For the past 5 or so years, without fail, my grandma has given me a towel set for christmas and a bathrobe for my birthday. AND every year she claims that I don't have either...
I personally still have my spring horse from when I was little... I'm afraid to get on it again as much as I want to.. XD

I personally don't like fruit cakes.
You can use a bathrobe everyday of the week in a couple more years! ^-^

I have to say that I am suprised by the amount of lame gifts given to the female members of MacInsiders by their boyfriends; you girls deserve better!
My lamest gift would probably be a full face ski mask. I have never skied nor have I worn that hideous thing, ever.

So I submitted my lame gift to the site when I checked it out last week. It made the highlights they sent out in the e-mail for this week so that proves the epic lameness of the gift. That made me laugh.
