    The Bad Gifts of 2005

    LOL, I was laughing my butt off at some of the bad gifts people were mentioning in a previous thread. I thought we'd see what truly awful gifts were given this year.

    For my family, I told my SIL that I was getting my older daughter a digital camera, and that she needed accessories. I mentioned that a tripod would be AWESOME. On Christmas Eve, and she opened up a pack of (50) 4x6 STAPLES brand photo paper. That was all she got from my brother and his wife! And Ash is just walking around mumbling, "paper, I got a pack of paper for Christmas!"

    I know its the thought that counts, but what were they thinking?

    My mom gave me deoderent. I also got a punching robot toy from my brother. My uncle gave me only 2$. At least it's better than the hello kitty bracelet he got me for my birthday.

    Someone gave me the ugliest ornament that I've ever seen before. I wish I'd have kept it & took a pic but I actually threw it away when I brought it home. It was supposed to be a tree decorated like a cookie but it looked like it had poop on it . . . I guess it was supposed to be decorated with cholocate but the "chocolate" looked like poop! . . . I promise . . . . even my husband thought so!

    I got many pairs of socks this year. I can understand my mom getting me socks, she has this idea that socks keep colds away. However why my aunt gave me socks.. I'll never know. I also got this horrible leather braided bracelet from another aunt. I've never once worn jewlery other, it was from one of those mail order jewlery companies. I think she just ordered a bunch of stuff, wrapped them then attached peoples names to the boxes.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    Oh my God, what were they thinking??? My MIL gave me the most awful pair of slippers ever!! They're peach and baby blue colored, with big foamy soles. To try to walk down stairs in them is taking one's life into one's own hands. They are an accident waiting to happen, not to mention highly unfashionable. But then, the capper was my gift from the family gift exchange. My SIL gave me a necklace and matching earrings. Now granted she has been living in the States for a number of years and has recently moved back to Canada and does not know me very well. But please - these are the most awful pieces of jewellery I have ever seen. I don't mean to be ungrateful because it is supposed to be the thought that counts, but was there any thought put into this gift.

    i don't think pricetags are bad...you may see how much the thing cost...but if you don't like it you can return it to the store and get a refund...my nana always leaves the receipt in the bag too...but that's just me...normally if i return something i tell them...

    I got good things this year...but sometimes i feel really bad because my mom got me a really cute horse sweater, but it is sooo itchy inside, i barely have any longlsleve shirts, and it has no pockets...and my nana got me this down vest...and i always wear that, instead of what my mom got me...grrr...

    I actually didn't see any bad gifts get handed around at my place this year....however...

    My mom always buys about five extra unmarked gifts so that if anyone unexpected shows up we have a gift for them. They're usually pretty good, unisex gifts, but this year we accidentally gave a very girly candle holder to a male relative. We swapped it for a box of truffles after he opened it.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
