I think I've had generally good presents, considering I always tell my family what I want straight up, and they do the same with me. I just tell my friends to get me gift cards because I don't consider them a bad present at all.

The closest thing would have to be one christmas where I opened up a assortment of PlayStation 2 paraphenalia (controllers, memory card, games), but I didn't open the actual PS2 until last. That would've been a kick in the teeth had I gotten every accessory for the PS2 but the PS2 itself.
