OK folks this is in preparation for tomorrow to post detail of the most useless, crap, rubbish piece of tat you've received for a Christmas present. 
Feel free to kick it off with whatever oddball item you also received in past festive seasons, but remember to return tomorrow to update all of us with this years tat 'n rubbish.

This is coming from the man who bought me a shower rack one year because he took from me complaining about the bottles cluttering the shower base that I dreamt of the day I would own one of my very own. *d*ckhead smilie*
Do remember to drop in and delight us all with the piece of tat your loved one has so romantically wrapped up for you. Seems like a man with an eye for quality crap. :cool:
I'd have been delighted as I love walnut whips!!
My parents bought me a decorative stone - basically a large pebble which someone had put a transfer on
My OH's parents at the time (in other words not my current OH) gave me a tub of Ajax (or Vim, to be honest I can't remember it was nearly 30 years ago). I was not impressed >:(,
Last year the same aunt bought me an organiser which I really loved until I opened it and a whole chunk of black hair fell on me!!! Eugh
It was shaped liked a box of Cadburys Roses. I'd have preferred the chocolates!
No, I didn't do anything for my "mate" the following season or any time afterwards
Possibly the worst i had was off my sister a few years ago which was odd because we never give each other presents. But she really pushed the boat out......with a three quid Halfords voucher! >:(:o
Needless to say she's never exactly been poor! Even my mum was disgusted when i told her!
- 10 transferable Letterset sheets of alphabet in ten different typefaces and a fifty-pence coin.
From my youngest uncle when I was five. It was completely coincidental that he was working for a graphic design company at the time.
- a bicycle repair kit in a small metal box.
From the same uncle. When I was nine and didn't have a bike.
- a woolly hat and a French beret
From my mum when I was 17 and going through the Annabelle Lwin / Bow Wow phase. Obviously, she was trying to tell me something.
- 'Sex Tips for Girls' by Cynthia Heimel
From my eldest brother and his girlfriend-now-wife when I was around 11. His girlfriend wrote my name on a gift tag on a wrapped book meant for their friend. I never got to find out what book I was supposed to receive. They were so embarrassed that they never talked about it.
We were still trading it 8 years later - in different shaped parcels so neither could guess. That only stopped when I moved to another part of the country (no, not to avoid getting it again
He found it a couple of years back when unpacking ancient boxes. It now lives on a shelf in his bedroom.
Thanks for this thread. It's reminded me of an old tale I'd been meaning to look up for years, about two brothers and a pair of moleskin pants:

That's got to be the ultimate
My wife shrieked about an hour ago and shot off in the car.
She went off to get me my gift from our Club golf shop.
She didn't know it closed at 2 today.
I think I'm getting an IOU
(She'll have got me a few little "surprises" though)
yeah great thanks.......
Lacoste long sleeve polo
Jeans from M&S
Hugo Boss fragrance
Star Trek The Next Generation season 7 on Blu Ray disc
Kids have got Xbox One, loads of games, Lego and Disney Infinity ... All because we are all too old for (nasty) surprises
Merry Xmas all, I look forward to reading
Something of mine will ALWAYS break just before xmas and so my missus can just buy me a replacement as an xmas present.
A month or so ago my fancy office chair broke and she immediately announced that she was going to get me a replacement for xmas.
Not to be done out of a proper present, I set about fixing the chair and was quite chuffed when I succeeded.
Ha! Now you'll have to get me a real present!
And then my PC monitor carked it and the replacement has become my "xmas present". >:(
That is ******* brilliant. Laughing my socks off.
The mind boggles.
I do find this much more fun though.
We've just found out we're having a baby girl so last week we received a bag of pink tat. Like little China mugs (about the size of an egg cup) with things like 'princess' written on them. What's a baby going to do with a China mug?! Is it meant to be decorative, because it ain't pretty!
There'll be jeans I don't need plus lots of pants and socks that I can add to my unopened collection from birthday time.
