Worst present you've bought?

X factor tickets for the wife. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Now I realise I have to sit through this mind numbing garbage.

I did buy a mop to accompany the tickets but was convinced giving her it was a bad idea so I just put money in a card. Apparently this was also a bad idea!

For an 18th birthday many years ago my mates and i grouped together for the gift. Can't remember what the main gift was but I know the pair of over sized granny pants with a Mars bar rubbed into the nether regions and a deepest sympathy card did not go down too well.

Mind you, she must have seen the funny side as I met her at a party a few years later and pumped her on the sofa while her lad was passed out behind it.

Also, went to two weddings where one of the cards was a photo a woman's tits covered in confetti with "to the pair of you" on the front and the other (which was a shotgun wedding)where the card was a cartoon of a guy pumping his gf in the back seat of a mini with L plates.

Not painting myself in a very good light here am I? Then again I possibly fit in perfectly with the rest of you considering what I have been reading. ;)

Years ago my 'uncle' died (really my grans sisters husband) and that year the recently widowed auntie gave all the male members of the family gift wrapped socks. Unfortunately they weren't new and had previously belonged to my uncle and were straight out the dead mans sock drawer.

Probably the worst present I've ever given was a pornographic join-the-dots book. It was supposed to be a funny joke present for my brother but he was like "what is this? why did you get me this!?" and every one else was aghast. Misjudged. In fact buying any 'funny' gift is probably a big no no.

When I was 13, I bought my mum a can opener for Christmas - not a word of a lie. 30 years later, I still experience a strange intermingling of remorse, cringe, and amusement when I think back on it.

Of course these feelings of remorse,cringe and amusement come to bear only when you use it on a visit, yes?
