stanky ass cologne
Nothing says I love you like deodorant.

I once received what I can only describe as a large uncolored poster with a set of markers. It would have made a cool gift for a five or six year-old, but fifteen? Really?
my hated rival team’s jersey (Manchester United, and I’m a Liverpool fan). Right colour, wrong crest for me.
Nothing says, hey it’s christmas like a chocolate fountain….
While I may love chocolate, and a fountain of chocolate sounds quite nice, it’s just not something I’d use on a frequent enough basis.
A really bad sci-fi book
A Zune.
“released this monster update today at Macworld”
Today? At Macworld?
Interesting…
Nothing at all. I love everything I received.
My wife gave me an expensive woman’s sweater one year that conveniently fit her.
my brother had free gym memberships to a popular chain in my area, so he repurposed the gift to me and my brother. he’s a terrible gift giver – the type of person who has a checklist of “who gets a gift” and not “what gift i should buy.”
A sweater from my aunt. ><“
a light blue sweat shirt ^^
The most awful shit brown, gold, lime green and purple checkard sheet set and comforter!! OMG!!!
socks
i dont even remember the last present I got so maybe you guys could change that?
JOOP! HOMME cologne. I don’t care what reviews say, that crap smells like it should be in the women’s department.
Age six, a walking, 18″ tall DOLL (I’m a guy).
Worst present I can remember getting was some chocolates from an old aunt, they were probably nice chocolates back in 1921 when they were packed, unfortunately by the time i got them they were white and disappeared in a ‘puff’ when opened,
as they say… It’s the thought that counts”,
A sheet set with lips patterns on them made from 100% polyester.
a stuffed frog from Build-A-Bear — I’m a guy in my twenties.
Socks….

not that i would burn them, but, it is not the best of form when people buy games/ software that run on windows … and you told them that you have a mac.
On a different note, i once received a mini butane blow torch – so i suppose that i most wanted to burn the butane in the blow torch.
Mr. Magoo underware
A towel.
I think I’ve liked everything I’ve gotten…

Actually it was my wife that got it. It was a bright orange with green stripe plastic sweat suite. Weirdest looking thing in the world. Other than her wanting to burn it, I want to get it out of the damn house. It seems to glow.
