Possibly getting a Dr Suess book when I was around 10 years old. By that time I was reading books like The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was from an uncle and his wife who were school teachers. I didn't really understand why they sent me a Suess book. Perhaps they didn't know I was reading children novels.
The other thing that is crap is basically all the stuff like cheese platters and things like that. Our kitchen cupboards are full of that sort of stuff in unopened boxes. If I want to eat cheese I'm happy to use a normal plate and knife.
Best Christmas presents are those I buy for myself. I'm getting a Go Pro HD this year!
theoretically she is too busy getting the bookwork done before xmas
thats the excuse shes using for not cooking any meals for the last week[}:)]
I got a DVD of all the old super8 films of me and the bro's when we were growing up 30-35 years ago great to see the genuine old films, very nostalgic and retro stuff BUT!!! it had a subliminal glimpse of mum's nipple and i nearly lost my lunch thinking about how that got there.
It put me off boobs for nearly 45 minutes.
(.)(.) 
lucky it was only "nearly" 45 minutes, at exactly 43:45 post maternal, a busty young customer walked in and i was cured.
.......
bugger it......Good on ya dad!!
Looxury. When I was lad, we didn't have Christmas. We had Annual Kick in the Jewels day. Everybody were warned but me. AKJ day always came upon me as a complete surprise. What a surprise it was. Such jollity and laughter. It was a fine thing to be the source of such amusement and merriment. But one tires of excruciating pain after a fairly short while. As I grew older and smarter I took to avoiding it altogether.
Bah humbug.
One year my brother was being a prick. So I bought him a NSW tide chart. $3 it cost me and I don't think he ever used it. It had knots in it as well. Pretty cool hey.
kR. 
when i was about 8 or 10 my dad was visiting (mum/dad divorced, dad is a weirdo, off the planet, have no contact now etc etc) he gave me a colouring book that was already half coloured in ( he is not broke, has well paying job) and jusified it by saying "your step brother has given you a head start!"... hahaha... true story
One of my relatives( we both hate each other[}:)]) bought me windsurfing lessons.
I put them on ebay for half the price they were worth, but no-one wanted them.
I even put them in the retro section of ebay,but still no luck.
So I regifted them to kyle Sanderlands,,,,he deserves them
Not the worst, but definately the weirdest. Brother gave me a set of what looks like IKEA's idea of snow crampons (without the toe spikes) that are put together then strapped to boots. The idea is then to walk/dance around on the lawn and promote growth and improve water absorbsion. These honestly look like some Ninja weapon and would be great look for a Norwegian Black Metal concert.
Called the "Lawn Breathers" I pissed myself laughing even more than the year he gave me the "Microwave Vegetable Steamer Set". I gave him the USB Toaster box and some stupid fridge magnets from the Onion Store. Christmas is whack. Everyone else received a voucher as I don't have a f*&King clue when it comes to gift buying
