Worse Christmas pressies ..
BBC News - Should we stop buying Christmas presents?
Theyre recommending buying gift vouchers as pressies rather than buying something.
So whats your worst christmas pressie that you've received ....
mine is anything perfumed ..like bubble bath (dont have a bath ) shower gels, soap etc ..
spugs already knows that ..

Re: Worse Christmas pressies ..
My worst Christmas present was a hand held Dirt Devil.......I'm sure I must have blogged about it......the thought of it still rankles after many years.
Himself thought it was a great present.......I had mentioned after seeing an advert, that it would be ideal for cleaning the stairs........but that didn't mean I wanted one for Christmas.
Domestic appliances do not fill the bill as Christmas presents unless your other half has specifically asked for one for Christmas

Re: Worse Christmas pressies ..
I was once asked "what would you like for Christmas?" Me, being me, said "I could do with a new mop and bucket." Guess what. That is exactly what i got, but not with a "gold bracelet" in it. What a lousy day i had.
