What was your worst Christmas gift...

hawkshoe wrote: You know you got them...lol. The gift that when you opened it you instantly thought "what were they thinking?".

Last year my sil bought me a can of flavored coffees. Mind you, this is the sil that I always drink tea with. She knows I don't drink coffee. Well this year she gets me one of those buckets that you add alcohol to and freeze to make a martini. Actually a pretty nice gift right? Well guess what flavor.....Mochatini. Ugh...lol.

3_call_me_mama replied: None that i got personally.. but some my kids got!
(I'll leave it at that or it'll turn into a rant about buying 2 year olds make-up!)

amymom replied: I can't think of any that I got, that I do not like. But last year one of my sil's received from another sil one of those chocolate fountains. Nice Except that she is allergic to chocolate!!!

Oh wait! I did get a size 3X turtleneck last year. AT 135 lbs and 5'7", it is like a dress on me.

TANNER'S MOM replied: My SIL got me a fake cat..with like real fur on it. Why I have no idea even Randy said what made her get you that. Justin kept playing with it and saying here kitty kitty..so I gave it to him.. why me?

But other than that I am good!

lisar replied: I cant really think of anything I didnt like. Sorry.

lesliesmom replied: This one is easy... DH and I got a poinsetta plant candle. It's an all wax candle and I guess, if it burns right, you can put a votive or tea light in it but I can't even get myself to unwrap the darn thing.

Swood75 replied: Well,my mil got me a pot....why?? I don't know..

kimberley replied: i didn't get a lot but the only thing i know i'll never use is the vest my nana bought me. i am not a vest girl and the lining is leopard

Cece00 replied: Hm, I dont think I got anything I didnt like. My husband's mother gave us ALL (including the kids) cash (small amounts), which probably wouldve been fine except the way she gave it to us, which basically was like "It was too much effort to actually put some thought into a present for any of you, here's this money so I dont feel too bad about it." but then she bought other people actual presents. I guess it was kind of insulting because I actually put thought into her present.

Oh well, whatever...that's right in line for her usual behavior

Like I said, cash is fine and we appreciate it, but its just the way she went about it I suppose. Her attitude towards our family sucks.

My kids got some crappy presents from my mom's friends, though...this REALLY annoying like DJ toy for one of my sons (SO obnoxiously loud), and then a PURPLE CAT that smells like LILAC for my youngest son. Oooooook.

he he, reminds me of the dog "Rowdy" on Scrubs, you could have a lot of fun with that

CantWait replied: Well I've already ranted about my gift so I won't again.

coasterqueen replied: Dh and I only get a few presents from my side of the family, so I can't think of anything that I would classify as a terrible present. I got things that are very nice, but that I wouldn't necessarily use, but I'll find a place for them. A few of them are Dh and I both got cd travel players from my grandma. Dh's is pink and mine is purple. We'll keep them for the girls, though. My mom got me a Christmas fleece blanket. I don't need another blanket but as I type this Dh is covered with it asleep on the couch. My mom got me candles that burn off oil. Her purpose for them was genuine; she wanted me to have them for when the power goes out, since that happens a lot around our neck of the woods. I don't necessarily like them, but will use them when the time is needed.

I think that was really it as far as "different" presents I don't need, but will find uses for them.

Oh and Mel, I actually think those little kitties are cute. My step-MIL has one that she keeps on the back of her couch and I swear every time I see the thing I think it's real. We almost got the girls one, but a dog, so they would stop harping us about having a dog.

MotherForever2043 replied: I think that the worst present I recieved was a gift for my baby(which by the way, is still in my belly) The gift was a scarf, gloves, and a hat. All in red and blue!!!! I don't even know the sex yet, PLUS the clothes are for toddlers NOT newborns or infants. The gifts were from my freind/neighbor. I love her and everything, but what was she thinking?She had two kids. two girls 21 and 14. The last time she bought baby clothes was 14 years ago!!

I really do love her though! It's the thought that counts!!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Of course it's the thought that counts...but my MIL gave Wil some dice blocks. They are large wooden dice that seriously weigh at least a pound or more each. They are fun to toss, but guess where he is tossing them...at his brother's head! What was she thinking? The boys also each got a bar of soap from her. A cute kid soap, but I guess IMO, it's not what kids want. She gets them really cute clothes, but nothing ever practical. Fancy button downs and stiff corduroy pants. All very expensive. She gave Wesley a WHITE shirt...hmmmmmmmmm, that one is getting stained in about two seconds. Oh well.

sparkys2boys replied: ok, by the looks of this I did great!!! I honestly have no gifts that I don't love!!

Our Lil' Family replied: Well this year was better than last year when DH got PEANUT BUTTER from his SISTER! But this year she gave him vitamins! She gave me bright PINK lip liner and lipstick...and I mean BRIGHT, the color name is bubble gum!!!! She is one of those that just gives anything just to say she gave something. I'd rather NOTHING!

grapfruit replied: Wow, sounds like I lucked out. I got a lot of really nice stuff. The only thing I'm taking back is a pots and pans set my dad gave me. My b/f got me a set too. I don't have room for 24 pots and pans!!

BAC'sMom replied: Sorry I can't think of one. I'm a happy girl!

luvmykids replied: I like everything I got....the only one I thought was weird was the "Amazing Stretching Shirt" It looks like it would fit Macie but stretches up to a size 3x. It's suprisingly cute on, and comfy too, it just looked weird in the box.

MommyToAshley replied: I guess I lucked out... I loved all my gifts.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
OMG, that's funny! Reminds me of what my DH told me...his dad used to wrap RENTED videos when he was a kid. He also wrapped toothpaste and gave that as a gift!!

Boo&BugsMom replied: No bad ones here, but Tanner did get a few that we have to take back because they are junk (my fault too for getting them). A battery powered race car set that doesn't work and those Line Chasers (they are junk...I do not recommend them). He also got a Skittle Bowling set (it uses a ball on a chain you whip around) from the in-laws that broke after having it for a week. Both me and hubby looked at it like they were crazy when we saw the box. The last thing Tanner needs is something he can fling around like a mad man. I'm glad it broke, to be honest.

flirtycuddle replied: I got some perfume but I don't even wear the stuff(allergic) and we have to take back Jackie's TV Now thing we went all over looking for. That thing is a peice of junk and u can barly see the stuff on the screen.

holley79 replied: I got this 5 peice bag set. They are hideous. My nice MIL got them for me. When we got home DH asked me when I ticked her off. Usually she does really well.
