    A mug from a child at school that was chipped and full of tea/coffee stains.

    When I was about 16 my aunt and uncle gave me a battery operated shaver. Which would have been fine if it wasn't bascially a razor that vibrated up and down. If I'd tried to use it I'd probably have decapitated myself...

    With hindsight, not really the worst, as it's quite a collector's item now, but one sticks out for me. I once opened my Christmas presents from my girlfriend to find she'd bought me that season's home shirt, "because I noticed you hadn't bought one this season". The reason I hadn't bought one is because it was the dreadful one with the stars on it!

    Mother once bought me an electronic Sudoku puzzle and an Oxford Dictionary. I was about 14 at the time, cheers Mum.

    A peach Kappa tracksuit when I was about 11. It must have been around 1997/98. It was three sizes too big, and peach.

    I looked like right wally, and so never wore it (despite Kappa tracksuits being all the rage back then.)

    Many years ago I bought my wife a nice PP9 battery for her radio. Several years and a different wife later, I presented my new wife with a shiny new TV aerial.

    That would be a challenge but I can assure you there won't be another one as the current one is just about perfect!

    Every year I get a shirt that I wouldn't be seen dead in, normally several sizes too big as well.

    Most years someone gets me Aftershave - as I havent shaved for about 30 years its not much use - but the worst I can think of were scented drawer fresheners - who in their right mind would give those to a Yorkshire man ( My Auntie of course )

    Remember when I was early teens, my parents didn't know what to get me so, based on a sudden decision that I may like fishing if I tried (never tried it, never wanted to, still don't), they bought me loads of fishing gear. I had loads of presents, and every one I opened had a fishing theme - keepnet in one, tackle box in another - by the time I was on my second one I realised that this wasn't going well.

    When I was a kid, about seven/eight years old, my Mum bought me a dolls pram. I was gutted. To be fair to her, she let me take it back, and I got a machine gun instead. Happy days.

    I also had a boyfriend who bought me some 4 inch stiletto heels. Anyone who knows me, would know that heels of any significant height just aren't going to happen. Adidas kick, now we're talking ..... :)

    The (toy) machine gun was just a noisy thing that came from Thoms.
