I got a bed comforter for the yard sale (the wrong size and comfoters for a bachelor??? WTF???). I got two sets of cheap bedsheets for the yard sale. I got a variety three pack of tins of Planters peanuts for the food bank (can't eat peanuts so I get them every year... last year I got two variety packs). And, I got, from a relative who makes oodles of coin in his high paid profession, a door mat that lights up when you step on it with my fav team's logo!... that I can't put in the tard sale or allow ANYONE to wipe their feet on.

From Mum, I got excellent gifts and vice versa.

So, I think I win all categories.

Great gifts : My mother's love AND the great gifts from her.

Crap gifts : ALL the others.

WTFIT?! gifts : A fuckin doormat I can't use or sell ya cheap bastard!?

Anyone get anything good or bad? Do I have ANY competition out there?

I am gonna hafta put a lot of thought into my gifts for them next year but I seriously doubt if I can bottom their gifts to me in 2012. I would be embarrassed.

Before you ask, yes, I did get them nice gifts, nicely wrapped and each one came with a clever joke which invoked laughter. I was pleased with my efforts. 2013 will be different.
