Christmas with all my family, my Dad just recovering from a cancer Op last week.

I got everything I wanted this year.
 
I got this, still don't know what the ******* time is, I think its Tuesday

I got the chocolate I dont like. I have told it to everyone but I still got the bad one (from partners family) so what I did was take my name of the presents and stick new ones (my family) and gave it away.
And all the other weird/not wanted from his family are at home waiting to be opened.

Last year I got kleenex, cheap pen, little notebook and some other stuff like that from his grandparents.. I did think I would have rather not had anything from them :D

But this year I didnt want anything else than spent the christmas with my family and spoil my nephew so that was the important part for me. And they surprised me by telling they are all visiting in easter time for 5 days. So happy days!
 
i got a copy of wow wrath of the lich king that i already had and gave the game up on that exspansion back in 2010 so only around 4 years late lol
 
My other half got me a 'funny' book called 'Go the bleep to Sleep' (edited title in case a letter in a title is construed as a sweary)

Complete waste of money, I've only read e-books for years now and why would I want such tat anyway? Even if it was funny I'd read it once and then never again and it would take up space gathering dust.
It's the part of Christmas I hate, receiving clutter I don't want and then pretending to be happy about it.

Humbug. :D
