Last Friday, we asked the question, “Tell us your worst ever Christmas Present?”

As you all came back with some hilarious answers, we thought we’d share a few with you here so you can see what our fellow Tweeters definately won’t be asking for this Christmas!

A big congratulations goes to @jessbatfink who won with the following answer:

“It had to be a Cliff Richard Calendar that was 2 years out of date and smelt like wet dog thanks Gran.”

…Lovely Jess!! We’re into our calendars here at GettingPersonal.co.uk but a Cliff Richard one that smells like wet dog?? ..No thank you!!!

Here’s some other favourite answers:

@Hertschick  – “A jetwash from my OH! To clean my patio with aparantly! Err, no thanks would rather have received a nice handbag ”

@casperthegh0st – ” What’s your worst ever Xmas gift? A toilet seat from my fiance. It was very nearly the end, I didn’t speak to him for 2 days!”

@thunderbirdsGO – “a cheese board. It had been under the tree for a while and had gone off. I had kept thinking the baby needed changing….”

@Mezzz – “Wasn’t me but my friend was given a yorkshire pudding tray for Christmas from Mum in law & other D in law was given Chanel!”

You can catch the final episode of Eddie’s challenge on 9pm this Saturday 20th March on BBC3 – and hopefully that’ll inspire you enough to get running yourself the following day as on Sunday 21st March tens of thousands of people across the UK will be taking part in a Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Mile, raising money for Sport Relief 2010 – and you’ve still got time to join them! There are hundreds of locations across the UK – find your nearest one here.

If you’re taking part, we’d love to see some snaps of you and your pals on the run – just upload them to our Facebook wall.

Watch out for our snaps of the GettingPersonal team doing their bit for Sports Relief – all in the name of charity!!

Do you fancy winning a thousand pounds worth of gifts from GettingPersonal.co.uk?! Then just tell us why you should be crowned our Gift Buyer of the Year – we’d love to know what you bought, who it was for and why they loved it so much.

Who knows, your thoughtfulness could net you a whole host of gifts – that you can keep for yourself!
