I can't think of any one in particular that was given to me, but it would have come from my Mother. She buys truly awful gifts, really cheap and nasty. (Sorry Ma, but it is true.) Probably the worst was one she gave to my DH one year, a cheap drill bit set in a nasty plastic case. Now, a good power tool, or non power tool even, okay, not great as a present, as it's an 'essential' item, but you could probably excuse it, but this drill bit set was a real shocker. When DH opened it, I pmsl because I thought it was Mum's idea of a joke, but it wasn't...

When I was little she always bought really cheap wrapping paper and was SO bad at wrapping, all my presents would be hanging out one end, so I didn't get any real surprises.
