ah don't slam the OP, surely MN is just the place to be able to winge about crappie presents!
My Mum was well known for giving naff presents to the grown ups.. She used to give up all twenty five pounds (no whinging there) but also liked to wrap some presents up, such as tea pot cossies, toilet roll dolls etc, you get the drift)..
After she passed away whilst clearing the house out I found loads (and I mean loads) of stuff obviously ready for Christmas time)
So last Christmas, I wrapped every single thing up, and used them in a game someone told me about..
You basically won a present by rolling a dice etc), then opened the present and had to leave it a pile in front of you, when the presents were all won, (you would have around 10 each, you carried on playing but with the opened presents, and basically bartered with people for the presents (remember all crapola).. the funniest part of the game was when someone rolled a certin number on the dice and everyone had to move around the floor 1 space but leaving the presents behind, so just when you thought you had a decent stash you had to move onto the next pile.
It was great fun and a great way to remember my mum that christmas...
Sorry for the long post - got carried away remembering, just moved 4 hrs up north and won't be seeing any of my family this christmas and both parents now passed away so nice to be able to tell you about a little bit of it!
