DID SANTA BRING you everything you ever dreamed of this morning? Or are you currently reading this, wrapped in a slanket and wiping away tears of disappointment with your novelty reindeer tie?
Call it panic-buying, call it a lack of imagination but there are some godawful Christmas gifts abandoned under Christmas trees this morning. But don’t be too downhearted: you are not alone. Actor Matt Damon showed off some of his worst presents to celebosphere blogger Perez Hilton earlier this month in the hope of fending off a new rash of Christmas novelty gifts. They included a snuggie/slanket, a light-up tie and a nacho dish that plays mariachi music.
Bet he wishes he’d scored one of these:
- Oh wow, it's a.... what is it?1/11
Is it a bird, is it a plane? We have no idea. This Beast Machines Silverbolt is an official Transformer toy. Any resemblance to a radioactive turkey is unintentional.
If, on the other hand, you’re the one who just can’t seem to get the gift-buying right, consider signing on to No Christmas Gifts This Year which sends a “customised” message to your loved ones. It sends them an email which says that because the economy is so tough this year, you suggest an alternative present system which involves:
Playing at the park; playing board games; cooking a meal; learning a new skill; going to the library; volunteer for a charity; learning a magic trick; visiting a local attraction.
Good luck with that.
