Top Xmas pressies

You know the feeling . . . it’s Christmas time, and all around you people are opening super cool Christmas gifts, high fiving and celebrating. But, as you nervously sip on your eggnog, you keep getting absolute shockers, the kind of gifts you can’t even give away.

It’s just one of those times when you have to take the good with the bad.

Please send us your comments. What is the worst  Christmas gift you’ve ever received?

10 best Christmas gifts:

• Nail polish, lip gloss, hand cream
• Apple iPad
• Aston Martin sports car
• Ralph Lauren Polo Blue cologne
• Gorgeous designer underwear
• A lie in (courtesy of hubby or wife)
• Spa voucher
• A gift (really) hand-made by your kids.
• e-Book reader
• Ride on the Big Swing at Moses Mabhida stadium

These are the creme de le creme, The Rolls Royce, the caviar of gifts. Get these and you better be smiling all day long. Appreciate these because at the other end of the scale is some poor soul who’s feeling rather underwhelmed (having coughed up loads of cash on pressies for his friends or loved ones). But don’t despair . . . there’s always next year.
