  My parents gave me personalised numberplates one time. This was up in NSW where you have to pay a fee to have personalised plates, so they essentially got me an extra $100 on top of my rego every year.

  And I drove a silver car so they got me gold number plates. I know no one would have actually cared but I felt like everyone was looking at my car when I drove out of the RTA with the new plates on because they clashed so much

    Do not give silver people gold things! And ask first if white gold counts.

    It needed some fluffy dice to go with.

      That would have been a better car gift. It was a Mazda 323, nothing special. I know they did it because my brother had personalised plates but he had a Subaru Liberty that was much more interesting and he’s much more of a car guy than me

  My aunt gave me a pillowcase…I was a 12 year old boy. Bad enough that I remember it clearly 35 years later.
