It's a toss up between the purple, nylon shirt circa 1969 when it was sooo fashionable  ::) and the Marquetry set when some batty relation heard that I had an inclination for the creative arts...  surrender:

Happily now I seldom receive any pressies  cloud9:  Apart from an envelope from an ageing aunt who's going do-lally and adds too many noughts on the cheque  eeek:  which then entails phone calls questioning her generosity and almost obsequious thank yous and tearing up of the enclosures  cry:
Like the Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor...

A taxi to the rectal surgery unit to watch the lawnmower being removed?

Mrs Nick was very pleased with the lawnmower. SHe was not impressed by my mean sister's gift of a box of Bic biros! eeek:

I'd have thought your worst pressie was waking up to find the dentist wiping saliva from his chin!  point:

At the rate we lose Biros, a box of 144 would be very handy.
