Ive seen the Egypt episode of that Penn and Teller DVD when it was split into 3 and shown on TV here, was quite a good show. Not the worst gift ever imo.

Generally ive done well, my parents have always asked what i want and my family isnt that rich so i never expect much beyond a card and a small store voucher. Fwiw, i really hate vouchers, like give me £10, not a piece of paper worth £10 in one specific chain of stores.

Though two good ones included my 13th birthday my younger brother bought me a 4 pack of black tapes. Ive never, to this day, created any kind of mix tape or anything. In fact i owned like 5 CDs at that point in my life.

When i was 15ish, i got, what i guess i can only describe as a GI Joe style posable alien toy thing that looked to be worth about £1 and was clearly not designed for teens. Aweful, aweful gift.

Why would you even need white strips that young? Were you slamming cups of coffee and cigs during recess? This is such a bizarre gift.

my mom got me a little talking christmas tree when I was 13. My brother and sister have not forgotten about it to this day, more then 8 years later.

At least your parents remembered your birthday and put some thought into it. They could have given you a hat.

My wife once gave me sheepskin seat covers for my car. I took them back.

My brother in law and I have a deal. Each christmas and birthday, we get a nice bottle of booze and then we share. It is such a great deal. Last time, I got him George T. Staggs bourbon and I liked it so much, I bought myself another bottle.

There should be a thread to regift some of these classics. I would trade the first Jackass DVD for the Penn & Teller DVD.

I have a good one. When i was 20 I bought a new driver off the internet. I was at college when I ordered it, so I had it sent to my home address. My birthday was coming up in a few weeks, so when it arrived they wrapped it up and gave it to me as a present.

I never said anything to them about this, but it was def. the worst give I have ever been given.
