What's the worse gift you have ever received at Christmas ?
Last year my mom gave me granny knickers and I mean GRANNY ONES  Covered in flower prints I reckon they would of come up to my neck if I wore them. When opening the present and I held them up, Hubby threatened to divorce me if I had any thoughts of wearing them, we both just erupted in fits of laughter. My mom said well I thought they would be compfy as you are getting on in age, geez thanks mom!!! 
So anyone had some doozies in pressies for christmas that were either totally useless or insulting or just really weird and totally lame. ? |

| lol, good topic!
A few years ago my boyfriend at the time got me a custom made hat. It was cute, but totally inappropriate for me. First off it was really fancy/trendy which is a far cry from my hoodie/jeans combo and second off it had *rabbit fur* on it. I almost died when I opened it up, and upon finding out that it was in fact real rabbit fur I immediately gave it back to him. If he didn't know after 2 years that I didn't want a dead rabbit on my head then he didn't deserve tact. We broke up 4 days later. In second place is every present my brother got me as a kid. My sister and I would buy cute little mugs and keychains for our family and my brother would gift us with his old comic books, pencil drawings of dogs (he didn't even have the nerve to color them in...), and one year a lump of coal. He has since improved his gift giving, which I attribute to his wife |
When we were kids my aunt and uncle always got my sisters and me Carters white underpants, the 3 pack  . C'mon, we weren't rich but we didn't need family buying our underwear. When you're 5 how do you act thrilled to receive such bounty  |
Knicker giving runs in your family too then 
I suppose the other question is, have you re-wrapped and re-gifted something you dont want onto others as a present
Those knickers were HUGE I reckon if I jumped from a plane and held them over my head they would parachute me safely to earth
Thinking of sending on the granny knickers to my sis just for a good joke this year. Had them in the cupboard (unused  ) so thought either for Brie when in heat or just darn mean as a joke for my older Sis. Maybe even would make good dust cloths, what to do what to do with those darn unsexy, granny, super enormous,flower power knickers  |
| I work in a school and get lots of cute stuff from the kids. But I can't use all of it.
The food is shared with family and friends or taken to a shelter. Since I collect Santas, I am the lucky recipient of some that are given to fellow staff members. And I pass along snowmen and trees to others. I put bags of stuff on the kitchen counter and my kids can get some things, if they want it. Candles, scarves, gloves, etc. Many of the gifts are stored in a large basket in the garage. I put a sticky note with the name of the giver on it, so I don't accidentally regift to that person. They are great for quick gifts and even a few white elephant gifts. |

What do you say when you get a gift like that? I just hope she didn't want you to try them on 
I can't think of my worst gift yet, but I usually say something from my mom. Of course I re-gift!! I never understood what the big deal was. If I don't like something, it'll get thrown in the trash or tossed somewhere in the house ...never to be found again, so why not give it to someone else? In fact, ALL of the baby gifts I received this time around will be given to other people as they have their babies next year. I got so many clothes, repeat books since this is my third child, hand-me-downs, and diapers that a lot of it just sat there, so why not pass it down. I guess the bad thing is, I will claim I bought just for them of course |
| You know, I was thinking long and hard on this. When my siblings and I were younger, "santa" would always give us socks and pjs. And back then, we thought that was awful. Now, my siblings go "oooohhh socks! PJs!" It's amazing how your persective changes.
My mom always does 'bathroom' baskets, which consists of new toothbrushs, toothpaste, deodorant, soap, etc. That's always fun too. If I really had to say, the one thing that I disliked the most was when my sister Laurie and my brothers would give me presents. Not because of what it was... because it was wrapped with duct tape and the comic section of the paper. |
| I keep getting white pants...... ALL from my mother-in-law. I think that I am up to 3 pairs.
I just do not have the "butt"  to pull off white pants. I might as well have "wide-load" stamped across my caboose.
I say thank you and just keep thinking of the stack of white pants home in the closet from the years before. |
| mine wasnt a ''horrible'' gift...just not appropriate for me....it was our second Christmas, married...the first year getting diamond earrings...next to the tree was a HUGE wrapped box....with antisipation and complete bafflement...i couldnt, for the life of me, figure out what it was...
Christmas morning, he drags the box over to me...the kids are bouncing on the sofa...all of us in a complete rush of excitement.. i rip off the paper...the box doesnt have any disserning marks on it...brian hands me a box cutter.....i open the box......the kids are screaming ''what is it?" ''what is it?"..i have NO idea... brian helps me pull this thing out of the box....i look at him totally baffled...wtf?? "babe, its a trunk liner for your new car!!!!!" really??? then this happened... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0VWovQyzoA |
| I love that video!
Thanks Darcy for posting it!!! 
It even got a laugh out of Todd last year, comment of something like "sorry bast*%$", ...lol |
| Love the video!
My worse gift was a purple plastic handbag. It was so bad it was funny! |
| We can't stop laughing at work Did you see the one next to it "return to the dog house"???? |

| One brother and SIL have no clue what or who I am. They know I am not what they consider "proper" family material in that politically incorrect, care not for politics and politicos, big cars/houses/world trips, etc. For awhile they thought I was an Earth Child or some such so the gifts were bizarre hippy arts-n-crafts stuff when I really preferred china/crystal stuff....you know Wedgewood, not driftwood. Anyway, one gift was a piece of driftwood onto which the artists had macramed a web and a giant spider in jute. Where would one put such?? Living room wall over a gold brocade couch and white velvet chairs which we had for several years? |

I think that would be just lovely! Hey, we need to see some pictures of your house now!  |
No meat for 20 years and you end up with all those steaks GEEZ that is a doozie of a present  |
| My brother usually gives me a bottle of cheap nasty wine. He buys those mixed dozen on line. (I think they often just package up the wine that no one else will buy) Yes I do like the odd glass or two but I prefer my wine drinkable.
He outdid himself a couple of years ago and gave me cheap nasty perfume. I'm allergic to perfume, cant wear it at all. If its bad it makes my lips swell, which then gives me cold sores but mostly I get blinding migraine headaches. |
| That's hillarious Mim, my mom (yes again ) gave me one year those fake perfumes, opened it and smelt like a cat whizzed in it, it was vile, did not even re-gift that one.
Keep telling her a voucher would be nice then I can hit the boxing day sales when everything goes down hugely in price and pick out something that is not granny knickers, or things that smell like cat pee.
Carefull Mim have a present for you, guess what they are, might re-gift those undies onto you, I am sure wayne will be rapt |
| When I was married, my sister-in-law (husband's sister) overheard me joking about a concrete burro lawn decoration. You know, the planter kind...She drew my name for the grab bag that year and guess what I got. Yep, a concrete lawn burro. I was pretty annoyed about it because I thought it was a joke and the real present would come later. Never did. That WAS my present.
Funny thing is, I'm no longer married to her brother but she and I are still good friends...... |
| A relation-in-law of mine actually gave a couple-friend of ours a half-eaten tub of chocolate covered raspberry sticks from Trader Joes that was a part of a gift we had actually given to the relation-in-law!
All-time worst gift eva, I gotta think. |

Wayne will want a divorce too. Could you really bear to be the cause of Tiggy and Rastus having their parents separate? |

You are right! After a house full of dogs, the house is not what it was years ago. The gold brocade couch is now Jack's bed. The sole remaining white chair is the bedroom chair and usually has a blanket thrown over it as the dogs like to rub against it.
This is the only pix I have of the living room where you see I've gone from gold couch to gold chair and purple plaid chairs over a red rug. Yes one wall is also purple, but not in photo.
Normally all in the living room is covered by blankets to protect against dogs, but macrame spiders still would not work w/ my wall pictures...southwest and landscapes. |
