I saw a blog several years ago asking folks to write about the worst Christmas gift they ever received. It is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Knowing the sense of humor most freepers have, I would like to hear your answers and stories.
It had a sexually transmitted disease.
What a letdown.
You win.
A hippy macrame plant holder with beads from a liberal family member.
I “regifted” it to another liberal who loved it!
Three or four years ago, when son was visiting at Christmas, we put something like ten one buck scratchers in a stocking-stuffer envelope......the little turd ended up cashing in something like $160.00!
I put a rub off lottery ticket in every birthday card I give to friends and family, with a note that says this may be worth up to $1000 (or whatever). My inside sources tell me that recipients like getting them.
I am still trying to think of my worst gift, just off hand it would have to be some stinky perfume my s-i-l gave me.
First year my true love gave to me, a Gerber knife.
Next year a .38 snubby.
A variable speed, reversing drill.
A used, but nice Honda Spree. Drove it for years.
A Leatherman.
A white nightgown lined in satin.
A home made holster for the .38.
Wetstone and diamond dealie to sharpen knives.
A truckload of landscaping bricks.
Pickup truck bed liner paint and fabric for a new headliner.
A magnolia tree.
Now, which one doesn’t fit? Yeah, that one is still in a drawer unused. The rest were absolutely perfect!!
I’m hoping for a bunch of plexiglass this year.
That’s funny. I hit the mouse button faster. LOL
see my post 25...
I was due to give birth to our first child about a month after Christmas. For Christmas my husband’s dad and stepmother gave us a joint gift of a used pager so I could get a hold of him (cell phones were not ubiquitous then). It wasn’t even activated!!!!
This year we are going to exchange white elephant gifts with my brother and his wife. I have already decided my brother is getting my Hillary Nutcracker from me. he he
And the thing wot REALLY sucks, is you are a guy!
obambi as the President of the United States.
No, but she did not even buy it she got it for free from her gyn doc. (it was imprinted with his name on it.)
I can never blame my husband for giving me a really bad gift. One year, I gave him one of those child wandering monitor devices. The part you put on the kid, I put on his keys. The other part I sewed into his coat. He was always losing his keys and would take forever to find them every morning, or he’d leave them in a store, or in the gas station, or where ever.
He was not amused.
He re-gifted it to some folks in our choir who had just had their first child. They actually used it.
We’re still late a lot of mornings because he can’t find his keys. So, now I just tell him I think he is getting dementia and we just laugh.
I thought the douche bag was the winner until I read yours! YOU WIN (or lose).
YOU WIN!
I am on the floor CRYING!!! :-)
A perfume bottle -— empty!
It was one of those old fashioned ones with the bulb attached to spritz.
Obviously a re-gift -— from 1925...
Keeps getting funnier!
