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.
Ummm. I have this book at home. Someone gave it to the OH for Christmas last year. In fairness, he does spend an awful lot of time in the smallest room of the house!
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 need to liven this place up a bit.
What would be the worst gift someone could give you?
Me: Tickets to a musical.
a religious cult book or religious cult leader portrait
a book of happy motivational sayings
a house next to my MIL
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)

Interesting.
This is my book. It tells the history of bathroom products.
Rollercoaster or theme park tickets
I know having received them.
Gold class movie tickets and gift vouchers for David Jones/Myers.
Why are these the worst?
I don’t go out for movies and Myers and David jones don’t offer me much and are overpriced.
They gutted their electronic departments and have nothing for me.
Sitting on a David Jones voucher at the moment, all I can think of buying from there is coffee.
Good towels
I try to go with booze for DJ’s vouchers.
DJs sell booze?
Yeah but it’s not cheap.
Bottle of Johnny Walker Red (or any JW bottle). Shit’s barely fit for human consumption.
😂
Sunscreen lol
Don’t laugh dude, skin cancer among darker skinned people who think they’re good is actually a real problem
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’d step on people to get a gourmet coffee cake.

🤮
They needed to be buried at cross road somewhere far far away.
A Mariah Carey Christmas special DVD
Upvote. Upvote. Upvote.
Fuck. Imagine getting that for Kris kringle.

I did like the kitten

Reasons I don’t speak to the bitch 😺 each might sound small but it adds up.
Karaoke Machine
Yeah, useless these days especially when can project the lyrics on to the telly and hook your mic to a set of computer speakers like a fucking pro.
All you can eat tickets to a baked bean festival
I wouldn’t mind that as long as there’s toast to go with.
I’ll swap you my bean festival tickets for your musical tickets and we’ll both be happy!
Deal 🤝
