1. Best present you’ve ever received.

2. Worst present you’ve ever received. 

3. Shittiest present you’ve given to someone. 

 

[Tony Moanero]

1.

 

 

2. A small cardboard box, lined with tissue paper, containing a handful of Quality Street, obviously taken from a large tin. 

 

3. I was broke one year so I sent my mum a Teletext Christmas message.

Mind your own business.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

1. Super Nintendo with Starwing 

 

2. Five twenty pence pieces in a sock

 

3. Christmas eve, hadn't got my sister a present, so I wrapped an unopened bottle of shampoo

Like a pound shop Ray Winston.

[manwiththestick]

1. MK1 Raleigh Chrome Burner.

2. A video recorder (in about 2003).

3. Bottles of B&M plonk for my brother and his missus every year.

Best was ATST.

 

Worst - probably a packet of orange fudge from my mum a couple of years back.

 

I've never given a shit prezzie as far as I know, as a matter of principle.

 

 

 

[Strontium]

Best was probably a 4 foot snooker table, the balls looked like marbles but it was hours of joy.

 

I don't remember getting bad presents. Probably one of those tiny bottles of wine that barely fill a wine glass.

 

I don't give bad presents, I'd rather give nothing than something crap.

[Bjornebye]

Best - Game Boy in 93. 

 

Worst - My auntie bought me an Adidas r*ngers football because they'd ran out of Celtic ones. She was from me mums side of the family so didn't quite get why I swore in-front of my grandad for the first time in my life. 

 

Worst I've ever given - I broke up with an ex on Boxing Day in about 2008 because I'd fallen for another girl, that was pretty shitty.

Top 5 Game Boy games?

[Harry's Lad]

Best - 10 speed racing bike as a young teen.

 

Worst - Thrush off a one night stand on Christmas Eve 1981.

Wrecked my Christmas and New Year that did. 

 

Shittiest Present Given -  I don't give bad presents. I've always put a lot of thought into the presents I give to people.

[ZonkoVille77]

1. Best present you’ve ever received.

 

Andy Ruffell BMX 

 

2. Worst present you’ve ever received. 

 

A 2nd hand AT-AT from a scabby uncle. 

 

3. Shittiest present you’ve given to someone. 

 

A bottle of whisky to a mate who was trying to stay off the drink as he drank too much. It was what I usually got him so just went for the same. I just didn't think sensibly about that one. 

[YorkshireRed]

1. An Action Man with swivelling eyes. 
 

2. A pair of pyjamas from Primark. Not that bad in isolation, other than they were the exact same pair the wife had bought me the previous year, and hadn’t noticed the one hundred or so times I’d worn them in her presence.

 

3. Bought the wife a gym membership after she’d not long since given birth to our first child. 

[Mudface]

1. An Atari 800XL with a ton of copied games when I was 16. I absolutely played the fuck out of that.

 

2. A digital watch when I was 11 or so. I really wanted the one I'd seen in the catalogue with a stopwatch down to 1/100th of a second and a steel strap. I ended up with some crappy one from Woolies which only went to tenths and had this horrible chunky rubber strap.

 

3. I gave my missus clothes shop vouchers one Christmas. In my defence, we'd just spent the best part of a fortnight in the SCBU with our youngest and I literally had an hour in town to get something.

Don't remember any bad presents really. So probably sone random stocking filler

 

Don't think I've ever really given bad presents. Even the cheaper ones when I was young sone element of thought went in. But then I only give presents to my mum and grandad these days.

I’ve never understood why people complain about receiving socks. Pulling on a pair of brand new ones is one of life’s small pleasures.

I wrote in the signs you are getting older thread that you are genuinely grateful to receive socks as a present. 

 

Love it now, thought it was stocking filler shite when I was younger

I buy new socks every 6 months at the latest. Good to throw out old ones and replace with new ones.

[Clem H Fandango]

1. Lfc tie clip, with my love of ties I can tell a lot of thought went into it.

2. Lynx gift set at age 46! Who the fuck does that?

3. Like others have said, I don't give bad gifts, would prefer to not give.

[Chip Butty]

1. Draw between Grandstand Astro Wars and a Mongoose BMX.

 

2. Far to many to mention.

 

3. Got me bird a plug for the kitchen sink in her flat, many many moons ago. She still talks about it to this day. 

[Rushies tash]

1 & 2. Don't have a best or worst. If someone has taken the time to give me a present, I genuinely appreciate it.

 

3. Mrs Tash still rips me for buying her a pasta maker one year (as one of loads of other gifts), despite her saying earlier that year that she'd love one.
