Worst X-mas Present?

**ParNone** · 11-17-2005, 03:44 PM

What's the worst Christmas gift you've ever gotten?

My grandmother got me Toilet Paper one year. Do you how hard it is to look really excited and appreciative of Toilet Paper? I shoulda got an Oscar that year.

I found out later, that she'd asked my sister what I needed. We were rooming together at the time and I always seemed to run out of toilet paper and hadn't made it to the grocery yet and would use some of hers. So she told Grandmom, Toilet Paper, as a joke. Uh, never do that to grandparents, they take stuff literally.

My other grandmother gives me a chip and dip set every x-mas. I tell ya, I'm ready to have the biggest Salsa party ever someday. But am running out of cabinet space in the meantime.

I'm not a nicknack kind of girl so I don't like getting that stuff for Christmas. Both of Justin's grandmothers always give us things that they've made, which I both love and hate. I love that they took the time to make us something, but I hate that it's always porcelain ducks or some other nicknack that I'm not in to. (I keep all of that stuff in a box in my closet.)

Hahahehehhe!
I think the worst gift I ever got was from my gramma too. It was a container of torrone candy... it had a bunch of dead ants in it. She couldn't/can't see worth a danm and didn't notice. I pretended to be all happy, but was grossed out. My dad actually got very mad at her for that. I really didn't care...

I have a friend that gives the worst presents....she always gives me knick knacks and I too hate knick knacks. You kind of would think she would put more thought into it, I think I am pretty easy. I LOVE candles, everyone know that but I never get them for presents hardly.

I haven't really gotten a christmas present in a long time. Only a very few since I turned 16. Even when I was young I didn't get too many presents because my birthday is so close to christmas.
Although I never really got a "bad" christmas present I did always seem to get something that I asked for but different. It was always my fathers fault, he's the only one that went shopping. (we didn't get along at all until just about 5 years ago). Sometimes I swear he had to do it on purpose as this happened all the time with litterally almost every gift and my brothers would always get exactly what they asked for.
Anyways sorry for rambling/venting. lol
I'd ask for a watch that is waterproof & does not have gold on it so I got a gold non-waterproof watch. I asked for a nice warm winter coat to go sledding in I'd get a leather jacket. I asked for goofy items I'd get mickey mouse. I asked for a yahtzee game I got uno. I think you get the idea.

so we are close to getting some bad stuff.

........, but before i have gotten 2 exactly the same pj´s from the same family!!!! (mother side) how in the world!!!
the next year i got 2 exactly the same jewelry boxes for imaginary jewelry as i never wore any!!!! until now (wedding ring) and from the same people i got the pj´s the year before!!!!! aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

i aslo always asked for something and got something totally different

I usually like my gifts, I'm not real picky. Last year, though, my mother-in-law bought a poker set and poker chips for my husband and I. Neither of us has ever had any interest in poker whatsoever. Of course, we smiled and said we love it...then put it in the basement...

The year my MIL decided I needed a home made gift from her a beer bottle reindeer.

**AllAmericanPUP** · 11-17-2005, 07:42 PM

every year my grandma would either get me some kind of make up kit or a curling iron or hair ties or brushes, etc. etc. and i am *not* a girly girl and i do not use these types of things(i mean i use a brush but i only need one), so my sister got my gift eveyr year LOL.

I have to admit that my worst Christmas present was from my Grandma, too. It was a set of Knoxberry(?) Jellies -- all different flavors. The problem was that she had to sample them before she gave them to us.

Ewww!

Me and some of my girlfriends had a little white elephant gift exchange of things people had given us for Christmas that we hated... I forget what I took to exchange but I got a gift of a pendant of a bubble gum machine that I actually liked and now that the friend is gone on to the other side, I keep it where I can see it all the time to remind me how short life is... (not exactly fitting here but that is all I could think of)

Hee hee..this is a cute thread.

My worst: My sister-in-law gave me a hat box.

Did you even know they still made hat boxes? Do you know what a hat box is? LOL!

Great thread!! lol

I got a Bratz doll one year, when I was WAY to old to acctually want one, I threw it on the floor (still in the box) and i think its in a closet somewhere because my mom said "it might be worth something some day!" Yea right!!!
