When my children were little, back in the late 1960s, they clubbed their pocket money together and bought me a bottle of aftershave, cant remember what it was called but it was revolting, the smell was overpowering.
I had to wear it every morning, as my girls would stand there until I put some on, I then I had to go to work with this horrible smell.
I think it only cost them about 3 shillings so you can imagine what it was like

When I was 15, my stepdad, who resented the fact I existed, bought me a bottle of shampoo for Christmas, lol. It leaked, and had the price label '39p' on it. Happy days lol!! Now, I'd be happy if I got NOTHING, I have a wonderful husband and 3 kids who love me.
