We asked (earlier)

What was your most depressing Xmas gift-receiving experience?

You answered in your tens.

Runners up

Dan: “Without doubt the most disappointing Xmas gift I have ever received was a tome about famine, from my mother, right before we sat down to eat our unconscionably large Christmas dinner.”

Stephen:“A book on sport I bought for my brother…he gave it back to me a few days after Christmas saying “here this is too heavy to put in my bag” before he flew back to New York.”

Stapler: “A set of corn on the cob skewers and a childrens toy sowing machine. I was 12.”

RexS: “When I was 8 my uncle once gave me a slow cooker that he had clearly gotten for a wedding present and the next year was a cutlery set. Which he had obviously had left over from the wedding also.”

Zoolander: ” toilet seat. No, not some novelty Christmas themed toilet seat. Just a regular, white, plastic seat…..worst Secret Santa ever.”

GC: “An electric radiator when I was 14. My brother then stole it when he moved out.”

Tee: “Driving lessons …at the age of 16….my parents thought I was 17!

Shoota: “A card from Old Saint Nicholas himself, explaining that he and my parents had gone ‘halfsies’ on my birthday/ Christmas present (my birthday being Christmas day…) a brand new Nintendo Entertainment System. The year being 1990, I had just turned 6, and never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that Santa would write me an actual note, forget the damn Nintendo! Safe to say , when I unearthed their cruel deception the next year, the note, took on a whole new meaning.Damn thrifty parents.”

Erol: “A goat for a family in Africa. Part of a Kris Kindle present, the most disappointing part was watching the stupid git who got it for me delight over the The Sopranos boxset he’d been given. :(“

And the winner:

Mr T “Without doubt the most disappointing Xmas gift I have ever received was the gift of time and space from my ex, she said it was just a break, but it is continuum.”

Thanks all.

We offered you a chance to give free tickets to your niece/nephew for the Cheerios Childline Concert next Wednesday at the O2 in Dublin.

You responded in your lower than expected numbers (owing to our production issues earlier, sorry).

So which Aunty/uncle will be thanked for the music?

And by ‘music’ we do mean ‘teen giants The Wanted, Little Mix and Conor Maynard’.

And by ‘thanked’ we do mean ‘laughed at in five years time’. Ungrateful munchkin pop-pickers.

Runners up

Helen: Would you ever just give the Cheerio’s Childline Concert tickets to my niece and her mum as her mum works very hard and I think this would be a nice way for them to spend some quality time with her mum – and by quality time i mean her daughter screaming like a luuuu laaaa and her mum wondering why I’ve done this to her :-)

Murtles: Would you ever just give the Cheerio’s Childline Concert tickets to my niece because a certain Uncle (who shall remain nameless) accidentally stood on her mobile and even though said Uncle has promised that Uncle Santy will get a new one, a better one, it’s all picture no sound from her and is giving said nameless Uncle the shivers and reminding him of the film Omen each time he visits.

Winner:
Lees Jeez: “Would you ever just give the Cheerio’s Childline Concert tickets to my Niece as I live my life on superficial and bought love, my acceptance in this modern society is solely based on purchasing the adoration of my siblings through tea making, computer fixing and general “there’s a spider out the back garden, will you mock it with your face” by arriving home with this beast of a gift my 14 year old niece Olivia will throw her hands in the air like she just don’t care and further my use to her until Christmas….p.s she really loves Little Mix and I just want to pretend I know who they are and not as previously thought, a blender of sorts.”

Thanks all.

Earlier: Give Your Niece/Nephew The Gift Of Pop

Thanks Gemma

Would you like to be remembered by your niece/nephew as the Uncle/Aunty who gave them free tickets to see The Wanted, Little Mix and Conor Maynard?

Golden, melodic, scream-filled memories they will cherish for about a week FOREVER.

“Remember you got me tickets for The Wanted. Ha Ha,” they will recall fondly.

We have a PAIR of tickets to next Wednesday’s Cheerio’s Childline Concert at the O2, Dublin to give away.

To be that Aunt/Uncle, just please complete this short sentence

Thanks all.

Beans?

BEANS!?

Mark at the Jam Art Factory writes:

Thought you’d appreciate this screen printed tote bag by Fatti Burke. Not too sure about the beans though, beans shouldn’t be let near a breakfast…You can pick up one of these here  Or from one of our two Dublin shops.

 

But beans.

We have ONE Full Irish tote bag to GIVE away to the most lucid defence of baked beans as a traditional breakfast staple. FIGHT!
