This year we decided to do the poundland parade of crap for a laugh - idea being that you buy the crappiest, most inappropriate present you can find. So I got multi-coloured shoelaces and car air freshener. We did do normal presents as well but the crap ones were the most fun.

 

My in-laws do this every year. It dates back a few years when they decided that presents from one relation were so crap, that they could outdo them by doing a Secret Santa with presents that cost a pound or less. (It doesn't have to be from a pound store, it just has to be a pound or under.)

 

This year, now that I'm family, I was allowed to join in too. I picked my wife's aunty Val, and bought her a picture frame. I got a scratch card from the brother in law. (Cheating if you ask me, but still within in the rules.) I also cheated myself and bought the wife's 13 year old cousin a present I got off eBay, a radio controlled Mini Cooper which I scored for 99p. (I ignored the P&P!)

 

Fortunately my family don't go in for this nonsense, they usually give us hundreds of pounds in cash every Christmas, which is far more appreciated. :-0
