Why? Because she put more effort into choosing a present than you could?

You rotten bastard, (some)people get a great deal of pleasure out of choosing and giving presents!

It doesn't take a lot of effort to walk into 'Hawkins Bazzar', point at something and say to yourself, "That'll do". She can still generate as much pleasure as she wants by giving that crap to someone else, it just saves me the bother of binning it on Boxing Day.

My sister (4 yrs my senior) went through a phase of giving me odd Christmas presents; a 10" high, plastic, pipe smoking duck on elastic that made a sort of strangulated gurgling sound when it bounced, an elasticated, fluffy black and white monitor surround, a pair of divining rods, an abacus and lastly, a pair of lozenge shaped magnets called 'Oids'.

All of which went straight in the bin!

It was shortly after this that I politely suggested we didn't bother buying each other Christmas presents any more.

A mate of mine was given a butchery lesson run by the Ginger Pig folks.

He had a great time and reckoned the value of the product you get to take home was prob worth 50% of the cost.

Has your girlfriend recovered from her last present yet?

I like to keep things interesting rather than the mundane obvious things

[TimberWolf]

Have you ever given or received an unsual present for birthday/xmas etc.? if so what was it?

I'm looking for some inspiration.

Would have classified as unusual had he done though...

Most certainly.

[Zoiderman]

I doubt he presented it to her for her birthday though.

Has she found the last unusual present yet?

Maybe she really wants a nice pair of slippers?

yes she knows about the box and no she doesn't need any slippers 0/10 for unusualness

One of my ex's got given a ring in a box that she can't open.

Didn't one of the Sailors on the Royal Yacht Brittannia once capture one of the Queens Richard the Thirds, varnish it, then mount it on a frame?

Just saying...
