Worst Christmas Gifts Ever

[shotgun]

Okay Freepers, it is that time of year when we start wondering what we are going to get from Santa, and of course we are forced to remember the ghosts of Christmas' presents past.

Can anyone beat a USED snow shovel? Hmmmmm

I meant my ex-boyfriend, LOL....

Only if they box it up and gift wrap it for you.

A flannel sack with feet, from my husband.. It looked like someone was making clothes for giant weeblewobbles.

I told him I wanted something warm. I was thinking of fur.

Ah - actual gifts...hmm...my brother got one of those plastic singing mounted bass a couple of years ago.

I gave it to him.

"Point of clarification: These would be gifts that were actually received..."

Ok, actually have a few that I actually received.

When I was about ten years old, my old man gave me nothing but tools for Christmas. I can barely tie my own shoes without hurting myself and this idiot gives me a cordless drill? I guess he was trying to turn me into a mechanic. (He failed miserably, I'm a CPA)

I was about 13 or 14 years old and had been skateboarding and surfing for a few years (read: cool guy) when we went to visit our aunt and uncle we hadn't seen for a few years.

For some reason or other, they didn't believe my brother and I had aged and gave us both Winnie the Pooh printed sheets and pillow cases. We smiled and said, Thank You.

I gave a jewelry box to my friend and she gave it back to me about 2 years later. :)

5x too large, matronly womens underwear. - Senior citizen type.

(received by my wife when she was in grammer school)

Does getting your gallbladder removed two days before Christmas count as a Christmas gift?

I think that comes under "It is better to give, than to receive"

"Leaves of Grass"

Lucky you, I only got ice...

Monogrammed snot rags

Wow you mean you actually didn't like the snot hankies, monogrammed with the intials FR, Toddler got you as a Christmas present.

Don't worry Fred, I am not a member of TOS, I won't be posting your dissing of the Toddler's present. He'll do that himself.

I have a sister in law who has given been some of the worst junk, paper mache wise men (badly made), teapots with parts of other teapots stuck to them. Pure crap that should have been thrown away at the factory instead of sold in the first place. I am embarassed to think she wasted her money on it, even if it cost $.50.But I never sunk to her level, I always gave a nice gift. Finaly this year, she sent a nice floral centerpiece for the table. I don't know what has come over her.

"Leaves of Grass"

Bubba was kind of a cheapskate, huh?

[HenryLeeII]

Point of clarification: These would be gifts that were actually received...

For our favorite Dem'Rats: Saddam Hussein served to the American people on the President's turkey platter! Not exactly what they were hoping for during this, their non-Christian secular Rama-Kwanza-dan Winter Vegan-Solstice Holiday season!

"I don't know if this beats a used snow shovel, but it did make me cry.

My boyfriend gave me plastic Star Wars dishes, cups, etc. for Christmas, and to top it all off, they were Episode 1, for goodness' sakes!"

You mean his thoughtful Star Wars gift made you cry tears of joy? I feel the same way when Mrs. Exile gives me my Christmas Doctor Who books and videos. (Actually, I buy them myself, and she buys herself a playstation 2 game. It's not very traditional, but we each get what we want)

My worthless EX- father-in-law is the culprit here. Then the next year he gave me an emergency road side flare kit. To add insult to injury, he tried to justify it by saying what a great gift it was and that I would love it!!!

I yelled at him right in the living room that I hoped I would never have to used the D*&# thing...what a friggin idiot he was...

[shotgun]

You should have been thankful you weren't dating Pub_Fight..See Post #28

The gift that keeps on giving...

Yikes!
