The un-wanted xmas present thread

Well, it was a nice thought from my Nan, it's a beanie hat with speakers inside for your mp3 player. So it blasts tinny music when it's on. I don't know when I'll wear it but I feel bad speaking badly of it.. :'(

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

:D That's the danger of buying a jumper/cardigan for a man of a certain age. It's fraught with peril.

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)

You had a list and return anything not on it? You seem to have a very different approach to Christmas than most. I hope you are returning these directly to the shops and not the people who got you them like you are doing with the watch.
 
I love my mum to bits , but she has no idea ... Handsoap dispenser lol ... Nice expensive chromed one from next but is she buying for me or the wife ?
 
Last year I asked for a nice watch... We were in town together and I was showing her some nice Tissot ones, one Ltd edition but I said it was too pricey (over a grand)

When I opened the box on Crimbo day I was thinking..... did she... :o


No she didn't, she had got me a £20 Adidas one. :(
I've never worn it. :(

She redeemed herself this year though, got me a quadcopter. :D

Play her some angerfist. She will love the hat then [maybe she actually will like it]

Its horrid when that happens. I wanted a bike when i was younger and my mum and dad wrapped a helmet and told me i had to wait until next year for the bike...they made me wait until about 11am before showing me the bike they got me. Cruel, just cruel

I guess they got you back for playing that angerfist **** in your room ;)
 
Well I was showing her the DJI ones.....

Got a Syma X3.

:(

But it's cool, I've already hung the thing in a tree, crashed it into the ground and lost comms with it a couple of times, so best I learn with a £40 one instead of a £600 one :D
 
Once i wanted a Sega media drive for xmas and only got a Nintendo, which was already getting old. The previous year I wanted a Nintendo and got a computer chess instead. This year I got some lynx deodorant and body wash I left it at their house "by mistake".

That's what you get for signing off your wishlist with your forum username.
 
I've been shouted at the last few months as being the person in the family that has everything. The moment I want something I generally just go out and buy it.

Got some great surprises though, coffee grinder and some coffee beans. Then the usual cloths that I had to go and buy myself as nothing ever fits me properly.

Made sure I told everyone not to get me lynx this year. Sick of keeping it in a drawer for a month then giving it all away.

Only thing I got this year that I can't use are some hanging car air fresheners, as I don't like having things hanging from my windows and mirrors. Oh, not forgetting a drinking game my mam got me, even though I quit drinking about 17 months ago.
