Pilchards Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 I once got this paddington bear in Saints colours that stood on the fireplace, What the **** was someone thinking? I don't mind a scarf, hat or T shirt but a ornament which looks like it's been done by a 10 year old makes me feel special indeed. NOT! Come on don't be shy and tell us your weirdest gift from a loved one or grandparent?
Arizona Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 2004/5 Season DVD. For the love of f**k why...
Pilchards Posted 3 September, 2009 Author Posted 3 September, 2009 Forgot to add I also got a Saints eye patch once. Why the smeg am I going to put that on for?

Colinjb Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 2004/5 Season DVD. For the love of f**k why... lol. If you look closely at that i'm on the front cover. Still watch my copy from time to time, memories.
Pilchards Posted 3 September, 2009 Author Posted 3 September, 2009 If you got two, you wouldn't have to watch Saints defending set pieces. Maybe the players do have two? :-) Talking of DVD's why would anyone buy last seasons for? It would of been better to release the 50 best saints throwins.
Gigersaint Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 When I was a kid in the mid 70's I was given a Moneybox that was a hairy blackbird with a gold beak in a Saints shirt. I had it on my window sill until my late teens but don't know what happened to it... or what a Blackbird had to do with Saints.:confused:
bpsaint Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 A Saints double duvet set,great present if you're a kid,when its for your 21st however...
saintwarwick Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 Maybe the players do have two? :-) Talking of DVD's why would anyone buy last seasons for? It would of been better to release the 50 best saints throwins. Has anyone bought it or would anyone admit to buying it?
saintwarwick Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 A Saints double duvet set,great present if you're a kid,when its for your 21st however... That ain't so bad, don't think the wife would like it though.
bpsaint Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 That ain't so bad, don't think the wife would like it though. Only ever used it once but it all felt a bit wrong,kinda reminded me of that bell ringing *****s child like bedroom.
SaintDonkey Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 As a 8 year old kid really wanting a Saints shirt before the days when you could really get replica kits. Folks got me a generic yellow kit and told me it was the away kit. I thought it was the best present ever until some kind child pointed out to me that it wasn't the proper kit. Ungrateful brat that I was I threw a right strop. Sorry folks.
rallyboy Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 anyone recall the Saints after shave of the late seventies? You didn't want to get it on your clothes, but you could run the mower on it. Though I think the 04/05 dvd takes the biscuit, I remember them advertising it at the time with the slogan, 're-live every moment'..... I'd rather not ta.
Lets B Avenue Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 Xmas 66, I was given my 1st Saints shirt. Only it wasn't. Edwin Jones (forerunner of Debenhams) peddled what was nearer to Stoke or Sunderland shirts of that era and trying to hide the disapointment was hard. It didn't help that the first time my mum washed it, the colours ran and I was left with a Red and Pink striped embarassment.
Deanovski Posted 3 September, 2009 Posted 3 September, 2009 last year my dads friend got svennson to get the whole team to signa bday card and a shirt not really so shocking..
RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 I used to have a ceramic Bart Simpson in a saints shirt thing. It's head broke off I think. I liked it
skintsaint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 A Saints double duvet set,great present if you're a kid,when its for your 21st however... haha i would love that as a Prezzie now, just to see the missus' face.
Guy Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 On the subject of Megastrore Tat, is anyone else offended by the selling of a Saints branded dartboard, with the club crest across the face of the target? In my youth, you put pictures of people you disliked on the dartboard and aimed for them. Surely our shop should be selling Pompey dartboards so we can defile their logo.
waggy Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Maybe the players do have two? :-) Talking of DVD's why would anyone buy last seasons for? It would of been better to release the 50 best saints throwins. 49 if you are counting the one that Matty didn't get.
SNSUN Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 For some reason, my mum thinks anything in red or white is Saints-related. She bought a very expensive and hideously gaudy watch for me once, which was actually coloured red and black, with a hint of white. I pretended to love it, like a good son would, then it lived in a drawer, where it still is, incidentally.
Pilchards Posted 4 September, 2009 Author Posted 4 September, 2009 (edited) Just remembered my scarf that my parents got me from Australia a good few years back, They have a team called St Kilda that play in our colours and plus they are nicknamed the saints, however they insist that all scarves are 3 times longer than ours. In the 80's anyone that saw a pratt wrapped up in a scarf from head to toe then that would of been me :-( Edited 4 September, 2009 by Pilchards
ladysaint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Anyone remember that little girls dress they did a few seasons back it was gross, hope nobody got that as a present.
Toadhall Saint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 A saints pilllow - still got it up in the loft.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 My missus bought me a Saints logo car freshener - the ones that hang on mirror. Trouble is I do business in Poopey sometimes and so had to hide it each time I went down for fear of finding my car trashed at the end of the day. Thing is, when it ran out I couldn't bring myself to throw it away so now it is hung on the inside of my up and over garage door.
fareham saint phil Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Back in the 70's when replica shirts weren't that common, an old uncle (god rest the old ****ers soul) brought me a red and white striped shirt which i had to wear every time he came over, problem was it was a ****ing stoke city one. good job i lived in cumbria at the time and no one knew any different
dellboypete Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 My daughter bought me an 'engraved' (so it said on the box) Saints whiskey glass for christmas about 5 years ago - it came out of the dishwasher minus the engraving!
saints triumph Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 In the 60s I was given my first Saints shirt, happy as the perverbeal pig in ****. Was not so happy when told it was a stoke shirt, it had white neck and cuffs instead of red
1576 Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 My old dear had one of those Xmas moments of he supports Saints so I'll buy a load of **** from the club shop!! Best bit was a program binder which considering I didn't buy programs wasn't a lot of use.
hamster Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Late 70's I returned home from visitiing Nanny 'Eastleigh' (couldn't pronounce her Polish surname as a baby, so Nanny 'Eastleigh' stuck to this day) with a plastic Saints duffle bag. It was 'ace'. When it was replaced with a cheap market stall Saints holdall a classmate decided to use it as a dartboard, a fight in the corridor ensued as did detention for us both. Contrary to the noramal accepted rules in fight circumstances, I never forgave him and to this day am not friends with Peter Blackwell -ex Upbury Manor Secondary School, Manor Road, Gilligham, Kent. ******.
hamster Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 I have just had it confirmad that Mrs hamster still has one of the first gifts I ever bought her from our courting days, a pair of 'silk' Saints french knickers.
Big John Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 I have just had it confirmad that Mrs hamster still has one of the first gifts I ever bought her from our courting days, a pair of 'silk' Saints french knickers. Would you consider selling them?
sussexsaint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 A pint glass with the crest on - looked very nice but the transfer came off as soon as it got wet
hamster Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Would you consider selling them? Make me an offer? btw, are they for yourself or a 'friend'?
rpb Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Not exactly shocking but when I retired from teaching in Gosport, one child gave me a Saints mug as a leaving present. His dad was a die hard Pompey follower and had to go to the Megastore to buy it. Working there was a bit like missionary work.
suspect everyone Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Worst Saints gift - any calender as by about June every bloody player in there has been sold on. Not much fun having someone like Theo Walcott or Gregory Vignal on your wall in October when they've already buggered off. Best Saints gift - Saints mats for my car, two for the front seats, two for the back. Really smart black with red and white trim and a little Saints crest in the top right hand corner. Bloody loved them.
saintwarwick Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Anyone remember that little girls dress they did a few seasons back it was gross, hope nobody got that as a present. No I didn't, thank christ for that
Thedelldays Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 a velcro saints wallet...it was utter crap

Best Saints gift - Saints mats for my car, two for the front seats, two for the back. Really smart black with red and white trim and a little Saints crest in the top right hand corner. Bloody loved them. I get one every year, and I find it well annoying as well... Still, last month it was Paul Wotton, so I am glad September has come!!
Torbay Saint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Mine would be the picture from the Cup Final between Saints and Arsenal of the teams lining up before the game. It was a great day and all, but who wants to look at a picture of that and be reminded of the day we lost the Cup Final!
West End Saint Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 The kids gave me a teddy bear key ring wearing a Saints shirt saying Saints no1 fan which was nice of them but it is camper the a row of pink tents and has never seen the light of day. I bought my brother the Saint gnome for his last birthday it is Quality and has been to a few away games. In the seventies & eighties scarfs where all the rage & I had a silk yellow & blue 1 bought in about 78/79 that was so cool I used to have a red & white 1 on 1 wrist & the yellow 1 on the other & 1 round my neck I must have looked a proper T W A T but thought I was cool as F U C K
Alright Dave Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 I get one every year, and I find it well annoying as well... Still, last month it was Paul Wotton, so I am glad September has come!! LOL me too and i am turning 30 soon
Alright Dave Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 Also rather odd a Saints sign with "Saints Fan Live Here" In black with gold writing no crest the words Fan and Saints was the only link
RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 LOL me too and i am turning 30 soon Well I hope I still get one every year up until, and beyond, 30
Mark`` Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 My dad got my the Bright yellow Goal keeps top and shorts from like 04 for my birthday It was shocking
docker-p Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 A Saints double duvet set,great present if you're a kid,when its for your 21st however... Whadya mean??? I#m 43 and would love someone to buy me a Saints duvet.

Folks got me a generic yellow kit and told me it was the away kit. I thought it was the best present ever until some kind child pointed out to me that it wasn't the proper kit. Ungrateful brat that I was I threw a right strop. Sorry folks. As I would have. This kind of "no fakes" behaviour should be encouraged. My dad bought me a purple velour adidas-wannabe tracksuit from France in 1988, completely missing the point - hell I wasn't going to wear an abomination like that if it didn't have the right label on it... I let him off for the wool-type long-sleeved AC Milan shirt from 1983 though, thin-striped design classic and back then their shirts were usually brandless anyway, except for a massive advert which made your belly sweat. On the Saints front, no-one's ever bought me any Saints tat, one of the benefits of not being local and the club's retail horizons not extending beyond the Isle of Wight.

eelpie Posted 4 September, 2009 Posted 4 September, 2009 My 'Go Wilde' T Shirt. Which reminds me I forgot to burn it. I may offer it as last prize on a Caption competition.
