You're from the US right? I thought this was a purely UK phenomenon.

Just about anything from a swap meet. My mother-in-law likes to bring me gifts from swap meets. I smile and try to look pleased but...

Y'know, maybe I should just say gifts from my mother-in-law. She went on vacation once and brought me back some weird statue of half a bear (front half) for me to put on my desk (which is messy anyway). I thanked her, stuck it behind my monitor and speakers until a suitable amount of time had passed and donated it to the Salvation Army with a bunch of other stuff I was cleaning out.

Sheesh.

Blue skies and happy landings!

I'll take those blank journals off your hands! I use those things all the time!

I, for one, am sick of getting WI cheese from back home.. I live in CA for Chrissakes.. what do I want that crappy WI cheese for?

Now, ChopChop....having lived in Wisconsin for some years and having lived in Cali for a bit, I tasted cheese from both states. And guess what? Cali cheese sucks in comparison to WI cheese. Cali may technically be the dairy state now due to production volume , but they still have a lot to learn about how cheese should taste.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Cora, you obviously haven't been out of WI long enough for your taste in cheese to evolve.. give it time, young lady, you'll see..

my dad gave my mom a toaster for christmas ten years ago.

he has yet to live that one down.

I gave my ex girlfriend a Better Homes & Gardens family cookbook one year.. Figured she needed the help

I haven't worn a watch for 5 years, my parents gave me 3 for x-mas. I told my mom how I hate wearing biking gloves, but my hands hurt - she bought me biking gloves.
I've gotten the dance of intamacy how to find true love, also a book on what to do when your partner says they don't love you anymore - from my mom, so I could know what she's going through "just tell me for crist's sake!!"

I never know what to say I want. I buy everything I want. The only stuff I havn't bought that I want is over $300. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting any of those things.

This year my mom said they already have my gifts in mind & none of them are skydiving related - WHAT?!?!?! WTF would they be getting me then? Money?

There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.

Yeah - this is what happens to me - so i said to my family... "dont bother about me - just get some stuff for the kids" Both my brother and sister have kids. I bugger off the Florida every Xmas to jump anyway.

The sorts of things I get:

- Leatherette pouch of shoe shine stuff (like I've had dirty shoes for 30+ years)

- Another pouch of car cleaning equipment.

- Socks (I have enough socks)

- Undergrundies (I buy my own underwear - what Mom and Dad get you just doesn't seem right)

- Smellies - I but my own and have loads - I don't need the 'Xmas Presentation box' of some cheap sh!te

- Tie Rack - WTF?

Love my family - but unless you want to buy me that new (rig / canopy / jump suit / jump tickets / insert skydive item here) give it to the kids

it sucks! No kids here, I'd prefer plain cash... that way I could bugger off to anywhere.

For my b-day last year I got an electric car buffer - WTF!!!
