What is the worst Christmas present you have ever received (can you top my personal experiences)?
there are too many for me to count. My grandmother on my dad's side is unique (for lack of a better word). A few years ago she bought me her favorite wrapping paper so I could wrap her gift (the one I was supposed to get her). The same year she boosted a "breast augmentation" pamphlet and dvd from a plastic surgeon's office and gave it to my sister. Then she gave my brother an "United States Navy" enlistment information. I wish I could make this stuff up...

- my grandma bought me a barbie doll and im 19...
- I got my draft notice in 1966 on Christmas day. While at a "fire base" in Vietnam
- my brother gave me a bust of lt. O'toulroue (sp) from Star Trek. ( I am not a Trekkie) Where do you put something like that. It was a joke though.
- in 1967 was in the dak to area of south vietnam in the infantry. i got a can of ham and lima beans and no heat tabs. but it was sorta taste cuz i was alive. go pats.
- well i havent gotten anything too bad for christmas or i dont think any holiday, but my friends dad once got her a bunch of spam, rica- a -roni, and ramen for her birthday!

- My boyfriend brought me the jigsaw I gave to the charity shop back for me as he knew I'd like it.
- last christmas when i was 14, my aunt got me some barbie stuff. it was a barbie doll and a barbie phone. i didn't like it at all, but of course was like "yeah i liked it."
- I am allways grateful for every present I receive. Even if I receive a piece of s**t I allway smile back and say "thank you for the wonderful gift"
- ugh i never had a grandmother, a step grandmother yes and she was cruel to me.but one Christmas i begged my mother for a typewriter and she got me a very old one that didn't work A-tall--totally broken the other ones were just oranges which i hated and would give to my brother,candy and nuts in an old sock.
- Fruit Cake. You can't top that... It's the worst gift ever! It's like giving someone a bucket of puke, without the bucket, because the bucket would be useful. No, just puke in my hands and keep your fruit cake!
- My grandmother gave me a framed picture of my mom with the guy she dated before my dad and said "If your mom had married him, maybe you and your sister would have better social skills" Lets just say that after that I showed her that my social skills did need improving. She was a terrible hag.
- an eviction notice on christmass eve.
- So how long has your granny been locked up for? And can she receive visitors? A great gift for her would be a FRUITCAKE for obvious reasons.
- Ouch!! that is really bold, arrogant, etc. Glad she is not my Grandmother, I would get weight watcher's Info in my stocking. All kidding aside, the worst gift I ever got was a macrame purse with wooden handle's from my Grandfather's girlfriend. It was the thought that counted though eh?
- A five foot tall, karaoke singing, Santa Claus that wiggled and danced while it sang...
- mine would be the bracelet my dad got me one year..........it turns out it was fake and broke two days after i got it.........that weekend my friend and i went to a conveinience store to get two bottles of water, and then i saw the same bracelet on the shelf selling for $1.99.....that was when i was 12........im 20 now and havent talked to him since my 13th birthday party, and im kind of glad.i mean, he doesnt know im even in college, or that i have a boyfriend of 3 years(mark) and thats fine by me
- My husband got me coffee filters a few times. Finally I said why are you getting me these, I don't even drink coffee. The coffee pot was in the basement in storage. I think he got them because they were cheap. He hasn't gotten them since. Though he has given me other stuff.
- My great aunt isn't very good at presents past presents include scented drawer liners didn't have any drawers at the time and a jar of peaches in brandy there is so many i cant remember them all this years gift is waited for in anticipation
- I got a pack of gum from my grandmother (not surprising, as she worked at the Wrigley factory in Chicago for years & we got gum from her all the time - it was free). But to get it as a Christmas present really, truly sucked eggs! Sounds like your grandmother was a trip. So did you use the wrapping paper on another gift to your grandmother, or did you get the one you were supposed to get her & wrap it in her favorite wrapping paper? Did your brother finally join the Navy (or not yet)? And did your sister ever get the breast augmentation? Does it look "natural"? ;-) May all your days be merry, filled with much joy & laughter! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year too!!!
- Last year I got a play time Ducky bath set for ages 6 months and up. I gave it to my child?
- the worst present was a wash cloth!!!
- I can't top that. But a couple of years ago I got one of the ugliest sweaters known to mankind. It was a Christmas sweater with no fewer then four Santa Clauses on it. The friend who gave it to me said that it looked like me. One year my Mom went "shopping" at a friend's store--a second hand store. I got a thin blue bathrobe and my sister got a purple dress. The dress was purple with a lacey type collar thing. My Mom didn't quite get why my sister didn't like it because it was purple and purple was my sister's favorite color at the time. It didn't dawn on her that she didn't like it because it was ugly for a teenage girl and that just because it was the right color didn't mean it was the right style.
- My sister-in-law specializes in "recycled" gifts, which wouldn't be so bad if she'd just give the present and keep her mouth shut! Instead, she tells us all about how she already has a set of steak knives that she likes better or she got this book and didn't like it, so she's giving it to us. Last year's gift was the absolute kicker, though. We got (I am not joking) a used plastic silverwear holder. Yep, they cost $1 brand new at the Dollar Tree. . .and she gave us a used one. This year, she is getting a set of the absolutely ugliest angel figurines that I could find. And I'm going to be sure to tell her that I'll be coming over soon to see them because I just know she'll want to put them on her fireplace mantel. My mama didn't raise no dummies when it comes to one-upsmanship in the tacky Christmas gift department! Edit: I forgot to mention the fact that my brother-in-law and his wife get the same treatment from her. So about four years ago, they took a brand new DVD, unwrapped the plastic, and told her that they'd gotten a duplicate and decided to give her the one that they didn't need. Four years later, sis-in-law still brings up getting a "used DVD" and has a hissy fit about how tacky they were to give her something they didn't want. I'd tell her the truth, but it's more fun to watch her rant and rave.
- My mother bought me a Black Sabbath cd with the singer after Ronnie James Dio. It was pretty bad.
- Oh my that is one of the oddest. LOL I would have to say the flu and trying to sleep in a motel on a waterbed that was not waveless. No bathtub just a shower. LOL IT was the "No Tell Motel" I kid you not. My new husband and I were traveling through Tuscon Arizona and the only motel with an opening was that one. It was gross and I was sick.
- That is great. My grandparents have a similar sense of humor. One year we drove across the country (Louisiana to Michigan) so that my paternal grandmother could give my mother a laundry basket with canned vegetables inside. What was the best was that she wrapped the cans!! :P I can remember my mom opening each one, "Oh, peas. Thank you" My mom was such a good sport that year. My brother also had something great, she gave him a bottle of hersheys syrup. LOL We were all smiling, it was tough to not roll on the floor watching individual veggies being opened.
- I found out last Friday the State was not going to renew my contract at work. The company skipped my Christmas bonus and Christmas party
