An iPad if I can actually find one.

Talking of dodgy presents, when my wife’s sister first moved in with her now husband after 5 years together (most of which as a long distance relationship) their first Christmas together in their small cottage was going to be romantic. At that point she was really self conscious about her weight, having put on a few pounds over the years, whilst money was a bit tight so they’d agreed a single present each for a small sum.

Imagine her delight when upon opening her present on Christmas morning, she discovered a cookie jar. Not just any cookie jar, but a pig shaped cookie jar that went “oink oink” when the lid was taken off.

She rang my wife in floods of tears, I’ve never laughed so hard in my life.
