Worst Christmas Present.

[DCLane]

Today's been fine, mainly because these days I mostly buy my own presents.

I once got a cockroach encased in glass from my mother.

I got a bike Pizza cutter. How hideous, I was worried one day it would eventually come. A pair of cycling socks would be a million times better.

No duff presents here. But there is a lot of beer, so it will take a while to consume it....

Is it one of these?

I was given one a few years ago, quite cute I think, cuts well too but only much use if you're into pizza.

Probably more useful as desk ornament

Yea but orange. Pizza is ok on rare occasions it’s boring food compared to what else you could make.

A Flash Gordon card game.

Now that sounds promising - not any good then ?

You've been eating the wrong kind of pizza!

wonder if charity shops will take them??

Your local food bank will be grateful for donation of toiletries at any time of the year.
I volunteer with a foodbank, we are always short of men's toiletries and shaving stuff.

I received a car dashcam a couple of years ago, for a car she jointly owns, and that nobody will fit, so it's still in its box.

Thanks.

Many, many years ago, I received a large package from some acquaintances of dad's.

Inside, were six self-assembly corrugated card document wallets. I mean do you even give that to someone as a prezzie, never mind a nine year old?

Also, from a neighbour, a really twee 18-inch tall sculpture of two fantail doves.

Plus the usual array of cheap toiletries that I could never use as I have sensitive skin, and if I use the "wrong" products, I end up sitting there scratching like a baboon... At least the soaps could go in my undie and sock drawers.

I haven't been able use them either since I made myself allergic to deodorant when I ignored the warning not to use it on broken skin.

Ouch xxx

Simple soap and baby bath is what I have to stick to in order to avoid issues. Though a muslin full of dried lavender or rose petals in the bath is a nice treat.

Not me, but years ago I had a temp job at a place a guy who'd been on The Apprentice worked. He gave everyone in his team a signed and framed photo of himself.

What you'd expect from someone who power-walked in first thing in his sharp suit to a small office in an industrial estate in Stevenage saying way over-earnestly 'Morning World..'

What a 🔔-end

That would take some beating... Anybody who had been given an unencased cockroach would trump it though!
