How about this... I'm 14 years old and very much into electronics of sorts. My parents knew that I was into a particular Pioneer Elite AVR, I forget the model number 22 years later.

Nevertheless, we came back from having Christmas with my grand parents. Only to find this huge wrapped box on the island in the kitchen. It was addressed to me from mom and dad. So of course I tore into it and saw that it was the exact model that I was looking into. It was opened, because the packaging had a digit missing or something, IDR. That was their excuse for leaving a letter in it. The letter read... "Even though we wrapped this as a Christmas gift. We still expect to be paid back the entire amount of $450 by June 1." WTF, are you serious?

Yup, that was my Christmas gift. A freaken loan.

Even though he had to pay for it, he did get a nice AVR out of it. I got some shitty used towels from a Courtyard.

I'll happily swap those towels for my well used, 8 year old 12 inch single.

I think the loan still has it though.
I guarantee I'll tell you the truth and I guarantee I'll tell you what you need to know but I can't guarantee that I'll be telling you anything you want to hear.

I have been doing my own minor auto repair on all of my cars in the last 15 years. Even when it was still in factory warranty.

Those hotel towels? Yeah, they can be used as an oil rag for when I change the oil or need something to wipe my hands.

There is some use for them after all. lol

One Christmas my grandma gave me a block of Velveeta cheese. Gift wrapped and under the tree.

I once got a pack of three t-shirts for Christmas. Thanks, dad!

Did you thank her properly by cutting the cheese?

While I don't have to pay my wife's aunt back for this...I still think it is pretty bad. Based on the one she bought for herself, she just finds things that she likes, and can't fathom that you wouldn't feel the same way.

For the record, neither my wife or I are into fantasy...or whatever the theme of this blanket is.

This reminds me of the old episode of My Name Is Earl that I saw on TV the other day. Earl was making up for bad Christmas gifts, one of them were condoms for his wife. She said "how are these for me", he said "they're flavored"
