It’s the thought that counts, right? This Christmas, Three have some great deals, so you can treat yourself to something you really want while also buying great gifts for family and friends. Someone should tell these guys about it.
1."I once received a mobile phone from an unnamed family member. It was locked, had no box or charger, and actually belonged to someone who had reported it stolen."
2."My mum gave me a briefcase for Xmas when I was 12. I asked if she meant it for Dad."
3."When I was about eight my auntie bought a Ninja Turtles Raphael action figure for the kid she used to babysit, and I was super envious. Then she hyped up a 'great' present for me that Christmas..."
4."My dad bought me a mini-television (cool, right?), which he'd broken before wrapping it (less cool) and didn't tell me about. He just went 'Oh, that f***ing technology...' and put the kettle on."
5."In 2010, an auntie gave me some cassettes, as in actual cassettes, of UB40, the Communards, and Mike and the Mechanics."
6."My favourite gift from last year was a £2 candle from my in-laws that still had the £2 sticker on it."
7."When I was 8 years old, my parents gave me £20 to buy presents for them and the whole family. I spent £18 on sweets and stuff, and bought them dandruff shampoo to share."
8."Set of ball bearings from a Vulcan nuclear bomber. In a stocking. No real functional use."
9."I once got a bullet with my name on it in my stocking. An actual bullet with my name actually engraved on it. Someone found it in Russia and thought it would be cool. It kind of was."
10."A friend of mine got a stuffed toy bear for Christmas in 2007 that said Merry Christmas 2005."
11."A friend of mine once received a doormat as a gift from her husband."
12."My gran always gave us vouchers from a shop in Cheltenham for Xmas. We lived in London, and the shop was never open on weekends. We only ever visited at weekends."
13."My grandma gives me a can of de-icer every year. She even wraps it up."
14."My brother is crazy about darts, so I got him a set of big chrome darts that you screw into a wall as coat hangers for his darts room. He opened them and said 'Yeah, I have no use for these'."
