I need to liven this place up a bit.

What would be the worst gift someone could give you?

Me: Tickets to a musical.

    One Christmas an aunt gave me a ceramic oil burner cork with some wick through it. Just the cork and wick. No oil. No bottle. I was about ten. Straight to the op shop.

    Today I guess an ex rocking up with the gift of a child.

    More locally, hoppy hipster IPA beers. I like plain beer: aldi blonde, Heineken, corona, Carlton dry.

    I once got a pair of Donald Trump socks. Complete with a little turf of hair at the top. They were part of a "Shit Present" gag gifting thing, but they were the most awful and was so happy to swap it for a book of dad jokes.

    I was highly unimpressed with being given a calculator and apron for the next school year. Also a 20+ year old hairdryer. A hot pink thong (hilarious ๐Ÿ™„). And a cheap bench mixer bought in a January sale so it had 2 weeks warranty

    I did like the kitten

    I wouldn't mind that as long as there's toast to go with.

    I know having received them.

    Gold class movie tickets and gift vouchers for David Jones/Myers.

    I donโ€™t go out for movies and Myers and David jones donโ€™t offer me much and are overpriced.

    They gutted their electronic departments and have nothing for me.

    Sitting on a David Jones voucher at the moment, all I can think of buying from there is coffee.
