Had some shockers over the years.
Once got a 1000 piece jigsaw of the sky at night. Couldn't even do the edges.

My dad bought me a document shredder once.
Someone at work in the Secret Santa got me a box of Just Brazils. The only food I'm allergic to is Brazil nuts, not even any other nut.

I think I’ve mentioned this before but I’ve had all sorts of shit including:
A three stage photograph of a wave crashing over a lighthouse. A lump of toffee in the shape of a cowpat. A sandwich toaster in the shape of a pig that oinks when you open it. A Star Wars wall clock (‘only a pound from a flea market’). A biscuit barrel in the form of a fat, American army general that shouts discouraging slogans when you open it (‘STEP AWAY FROM THE COOKIES, SOLDIER’).
All of these were from my parents in the period between me moving out and me having kids. Once I had something they wanted access to the presents improved markedly.

It’s happily mutual.

I once got a lass I was seeing a valentines card. Didn't like her that much so I wasn't really paying attention in the shop. It said 'to my boyfriend' or something. Didn't last long after that.

My first computer was a Commodore 16k when all my mates had the C64 or ZX Spectrum. Couldn't get any games for it because it was so old and shit. I learnt a bit of coding on it so when I went into Tandy or Curry's I could make the display computer repeat the line 'Hoochy is the best in the west' until someone told it to stop.
