Both of them, this year...
Missus me got together basically christmas last year, so she got me a Parker pen engraved "Celebrating the first of many years together, love Darci."
Almost made me tear up...

Then she also got me a WWE wristband... It's funny, but no way I can wear it in public.. .

As a kid, I once bought my grandfather a big jar full of nuts for Christmas.

A number of Christmases later I was given back the exact same jar.

Being elderly grandparents, I couldn't be too dirty on them....

Visiting Dad's side of the family is always in my 'worst' list, though I am tempted to gothis year to see how they react to my weight loss since last Christmas

As part of his christmas present for this year, I bought him a book called "Farts - the spotters guide" complete with audio annotations

I wonder what category he'd stick that under..

I would say you are on a thin line FC!

My dad purchased radiator coolant for my mum one year. Clearly the worst present I can remember.

Actually, I did receive Crows socks in a secret Santa one year.....

My parents very much exceeded this year.

Myself and my fiancee have been given a free nights stay at the intercontinental in a "superior king riverview room" to use throughout 2012.

Beats socks and jocks

Love ya work parentals!!

Still wearing my Crows sox
But best present this year........... Croc Dundee Knife and Hat with croc 's teeth built in.
Can't wait to get to New York!

I didn't get a present or even a card from the mother-in-law. my other half and daughter got presents and I got **** all. I was fuming. Won't be going there for Christmas ever again. If my old dear did that to my other half, i would ge berserk.

As a kid, from my grandma, me and about a dozen of my cousins got a light blue bonds t-shirt each valued at about $1.86 from Big W whilst the chosen cousin unwrapped a $127 remote control truck in front of the rest of us.

I bet the t-shirt lasted longer though.

Gold!!!

A friend of mine woke Christmas morning to find the wheels of his brand new BMW missing and his car up on blocks.

His best mate turned up lunch time with 4 large, round presents, neatly wrapped. He still claims it was the best present he has ever received.

Where did his mate find a place open on Christmas Day that sold tyres?
