    I need to liven this place up a bit.

    What would be the worst gift someone could give you?

    Me: Tickets to a musical.

      Lifetime supply of fanta

      (I can’t metabolise it, my stomach rejects it instantly. Along with anything I’ve eaten in the past 24 hours)

      One Christmas an aunt gave me a ceramic oil burner cork with some wick through it. Just the cork and wick. No oil. No bottle. I was about ten. Straight to the op shop.

      Today I guess an ex rocking up with the gift of a child.

      More locally, hoppy hipster IPA beers. I like plain beer: aldi blonde, Heineken, corona, Carlton dry.

      I got given a calendar with spelling mistakes in it once (Temu). Some other gifts:

      • top with random anime on it that neither I nor the giver knew (her mother bought it)
      • an avocado (I actually used this one)
      • live laugh love Kim Jong Un banner (best gift ever)
      • two chickens, which lead to my chicken eating hiatus. Dad gave them away after a year because mum said they shit too much.
      • toilet paper with puzzles on it
      • things to do while you poo book by “Hugh Jassburn”

      Bottle of Johnny Walker Red (or any JW bottle). Shit’s barely fit for human consumption.

      An expensive, gourmet coffee cake. I really hate coffee.

      I was given such a cake at work many years ago and felt obliged to eat a piece to be polite. They meant so well. It was so revolting.

      I once got a pair of Donald Trump socks. Complete with a little turf of hair at the top. They were part of a “Shit Present” gag gifting thing, but they were the most awful and was so happy to swap it for a book of dad jokes.

      I was highly unimpressed with being given a calculator and apron for the next school year. Also a 20+ year old hairdryer. A hot pink thong (hilarious 🙄). And a cheap bench mixer bought in a January sale so it had 2 weeks warranty

      I did like the kitten
