Re: What is the worst......
any smelly stuff like body creams, bubble bath, bath salts etc ... im allergic to them - yet certain ones i can use ... but more often than not i cant use them ... They do come in handy for raffle prizes though!!!! Mind you having a shower only - no bath - as well helps ... so when i say thank you very much but i cant use them i'll donate them to the school as a raffle prize ... because i dont have a bath i only have a shower .. gets me out of trouble ... when that dont work i do say they make me come out in a rash ..

Re: What is the worst......
Smeone once bought me Poison, which I'm allergic to, lol apart from not liking the smell.
Smellies are very personal to a particular person, they smell different on everyone, so unless you know that person and what they like, it's a bit of a no-no really.
Think I've still got some Charlie Red somewhere, untouched for years...

Re: What is the worst......
My next door neighbour (nice lad but not full shilling) bought me a foam rubber doll dressed as a cowboy named 'Mr Wonderful'. When his hand was squeezed he uttered flattering sentances in an american accent

Re: What is the worst......
Last year I received some cheese.
The person who gave it to me brought it round a couple of weeks before Christmas and failed to tell me what was in it.
When I opened it on Christmas day I saw that it had 'Keep Refrigerated' written on the pack.................straight in the bin.

Re: What is the worst......
My late husband was completely useless at presents. I used to beg him to let me choose what I would like then he could wrap it up but his idea of a good present was a surprise so, no, I had to have something he chose. It was usually more of a shock than a surprise.
One year I asked if I could have a silk nightie. Now, I don't know about you, but to me that suggests something slinky and sexy, which is what I expected. What I got was made of silk all right but it was a maroon nightshirt with a collar and long sleeves and buttons up the front. Ah well, I suppose you could say he tried.

There aren't really any bad presents, but I can remember one, my former mother-in-law once bought me a packet of cigars, just 3 months after I had sent 6 weeks in the chest unit in Bury General and two years after I quiting smoking You can take it that my ex mother-in-law and I didn't really get on
