The un-wanted xmas present thread

My other half got me a 'funny' book called 'Go the Ferrari to Sleep':

http://www.amazon.co.uk

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 part of Christmas I hate, receiving clutter I don't want.

It might be more amusing if (a) you have kids, and (b) you have heard Samuel L. Jackson's rendition.

I do have two kids, and because of that I have tonnes of books everywhere, I don't need more of my own to add! ;)

And your second point proves my point really - I could listen to it instead of having a book.
 
Surveyor, the actual title of the physical book I have here doesn't have a sweary (just a letter), sorry for the swearies in the link though, I've removed it now.
 
I got one lot of chocolate I don't like, other than that, nothing.

Having a big Amazon wish-list helped no end. I got things I needed, and of the exact type I wanted. Couldn't be happier!

different at least. I always quite liked them too. Some presents are just weird though

my Mum got me a pressure cooker book, Now i just need a pressure cooker lol
 
Mines weird this year, my mother bought me some garish tiger print slipper boots, they look terrible, and were my "stupid gift" but the fact of the matter is they are so comfy and warm, i haven't had them off my feet yet... well apart from when i've gone to work, infact i'm sat here right now in them and a pair of boxer shorts.

I asked for vouchers for house of fraser which i mostly got :) - some people strayed from my list and i am promptly returning items - watch, trapper hat, beard trimmer (I already have one)

32 pack of pop tarts in exchange for a £40 ikea voucher. lol

I got a cardigan that instantly ages me by about 20 years. I'd been on the whisky the night before so, when I tried the cardigan on and looked in the mirror, I looked like a whisky-soaked, bleary eyed version of my dad.

My mum and dad got my uncle a 'slim fitting' brown jumper. He instantly told them he didn't like it as it made him look fat. He said he likes bigger jumpers but everyone said they made him look fat instead of the slim fitted one.

My grandma then said something like 'You dont want a big fat jumper' I called him 'big fat jumper' for the next 2 days. :D
