Unecessary Christmas presents

I read at the weekend that the george forman grill was one of the most unused presents given in the UK. However top of the pile of presents used, and then very quickly given up with is the exercise bike.
hmmmm we've got both confused

A few years ago I was given this shoulder apron thingy that's supposed to stop you getting make up on your clothes as you're applying it. Needless to say it was in the charity bag by Dec 26th confused

Coincidentally my George Foreman grill, which hasn't been used for quite a while, has, over the last few days, had a resurgence now I've figured out how to use it to make Ham & Cheese toasties. Mmmmmm.
Hmmm, "exercise" and "bike" in the same sentence. Nope, cannot parse that! :twisted:

I scoffed when I was given two, yes TWO, folding tables one year. One is now residing in the attic waiting until the other drops apart from over use. rolleyes

My son (17 at the time) received a present from his gran (my ex-mother in law who hates me). It was a ceramic sheep with real fur on it, sitting up with a stupid look on its face. Utterly useless.
We used to put it out with the xmas decorations to remind us to be grateful for what we get - nothing could be worse than the 'Madge' as we called it. (Named it after the ex ma-in-law).
Well, I dropped it this year (totally accidentally) and discovered that it was actually a money box. The slot in its head was obscured by the fur.
Anyway it was ugly and a really useless present for a 17 year-old who had used a bank account for years. LOL
Do I buy 'useless' presents for others. Regularly, if they want them.
