bad christmas gifts

excerpts from the guardian family section today which made me laugh, on the worst present readers had received...

'my dad once bought my mum a new iron. even as a six-year old, i knew that wasn't good.'

'every year i get given bubble bath. we've only got a shower.'

'one year my husband bought me a garden strimmer. he's now my ex.'

'a banana holder from my brother. i hate bananas.'

reminds me of the time that someone i know got given brightly coloured in trays for his birthday...useful (not from me i hasten to add)!

i on the other hand would appreciate anything from this store. we visited the manchester branch last saturday with my brothers and sister in law which is HUGE! had to stop myself drooling over the latest patterened storage jars and stripey tea towels.
