when iwas 11 i got a lovely pressie (can't actually remember what it was now!!!) but it came in a box for a fish pump.

It was from a good friend of mine who had put it in there to make it easier to wrap. i honestly thought i had been given a fish tank pump! - my mum always told me to be gracious for any present i got, you should have seen me trying to be happy about receiving a pump! LOL.

I think you are lucky!
I had to buy myself a bog-standard beginner's rod, but have never actually gone anywhere to use it yet!
But - it is there as and when.
Just after I got married, my dear BIL gave me a hot water bottle for my birthday, and my beloved bought me a new tyre for the car once - his car!
