You must have been the strangest child... I would have loved that.
My worst one was actually birthday, and the year I received nothing after it had been given a huge build up. I didn't even want anything, but it had been given such attention and then, on the day, everyone forgot it was my birthday.

If it makes you feel any better, on my 19th birthday, my brother phoned me and said:
"Happy birthday Andy. Any chance I could borrow 40 quid?"
and I got bugger all off my parents as well. Ah well, not to worry, christmas this year should be better

At least he remembered it was your birthday.
Although strangely, that does make me feel better. Did you lend him the £40?
A satsuma in my stocking

I got a skateboard for my ps2 once, and I didn't even have any games I could use it on...
Mines nothing to do with christmas but still pretty diabolical. Needs backstory.
I was in a production at my local theatre, and my dressing room and another decided to do a 'Surprise Box' rather than everyone spend loads of money on other people. We were given £20 cap, and you had to wrap your gift up, but it in the box and the gifts were all given out at random during an interval. I spent £19 on a beautiful perfume bottle covered in rose (we had to get something girly), and everyone else opened up their presents and got nice things like expensive haircare products, jewellery, cute show memorobillia (sp?)
I opened mine to find.... a bunch of 'OK' magazines.
Ok... bloody.... magazines.
Probably worth about a fiver in total.
Needless to say no one owned up to buying it. I was pretty pissed.

My ex decided for my birthday she would make a collage of lots of pictures of us together on a huge poster with "together forever" in the middle, and a home made cake(couldnt tell what flavour it was meant to be, it was crap) with "together forever" on it and a card saying to my fiance!, wed been dating for 3 months...
Freaked me out so much
tbf my parents present made up for it (dh bike worth 3k
)

Yes I suppose he did. I gave him the money and he never gave me it back, the bastard. Every time I mention it he throws a strop, and I can't really be arsed with his pish, to be honest.
Heres something that'll make you feel even better: my younger brothers brithday (not the one who I gave the money to) got a ****in PS3 for his birthday, which was exactly 13 days before mine.

That sounds like a last minute job to me. The person who bought it probably thought "Oh ****e i haven't bought a present for this thing yet." Hard lines. Still, at least you had some bedtime reading
