... but when I hit 13 the presents were just odd. Though I did appreciate them, if only for the amusement at how they'd top it the following year.

Know what you mean...
WORST: a pair of Toe-socks which my God-father gave me when i was 15 -horrendous and impossible to wear.
- before the toe socks i got some Avon Pretty Peach cologne and hand cream -they only "girly" present I received at Xmas ever. I loved it as all the other presents i ever got were Educational or useful (ie boring).
After the toe socks it was a soap-on-a-rope like a lemon, then a wooden biro to wear round the neck which clipped into the top (green), finally some burgundy leg-warmers which i used to wear for playing tennis (these I did appreciate as they were trendy back then) Pressies from my God-father stopped at 18...
Wish someone had bought me a mini-greenhouse -i just got a patch by the garage where i grew starwberries. I did go on to get a Botany degree though
Am very good at killing off house-plants these days...
