Your worst Christmas Present?

Recommended Posts

I just finished reading the "what I want for christmas thread" and it got me thinking about all the bad presents I have received (don't want to seem ungrateful, but sometimes you really wonder what the giver was thinking!)

My worst present was a black fleece poncho type thing my fiance got me. It looked like someone took a big circle of black fleece and just put a whole for your head in the middle. Not at all my style, but he waited until Christmas Eve to do his shopping so you guys know what is left by then! I put the poncho away as I couldn't be rude and just throw it out. A few years later mom was going through stuff I had put in her attic and pulls out the poncho. My fiance starts laughing his butt off when he sees it and asks me where I ever picked that "thing" up! I started laughing even harder than he was and finally was able to tell him I got it from HIM! grin.gif He said it must have been a very desperate shopping day for him. On the plus side, I was finally able to get rid of it!

What is your worst present?

Re: Your worst Christmas Present?

My dad ussually came in strong with a few.. LOL

He knows I am big time into hunting and wanted to "help" outfit me with stuff.

He asks what I need and I tell him.

"I need a lazer range finder..."

I get the cheaper optical mirror type. With a statement that all his work buddies use this and its the one to have... Kinda like a justification.

"Ok dad...." and into the not using it drawer... LOL

I say "Motorola 5 mile range radio", and I get Mead CB radios (a pair) that looks like a large bricks.. LOL

Again into the drawer of no return...

This was quite a few years ago so I have learned to NOT ask for hunting items from him...

Now these items work and are nice but not my style or what I deem usefull to me. They just sat in the drawer for years...

I sold these items here not so long ago so I am not bashing them, and they are indeed "new" in condition, just not what I "need"...

His heart was in the right place.....

I love socks. I am 21 years old and love to get socks for Christmas. Is there something wrong with me. Up until last year my grandma always got me socks. I expected it.

Last year I tore into package that had a nose/ear hair trimmer. I thought I got one of my uncles gifts by mistake. Where are my socks....turns out she bought all the guys these trimmers. Poor grandma...it was funny as heck cause we all sat around trying them out Christmas night! grin.gif

Nose hair trimmer! Wait man, you'll appreciate those later. I promise.

Two gifts always come to mind for me. My grandma bought me a woman's sweater one time for christmas. She went to some big sale and like the color pattern. It had a split neck and and was opened all the way to the shoulders. It was awful!

My aunt always gets me Cologne. Its really....really bad stuff too. She hits the red light special at Walmart and brings me a variety pack of something in the neighborhood of High Karate. Seriously, I didn't know Bruit made so many different insect repellents. grin.gif
