What's The Worst Christmas Gift You've Ever Been Given?
It’s the thought that counts. And these thoughts were clearly troubled.
The gift of a dad joke.
"When I was 11, I really wanted a mobile phone. When it got to Christmas Day, I opened all my presents, and still no phone. I was pretty gutted.
"Then my Dad was like, 'Here's your main present!'
"I unwrapped it and saw the box, only to realise seconds later it was in fact a toy replica of a phone; its only function was playing three different horrible jingles.
"He thought it was hilarious."

A really sucky present.
"A vacuum. It really sucked.
"Just kidding. I'm an adult and asked for it. It was actually a terrible vacuum though. Never worked on rugs."

Their whole relationship in a nutshell.
"My ex-boyfriend carved a nut into a heart-shaped charm for my Christmas present one year. At the time, it was the sweetest thing. So I wore a nut charm around my neck for a year...until it rotted. Much like our relationship."

A gift that kept on gifting.
"My dad gave me a jumper for Christmas that I had given him the year before. Not the same kind of jumper, mind you. The selfsame garment.
"It was...awkward."
