The curse of homemade gifts

[Alex]

Gather up all the things you don't like and head for the beach. Start a bonfire and then throw each item in the fire one at a time shouting out some awful thing about your mother as you do so.

It'll be really cathartic.

Or, you'll convince yourself that you hate your mother and then throw away even the stuff you do like and that'll save you a lot of room and free up the holidays for personal travel. Win win.
