My parents gave me personalised numberplates one time. This was up in NSW where you have to pay a fee to have personalised plates, so they essentially got me an extra $100 on top of my rego every year.
And I drove a silver car so they got me gold number plates. I know no one would have actually cared but I felt like everyone was looking at my car when I drove out of the RTA with the new plates on because they clashed so much
That would have been a better car gift. It was a Mazda 323, nothing special. I know they did it because my brother had personalised plates but he had a Subaru Liberty that was much more interesting and he’s much more of a car guy than me
Actually:
My school book kit for the next year
A hot pink satin thong (brother, not his idea)
A large print Fairy Tale book at 15
A 30yo very used hair dryer
A kitchen appliance bought in the previous year sale so it had zero warranty
Ooof that last one. Never met mine. Glad to keep it that way.
ETA: when I was full GF I was given a GF cook book. Great yes? Until you discover it’s American and 3/4 of the ingredients are ‘a can of X brand soup’ that doesn’t exist here
What’s the worst chrissy present you could personally ever receive?
I’ll give an example. One of daughter’s teachers are vegan and still received a shit load of chocolate.

Do not give silver people gold things! And ask first if white gold counts.
It needed some fluffy dice to go with.

That’s hilarious 😂
My aunt gave me a pillowcase…I was a 12 year old boy. Bad enough that I remember it clearly 35 years later.
Edit… Oh. I thought we were doing worst ever actually received
