    I got an Arsenal calendar from my grandmum. Which would be pointless for me, since I'm a Man United supporter.

    I bet everyone who posted 'its the thought that counts' has opened a presnet at some time and thought it was crap.

    Yes, and then check themselves and feel guilty straight away. Infact not just guilt, but also shame. And that feels bad, which we learn from.

    Most of us don't like to feel like a child so we consciously control our immaturity. After a while you stop having to try. That's called 'being an adult'.

    Body lotions,
    not necessarily a crap gift under normal circumstances, but when you get so many every year that by the time Christmas comes around you've still got about 10 from last Christmas, and then you get another pile of them again, it can get frustrating.

    My tip for getting through body lotion is to use it to turn toilet roll into moist toilet roll.

    Do Man United supporter's have different lengthed months than Arsenal supporters have?

    Take it to a charity shop - you might as well let someone else benefit from it. :)

    Maybe we should set up a DS 'swap shop' with all these 'crappy' presents..... One man's junk is anothers treasure and all that :D

    I didnt get any crap presents. My favourite is actually a cat calendar which was given to me by my nephew and nieces. Not the most expensive of gifts, but special because apparently they picked it out themselves, well the two oldest ones did (aged 4 and 5).

    Considering Arsenal are out of the running for most things by about November, I'd say so :D

    Crappy gifts tend to pale into significance when you have to bury your loved one tomorrow.

    Every year without fail I can guarantee a friend of my mum's will get me colouring books and crayons and a few A4 pads. The poor woman is a couple of sprouts short of a Xmas dinner, but I'm 35 FFS! Thanks to my mum saying I had an interest in art when I was 12 (in that I had an interest artists such as Renoir and Monet through to artists like H.R Giger) I've had this every year since then. Fair play, the A4 pads come in handy for notes or just general doodling on, but crayons and colouring books (this year included My Little Pony and one of those "* Billion Drawing Printed On Shitty Toilet Paper and Sold In The Poundshop") usually end up in the recycling bin as last time I checked notes written in crayon were unprofessional, and if I did colour a picture in my wife would undoubtedly take it and display it in her office and take great delight in telling everyone that is what I do in my spare time.

    Given I have kids of my own (she's even bought them better presents) and I'm married for the second time, don't you think she'd have maybe realised I was outgrowing it?

    I got a comedy present, a blacklace cd....my manfriend will have to get me drunk if he wants me to play it on hogmanay. Agadoo reminds me of crap school discos and getting bullied to be honest :(

    Torture. He doesn't realise how much I hate blacklace...sheer evil.

    I also got rammstein lichthausspiel dvd which was grand. So I'll allow the comedy buy.
