  1. Now that I think of it, a friend's Gran was excellent for terrible presents. She was a lovely woman, but absolutely clueless. One year he got a Take That calendar because 'you like bands' and another year, knowing he was into football, she got him a pair of novelty socks emblazoned with the caption 'Nice Tackle', completely unaware of the sexual undertones.

  2. I studied history and politics at uni and my mum, who did an OU history degree while I was growing up, thought it fitting to buy me a copy of Mein Kampf along with a copy of The Communist Manifesto and The Wealth of Nations one Christmas. While, in all honesty, I've never really seen much issue with it, l often get horrified looks when recanting this tale.

    A couple of weeks later, for my 21st birthday, she gave me a dried, severed ostrich toe that she'd found in an antique shop. That one is a little harder to justify.
