One year at my grandparents house I was asked to help wrap up some presents, one was a tin of busicutes and I comented that that was an interesting present as I wrapped it. Then at opening time I was handed a familiar looking gift, yes it was the tin and to make the present even less exciting, I was asked to share them with the family. How sweet!

"Never tell her there is something you like, or you will get them for every occasion".
My wife gets paper-weights, her cousin's husband gets anything with dolphins. All because at one time or another they said they like these things.
I entertained the idea of telling her I like beer, but was warned all that would get me was bottle-openers, pint glasses, and silly koozies with zippers, silly sayings or both.

What is the worst Christmas gift you have ever given or recieved? I gave someone a top of the line rubberized pair of potholders because I knew they liked to cook.
Please share.

Screw Rusty! What's he done for us lately? Let's buy him a dreamcatcher from a homeless guy.
Do you still appreciate it then?

Doesn't everyone have a dreamcatcher over their bed?

I can just see it now. In the year 2020 you will be able to scan the brains of gift-givers with a handheld device to see how much thought they put into it.
