Unwanted presents



What do you do when you are given a completely useless present?
That is, completely useless to you, though very useful to anyone with a
need for it.

My brother gave me a wireless router, even got the right sort for a cable
connection. Trouble is, I have only one computer (that I have used
recently, anyway); so no use for a router.

He also got me a boxed set of DVDs - and I have no DVD player.

He didn't get me the present I suggested, which would have been cheaper,
and was what I wanted.
