Y'know, just once, I'd have been happy with socks. I like socks. What am I going to do with patio furniture in a fifth-floor maisonette?'

Christmas is full of expectations and hopes that are often cruelly shattered when Aunty Beryl gives you a present that makes you realise that she doesn't know you at all. It's those moments when you realise that your year-long hints for a Scrabble board fell on deaf ears that you wonder why you even bother with the whole, disappointing affair.

Well this year, we'd like you to tell us:

• What's the worst or most inappropriate present you've received?

• How do you receive a present with good grace when you know it's a bit rubbish?

• What can you do if even your local charity shop refuses your donation of a singing plastic lobster?
