The Bad Gifts of 2005

Ok this is bad but not Bad. My daughter gave me a nestles crunch bar(one of those small santa shaped ones) Ok except I'm diabetic and she knows it (shes 24 not like she didn't understand ) then she says make sure you eat it in several sittings PLEASEIt's chocolate !!!!!
At least my son (22) got sugarless M&M's , a big bag.

I don't think photo paper is a bad gift. I also don't think antiperspirant is a bad gift, I've received that too.
The slippers I received this year I do not like it all, and it kind of makes me sad because you can tell they aren't my style. I think my mom would know I wouldn't like them - they look more for people in their 60's. Of course I know its the thought that counts, and appreciate that, I just thought my mom knew me a bit more.
Probably one of the worst gifts I've received was a couple years ago. I opened it up, and there was a kleenex bos. Well, that wasn't a big deal because my mom usually disguises things in kleenex boxes, but I was quite surprised to see this was filled with actual kleenexes. They weren't even the soft kind.

My neighbor just asked me over to show me her gift from her 24 year old nephew who now lives in CA (we live in AZ)

First, my neighbors are in their early 60's and George (the husband) has a LOT of health issues (just got out of the hospital after ER surgery ) They don't travel at all..................so:

She opened the gift and it was a plastic Barbie purse (did I mention that they were in their 60's ?? ) a seashell, and two $1.00 gift certificates to Disneyland.
