As it’s fast approaching that seasonal time, when we give and receive gifts with our nearest and dearest (to excess nowadays it seems)… I was wondering what’s the best and the worst gift you have ever received….. confused:
This could be a useful reference thread for people who are stuck for what to give to that someone they either Love or Hate…. (am I wicked or what :twisted: )
So come on peeps………. Spill the beans………
OK I will start……..
Best gift received ever………… In Childhood “A New Bike”… as an adult “A Ticket for the Orient Express”
Worst gift received ever…….. In Childhood “A WH Smiths Voucher”… as an adult “A WH Smiths Voucher”
Over to you………

The worst present I received was as a child I was given a nylon bristle hair brush set by an Aunt.
I had very long hair and after using the brush a few times, noticed that my hair had started to split and tear and had also developed a static flyaway life of it's own. Needless to say, it was soon thrown in the bin sad
Best pressie was my sapphire & diamond engagement ring given to my by Jon, after he sold his beloved car to buy it for me :inlove:
Those were the days of being skint teenagers. Don't think he would sell his car for me these days though lol
Tracy-Jayne
An easy one to answer for me because they both came last year....frrom mrs davej
the very best ever........A pair of 1940's Jenny Knott cufflinks, always wanted to own a pair but the cost always put me off....absolute class....loved them.
the worst........It was a bit odd because when I opened it I really liked it...A brown shirt with some intricate detailing in a sort of copper coloured stitching, tried it on and it looked damn smart. I hung it tn the wardrobe and a few nights later I went out to meet a couple of mates......(bear in mind not a word from mrs davej as I got ready and went out the door)..
.....drove into town parked the car and walked up the street to the pub and as you do, I took a quick glance in a shop widow just to admire myself and was confronted with the awfull truth that the stitching in the shirt glowed under street lighting....and when I say glow I mean glow!!!...she had deliberately bought me a 'glow in the dark shirt' and not said a soddin word.
Best present : first record player smile
Worst present : a soft toy monkey dressed in a safari suit, you can put your hand inside to move the mouth & make it squeak, now this doesn't sound too bad but i was thirty seven at the time :!: dunno
Guess that's sisters for you, bless her rotflmao
when u get 3 lynx sets.....the worse thing ever
i sooner have socks then lunx....if my family reading please take note
i got 30 pairs of socks now...woooohoooo
make some willy warmers
lunx its all the range in luton
Clothes never!! I hate when people buy me clothes I ahate people picking my clothes even underwear although I wouldnt mind chosing some with someone!
My auntie once bought (well so I thought!) a bodysuit thing (they were a bit thing at the time!) for my birthday although when she gave me it she told me that she had actually bought it for herlself and tried it on but it didnt fit! confused
She is a bit mental she once tried to sell 10 year old bunkbeds to my mum for the price she paid when she got them?? Also used to knit cardigans and pass on old ones to my mum for my wee brother but would take the buttons off first!!
Such a crazy woman! :shock:

Hmmmm... my best ever present was from my first husband... I'd seen the most gorgous ruby and diamond ring and happened to mention it to N... and as the weeks, nay months, went by - it became a standing joke... that ring still there? etc. etc.
Now I was so hoping that I'd get it for Xmas and on some last minute Xmas Eve shopping happened to wander past the jewellers... gues what... it was still there... 'oh well' I thought feeling a little disappointed... 'another time' and just got on with getting ready for feeding the 5000 the next day.
Tradition was in my family that we would all open presents together before dinner... unwrapping and the mayhem that occurs ensued... right till the end. I'd been a given a lovely Canon EON camera and a mobile phone (talking at least 12 years ago)... and I was about to get up and do the last minute stuff to the dinner when N said 'not so fast'... and made me look carefully at the Xmas tree... and there nested was a small package that I hadn't seen... yep... there was my ring... and it had been on the tree for a fortnight... from the day that we'd put the tree up... It was a special moment not for the ring but that someone would go to so much trouble to make it special...
My worst present... a mouldy make up bag given to me by my Grandmother when I was thirteen... She'd obviously been given it some years previously and thought that would do for Wibbly... hey ho... LOL
WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO EDIT SPECIAL 200TH POST ALERT
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:
What would that have made me in the olden days of novice to godlike? I quite miss them you know...
Best:
In childhood - a mountain bike biggrin:D:D
In adulthood - something very touching
Worst:
In childhood - a dinosaur sticker book (I was very young) with the stickers missing :cry:
In adulthood - A going to Uni. present of an encyclopaedia. A children's encyclopaedia
Both from the same person, now I come to think of it rolleyes
Best - a full-on night in a luxury hotel and all the trimmings
Worst - socks (that didn't fit)
If you're stuck for ideas for your own Christmas shopping.... try

Best prezzy ever:
childhood - new bike - I got up (as most 6 year olds) at around 4 in the morning and was soooooo excited I decided I should take my new bike out. Then had to wake the house up at 5 am to let me back in (parents were not happy).
adult - a footspa from my nephew - yes I know it's not the most expensive, luxurious or whatever.... but...... my nephew spent all of his first wage packet from his saturday job on my footspa. Because he really wanted to get his favourite auntie something I would really like and he know I wanted one - that's what made it special.
Worst prezzy ever:
childhood - a wardrobe for my barbie - except my dad thought he could make one better than the ones in the shop. Why do parents do that? Plywood covered in sticky back plastic and giant door knobs. Oh how the other children laughed redface
adult - a box of after eight mints (3rd year on the trot after I had specifically stated I DON'T LIKE after eight mints) mad my mum hates me sad
One of my favourite gifts is a gold chain with a gold 'stick man' that baz bought for me, it was hand made by the jeweller, lol
and the worse was a rubber plant bought by my ex confused
The worst presents (deliberately plural) I've ever witnessed being opened was some years ago. R, a friend of mine and my ex had recently split up from his fiancee and was feeling very low as you can imagine.
C and I decided to invite R to stay with us over the festive season but when it came to Xmas morning and pressie opening time he had a pitifully small pile. We'd bought him a nice pewter mug but both his parents (divorced) each gave him a carwashing set complete with sponge and wax. I think I can safely say that it must have been R's worst Xmas... C and I felt terrible and had really no idea how to console him.
Thankfully he is happily married with two children now... Wahayyyyy! smile

i believe that its nice to give a little part of yourself.....so i'm going to give my other half......a piece of my mind!!! lol
the worst thing he could give back...well, he could give me some stick!!!
If they're special, nothing, they will understand
If they're not so special, nothing, who cares?
Or maybe I'm just being mean??????????
lol :lol: :lol:
