YAH BOO HUMBUG

I don't want:

Any pants that come over hip level

Novelty slippers

Items that you think are quirky and fun such as The Bertie Big Mouth you got one year that scared the crap out of my cat.

Some crap C.D that you've seen plugged on TV but no-one has actually ever heard of and will be In the bargain basement of shops by Boxing Day.

A C.D. from some obscure one hit wonder 80's band just because I happened to sing along with the one hit one day to the radio.

Multi packs of chocolate filled with some bizzare filling that looks and tastes like monkey serum and only appears once a year In the shops.

Singing Santa's because you think they are fun but actually make me want to kill you after the 6th time I've heard It.

Poinsetta plants who's leaves drop off the moment they hit warm air.

Multi packs of toiletries that I have absolutely no use for but they happen to be endorsed by some brain dead Z list celebrity who everyone will have forgotten about a year from now.

Any knitwear that you think will keep me warm only for me to wear for one day just to please you and then have to lie to you, telling you It doesn't fit any more.

Any board game that you think will be fun to play when the family come up but actually makes us all lose the will to live and let you win just to please you.

Any Item for the kitchen remotely associated with Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey.

Any DIY Item that you think will come In handy one day.

Any Item associated with cleaning that you think will make my life easier.

Any store vouchers just because you couldn't be arssed to queue up at the checkouts.

Yah Boo humbug

I like store gift cards, especially amazon. You can send them to someone's email address even! Let me know if you want mine.

i don't want another toy car i have enough!

Funnily enough, that was what I wasn't going to give you.

I'm okay with gift cards because that means i can choose my own gift :wah: for instance it's my birthday tomorrow, and i had the in-laws over for cake and stuff today.. I told them they didn't have to get me anything but if they insisted a gift card or something would be fine or a new pair of slippers would be fine.

So I got a couple of gift cards and a new pair of slippers (+ shower stuff and smelly items). At least I'll use that. So i'm happy.

I hate it when I get ugly things/ornaments for the mantelpiece that you hide all year and then when family comes over you have to dig out of the cupboard!

I personally enjoy receiving any gift that someone has put some thought into.......for me.
