Have you noticed that every year we are all given at least one present that makes us cringe? It's often from someone quite close to you, which makes you wonder just why they thought that you would really like that particular item. Then you begin to wonder, did they do it deliberately? Was it a veiled message? Have you offended them in the past year?

Tell us about your unwanted gifts, maybe if we compile a list of these presents from hell, we might avoid receiving, or even worse sending, awful presents next year.

Oh and by the way, this year I got a red dressing gown with a fairy on it. And what was my Aunt thinking of when she gave me a 'doll' lamp with a crinoline that illuminates? Ho Hum.
