Who got the worst xmas presents?

This has to get my vote for my naffest pressie, along with the UltimateKylie double CD, I mean, nice butt but a mile away from my musical tastes.

This is a massager BTW before any of the gutter minded people make any comments.

worst of all, both from very close members of family.

I never got a single duffer either, in fact, I did pretty well this year, got one of these arriving in a couple of day's, belated but worth it

Yes, but they were always called "personal massagers"...!!

I got a pair of slippers.

Ok, admittedly I *did* actually ask for them because my old pair were falling apart and there *wasn't* a pipe with them...!

If you need a good home for Kylie, I'll have her.

I got one of those mini fridges - I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with that yet.

I could use a mini fridge lol to hold my 8pack of beer

I got a pan from my parent's neighbours. Words fail me.

Depends on what sort of pan they gave you. If it was a frying pan, dead-on. On the other hand, if they gave you a bed pan, then I'd be worried what you're parents are telling them.

I got a table top easel from my husband.First time in 31 years he has got it right.

I usually give him very pointed hints weeks before Christmas but I invariably end up having to buy it myself in January.

My daughter is getting better slowly since the year she bought me a toblerone bar.I think she just can't afford to buy me what she would really like to buy me so gets rather stuck.She gave me some of that really posh drinking chocolate on the theory that chocolate is always a good fall back.

My son actually listens to people and thus far has been a good present buyer.I think he has taken one look at his father's example and resolved never to be like him.

He gave me a pair of gloves to replace the rather nice ones I lost in October.

Incog.

I got a rechargable torch. Nice idea. and a good torch, but to recharge it, you have to shake it 3 times a second for 5 minutes. Not only is it a bit tiring, but I do tend to look like I am *ahem* having a "J. Arthur" while I am shaking it (the torch has to be shaken front to back, not sideways).
